The Adventure of a life time
Chapter1
Hurt
Its cold outside. I hate the cold. I don't know how I got to where I am now. I think it started when my Mum left us. My Dad then fell into depression and I became alone. He gets food in for me and takes care of me but he just seemed so hollow when he speaks now. Hearing the sadness in his voice just makes me want to give up, but I don't and why. I think its because...because...I have no idea. I just wish I had the courage to talk to my dad and try to help him, but whenever I mention Mum he just stops talking. I feel like I'm going to scream. I want to scream, but what would it accomplish.
My name is Bethany Heart by the way, and I make no apologise for the sad beginning to this story. If I'm going to tell you about how I got to where I am then I will do it properly and I will not candy coat anything. You've been warned, so If you don't feel like reading on then feel free to stop, but if you are willing to read on then great. I thank you for putting up with the story I feel I must tell.
About two weeks after my Mum had left us I go back to school. My Dad sends a friendly smile my way and gives me a goodbye hug. He hugs me tight like he fears he will lose me too, but he will never lose me. I love him to much. I hate my Mum for doing what she did to him, But I'll save that story for later.
I go to school feeling just as hollow as my Dad does. I need a friend and I know I'm not going to find one at school. I've always been a loner in high school. I'm just so socially awkward and I'm not a huge people person. I'm more of a Pokemon person, although I have never been sure whether to pursue a career as a Pokemon trainer or breeder. It doesn't help when your Mum never supported you and your Dad is feeling to down in the dumps to support you in anything that you do.
School was a nightmare. I thought the day would never end. I did enjoy English class though. I love writing fiction. I love seeing a character start in one place and end in another. I love the journey as the character changes. This is one of my reasons for writing this story. Writing also makes me want to go on an adventure; an adventure to open my eyes to the wide and beautiful world we live in. I hear that the Calos regain is beautiful once one gets out there.
I'm walking home after the a long day of school. It's amazing how tired one can feel from doing not much. I guess I'm a sixteen year old who simply desires more then what she can currently achieve right now. That's why I get so bored I think. My foot catches on something and I fall over. My knee smashes into the ground. I grit my teeth from the pain and sit up. I feel angry until I see what has coursed me to fall. 'Oh my' I say sounding heart broken as I look upon the Sand Shrew before me. It looks at me with its black deep eyes. I look into its eyes and want to cry. I expect her to runaway, but she doesn't. She just sits there. I quickly figure out that its probably because of the deep cut down her side and the wound on her leg. 'Shrew' she whimpers. I'm not about to leave her behind so I pick her up and hug her close. 'Shrew' It whimpers in pain 'Its Okay' I say sounding like I'm going to cry, 'I got you Diggie'
