A Whole New Life; Book 2: Alone

Chapter 11

Aqua's POV

On the way home, we all stayed silent. That is until Josh decided to break the silence.

"So how long have you been... you know... cutting yourself?" Josh asks.

"For about five years. Ever since I was in the orphanage, I just wanted to die. And with each cut, I was slowly dieing," I said. Jen and Josh look at each other with worried glances.

When we got home, I just went upstairs and changed into a pair of black shorts and a hot pink tank top. I took out the bottle of pills out of my bag and examined it. Great. Just what I need. Now I need to take medication to keep myself from being sad? Yeah, fat chance. I put the bottle down and start to clean the damage I did to my room. I pointed my hand at the books and imagined using my mind to pick them up. Within seconds, the books lifted off the ground. I directed the books with my hand and stacked them on my desk. I repeated the same process my the movies that have been scattered on the ground. I used the process to pick up the pieces of mirror and fit them together like a puzzle and used a little bit of heat from my fire elemental power to mould them together. I then used my water elemental power to freeze over the mirror and melted it to reveal not one crack left in the mirror. It's like it never broke. My diversity is really hard to explain. Then I put my swivel chair back in front of my desk. After I cleaned my room, I painted the last wall. I tried to paint the wall with things Cameron and I did before he left. From watching movies to him carrying me over his shoulder to giving me the death stare for putting Jessie on the T.V. He looks cute when he gives the death stare. I can't wait to see him again.

"Aqua, dinner will be ready in five minutes," Jen called from downstairs.

"Got it," I called back. I took the braid out of my hair and let my wavy hair fall down to my waist. I hooked up my laptop to my stereo speaker and turned the volume half way so it's loud but not so loud that I can't hear Jen or Josh calling me downstairs. I had it on shuffle and just let whatever song play. Suddenly, A Thousand Years by Christina Perry came on. It reminds me of Cameron so much. I've been feeling an empty space my whole life. The I meet Cameron and everything's okay. It's like I was waiting for Cameron to come into my life. And now I have to wait for him again. During the song, I started to cry. I just reminds me of how much I miss Cameron. Then I got an Idea. I have a few pictures of me and Cameron I uploaded from my iPhone onto my laptop. And I know how to put together a slide show. So maybe I can put those pictures together and add the song and I'll show it to Cameron as a welcome home present. I'm sure he'll love it.

"Aqua, dinner's ready," Josh called.

"Coming," I called back. When I finish eating, I have to plan out my slide show and then take my medication and then go to bed. Hopefully the medication helps with my nightmares.
