~Chapter 1~
Amanda's POV:
As soon as I got to school, I ran in looking for my best friend, Christian. After a few minutes of running around school with tears streaming down my face, I finally found him with some other guys. I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him.
"What the hell are you doing?" He asked in a harsh voice while pulling my arms away from his torso.
"W-what do you m-mean?" I stuttered and he just glared at me.
"Oh it's you" He said and rolled his eyes
"Chris, what's wrong with you?" I asked him in a low voice.
"I don't want to be friends with you anymore, I've realized what an annoying little brat you are." He said
"W-what?" I stuttered yet again, why is he acting like this?
"You didn't hear me? Well let me make it clearer, we are no longer friends, we never were. I just felt bad when I saw you all alone when we were kids." He said and I just felt my heart break even more.
"But I need you" I muttered and he just glared at me
"Get the hell away from me, I never want to see you again." He said and walked away with his friends.
~~~~~~~~~~
That happened 2 years ago in freshman year, my so called 'best friend' left me when I did nothing wrong. He left me when I needed him the most, he threw our friendship away like it was just a piece of trash, how stupid.
The day he broke off our friendship, was the day I figured out that my parents died. I didn't get to know what they died of, but they were gone. We didn't have a funeral though. I was so broken, I felt so dead inside, and when Christian left me, I felt so alone. I was forced to live with my aunt, good, right? Wrong.
My aunt makes me do everything in the house, she makes me clean, cook, buy the groceries, and even pay for the bills, while she does nothing but sit back and relax. When I don't do what she tells me to, she beats me up. Ever since my parents died, everything went downhill for me.
There is one thing that makes me happy, my little brother and sister. They take all my sadness away, they make me happy. They are twins and are both 8 years old. Their names are Ashton and Ashley. When both of them found out that Mom and Dad died, they were really confused, they were 5 (turning 6) at that time, so they didn't understand much. Though, I told them that they were in a better place, although they weren't coming back. Although the twin are 8 years old, they still depend on me and I don't mind at all.
I'm currently walking to the twins' babysitter's house to drop them off because I'm going to school, this is a normal routine for us because I don't really trust Aunt Lucy with the twins. As soon as I got to Mrs Ferguson's house, I knocked on the door and was greeted my Mrs Ferguson.
"Good morning Amanda" She greeted and I gave her a smile.
"Good morning Mrs Ferguson." I said
"Hey little ones, you ready for a day of fun?" She asked them and they both cheered.
Mrs Ferguson was pretty young, she is in her late 30's, she's married to a wonderful man and has a kid of her own which is the twins' age, she's a housewife which is why she babysits the twins most of the time for me. She was a friend of my parents when they were still alive and so I trust her with the twins.
"Alright, now both of you have fun and behave okay? I'll be back in a few hours to pick you guys up." I said and they both nodded their heads.
"We love you Amanda!" They both said and I just gave them a smile.
"I love you both very much" I said and gave them both a hug.
"I'll be going now, Mrs Ferguson." I said and gave her a hug.
"Alright, you take care okay?" She said and I gave her a smile and nodded my head.
"Bye Mrs Ferguson, tell Mr Ferguson I said Hi, and tell little Matt that I miss him." I said and turned around and started my walk to school. Mrs Ferguson lives in our neighborhood which is good for me, because then I won't be late for school. School was about a 15 minute walk from our neighborhood, though I have to wake up pretty early, because I have to get ready, cook food for my Aunt and the twins, I usually skip breakfast. After cooking, I need to get the twins ready and then head to Mrs Ferguson's house.
I got to school with about 10 minutes to spare. I walked over to my locker to see Christian and his friends by his locker. I hate that until now me and his lockers are near each other, it makes me want to scratch my eyes out.
When I got to my locker, their conversation stopped and started whispering. I sighed and opened my locker to get my books, when I got everything I needed, I slammed my locker shut and walked away from them.
I miss Christian, I really do, I miss everything we do, but he seems happier without me so I guess that's alright. My first class is Social Studies and I had this class with Christian and his idiotic friends, life sucks.
I walked in the classroom to see no one, I was always the first one in class so this wasn't a shock to me. I liked being on time, if not, earlier. I went to my usual seat at the back, near the window and took my phone and earphones out. I plugged in my earphones and shuffled my playlist. I set my phone down, sighed, and looked out the window.
I wish my parents were alive, I miss them so much, life's been so hard without them. I miss Christian as well, I can never admit it to myself but, I'm broken, and I don't know if I can ever be fixed.
