When I got the call, I didn't know what to think. My mom and dad had been in a car crash. No matter how much the police officer talked to me on the phone, I heard nothing else but, "You're parents have passed, Raven. They were in a really bad crash on highway....." I trailed off from then and kept hearing the phrase over and over.
Now it's just me and my brother who I never see anymore. He's older than me and went off to community college. I haven't seen him in years. Maybe it was time for them to go. I don't see a reason why it was but, I do see the reason why it is. It was my fault. I was the one who fought with them before they left home. It's my fault they were too emotional and crashed. Dammit, it's all my fault.I have their blood on my hands. I have to live knowing I was the reason my parents died.
Now Claire Smith has something else to bully me about. Claire is the Regina George of my life. She has her backup. She has her on and off boyfriend. She has everything she desires. The only thing she doesn't have is my blood on her hands.Last year, five girls tried to commit suicide with two succeeding; all because of Claire. That was when people started noticing her power.
It's the end of summer and I'm packing my stuff from my aunt's house where I have been staying since my parents died two and a half years ago. I was 16 and I remember being on the phone with my best friend, Allison. She applied for the same college as me, never telling me if she got in. That sneaky girl.
That was the past and the future is now. I need to continue with life without having the same moments and memories play in my head every second of every day. Maybe college won't be such a pain. I'll make a new life for myself and maybe even find the one.
But life isn't a fantasy, is it? There is no such thing as Happily Ever After, there's only The End. Who knows? Maybe I'm just another girl in a tower waiting for a random dude to painfully climb up my long-ass hair. My happily ever after is another fantasy I put away in a safe in my mind. Never to be opened again. No one can open the vault of hopes and dreams.
Ever.
