It's never easy waking up on the last day of summer. School starts tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'm ready to become invisible again. That last week of school 3 months ago was the worst week of my life. Everyone kept staring at me as if I was going to break any second and I didn't even know what for until my mom told me. All I remeber that year is riding in the car with my dad heading to the ice cream shop. Out of nowhere big headlights from a semi truck come barrelling towards us and then......nothing. I don't recall anything from that year and the accident. Sometimes I have these flashbacks that take me there but its never enough to fully remember what happened and I try so hard to remeber but I just.....can't. I have these thoughts that run through my head all the time thinking, maybe I don't want to remeber that horrid day.
I slowly open my eyes to the bright sun shining through my window curtains. I look over at my alarm clock reading 11:19. I hear poeple downstairs bustling about. Moms probably geting ready for work, My aunt running a few errands, and Austin getting ready to see some buddies.
Hearing a knock at my door, I turn my head to see my mom walking in.
" Oh good you are awake. I'm heading off to work honey. Make sure you take your medicine and try to go out and get some fresh air . The doctor said--"
I rolled my eyes at my mom. We sometimes go through this every moring. Her constantly bugging me about getting out and me pretending like I will. " I know mom. The doctor said it would be good for me. You've said this a million times." I replied
" I know hon, but you know I just worry about you sometimes." she replied.
"Mom I get it but you don't have to. I am perfectly fine." Sometimes I worry about my mom because, she worries to much about me.
After finding out about the accident, my mother lost everything the house, the money, the car. It left her broken. Lucky my Aunt Rachel took us in and let my mom and I stay with her until she gets back on her feet. My aunts home is actually quite big. Living in Destin, Florida all the house are big. I never understood why my aunt lived in a 5 bedroom house with only her and her son, my cousin, Austin. She always told me the bigger the better but, I'm not complaining. They are both helping me get through things and I'm just glad
"Alright honey, if you say so. I gonna head out to work. Make sure you call me if anythings wrong. I love you Abigail." she replied.
" I love you to mom."
Getting up from bed I head to the bathroom taking a quick shower and then getting dressed. My outfit consisted of dark blue skinny jeans, a red flannel unbuttoned, my black converse, and a black beanie. Walking back into the bathroom I take out my medication, taking some and headng to the kitchen.
As I'm heading to the kitchen I run into my cousin Austin. Saying hi, I start to head downstairs. Austin is my 18 year old cousin. Austin and I used to play together all summer when we were kids but, we don't really hang out much anymore.
I go to the cabinets in the kitchen in search of a granola bar. After finally finding one , I start to head outside making sure I tell my aunt I'm going to the park.
"Aunt Rachel, I'm going to the park. Maybe my mom is right. I do need fresh air." I say
"That's good Abigail. Be safe and I'll see you in a little while." she replied.
Walking out the door, I look outside. The sun is shining in my face and there is a small breeze blowing. It's comforting. I start to walk down the sidewalk towards the park, plugging in my earphones. I start to search for a song when all of a sudden, I get pushed to the ground.
"Ow!" I yell out. I look up and I'm met with a set of deep blue eyes.
" Watch where your going next time!" he yells harshly. He turns around and starts to jog off. I mean who does he think he is. Maybe next time he should look where he's going. He's the one who ran into me after all.
I get up and brush off the dirt on my jeans. I decide on the song choice and start to head to the park. When I see the park In my view, I run towards the swings. The swings were always my favorite thing about the park. I sit down on the swing and listen to the music that's playing. I think about all that's happened to me in the past 3 months. I want to forget and just start over sometimes. I start my senior year tomorrow. I won't know anybody and they won't know me, well except for Austin. I can become someone this year without people giving me looks like I'm some broken record still playing. I can start over from being invisible. But, am I ready to put the past behind me?
