Just as I predicted. All the teachers and students and parents and passers-by EVERYONE is being totally stupid. Words can't fix what is broken. What is broken? Me. My life. Everyone I ever loved is dead. Dead and gone. The stupid pouty faces and fake tears are driving me crazy! I'm like "Why the hell are you crying?! It's MY family that's dead NOT yours!!" I mean, for crying out loud these people are insane!

When I get home, Donna is waiting for me on the couch. She mews and runs up to me. "Hey, Donna. You hungry? Me too." I make some mac and cheese while she licks a tuna can clean. I contemplate watching TV but I don't. As I sit staring longingly into my fathers armchair, something outside glistens. I turn toward the window and get up. On the ground outside is something silver and long.

My mothers locket. It must have broken when she got in the car. I'm able to fix the clasp with some pliers, so I decide that it is now mine. Donna looks at me and then at the locket, and she drops her head like she remembers my mum wearing it.

Why does my life have to be so freaking messed up? Why me? What did I do to deserve this? I don't want... I... I just...Why can't this just be OVER!

My mind is playing tricks on me and I can't breathe properly or talk or anything. I just want my life to be over, because what is now broken can never be fixed.
