The Girl In The Mirror

Before Things Changed

I always thought things would stay the same like how it always has. In my eyes, my life was perfect! But I went and messed it up with that one little mistake.... well before we mention the "incident" how about we start from the beginning. First off, My name is Allyson Miller, and this is how one mistake changed my life forever.
To start, I woke up with a huge headache. I didn't mind so I started going on about my day. I put on a red hoodie, some ripped jeans, and my red converse. I thought I looked good so I grabbed my backpack and started walking to school. As I walked out the door my mom called out to me "That's the fifth morning you haven't eaten Ally!"
I reassured her I would be fine, no matter how pushy my mom may be, I know she cares and worries about me a lot. I wish she wouldn't though, I do well on my own too. But no matter how much I tell her to not worry. I guess it's just her being my mom, I love her. After talking to my mom, I finally cave in, grab a orange and start walking to school.
When I finally make it to Northwest High School, my best friend Mia walks up to me, and we start talking on the way to first period.
Mia: So.... how are things going at home?
Ally: Better, with dad gone it's kinda quiet now but I manage.
Mia: Well, you've seemed more stressed lately so I thought I'd ask.
Ally: Oh I've been great bro! Don't worry bout me. Either way, I know he's not hurting anymore so I'll be okay.
Okay so our conversation may seem kinda weird, anyway just to sum things up, about a month ago, my dad passed away because of Stage Four Colon Cancer. Me and my mom were devastated yes, but he isn't hurting anymore. I may be sad, but he's in a better place now.
Mia: You know what, all this stress is making me tired, what do you say we got out tonight? Me, You, Cameron, Kaitlyn, and Luke. We haven't done that if forever!
Ally: I think that be a wonderful idea! Just text me when and-
Then the bell rang, knowing we had one of the meanest teachers for first period, are conversation was cut short as we ran down the hallway to try and make it before the door shut.
*Time Skip*
It was 7:30 PM. I told my mom I was heading out and she told me to be back by 11 which I was okay with. I waited in the Driveway for Mia to come pick me up soon since my car broke down a week ago. As she pulls into the driveway and honks the horn a couple times, I get in her car, and we head over to Luke's condo! We finally arrived and we got out and I look over at the beach. That's one of the things I love about living in Florida, the beach was always so beautiful at night when the moon was shining over the still water. It was so nice and calm. We went inside and hung out! It was really fun! Then we had a couple drinks, at least I did, don't know about my friends though. But it was a good nice. Something I think I needed for a while after my dad passed. Then when everyone started watching a movie, I went outside and sat by the ocean. I loved it so much. But then something felt off. First I started feeling nauseous, but I didn't think much of it. Then I kept feeling off... I felt like someone was watching me! So I looked around and called out for my friends. No response. I call again, still, No response! Maybe I was imagining things... maybe it was just nothing. So I ignore my gut, and put in my earbuds. I look down at my phone, 11:23. I've gotten messages from my mom, so I go look at those.
Mom: WHERE ARE YOU?! I SAID TO BE HOME AT 11!!
I roll my eyes to the message and respond
Ally: Okay I'm sorry, look I'll be home soon.
Okay so now on top of the paranormal vibes I'm getting, now my mom is worried about me again. I'll just see if I can spend the night, she won't mind...I think.
Ally:Do you mind if I just, stay the night? I'll be home tomorrow.
Mom:Okay but you need to let me know instead of not talking period!
So I got that I had that out of the way, I just sat there for a bit longer. Then I really heard something! And I looked around, called out names, then got up and started heading to the condo. As I walked back, someone had hit me in the head and dragged me back to the condo. Then once I woke up, so much happened, and my life changed forever...
