I was one of the people you'd probably consider as an outsider. I was the one you'd be passing with your friends in the hallways, not realizing as I was crumbling away inside. Ever since my parents passed away 9 years ago, I've never been the same little girl everyone knew me as. I was 5 years old when my parents died in a car crash. I didn't understand that one night could ruin the rest of my life. I use to think that when people's loved ones died, people would care, and people would share sympathy but I soon learnt that life wasn't all that generous...
My Aunt Rose was looking after me the day we received the horrific news. She was putting me to bed as the phone rang. As she answered the phone, her face instantly turned white. I'd never seen her in this state before. Thinking about that night gives me shivers, I try not to look back at it but my mind always seems to take the wrong turn, down that path.
