I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing black leggings, a tanish beige sweater I had made for myself in sewing class two months ago and a pair of black boots. I didn't plan my outfit ahead of time...after all I wasn't looking forward to today. I looked at myself more intensly and saw her. Mom, I remember that day so vividly like it was yesterday ...Aly my babysitter picking up her silver flip phone just to hear some horrible news regarding my mother.
"Willow we have to go now," Her face had sorrow on it.
"But why?" I asked curiously, as I had always been.
"There's no time for questions Willow! We have to go quickly ," She demanded. With my two Barbie dolls clenched in my hands, I got into Aly's mint green minivan. Ally coming shortly after me. She turns on the car and exits the driveway...She was driving at full sped and didn't even bother to stop at a light once. I guess she realized this because quickly after she zoomed past a yellow light she turned to look at me to see if I was buckled. We arrived at the hospital about five minutes later...and there he was. My dad...Looking at me with a ever so pacifying face with an attempt to try to calm me down. I didn't even know what was happening at that precise moment, all I saw was my dad, Jeremy whispered something to Ally...her eyes widened. i still don't know what my dad whispered to Aly that day.

"Hey dad! Where's mommy?" I asked my dad with a spark of wonder in my eyes.
"She went on a buisness trip. She'll be back before you you know it...cupcake," He replied.
That then went on for a while...excuse, after excuse and question after question.
On my fourteenth birthday my dad told me what really happened to mom...I remember feeling a great pain in my heart. I felt like I was alone in a dark room with no exit. No one to run to, after all I was the only child. Oh how I wish my mom were here, I miss her dark brown hair and her light brown emerald eyes. I miss how'd she'd tuck me into bed at night...just when I started to to remember all these memories of mother and I...
"Willow, Willow...What are you doing? You've been staring at yourself for almost ten minutes, Should I bit worried?" He wondered.
"O-hh umm yeah... I mean no! I was just deciding on what to do with my hair today...you know bad hair day?" I say chuckling.
"Stop worrying so much, it's the first day of ninth grade not a fashion show" He says acknowledging my horrible lying tactics. " Breakfast is...not ready...so if I were you I'd hurry up before I make the waffles and eat hem all." My dad then left my room. I then realized I had to hurry up...as much as I wanted to skip school and watch the bran new episodes of Fuller House,I knew I couldn't which sucked. I put on my burgundy beanie and walk out the door with a waffle in my hand. I get into my dad's truck and we commence driving down the street. I've always seen the world so dully but, for some reason today was different . I see the world...and it's full of color.
I press my forehead to the window and feel the chilly weather. I then see the yellow and orange tree leaves falling to the ground so peacefully. Peace. Something I remember dearly. Those days where I didn't have a care in the world. Where I could wear my fuzzy boots and my fuzzy jacket in the middle of August without having to care what people had to say....but now here I am in my dad's truck getting ready to face new obstacles. The truck then stops and I knew it was time for me to go.
"Bye dad" I mumbled
"Bye Willow have fun,"He says quite apologetic because he knew I was dreading school. I walk to the front of my school. Why isn't there anyone here? Am I late? Should I just ditch? Who am I sitting next to I'm my classes? A million thoughts are going through my head. Until I hear crying. Should I approach her? Or should I just leave her to fend for herself?
