Chapter One Part II

I wish I could say I grieved for my mother. But I didn't, I couldn't bring myself to bare any feelings; I was numb. The shooting pain in my heart was the only thing that reminded me I was still human. My eyes remained dry for the rest of the week as I sat in my apartment only moving when I had to eat or use the bathroom. Thoughts of my empty, hollow life flashed through my mind as I considered what I was doing with my life.

The phone ringing on Thursday was what brought me out of my pathetic state. Dragging myself to the phone I picked it up, I knew it was the wrong number but I was expecting something. Maybe I was expecting someone to actually be worried for me, even if it was a stranger.

"Hello?" my meek, emotionless voice shocked me. Was that me? Was my life so empty that I sound like the dead? Without warning I felt something, I felt the urge to cry. I need someone to save me; to save me from myself.

"Ms. DeFranco?" a stoic, female voice asked. My attention was immediately drawn to the phone. Did the government finally find my family member? Or did they decided I'll better off be at a home? Confusion washed through my body as I thought of all the possibilities.

"Yes?" keeping my answers short I wanted the anticipation of what the mysterious women will say.

"Hello, this is Deborah Wills. I'm calling from the government. We have been informed that you haven't been attending a school for the last week; and I'm just making sure you are aware that if you don't start going to school by Monday we will be forced to put you in a home. I will be checking up on you by Monday, please make sure you have made arrangements as soon as possible. Have a good day." my body remained rigid as I stood there holding the phone to my ear long after Ms. Wills had hung up. I hadn't even grieved for my mother and I was already being thrown back into the world. I waited for the salty tears to run down my face, but I was met with nothing. Opening my mouth slightly I released a hopeless, emotionless chuckle. I was frozen, inside out.

To say that I spent all of Saturday registering for the closest high school would be an understatement. Not only did I have to look for a school, I also had to go shopping for everything I would need. A year ago I would have said I was doing better than most; I had a mother, even though she was absent most of the time, I wasn't alone. But now, now I'm just living day by day; struggling to see what's really happening in my life. I was stuck between the feeling of emptiness and depressing, to be honest I felt everything but happiness.

By the time Monday rolled around I found myself rushing to my car five minutes late for school. Washington High School had officially gained one more student, and unfortunately for them it was me.

Arriving to my new school I pulled up to the parking lot earning a lot of glances from my fellow classmates. Yes, this is what I wanted; attention. Rolling my eyes I stepped out of my baby and looked around for the closest door ignoring the whispers and stares.

By the time third hour rolled around everyone in this school was annoying the hell out of me. No one beside the teachers attempted to talk to me, no they were the silent, staring type. Actually the word silent isn't the right word for them, I could hear them whispering about the mysterious new girl. Mysterious I don't think so; just a pissed off teenager. Hoping out of my seat I hunted for my fourth hour. Sighing in relieve I found my next class not to far away, going to grab the door my hands connected with someone's hands. And for the fist time in a long time I felt something. I felt alive. My eyes slowly followed the length of the tan arm, it was perfect. Finally making connect with his electric blue eyes I froze, my world felt like it was complete. In that moment I relieved I was in love with this person. My allusion was broken as the once loving look in his eyes turned into disgust. And just like that my world come to crushing halt.
