We're not as strong as we seem.
We get in trouble.
We get hurt.
And the people we care about the ones we don't intend to hurt get caught in the crossfire because of our petty jealousy.
But no matter what we still try to salvage what life we have to cling to.
It started out with a fight. But isn't that how it always starts out?
Then like that she was shipped across to the other side of the country without given a choice. Three thousand miles just so her parents could get rid of the child that apparently shamed them. But could she really blame them? She was told that she was going to Spenser and that it was a well respected school. That she would find her place in the world and learn respect. She tried to argue with her parents she even got on her knees and begged but her mom was too busy crying while taking down another drink and her father was shaking her and yelling at her.
But as she got off the plane she just stood there. It was fall now. The start of a new school year and she was a senior. She wanted to just run and forget about it all and she was sure that if she did her parents wouldn't even care. Not anymore. Not after what happened. They had had enough and she knew it.
So she stood there unsure of where she was supposed to go. No one gave her any direction.
Looking around the bustling airport she noticed a young man making his way over towards her. She thought it was one those who would try to pick her up like back home so she just acted as if she hadn't noticed him.
"Are you Valerie Nolan?" the young man asked
He had rusted colored hair that covered his eyes. He also had a look of boredom but she didn't try to get to into it.
She looked over at the young man.
"Uh…yeah I am."
"Right then, I'm supposed to take you to Spenser." He said as he gestured for her to go ahead of him
She did so heading for the pickup area for luggage. The young man didn't give her his name he just helped grab her things and head out to parking lot.
"You go ahead and get in I'll put your stuff in." he said
She nodded and got into the passenger's side. She sighed as she looked out the window. She just reached into her pocket and fumbled as she pulled out her IPod. Blasting it the song 'Just A Dream' by Nelly flowed through her ears. A few minutes later the boy got in.
"Nice car." she mumbled
"Thanks, it's a GTO." He said
"I know." She said
He looked at me for a second then turned the key in the ignition. Watching the scenery pass by she thought to herself. She'd change…things would change. They had to. It wasn't an open ended option either.
