Allison's POV

My name is Allison Williams. I just turned fifteen last month. I'll be going into high school in two weeks, and I am so scared! I mean I could get lost in that school! My family told me I shouldn't worry though. But how could I not! My sister Jess is going into college next year, so I won't have anyone with me except for my friends which they don't even know where the high school is. And that doesn't help a bit!

Jess is my 18 year old sister. She can get angry at me sometimes but I still love her. My sister was supposed to be an only child because they thought my mom was going to have a miscarriage with me but somehow she didn't.

     Jess and I aren't that close as we used to be. She only talks to me about once or twice a day. Ever since she and her boyfriend, Mark, got together she's been avoiding me. Maybe she's trying to stop talking to me because of college. When she goes to college she is living in the doom instead of living with us. But that sounds so stupid! Why would she stop talking to me because of that? I don't know with her anymore.

As of right now I am laying on my floor staring at the ceiling, with my earbuds in, listening to my favorite song Faded by Alan Walker. I decide to sing along to it.

(Italics - Allison)

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us
Another start you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alight

Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now

Was it all in my fantasy
Where are you now
Were you only imaginary

Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea

Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me

I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, in faded

These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go
A deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing
Alive

Where are you now
Where are you now

Under the bright
But faded lights
You set my heart on fire

Where are you now
Where are you now

Where are you now

Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea

Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me

I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

     Once I'm done singing, I'm out of breath. I pick up my phone to see that it is 4:00. I can smell the food coming  from the kitchen to my bedroom upstairs. It smells delicious! I don't really feel like eating tonight though. Mostly because my family is there ALL THE TIME. I don't like whenever they ask me questions like "How was your day, Ali." I don't like talking to people that much.I'm antisocial but I just don't feel right about tonight.I have a bad feeling about this. I don't know why but I do.
