I have two lives.

While a lot of people may say this, I mean it in a different way. I don't mean my home life verses my school life - no, for me it is much more ordinary than that. Everyday when i go to sleep, I wake up the next day. Except that it's not the next day. Its the same day but I'm a different person.

I am 17 years old, I go to school and I have friends. I am the same as all of you. Except I'm not. My name is Jessica. I live everyday twice. This is my life.

*******************************************************************************

I wake up with a start and roll over, hearing the bed squeak slightly as I do. The mattress feels slightly different beneath me. The switch is always so disorientating.

I take a minute to get my bearings -where am I? after a minute it all comes back to me. Here, I have two brothers (one older, one younger) - Sam and Jamie, and a little sister Annabelle. My room is large, with a double bed - which I like much more than my single bed, a desk with a laptop and a massive bookshelf filled with books - I love to read. I also have a bookshelf that is filled with movies - but not here. Here, I hate movies. And bad romance novels. After I have figured out where I am, fatigue washes over me and I fall asleep again.

*******************************************************************************

The blaring of my alarm wakes me up again. I roll over and groan - I've forgotten to turn my alarm off again. "Seriously Jess? you have Got to stop forgetting that!" I say to myself. I sigh and resign myself to an early start this morning and wander downstairs.

In the lounge-room, Annabelle is watching television. She looks up and smiles at me as I walk into the room and sit down next to her. I smile back - I love my little sister. We are so close compared to my relationship with my brothers here. She doesn't say anything to me - she's not a big talker. She snuggles up next to me and we watch the cartoon network together for a while. We sit and watch in silence, when she suddenly asks me "Why did Mum have to die?" I think for a minute before answering her.
