Love Me

I laid on my bed staring at my plain white ceiling while hugging my pillow and sobbing softly. How could she? How could she just leave? She didn't even say goodbye... I knew she had her problems. I knew she was trying to fix it. But-she left. Leaving no clue of where she was going... I heard gentle knocks on my locked door-a person begging to be let in-but I couldn't...I couldn't get the door. I couldn't even trust myself to stand. I felt so empty. I felt as if everything was spinning. Like a puzzle with different pieces. It just wouldn't fit. That night I gained the courage to open my bedroom door after a few more knocks. There in front of me was my older brother, Chase. One look at me and I was pulled into a tightening hug. 'It'll be okay Melissa. Everything will be fine.' He told me. I trusted him. So I believed what he told me at my young age of 10. He may have only been 12 but he was still my older brother. My dad appeared from behind him and pulled us both into one big hug. Maybe everything would be okay...maybe just maybe some miracle would happen. Maybe that miracle will take away all the pain...
