Bella's Preface

The school bell rang loudly in the background, but I wasn't paying attention. I was staring up at the rain clouds. They covered the sky in a sea of a gray. No one was paying attention to me, as usual. Ever since my mommy left, no one likes me anymore. My two best friends, Lauren and Jessica, don't talk to me anymore. Daddy is always fishing with his buddies leaving me alone.

Alone.

That's all I'll ever be.

Left here

Alone

I looked behind me, the school doors were closed everyone was inside. Everyone that they remembered that is. I made my choice that day that was the day I decided to run away. To live in the woods by myself, where no one would forget about me.

To fend for myself.

Why did you have to go?

Alone,

That's me.

So with one last glance back at the school I ran into the woods, leaving everything that I knew behind me. Not even looking back once.

If someone asks you for the person who is

Alone

That would be me.

I was left in the forest

I didn't stop, until I ran out of breath. By now it was getting dark; I had to find a place to stay. I began walking, searching for a place that would stay somewhat dry. I eventually found a cottage; it was very old and run down. Not something most people would want to live in for fear of it falling down on top of them, but it was all I had. And it was better than the ground.

Alone.

I was left on the ground

Alone.

I was left to deal

I made it to the door of cottage just as the sky opened up and the rain poured down. It came down in sheets of ice cold water. I pushed at the door of the cottage with all the strength that a malnourished nine year girl had.

Alone.

You said you would be there for me

But when I needed you most

You left me

It slowly creaked open and revealed my new home.

Alone.

I was left in the snow

Alone.

I was left half dead

Alone.

How can you claim to love me?

When you left me all

Alone.

Why should I believe you?

Every time I do I get hurt

Or I wind up

Alone.

No one cares about the little girl left in the closet,

All by herself

Alone

In the cruel world.

No one cares about the girl in the end

When it counts

For she will always be

Alone

In this world

And the next

Completely and utterly

Alone…
