Tangled Up in You

Chapter 1

I have always chosen to be quiet. I never really talked to people much. I am mostly just caught up in my own thoughts, even though i hear everything people are saying about me. Even if they don't say it aloud, it's not hard to guess what they are thinking. My grandparents always told me that i needed to be more open and make the first step, but they have slacked off ever since i lost my parents. My mom and dad had left me with my grandparents for 2 weeks while they went on a business trip.

My parents were on a plane during a storm and a bolt of lightning hit the wing of the plane and made it lose control. My parents didn't survive. Two days later, my grandfather got a call from my dads boss telling him what had happened and telling him how my dad was a respected man and how the company wouldn't be where it is now without him.

I didn't go to the funeral, it's not that i couldn't go it's just i didn't think i could handle all hat emotion and knowing that i would never see my parents again. I would never see my mom touching up her lipstick just to go into Walmart. i would never get to cook pancakes with my dad on Sundays ever again. It's been a month since then and I am still faking a smile everyday.
