Chapter 1
Amy tried to bock out the yelling voices coming from the kitchen. Then it happened…the thing that she had been dreading for months. She heard the front door slam closed and then she saw her father's car speed down the long driveway. Amy could not hold back the tears that were stinging the back of her eyes. She cried for what seemed like hours to her. Amy couldn't sleep that night, all that she could think about was about what was going to happen now that her parents weren't together. She was so mad at her mom and dad that she wished that they would just leave her alone for the rest of her life!
Next Day
Amy got dressed when she realized that she had 30 minutes before she had to go to school. She slowly got out of bed and went over to her closet, she grabbed a pair of dark jeans and a black tank top. She walked slowly into her bathroom and looked into her mirror, she looked terrible! Her eyes were blood struck and her face was tearstained. She brushed her hair and then let it slide down her back. She then slipped on her converse and then slowly walked down the stairs. She found her mother drinking some sort of alcoholic beverage watching television.
"Amy? Is that you? We really need to talk." Her mother slurred
"No! MOM, we don't have anything to talk about and I have to go to school!"
Amy ran out to her car and slammed down on the gas pedal.
School
When Amy got to school she pulled up into a parking space, of course the one farthest away from school because she was running late, and slowly walked up to the front of the school where everyone met until school started. When Amy reached the front she instantly saw her friends sitting on the wall were they always sat before school. When Amy walked over to her friends she quickly put on her "nothing's the matter face" and sat where she usually sat between her friends Soraya and Matt, along with all of her other friends. They were all talking about something until I walked up.
"Hey Amy," they all said in chorus.
"Hey guys,"
I tried to sound as cheerful as possible, but it obviously didn't work because I could see Soraya and Matt look at me with such a look that it scared me almost.
"Amy what's wrong." Soraya asked with obvious concern
"Nothing, why do you ask?" my voice becoming shaky and weak
Lunch
When Amy went out to the garden square to eat lunch with her friends she was suddenly pulled around the corner and was gently pushed up against the wall. Amy was about to scream until she saw who it was. There before her stood the quarter back of the foot ball team, the best bodied guy in the world, the most popular and hottest guy in all of the school, but to Amy Ty was her best friend and the only person that she could count on to be there for her.
"So… Miss. Fleming, I hear that you are not yourself today from a reliable source?"
Ty said looking her in the eyes.
"Why do you say that?" Amy asked trying to find something else to look at
"Well because Matt said that you were acting odd this morning and you just now told me that you are hiding something because you won't look straight into my eyes," Ty said with a smirk.
Amy tried to hide the tears in her eyes because the last time that she cried in front of Ty she was about 11 years old when her father didn't come home for 2 months because of a "business" thing that he had to go to in Australia, but now she was trying not to cry in front of Ty when she was 16 years old because her father was never coming home.
