Behind Hazel Eyes

Chapter Two

Chapter Two

My mom can tell I don't believe it. I feel like I was shot with a bullet in my heart. My father....he can't be dead.

"Dad..." I wimped out, my voice cracks a bit and I can't control the tears. I bite my lip and my hands are sweaty. I start squeezing my hands hoping I will wake up and this will all be a dream. Some weird messed up dream. Unless....unless my father really is dead. No, I can't think like that. He wouldn't have left me. I need him and he knows that.

"Sweetie, your father is dead....and for some reason you forget that sometimes. You need to accept the fact that you father isn't coming back..."

She is crying so hard and is struggling to talk.

" oh honey he is dead...I am so sorry, it should have been me...I'm so sorry."

What...dad. Dad... No no no.

"Mom..."

I can't control my own waterfall that is now exploding behind my eyes.

"Mom....he can't be gone, mom please tell me he is okay."

She just stands there crying, she doesn't look at me. She looks every where except me.

"Mom, please." I gently grab her face with my hand and force her to look at me. "Mom..." She looks into my eyes.

"Kiera he is gone."

I bow my head. I know she is telling the truth, mom would never lie. I just can't believe it. I can't. Then my mother wraps her arms around me and hugs me tight. She is stiff and cold.

She whispers into my ear ,"you don't have to go to school today, if you don't want to"

school, oh god i forgot about school.

Sophie... maybe she can help. I need to be distracted. Even thought I hate school,

" no mom I'll go."

I go back to my room and climb in bed. I close my eyes, but can't fall asleep. I keep tossing and turning. It's going to be a long night. I sigh quietly.

I wake up to the sun shining through the window. I slowly open my eyes and realize Kylie is already up. Wow, that girl can be quiet when she wants to. I climb out of bed and walk to the mirror. Ugh I forgot how unattractive I am. My eyes are swollen and my hair is a mess. Trust me you don't want to see my in the morning, I would probably give you night mares. I run my fingers through my hair to flatten it out and go to the bathroom. I splash water on my face and put some mascara on. I change into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and slip some white converse on. I walk down stairs and welcome the scent of toast. I sit down on the bar stool in the kitchen. My mom slides the plate with toast in front of me.

"Good morning sweetie"

" thanks mom"

"I love you, honey. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, it should have been me not your father. I love you so much."

"It's okay. I love you too, mom."

I shove the toast down and pack my back pack, and I head to school. When I open the door I smell the fresh air. It smells so sweet.

------------------------------------

"Hey Soph!"

"Kiera!!" She screams in her high pitch voice. She runes over to me and gives me the biggest hug. If people didn't know us, they would probably think we haven't seen each other for years. Well I just saw her yesterday! I let out a giggle and we let go.

"So, long time no see" she says.

"How's Grant?"

Grant is Sophie's boyfriend. They have been together for about 5 months. They actually make a really cute couple. Grant is tall and has messy, dirty blond hair. Sophie is smaller than Grant but taller than me. She has blond hair.

"He's good! Ya we went out to that really good movie, The Last Lovers. Ya it was fun."

Then the bell rang, we hugged and headed off to our classes. I had Algebra...ugh I hate math. Seriously who actually uses algebra in life.

The lunch bell rang and I sat down next to Grant. Grant is actually a really nice guy. He's not my type, but he is really funny.

"Sooo... " I said as I took a big bite out of my sandwich.

"Hey K. Have you seen Soph?"

" ya I saw her earlier today. Why?"

" I don't know, just wondering. So how are you doing?"

"I'm fine." I tried to fake a smile.

"You know I can tell your lying. What's up? "

" I just don't want to talk about it."

"Okay Kiera, whatever. So remember when that weird kid in English class was mimicking Mrs. Klener the whole time she was lecturing us."

A smile spread on my face, "ya"

"Well today I ran into that same kid and he was being pulled by the ear from that same teacher! It was the funniest thing!"

I started laughing uncontrollably. I know, I know. You had to be there. It was actually really funny. That's what I liked about Grant, he could always make me laugh.

----------------------------------

I was in my last class of the day when the intercom went one "Kiera Langley, Kiera Langley please report to the office." I could feel the blood rush into my face. My face turned really warm. Shoot was I in trouble. I mean I don't think I did anything.

"Excuse me. I am Kiera Langley."

The lady at desk had curly brown hair, she didn't even look up she just gestured to the chairs. I sat down. It was really awkward because there was nothing to do. I noticed a little glass frog on the curly haired lady's desk.

Glass frog.... Dad.

My heart started pounding and my body begged me to cry. I used to collect little glass animals with my dad. Our favorite one was a frog, we named him Timmy. I bit my lip and shut my eyes tight. I think the curly haired lady noticed my sudden change in mood and asked what's wrong. I simply said nothing. She looked confused but went back to her work.

About ten awkward minutes later, the vice principle came into the room with a sad expression on her face. My heart skipped a beat. What happened.

" Ms. Langley?"

"Yes, Mrs. Crib"

"Follow me dear." Her voice cracked a bit.

Oh no, you know something's up when someone calls you dear and their voice cracks. She turned away and I followed her into her private office.

"Ms.Langley, I have some bad news....."

No. No what could it be. God no, not something else. Please not something else. My throat instantly started forming a lump, and my heart started to race.

"It's your mother...."

My heart sunk into my chest and I stopped breathing.
