Alone

Chapter 3

I didn't bother going to school, I felt bad for not going but I needed a break for the day. I sat on my bed and hopped on facebook. I wondered why bothering with it when I have zero friends on there. I guess I can say its my way of keeping track of the things people say about me. Scrolling through the news feed, I found a load of pictures. In those photos were.....me, it was from yesterday at lunch. Multiple people posted, hundreds of comments. Those things they said were beyond terrible and rather not repeat them at the moment. I slammed the laptop lid down, trying to hold the tears back. What did I ever do to deserve this? Why me? For all the things I've been through, why did they pick me as their fun and games? I have so much more in this life, but I don't know what to do anymore. Maybe homeschooling? Well that is a good idea, but considering that it gives those idiots more chances to say crap about me. I went over to my keyboard, been playing for quite some time now and used to take lessons but couldn't afford it anymore. I could play for hours, zoning out of the world. Letting all my thoughts go as I touched those black and white keys, I felt at peace with myself. Knowing I was good at something, just wish those people would know that. All these memories poured into my head, mostly that night my parents died. It was just like any other night, we were coming home from the movies. It happened so quickly, I was younger at the time but that didn't matter; it always stay with me. I was in the back seat, receiving only a few injuries, Dad hit his head on the steering wheel and Mom ended up going through the window, dying instantly. Dad died a few hours later in the ER at the hospital due to severe bleeding in his head; never in my life have I seen so much blood . I remember crawling my way out and going over to Mom as the snow fell, telling her to wake up, but she never did. I layed down on her, holding onto her jacket crying. The fire department and police came rushing to the scene, the man who hit us lost control of his car due to black ice on the road and let alone had a bit much to drink. He was careless, I watched him. He stayed shaking in his car, hands firmly still on the steering wheel. The cop pulled him out and suddenly the man went crazy. Yelling in the cop's face, saying it wasn't even his fault, his words slurred. They had already got Dad in the ambulance. Once they knew I was there, I was carried over to him. He didn't have his eyes open, but he sensed that I was there, he lifted his bloody hand and touched my face. He gave a little smile and I gave him one last hug. I was taken out and put in another ambulance. My grandparents came to the hospital immediately, gramps was always a tough guy, never seeing him cry that much. Later on in life my grandparents finally told me that the man was sent to court and was sentenced to life in prison, for reckless/driving under the influence and double homicide. I hope he rots in prison for his careless act and taking innocent lives. I shooked my head while playing the piano to stopped those images from appearing in my mind. I feel as though they take over me sometimes. I stopped playing, having enough for the day and went downstairs for something to eat. Searching the fridge they're wasn't much, guessing that's where grandma went to because she wasn't around and gramps was again sleeping. So I took what I could find and went back upstairs. My cat hearing the chip bag open came running in my room and jumping up right next to me, rubbing up against my arm.

"Least I know you'll never hate me," I said giving him a couple chip crumbs.

I watched him eat the chips and purring at the same time, he was my true friend. Then I thought about Sage, I got back on the computer with spooky next me. I looked her up on facebook and she was in the top search. Before adding her as a friend, I looked around on her profile. Having close to thousand friends and wondered how that was even possible. I decided to finally add her and wait for the request to be accepted.

A couple hours later, she accepted. That made me feel a little better, she then chatted me.

"Hey where were you today?"

"I just needed a break."

"Oh, well I don't blame ya, I hope your okay after what happened in lunch."

"Not exactly, but I have a question for you."

"Ask away my dear!"

"Yesterday after I ran out of the bathroom, I went to the guidence office and I have to eat lunch in there from now on and was wondering if you wanna join?"

"Uh ummm yeah sure."

"Thanks that'll mean a lot to me."

"No prob. well I gotta go okay, hope to see you on Monday."

"Yes, I will probably be there. talk to you later."

She signed off and later after spying on her profile again, I did the same. What was I supposed to do all weekend, I'm sure she has plans. Everyone gets to go out and have fun, most of the time I'm usually stuck playing scrabble with grandparents. I love them dearly, but enough scrabble for once! I got to thinking and hope Sage actually likes me, not just playing some kind of cruel game.
