The art of joy.

Chapter 1:Life all together

I have been searching for something for all my life. For answers on why my mother left me. I'm Chloe and this is my story. The story of my mother and I. My dad is a manager, he works at this toy shop called 'dreams' it's okay but I only liked it when I was younger. There are so many toys there! When I was younger that was my heaven but now I don't have a heaven. I don't believe in heaven.
Life is one thing. People should be grateful for having a mother unless your mother has harmed you physically or mentally, other than that you should love your mother and be proud to have a mother. My mother is gone and I'm not sure where she went. I was six and I was waiting for her to come home and she never did. I am now sixteen and she is still missing. I miss my mother. We used to go to museums, theme Parks and Parks. We did everything together. Then I didn't see her come back from work. I also wonder how my dad feels. His wife. Missing.
(The next day -Chloe)
I got this weird message on my phone today saying 'help me'. I wondered who it was so I messaged them saying;
'Who are you?'
'It has been so long dear... It's mummy' I had a feeling that this was a joke. I didn't believe it so I just turned off my phone and started to doodle in my book. I should write something in my diary about this later.
My diary helps me to relieve stress and to talk things out. I had diaries after my mother died so when I feel scared or upset I could write my feelings in a book. I only have one friend in school and that's Martha. We have been best friends since we were babies.

(8:30am -Chloe-School)
I'm in my tutor class thinking about that text. So many thoughts like, 'what if it's my mother?' 'if she did leave... Why did she leave me?' Then one thought settled in my brain. She could have been raped by millions of men and now she has finally been set free, although it might be Maya and her group of friends pranking me again. She tries to make jokes about my mother to get me angry. But I don't get angry easily.
"Hey loser!" That's Maya she bullies me with her other friends, Dylan, Nina and Kelly they are all idiots and I hate them all.
"Leave her alone..?" that's Martha the chubby unicorn lover, who is my best friend.
"And what are you going to do about it Martha?"
"Uhh..."
"Exactly"
"Hi Maya would you be nice and leave Chloe alone" This is Sue. Yes, her name is girly although, she isn't, she has short spiky hair and she is an emo. And, she doesn't care about anything, in other words, she doesn't give a shit.
"ugh fine." Maya is petrified of Sue.
Well, class was boring and life was still a tip so I decided to watch the school's rugby team, play rugby, with Martha.
"Don't listen to them idiots."
"When do I listen to Maya?" We both giggle because it's true, I never take Maya seriously. Over in the corner, I see Sue, she's eating alone.
"isn't that the girl who helped you with Maya maybe we could invite her to hang out with us!"
"sure, she seems nice." Martha and I slowly approach Sue who looks at us like we're crazy. I think she doesn't recognize us from class.
"oh, you're Chloe's friend.. Right?"
"y-yes."
"I love your shirt"
"Th-thanks."
Sue gives that kind smile just like my grandmother, a comforting smile which could stop time. I blush politely at Sue and wave shyly.
"Chloe! Hey how are you."
"good, we was wondering if we could sit with you." She blushes and smiles again.
"sure!" She taps the grass and Martha and I sit next to her. Then Martha accidentally barges me.
"sorry Chloe, only if there where seats here!" Then we all break into a giggle.
