Do you ever feel alone, isolated, scared, and just like no one cared? This is how Alexandra always felt. You'd think at least her sister would care, but of all people even she didn't. Her sister was always hanging out with older creepy boys. Oh, and her parents, don't even get me started on them. They were always fighting and arguing too much to realize that they were neglecting their own children. Now Alexandra has to get her own food and meals. So mostly she stopped at 7 11 and got a slushy and a quick snack. Her parents were wealthy but they gave each girl only ten dollars a week. That wasn't enough for food or anything to do.
Most of the time, Alexandra locked herself in her room. Her room is where her true emotions were expressed. She would draw very detailed drawings. With one glance at them, you could see the pain and hurt in this young girl's life. Her iPod was loaded with the most depressing songs. Almost every book on her shelf was Horror/Sifi/Fantasy. One shelf was full of books on paranormal.
That is one of the few things Alexandra is interested in. she had an Ouija board, EMF detector, EVP recorder and plenty books on how to communicate with the dead. Every Thursday night, she held a séance in her basement. That seemed like an energy source for the spirits because they could speak full sentences and show themselves when most people can only here one or two words. The séances were very productive. At school, Alexandra didn't have many friends. However, the spirits that she communicated with were better than any friend Alexandra had ever had. They seemed to understand her, almost as if, the same thing had happened to them that is happening to her in her life.
There was only one thing in Alexandra's room that showed how things used to be. The walls. The walls were two different shades of bright turquoise. There were black wall stickers bordering the tops of two walls and of course, the black chandelier. That was Alexandra's favorite part. She loved the way Turquoise with an accent of Black looked. So minus all the depressing things that are currently in Alexandra's room it was perfect for a 13 year old girl.
Things weren't always how they are now. Alexandra and her sister, Rose, used to live like princess' I guess you could say. They got almost everything the wanted. Alexandra wasn't a brat about it though. All she wanted was an iPod touch, a laptop, and a few smaller things here and there. Rose was a little different. She was like most kids, she asked for anything and everything. Alexandra only wanted a few things. Her family used to be very close. They would go on cheesy family vacations and trips and eat every meal together. Suddenly, her parent's relationship began to fade. The argued a lot and even talked about divorce. One night Alexandra was supposed to be asleep but instead she was listening to her parent's conversation. They had agreed to not get a divorce until both kids were out of high school. Alexandra was crushed that her parents were actually going to get divorced. She ran to tell her sister quick.
Alexandra and Rose didn't understand. The sisters became really close even thought their parents seemed to pretend they weren't even there. But their sisterly bonding only lasted about six months. Rose began to just not care about anything. She let her grades slip and she quit all the sports she was in. Alexandra continued to try her best and still is getting good grades. Rose, as the older sister should have been helping and protecting Alexandra. In stead, she couldn't care less about her.
