Self Destruction Is Such A Pretty Little Thing

Chapter 1

"Did You have a good birthday meal hunny?"

"Yes Mummy it was amazing, Thank you so much" I said with a smile *Cough Cough* My dad turned to look at me for a quick second.

"Oh and you to Daddy" He turned back to look at the road, whilst laughing along with my mum and I gave a little giggle.

"Mummy, Daddy"

"Yes hunny" My mum turned to look at me.

"You are the best parents in the world, I couldnt ask for anyone better. I love you both sooooo much!" I said while cuddling my teddy bear.

"I love you two Annabelle" My mum said

"And I love you aswell Annabelle" My dad said, whilst looking at me through the mirror. I grinned. That grin soon went when I stared out of the front window.

"DADDY LOOK OUT!" I screamed. A car was heading straight for us and before my dad could turn it crashed into ours, making us do flips down a hill. All I could hear was my screams, my dads screams and my mothers screams. Not long after the car stopped, I didnt hear a thing from my mum.

"Mummy?" No reply

"Daddy?" No reply. A few minutes later the police had arrived, and ambulanced had arrived and My aunty was there, as she was behind us the whole time. I was pulled out of the car and placed on a gurney. My aunty was right by my side with tears streaming down her eyes.

"Oh annabelle" She spoke whilst holding my hand.

"Wheres my mummy and daddy?" I asked, tears where streaming by now. She just gave me look that said 'Im so sorry'. Not long after a policemen came to my side.

"Annabelle, how old are you?"

"Im 9 years old sir"

"You are very lucky, you only have a broken arm, which is shocking, but reliving at the same time"

"Wheres my mummy and daddy?" I questionned again

"Annabelle im very sorry, but they didn't survive the crash" My eyes grew bigger and I screamed, tears flowed out of my eyes like a waterfall, I looked to my left and saw the lifeless body of my mother being put into an ambulance, and the same with my dad on the right side of me.

"Annabelle, Annabelle wake up" I shot up, sweat running down my forehead.I turned to see my best friend Jessica kneeling beside my bed with her hand on my shoulder. "Oh Annabelle, are you ok". By now I was in tears.

"Y-yeah I j-just h-h-ad another d-dream...Jessica I miss them so much" She told me to budge up, I did and she got into the bed. She pulled the covers over our laps and just held me whilst I cried. It had been 10 years since I lost my parents, 10 years since my birthday got completely ruined. 10 years since I survived....and they didint. I still have the teddy bear, it sits on my desk, everytime I hold it, I feel close to them, I feel close to my parents. Ever since then I lived with my aunty, she did a good job of raising me, she knew I would have a hard time but she helpped me. By the time I was 16, me and Jessica got an apartement together. It is what we planned to do since we was kids.

After about 20 minutes of tears, Jessica finally spoke.

"Belle" That was her little nickname for me. "I want you to go get a shower, Im gonna make you breakfast, and I have something that will make you feel better." I gave a small smile and nodded. She smiled back and walked out of my room and downstairs.

I stepped out of my room and grabbed a towel from the cupboard that seperated mine and Jessica's room, went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I slowly stepped out of my pajama shorts and pulled my white vest top over my head before stepping into the shower. whilst washing my arms I couldn't helpbut look at my scars and let tears fall. I had been self harming since I was 14 years old and haven't stopped since. Jessica tries to help me stop but I just can't seem to.

After about an hour I made my way downstairs, dressed, hair done, make up on and ready for the day ahead of me. Jessica was already munching on her pancakes and I joined her,

"So what suppose to make me feel better then?" I asked. This should be good..Note the sarcasim

"Oh yeah"She dropped her fork and shoved a piece of pancake in her mouth before reaching for an envolope and handing it to me

"Whats this?" I asked whilst giving her a confused look.

"Just open it idiot" A wilde grin spread across her face as I began to open the envolope. When I reached inside I pulled out two tickets.

"What is this for?"

"Read it then you will find out" I shrugged and read the ticket.

"Oh, asking alexandria" I said in a boring tone whilst placing the tickets back into the envolope and placing it across from me. Then reality hit me. I snatched the envolope back, pulled out the tickets and screamed with happiness, Jessica sooned joined in.

"Oh my god Jessica, Thank you so much!" I hugged her so tightly. Any tighter and I think she would bust.

"Anything for my beautiful best friend...Hehe Sam Bettley You will be mine" She said whilst rubbing her hands together

"You creep" We just stared at eachother for a few seconds before laughter filled the room.
