Reflection

Chapter 1

The picture above is of me, Tiara Rooney

"But now in front of me, she asks to be understood and helped, but how do I help a reflection in the mirror ? "

I woke up at 3 a.m, with my eyes pooled with tears, remembering all the memories and the happy life I once had.

"NO, I need to be strong. I am happy, yes I am. I don't care for what all happened", I thought and smiled through my tears.
I got up, washed my face and came back to my room and slept.
" It feels so light after a good cry", I thought to myself.
The alarm rang at 6 a.m.
"Oh god! I am so so sleepy", i sighed.

Yea sure, cry all night and sleep at 3, wake up at 6 and do not feel sleepy that's what I expect huh!

I convinced myself to get out of bed and get ready for college.
Finally, I got out of bed. Brushed and had a shower.
" Mom, I need two boiled eggs today for the breakfast", I said to my mother.

"Shut up Tia, you won't get two boiled eggs. Have you gone crazy or what! Just one or else no egg for todsy! ", mom replied.

" Okay mom. Just one. ", I replied with a sigh.

After having breakfast, I went to my room to get ready.
I stood in front of the dressing table. Did my hair, applied liner and lip balm.

I wondered if someone will ever love me, I doubted rather. Keeping aside my thoughts, I took out my car and headed to her house to pick her up. We go to the college together.

Diana Emerson, 19,my best friend, knew all about me. My past and my present, even the feelings I fake.

As I drove out to her house to pick her up,I knew Diana would know what happened at night.

" Do not cry for the one who neither values you, nor your tears, Tiara." These are the words she oftenly spoke to me, with a slap on my cheek.

As expected.

As soon as Diana got into the car, she knew I had cried all night.

"You stupid girl. Why do you have to do this to yourself, always. Why!! ", she screamed.

" What happened Diana ? A bad mood ? " I replied.

"No babe. A bad you! Its been a year Tia, and you are still crying over a fucking boy! He is merely a boy Tia, you deserve a real man", she said softening her voice.

"Emm.. What did you have in your breakfast, Dia ?" I said.

"Don't play these tricks of 'topic change' with me at least. I won't spare you now, you stupid girl", she said. " Tell me what happened and why did you cry"

"I do not cry Dia. How many times should I tell you." , I said.

"Oh! My bae doesn't cry! Then why are your eyes swelled. Did your brother hit you or what ? You think I am an idiot ?", she said.
" Okay okay Dia, relax. I am fine", I said.
"NO you are not", she said and hugged me tightly. "You deserve someone who is the best. And of course better than him, much much better"
"Yeah. I know Dia". I said, as I drove towards our college.
