my story chapter 21

Rebecca

I fell flat on the ground. Pain pounded through my body. I got up immediately and rushed into the forest, I didn’t want anyone to see me like this. I ran as fast as I could, colliding into sticks and branches tripping, dirtying my converses. My body was aching, my tears were freezing. I collapsed in the middle of no where, and curled up into a ball. I cried until every tear was gone, than I just sat there, motionless, my mouth hanging open, my cheeks sticky. I took out my phone and checked the message one more time. “Dear miss, Rebecca, until further notices, your parents have been in a car accident, they are hurt very badly and might not make it.” I closed my phone and threw it as far as it can go. I lid flat on my back and stared at the sky.

The shadows of eagles were passing by, the tree’s whistle gently echoing through the forest. The flowers move slowly, dancing with the wind. The gentile breeze flutters against my skin. I feel all the wonders leaving my skin as my body began to fade away. I started to relax a little, my brain was blank. The words couldn’t form out of my mouth. I knew exactly where to go. Pulling myself together I began to stand up and start walking. The trees were a great support as the butterflies guided me through the forest. I met a familiar bush and went through it. I could hear water flowing and birds chirping. I sat down on a rock beside the waterfall and began to think. What if mom and dad died? Where would my brother and I go? I picked up a pebble and threw it.

 The waterfall echoed in the distance as I stood up once more. I started to climb the hill and stared into the sky. I was never this high up before. I was halfway up the waterfall and didn’t want to go any further. I took in a deep breath and looked down. I couldn’t open my mind to anything, all I could do was just stare as if nothing was happening. I closed my eyes and felt the breeze blow my worries away. I sat down unable to balance myself and I was alone once more.

I started to sing a sad song, it made me feel better. I stared into the sky and daydreamed. I thought about Owen, and Jack, I thought about Matt and Luke moving away. I couldn’t bear loose them too, they were my only mistake, I couldn’t stand it, I hated the feeling of being deserted. What about Emily, she is leaving soon. When your 16 you get to move out. That was great. Maybe Tyler would move in with us and help us. Tyler has been my best friend since like forever, he would do anything, would he?
