A SADNESS CHANGE

Chapter 1 - Hillwood

I got on the bus and sat on the seat. I'm going to Hillwood. My childhood past. I moved away from Hillwood when I was 14 years old, because my so- called dad found a huge beeper store in New York far away. I tried everything to stay in Hillwood. But I guess I failed. I hated New York, my life got worse and worse in every minute. I missed Phoebe and my friends. When I moved to New York. Everything was different, I didn't make friends, instead I made enemies. It seems that my so-called parents and annoying sister had a great life, and mine, well, you know. And now since I'm 22, I had a miserable job and a broken down apartment. I haven't called my friends ever since I was 16. Probably because I had a miserable life to deal with.

So here I am, on my way to Hillwood. While my mom works in a store called "Smoothie Smooth", my dad getting rich and my sister, well, lets just say "everything." I'm a little nervous visiting my old friends. Especially Arnold. I still haven't told him. I kind of forgot about him. I still love him with all my heart. He probably has a girlfriend by now.

"Excuse miss" the bus driver said, interrupting my deep thought." Is this the place you wanted me to let you know?" I looked around; there was nobody on the bus. Only the bus driver and herself.

"Where is everyone?" I had to ask.

"No one comes here." he said. I suddenly put on a puzzled face. I looked at the street sign "Vine Street".

"This is the place, thank you." I said as I got off the bus.

"Oh and be careful. This isn't the place like it used to be." The bus driver said as he road away. I was really confused. What did he meant by that? But when I looked around, I now found out what he meant by that.

The whole town is destroyed. Everything is ruined. The building is almost torn down, the streetlights are broken, and everything I see is ruined. I find myself with my mouth covered by my shaky hands, my eyes all watery. My suitcases dropped on the ground. I just stood there. Shocked.

After I calmed myself, I picked up my suitcases and started walking. As I walked I looked at all the buildings. Building after building it all made me feel puzzled and disappointed in the same time. The cars are all messed up. The words are written on the building and there was even a dead bird on the ground.

"Oh my god!" I gasp as I looked at the dead bird. Suddenly I bumped in to a guy, about my age, he just took my suitcases and ran off.

"Hey, give that back!" I screamed as I ran after him. Blocks after blocks I kept running, even if I have a 3-inch heel on. But he was running way to fast. I lost him. And he kind of looked familiar.

"Great just great!" I yelled as if I was yelling at the whole town. But when I turned around I saw Mighty Pete, the tree house. Only is not there. It was gone. The longest living tree there ever was. They destroyed it. My tears fell. Then I thought. Gerald field. I ran down the street to Gerald field. And there it was. It's all messed up. Garbage was everywhere. I shook my head.

"This cant be." I cried as I ran to leave this all behind. But then I stopped and saw my old house. It was clean, it was spotless, and it was the same. The whole town was ruined, but the house she used to live in was still the same. I couldn't believe it, it was the same thing. I decided to go inside. As I went inside, the place was clean. It sends me so many memories. I looked at the living room where big bob always watches TV, and there was the kitchen where Miriam would make smoothies and there was a trophy room where all Olga's trophies were. DUH!! I finally realized that I didn't have a room for me. Only a bedroom. Yes, my bedroom. I ran upstairs and when I touch the doorknob from my bedroom, the door fell down flat on the floor. And made me jump and gasp. To my surprise I found my room a mess, dusty and the wallpaper peeled out. Everything in the house is clean. Except my room.

I went in and the dust made me sneeze. I looked at myself on the dusty mirror that happens to be on the floor. There was no reason for me to look in the mirror in a time like this, but I just wanted to find out if my eyes were red. Of course no make up. I wasn't kind of a makeover person. I looked around and out the window.

"What is going on around here?" I found myself asking." What happened ever since I moved?"

"Hello Helga" a familiar voice made me turn around quickly. As I saw the face. My heart sank.
