Hey everyone, I thought of this one day and sat down for five hours and wrote the first three chapters over spring break.
Please tell me what you think so I may or may not continue.
Thanks.

Chapter 1:
~I'm sleeping through the day,
I'm trying not to fade,
But every single night I've just been lying awake,
Cause I,
I can't get you off my mind,
The moment that we met,
I didn't know yet,
That I was looking at a face I'll never forget,
Cause I,
I can't get you off my mind,
I can't get you off my mind,~
As the song kept playing, I looked out the window of the bus longingly.
Other kids rough housed and read and talked behind me but I paid them little attention and them me.
The hills around me and the forest of this area always seem quiet and calm and peaceful. So much unlike the world we lived in. Now you had to stand up- be something that you weren't- to get noticed.
I lightly ran a finger over the window outlining the limbs and leaves outside as we passed.
The frown on my lips deepened. Nature was so beautiful. So perfect. So different.
And it was so overlooked.
The bus squealed and stopped and I grabbed my bag and climbed off without a second look. Most of the people gave me looks but I set my shoulders. I may not be popular or well known but I was confident. I strolled down the road to my house.
As I climbed the steps to my house, I noticed a note on the front door.
Alexa,
I am working at Sean's. I'm probably not going to be back till late. Help yourself to what's in the fridge. Love you.
I crumbled it a little in my hand before releasing. He always had to work late. Not that he didn't want to spend time with me- he just couldn't.
I set my bag down on my bed and ran out back. Opening the garage door, I set to work on finishing the last of my project: my dad's old 1989 Ford Bronco.
My dad was going to send it to the scrapyard along with the boat but I asked for them both and he said if I can fix them I can have em.
Now their mine.
Two hours and a few gallons of grease later, I went inside to take and shower and slip in bed. It was the weekend and I could do my homework tomorrow.
I pulled out my phone and opened Netflix. Transformers Rescue Bots was probably one of my favorites but I would always be partial to the bay-verse and prime verse. Hey always had someone to lean on. Through everything they always had each other. I had never had that. I learned not to trust and to kept to myself. When I realized what happened, I tried to act more open and upbeat and the second worked, but I still was sorta closed off.
That was my mistake.
I looked out the window and up to the sky. 'Lord, I know you've taken good care of my sisters. But I ask you, please give my someone to lean on. Someone I can relate to, so I don't always have to be the strong one.'
The star pulsed brighter and disappeared.
I had shut my phone off and laid down on my side when a voice sounded through the room. "Be prepared. Everything is about to change."
Then a bright white light erupted and engulfed the room.
And I knew only blackness.
