The reality of this world seems to keep changing as my life goes on. I rarely feel as though I want to continue after my reality changed, very drastically.

Soundly outside, the melodic splashing of gentle rain poured from a sad grey sky. Window curtains were pulled aside from the window at that fine household in the very refined community.
Leaning against the windowsill, a slumped over body, dressed in a jean jacket hoodie, navy blue skinny jeans, and white old sneakers sat, watching the rain fall and slide down the glass. She thought of how cliche her life felt at that moment, she lay a dull smile across her tear stained face.
"Is the sky truly crying, or is it simply mocking me for thinking that crying would ever help.." The girl said as she wiped her sleeve across her eyes and sat up, closing her eyes and sighing. Her jet black hair fell down against the sides of her face as she took in a deep breath and sighed.
"Jovie?" Said a low melancholy voice. She sighed, not opening her eyes, "Yeah, dad?" She sighed as her door slowly opened, the face of her father peering in. "Honey, please...I know it is hard, but you need to get ready, we have to go soon.." He said this in somewhat of a whisper of distant grief. Jovie did not move or open her eyes still, but she nodded, "Yeah..sure dad.." She mumbled as she rolled around, facing her back to the door. Her father sighed and left her room, closing the door quietly behind him.
Jovie's bright almost silver and violet eyes opened and she turned and looked at her now closed door. Of course, why wouldn't he try and comfort me, like you are supposed to. Jovie stood and walked solemnly over to her closet, opening the creaky door slowly. Hanging on the back of the door, a simple and sad black dress hung. She looked at it for several long moments, tears slightly forming within her eyes. She sniffled and shook her head, fighting back this rain wanting to pour out from the clouds of her soul.
The reflection she sees in the mirror now made her think of one of those sad movie scenes, where a girl is left alone to cry in the rain. She looked at her black hair, simply thrown on top of her head, and the black dress she wore. Nothing would make this a beautiful day.
"Jovie, come on, dear!" Her father called from downstairs. She looked at her reflection moments longer before heading out of her room and down to her father. He stood in a black tuxedo outfit, holding an umbrella and looking to Jovie with saddened soft eyes. "Ready?" He asked. Oh, father, who would ever be ready for this?
