Experienced

chapter 1

I wish it was the easier times,when life was made of cotton candy and time was never limited. We could do anything our minds thought of and words we're never lies.

I look back at times when I was young,young meaning 5 years and stuff. That was a time when my family was all happy and cheerful but to think that a smile turned to tears all because of words,actions and uncontrollable pain.

All of that is now gone,gone with my mother and father,gone with my 4 sisters and my 4 older brothers. Now I'm all alone left with people I can no longer call a family,people who used to be my protectors until now. All is revealed and my life will never be the same again but I think I've grieved too long,now I'm going to live my life with my rules.

[Past]

"Brett,Bredon,Chase,Quinton,Zeke,Abbi,Adisson,Allison,Bear and Ouria,hurry downstairs there is an important announcement!" We all ran downstairs excited for the new day. Our parents came up with 'Morning Announcement' where we would listen for the day plans and important decisions our parent had made but today everything was different and I knew that when dad asked me to move into the sitting room and wait for the others there. It was really weird,I was always included for the announcements even when it's about really weird things,everyone was always included,always.

I check my watch and it reads 11:30. The announcements never take more than 10 minutes and it's already been 30,I walk closer to the kitchen's sliding glass door and luckily it was still open. I crawl behind the kitchen counter and I hear my sisters crying. "Mom what happened to family sticks together?" Alison asks weeping. What could they be talking about? After a few quarrelling of nothing I hear my father sigh,"Children this has nothing to do with you,your mother and I are getting a divorce and that is final!" He states loud. My world had never felt so shaky,it was as if an earthquake had shaken my world and half of it had already been crumbled to dust.

I crawl back out the glass door and into the dining room. After 5 minuted everyone starts heading out the kitchen door. "Ouria,come out we're getting late for school,"Zeke calls out to me. I hurry out of the house and into the back seat,the silence in the car was deafening.

[Present]
"

Ouria wake up,it's time to get ready for school,"Zeke whispers into my ear. I smile a strained smile,I've never been so happy to hear his voice in my life. After the divorce I lost everything,I open my eyes and go into the washroom. I take off my clothes and a tear escapes my eye. "Hurry!"he warns me knocking on the door. I quickly jump covering my body shocked. I shrug,get in the shower and turn the faucet on,water runs down my body stinging and cleaning away the cuts. I stand for about 10 minutes staring off into space with no emotion until I hear footsteps. I run out of the shower leaving the water running. I look for some clothes in the closet and take out running tights and a tank top,I look for my slops and slide them on before turning off the faucet. I walk towards the door and open it,Zeke is sitting on his bed. "Hey,"He says looking up,I try my best to smile. He smiles back at me his dimples glowing and his grey-blue eyes displaying the love he has for me. Zeke and I still live with our father because mother wasn't financially stable when she left for South Africa (the consequences of being a housewife and signing a very strict prenuptial contract). I go to his bed and sit across him,we stare in silence but it's not awkward silence we're both just swimming in our own thoughts. After a while he breaks the peacefulness when he notices a tear rolling down his cheek. "Um...Would you like to go out for a quick lunch before school?"He asks sounding uncomfortable. I shake my head knowing that Schmoopi will be here anytime soon to fetch me,he stands up walking towards the bedroom door and I follow him out. Downstairs he walks across the lounge before stopping,he looks back at me with the are-you-sure-you-want-to-stay eyes and I nod 3 times before I wave him off.
