Memories

Chapter 2 - Kayla

"Congratulations," Kayla heard on the day of her graduation.

She had passed and got three different scholarships, exceeding in all of her classes and getting some of the highest marks. Her parents were there, and her grandparents. It was a sunny day, so the ceremonies were held outside.

"Kayla," Amber said, walking over to her.

"Yes?" Kayla said, holding her boyfriend's hand.

"I want a final group picture," Amber said, pulling on Kayla's arm.

There was Maria and her boyfriend Justin, Amber and her boyfriend Simon, and then Kayla and Gordon. Bell and a few other parents took the final picture of the group. Maria was going to be moving away to England to go to College, and Amber was going to say in town with Kayla.

"See you all in ten!" Everyone said as they separated from the final day of school.

"So, what are you going to do now?" her mother asked Kayla.

"I am planning on waiting till the end of summer, and then go to college, get a degree in something, and then that is as far as I got." Kayla said.

"At least you have some kind of plans," her father said, taking off the waistcoat.

Kayla walked into her room, removed her necklace, and looked at herself in the mirror. She then walked down the hallway and went into the bathroom. She took a face cloth and started to wash off all of the makeup. She looked back at the mirror; a tear ran down her face as she looked at her self. She put her hair down, and combed it out.

She looked at her left forearm, and ran her middle finger across the scar. 'I am so depressed right now, I miss my sisters.' Kayla looked at herself in the mirror and then sighed. 'Tonight was suppose to be one of the best nights of my night.'

"Is everything alright Kayla?" her mother asked, concerned after her attempts of suicide.

Kayla refused to go see a doctor to talk, so instead, everything from her childhood was bottled up, and she never spoke to any one about her two sisters. 'I guess I could try again.'

"Everything is fine." Kayla said, looking in the medical cupboard.

She reached for the aspirin. 'Perfect.' Kayla took the bottle and went into her room. "I am going to get changed and then go to Carnival."

"Alright." Bell said, a bit worried.

Kayla quickly took off her dress and then put her blue jeans and a red sweater on. She shoved the bottle of aspirin into her purse, removing the odd thing to make it look all right.

"I am going now!" Kayla called, grabbing her car keys.

She left the house with out her parents knowing about her last attempt. She drove along the road, looking at all of the people who were happy and carefree. 'How can they be like this? There is so much to worry about now a days. What is the point to living?'

When she reached the school, Kayla got out of her Malibu, and looked the doors. Her purse was at her side, and she walked quickly into the school, almost ashamed.

She looked around the gymnasium, everyone was so happy, smiling, and having fun. 'Lucky people.'

"Hey Kayla." A familiar voice said to her.

"Lindsey? I thought that you transferred!" Kayla said, walking over to her friend.

"I did, only I came here with Rick. I have missed you, how have you been?" Lindsey asked, smiling.

"I have been great. What about you?" Kayla said, lying.

"I have been doing ok," she said as they walked around the area.
