Heartbeat // Michael Clifford (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

I was sitting in the car right next to my mum who was driving. It was dark outside and the road was wet. All around us were trees. It was raining like cats and dogs outside. It was scary.  We were driving home from my grandparents house. We were listening  to Ed Sheeran – Give me love. My mum and I sang along with it. She had a beautiful voice and overall she was beautiful. Her long blond curls and blue eyes full of joy and happiness. Her passion was singing. Music was a part of my family since like forever. My mum was a singer but she was not famous. She played piano and acustic guitar..and so was I.  

..Give a little time to me or burn this out,

We'll play hide and seek to turn this around,..

"I hope you never stop singing." She said to me. "You have a beautiful voice." She smiled. "Just like my beautiful mom." I giggled back.  

…My, my, my, my, oh give me love,

My, my, my, my, oh give me love,

My, my, my, my, give me love,…

"Rebeca, honey?" She whispered to me. I turned my head towards her. "Yes?" I smiled to her.

…Give me love like never before,

'Cause lately I've been craving more,

And it's been a while but I still feel the same,

Maybe I should let you go,..

"Promise me something." She whispered whit half smile on her lips.  

…You know I'll fight my corner,..

"What?" I asked her with curiosity.

…And that tonight I'll call ya,…

 "Promise me that when you get older you will do what makes you happy. That you will always follow your dreams and your heart."

…After my blood is drowning in alcohol,…

I looked at her and when I wanted to reply I was blinded by strong light that came from a truck that was driving towards us. I looked to my mum. I was so scared. She looked back at me with those blue eyes. Her face didn't show any emotions…

"Rebeca?"

…No, I just wanna hold ya…

Then everything became dark.

I opened my eyes. I was all sweaty and I was breathing hard. I was dreaming again about my mom. It was a year since the accident and her death. I stood up and turned on the light. I looked at the clock on my phone and realized it was 4 a.m. My face was wet from all the tears, so I went to the bathroom to wash them off.

This place felt so strange to me. When my mom died there was only me and my dad left. I survived the accident and only broke my wrist. The man who caused the accident got paralyzed from the waist down, and there was another boy with him in the truck that day and he died as well. I've never met the guy or his family and to be honest I don't even want to.

My dad was really sad. So now after one year he decided it's time for us to move. He tought we need to move on and try to be as positive as possible, because that's what mom would want us to do. And he also got a job in a very successful company. So two days ago me and my dad moved from Canada, US all the way across the sea to Sydney, Australia. This was a big change and I wasn't up for it but I couldn't watch my dad being sad and so I decided to support his decision and so we moved.

When I wanted to go back to sleep I heard a knock on my door. I opened them and saw my dad. He looked really tired. He has brown eyes and dark brown hair. He was wearing his pj's. "Rebeca are you all right?" he asked. "I heard you were crying." I didn't say anything. I looked in his eyes and hugged him. "I dreamed about the accident again." I cried in his shoulder. "Shhh." He hugged me back and tried to calm me down.

"I just don't now if I can handle all of this." I said to him when we both sat on my bed. "I know that is hard for you sweety. Everything about mom and now the new place, school and stuff.." He said. "I'm trying my best to make you happy." "I know daddy." I smiled to him and tapped his shoulder. "Speaking about school…tomorrow is your first day." He smiled. "Yeah I know…I just don't know If I'll fit in or even make any friends and stuff…" I mumbled. "I'm sure everything will be fine." "You are a wonderfoul girl and I'm so proud of you…and I know your mom as well." He smiled to me. I smiled back and hugged him. "Well get some sleep, tomorrow is a big day." He said when he stood up from my bed. "I know, Good night daddy." I said. "Good night Rebeca." He whispered and closed the door behind him.
