Abducted
From My Own Life,
Chapter 1:
My name’s Alyssa. Your average day to day girl. I’m 17. I like everything plain and simple. I have the same routine every day. Get up, get ready, go to school, come home, eat, do homework, go to bed. I spend most of my free time lying in bed, listening to music. I spend hours just sitting there, trying to drown out the sounds of silence. You see, my mom has cancer. She has it so severe that she has to live in a hospital, forty- five minutes away from here. Where’s my dad? Probably out at the church. He almost lives there now, praying for my mom to get better. I’m glad he is, but… I don’t know, I kind of need him now. Anyways, as much as I know it’s not true… I believe my mom is going to get better. She HAS to. I can’t spend the rest of my life like this. I just….can’t.
My life wasn’t always like this. In fact, just six months ago, I was in Student council, Cheerleading, soccer, JHS, and Drama Club. I was the girl everybody wanted to be. You all know the girl. Every school has one, or even a few. I was the one with just the right body, curvy but not fat, long shiny hair that falls right into place, the perfect face with no flaws. I bet you are all thinking of that girl right now. The boys all loved me, girls all admired me. My friends always talked about how perfect I was, and how jealous they were. One thing everybody admired about me was that I didn’t use my body to get what I wanted. I worked hard to earn it. I talked to anyone, the “nerds”, and the “geeks”. I didn’t care how popular they were or how pretty they are. I knew what mattered. Can’t forget about my boyfriend, Brian! Most people would describe him as hot, sexy, or very attractive. But that was NOT what I saw in him. Okay, that was a major plus, but I didn’t fall in love with his body, just his heart. He volunteered twice a week at a soup kitchen. He was compassionate and warm-hearted. He was the kind of boy who you would see in fairytale movies. He had it all. Unfortunately, I found out three months after our one year anniversary that his dad never thought he was good enough. His dad never saw the beautiful soul that everyone else loved to be around. He started abusing him. He ignored the world as he punched him towards the ground…. He didn’t even see the staircase right in front of him, the day his son died. He tripped over the first stair and trying to catch himself pulled Brian down with him. Brian hit his head hard when they reached the bottom. He died three hours
after.
I got so depressed after I heard the news. I had no boyfriend to comfort me. My best friends, Aubrie and Megan tried, but it just wasn’t the same. We all couldn’t believe that his life, full with so many opportunities, was taken away from him at such a young age. He was supposed to graduate high school four months later. Shortly after his funeral, my mom told me that she has lung cancer. She felt horrible to tell me right after Brian died, but she couldn’t keep it a secret. So here we are, two months later. In my now, incredibly complex life. So much for simple….
