Past and Present

It is dark. And it feels like the world around me is closing in and each breathe gets harder to take. I feel my body tremble and I can't scream for help. As i float in this empty black hole I see a faint light and i try to make my way to it. Yet every time I get close I wake up in a puddle of sweat. I check my clock. It's only 118. I rose from the blankets like i do every morning at this exact time to clean myself off. As i stare at the bathroom mirror I brush my long blond hair away from my eyes. I see my mothers eyes every time I look Into the mirror. She gave me these bright green eyes that most envy.

Once I Finished cleaning my face and pulling my hair up i am able to relax and lay back down. I stare at my ceiling. Listening to the wind blowing branches against the house. And Cars passing by on the street below. Today I have 3 weeks til my birthday. Another something to celebrate alone. But i don't feel on it. I roll over to glance at my parents photo before closing my eyes for the night.

"Although I dont remember you... I miss you..." I whisper as a tear falls from my eye.

After waking and getting ready for school like i do every morning our house mother calls me and the other girls to the front door for a house meeting. Molly Jean grabs ahold of my arm and i see her smile so bright it blinds me.

"Good morning Freya! Did you sleep well?" she asks like she did every morning. I shrug and turn to Miss Walters pretending to pay attention. I dont like to speak to people. Cuz If i stay away and have no one they can never leave me. Horrible logic I know but it makes me feel better.

"Good morning ladies. Today Is a very special day. Today Is Miss Cathrines 18th birthday so today after school we shall all meet here to have her going away party so do not be late. " Walters says with a grin." Okey be safe and head to school. Don't dilly dally!"

I forgot. When i turn 18 I am forced out of the house. That way there is more room for the other orphan children. So i work part time while in school to save money for my own place. i have just enough for a place by my school. It isnt much but enough to get me by while i finish school and head to college. I have straight A' s so i could get a scholarship because being im alone I can't afford it on my own.

We walk to school. All 15 girls. Molly Jean and me are in the same class. Miss Walters likes us to walk together because we have a few kids with us and it is safer that way. We dont live far but far enough where we have to leave a hour before classes even start.

Finally we make it to school and everyone seperated to their own areas. I head to the library. I take a walk to the isle i was working on next. I was on the W's. I have read almost every bookin this library. I spend mornings, homeroom, and lunch here. It is like a second home. And no one usually comes in here.

I grab my book and head to the table in the back i always sit at. As i approach it I feel a tug on my bag. I turn to find a guy leaning against one of the shelves. He is tall and pale. Scary yet Handsome. He doesn't say anything to me. For a moment we just stare. I assume it was a mistake but he smirks and yanks me to him grabbing my wrists hard. He pins me to the books. I try to yell but he shoves his lips to mine to keep me quiet. How could he take my first kiss!

Anger built up. I didn't know him and yet I HATE him. All of a sudden I felt myself get really hot and he is thrown acrossed the room. The lights fade and i fall to the Ground and lights turn dark. Before i black out i see him walking twords me.
