Music of the Heart

Chapter 1

 I took a deep breath as the music began and pranced around the stage.

Time to do this....

As I spun around in a circle the crowd was blurry as I twisted it began to get hot. I stopped and put my hand to my heart and ran off stage to find my water. As I ran off stage there was booing and not very nice comments but I ignored them. 

I dashed in the locker room and dug through my bag

"Water? Water? Water? Where are you??" I mumbled to myself while going through my bag to find my water.

In the process of going in my bag I heard giggling behind me. I looked back and saw Lori and her friends standing beside her in the doorway. Lori has the most corrupt smirk on her face shaking her head. 

"What are you looking for Val?" She says after putting a smile on her face "M-My water!" I say shaking and I can feel myself getting  hotter by the minute. "Are you talking about this?" She lifts up my water bottle and opens the cap and takes a sip then pours it out on the floor. 

I run to get the water out of Lori's hand, but she squeezes the rest out.

OH NO!

My face becomes dismayed "Why would you do that?" I say on the brink of tears. I run back to my bag to look for my medicine. Then I hear a smack on the locker next to me and I look over and there's my medicine lying on the ground... empty. 

"NO!" I scream. My head begins pounding and my body feels like it's sizzling. 

I put my hands to my heart

It's beating so fast

I can't stop it

I hear their laughing but it's faint. I lie on the ground and try to breathe. Then I look up and Lori and her friends are standing there with petrified looks on their faces. 

"I-I didn't mean to Val i-it was all a mistake" Lori said looking fearful.

The next thing I know is I'm being picked up and rushed through doors by a man. I can't really see his face. 

I get put in the back seat of a car and it moves urgently. 

Later my vision gets darker and darker...

UGH I hate taking Digoxin. I just wish I was normal! Like why me? Why not someone else besides me??

Sometimes I wonder why I was created to be this way?

Why can't I be like my cat? She seems to have a pretty simple life. She just does normal things a cat is supposed to do.

I put the medicine bottle down on the dresser and put the liquid in a single dose-measuring cup and put it in my mouth and gulp it down with water. I have to do this every day at the same time at 3:34pm. 

Why?

Because if I don't then I'll just have to take it as soon as I remember. 

My phone begins to ring and I look on the screen at the Caller ID. It's my mommy "Hi mom" I say with a smile "Hi Val what are you up to?" "Nothing just got finished taking my medicine" I walk my way towards the bathroom.

"Oh well me and your dad are going on a date tonight and we need you to keep Sal for today, we'll pay you" I can tell she's smiling. "Ok and you don't have to I'll watch him for free"

Sal is my mom's dog. Dad bought it for her for their anniversary. They went to France for a whole week. 

They couldn't go because of my little brother Alex. He was 11

He died 2 years ago by getting hit by a car. We were devastated. He always put the fun in everything with his active behavior. 

I blame myself for his death because I wasn't watching him well enough. I will always blame myself for that. I will never forgive myself either.

"Thank you Val I owe you one" She adds a little giggle at the end "No problem" I smile "Well, I'll see you when we get home" "Ok mom love you" I grab my face soap "Love you too Val" She hung up

I put my phone on the sink

I grab a washcloth and put the soap in the cloth and put it under the water. I begin to wash my face.

I have always had trouble with acne. It has always been on my cheeks, forehead, chin, and especially my nose. 

I rub the soap on my face and I rub on my cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose. I put the cloth in the water and squeeze it so the water and soap come out. Then I put my hands in the water and gather a hand-full and I splash it on my face. I do that four times and pat my face with a towel.

I walk out the bathroom and put my clothes on. I grab a short gray tambourine dress and white Toms. 

I grab my purse and walk to my bathroom to get my phone and make my way out the door to my house. I turn around and lock the door. 

Then I look for the key for my car and hold it so that I won't lose it. I stop at my car and unlock it and climb in. 

I got my car with the money I saved and some from insurance. Since I'm not able to work I get help from the government. I don't like our government they are foolish to me. I don't need any help from them. I can work if I put my mind to it.

Stupid disease

I turn on the car and back out of my yard and drive down the road. 

I have always wanted to work. My dream job is to be a ballerina. I love dancing.

Speaking of dancing there is a ballet studio in my old neighborhood but it's old. I think they rebuilt it. 

I'm not sure

I might go there sometime...

I pull in my parents yard and the sight that I see is terrible!

Sal has messed up mom's garden, pooped everywhere, pushed the trash can over, and now he's peeing on dad's tools.

Oh Sal what have you done?
