Alone

     I woke up, and there i was alone. I stood up and peeked out the window, hoping to hear yelling, crying, laughter, cars, people walking, dogs barking, anything to tell me everything was back to the way it was. But all i heard was my breathing, i turned around and started making my bed, mother yells at me if i dont. Once i finished i started getting ready for school, did my hair, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. I put my shoes on that father brought for me before that day. I headed down stairs to the kitchen, it was empty. I got some cereal,"Hey mom we need to go to the store later, were almost out of milk." I stared at my cereal, "Oh, you want me to get some after school. Ok I will but i need some money. Go get some from dads wallet? Ok." It was quiet, empty, I stood up and went to the living room and it was empty. I grabbed my dads wallet and pulled out a five, i head back to the kitchen to wash my dish. "ok well im gonna go to school now, I love you both." I shouted to my parents before walking off to school. I walked passed my neighbors house and there was no one out, " Good morning Mr.Josten, tell your wife i said hi." I shouted as i passed their house. The street was empty, no cars, no people, nothing at all. 

     I got to school and noticed i was about to be late to class , i ran through the empty halls, up the stairs and into the first door on the right. The bell rang as the door closed behind me, i walked over to desk 28 that was my desk. I looked up at the board, the writing on it was starting to fade but i couldnt just rewrite it, thats the teachers job not mine. I looked out the window and the empty streets gave me this weird feeling, but i cant let that get to me right now i have to focus.

      I tried to write it down but again its starting to fade. Once i finished i put my planner back in my bag, I looked up at the classroom at all the empty chairs and desks. The teachers laptop had started to get dusty, the whole room was. The silence was starting to get to me , i put my head in my arms and closed my eyes waiting for the bell to ring but i wasnt even through half of the period. I raised my hand and waited a few seconds," Mrs.Silva may i go to the bathroom?"I waited for a response, "Thank you." I said before walking to the door to grabbed the bathroom pass. I walked through the quiet,still, hallways until i made it to the bathroom. I stormed in the first stall then broken down on the floor. I started screaming and kicking the toilet and slammed my hands on the floor and hitting the walls. I was crying and screaming hoping someone would come in and say something anything  even to shut the fuck up i dont care! I just dont want to be alone! I want my mom, and my dad, my brother,and my friends, I want my life back! 

     10 minutes went by and i finally calmed down, i stood up and walked out the stall and headed back to the class room. I hung up the pass, "Im not feeling too well, im gonna go home im sorry bye." I said looking at the board. I quickly grabbed my bag and walked out the door, I walked through the hallway, i could hear voices, people talking like before and the louder they got the faster i walked. Once i walked down the stairs i found myself crying again, i started seeing people my friends just in the hallways but it was just my head messing with me, its not real, none of it! I ran out of the building and the moment i did all i heard was the sounds of cars and even more people talking and walking. I covered my ears and then i started seeing the cars and the people, I screamed and started running. I stopped at the bridge, i was still crying and the noises didnt stop. I stood at the edge and looked down, fear was starting to take over but i cant do this anymore. Im the last person, the only one left, i dont want to do this alone, i cant. I was about to jump but, " Lucy! What are you doing!?" My mother voice i quickly turned my head, this cant be happening! She came back! Thats when i realized just like the cars and the people and the sounds, she wasnt real. I looked her in the eyes, "I love you mommy." I fell back.
