Winds Of Change
Prologue
Fly Away
Be warned, this chapter contains song lyrics! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
She needed to get out of here. This town was too small for her. Her mother, an alcoholic working-stiff, was suffocating her with her non-existent parenting. Sarah Witwicky knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that she needed a pair of wings, to carry her far, far away from this place… But what could possibly take her away?
The tall, lanky girl sighed as she entered her room, turning on her small, cheap cd player, she played one of her favorite songs…
A young girl walks into her room, she doesn't like what she sees, in the reflection there, she not what she wants to be
She cries out, she cries out,
The frustrations of this life are filling her head, how could such a simple thing have a grip so intense?
She cries out, she cries out,
" I wanna be like the movie stars, and models on the screen"
Sarah knew she had no beauty…
She wants to fly away from this
She had no brains…
Fly away from this
Where could she go?
But she does not know how to fly away from this
Sarah knew she could do nothing… she couldn't write, she couldn't draw and there was NO way she'd win at a beauty contest. Acting? Out of the question. Take a cashier job?
No. Way. In. Hell.
All she knew was that traveling was a dream for her… a dream she could never reach…
She wants to fly away…
Sarah smiled thinly as she stood up from sitting on her bed and looked at herself in the mirror with a grim expression. Oh god, she had tried so hard to fit in. The desire and need to be accepted had burned in her once eager heart.
Not eating had been the first step to fitting in with the others…
She tries to be what she's not, but she's destroying herself, she starves herself, this compulsion must end…
The girls had laughed at all her vain efforts. They'd made fun of the thin, tall, awkward girl with the straight, short brown hair and the untidy freckles that sprinkled over her nose.
Her figure was thin in all areas. And she wasn't athletic in the least.
She cries out, she cries out," I wanna be like the movie stars, and models on the screen.
She wants to fly away from this…
Sarah couldn't bear to be alone. But that was a tough thing when she was the freak, the one who even the other freaks made fun of. Even her best friend made fun of her at times.
Fly away from this
Leigh, her friend, would berate her for being so clumsy, for being so stammer-tongued and shy. But Sarah couldn't help it. She couldn't do anything right. She had nothing…
But she does not know how to fly away from this
What could she do?
She wants to fly away.
Sarah had given up on her 'diet' when she realized it did nothing but misery for her.
This obsession is bringing her down
This addiction is bringing her down
But now, where would she go? What would she do? She was close to 18, where would she go from here?
She wants to fly away from this.
Fly away from this.
She wants to fly away from this
Only God knows how to fly away from this,
He will show her how to fly away from this.
She wants to fly away… fly away…fly away…
Sarah knew this much was certain. Somehow or other…
She had to get out of this lonely hell
I'm revising the chapters, so, if you're reading this for the first time, look out for spelling errors and please report them to me!
The song is from "Down" By Kutless. I used the song to set the mood, kinda let you know where my oc is at, in case you're wondering.
Please review!
