Night Eyes.
INTRO-
As I finished staring at the Bryan Starz video 6 my eyes started to burn. I ignored the multiple times my mom yelled my name, trying to get me to eat food. I looked around the screen eyeing for more Andy Biersack/Black Veil Brides videos on YouTube. Every one of their videos I had devoured and memorized at least once. My room was slightly decorated with the presence of BVB posters and drawings. Along with other posters of landscapes, photos I've taken, and notes. The walls that surround me have always been my canvas ever since I was able to pick up a crayon.
"Get down here this instant Rachel or so help me I will use your posters as dart boards!" My father called and my heart sunk. The thought of a dart through Andy's head made me tear up. So after my little 'moment' I shut my laptop and crawled out of my room on my hands and knees, towards the stairs.
I sat down at dinner hearing the buzzing of chitchat around my family. My parakeet squawked at me and I gave it some spaghetti.
"Hello crow." I whispered. I named the small greedy parakeet crow for only two reasons. One it was Andy's cats name. Two because he could imitate a crow, nasty birds those guys are even though their feathers are magnificent.
All through dinner I kept thinking about how lucky Andy's cat was. He's able spend his entire life with Andy… it made me jealous. He is such a cute cat and I think of him as kind of like a mascot for Andy's Instagram.
"Get your head out of the clouds and eat." My mom ordered. I continued playing with my bread and nibbling every now and then just thinking of the little cat named Crow.
Crow was black and white and oh so adorable. Me on the other hand, I'm just a plain blonde with gray depressing eyes, and pale white skin. I guess living in Alaska takes its part on me. I am 100% not Eskimo though, it's weird when people ask me if I live in an igloo or eat polar bear or seal. So sometimes I ask people who live in Texas if they live in a barn or people that live in cities if they live in trees.
"Rachel you may be excused." My mom interrupted my train of thought. When I headed up stairs I could hear my mom mentioning my name and something about grades. Not that I could care.
I laid on my loft queen bed and stared at my plain white ceiling. My cat meowed next to my ear and I jumped. I scratched his ear and he purred. More thinking and day dreaming for me. Technically it was night dreaming since time flew by my eyes and it was 11 pm. So I fiddled with a loose string on my blanket and then remembered the meteor shower that was supposed to happen tonight. I looked out my window and sure enough there was a few lights flying through the sky. I did what any kid would do even though I'm 15 and crossed my fingers to make a wish knowing it was pointless.
"I wish I could be Andy's cat for a year!" I loudly whispered. My eyes hurt from me shutting them tightly. So I closed my eyes and pushed on my face with my pillow to make my face numb. Hearing the soothing rumble of my cat purring.
