Hi! I know I shouldn't be writing this and I should be continuing with Winning you but I just had the idea from when I was listening to Green Day's song "Wake me up when September Ends" and it's meaning. Skye's 'painful' speach was based on Billie Joe's when his dad died when he was 11. He said something along those lines, and the distance between Skye and her mom (Natara) was based on a drama production I saw some girls do when I was in music. Anyway please read and review! Please!
3 Years Ago…
I was just eleven, I was at my father's funeral. The gentle early September breeze sent a chill down my spine. He and I are so close, or should I say were… My mother was talking about him. About how much of a fantastic partner he was. She was crying, so was I, So was Aunt Amy and Uncle Kai. They weren't my real Aunt and Uncle but they are close friends of my… mother. It seems so strange not mentioning my father as well. Like a huge part was gone, disappeared at the seams. My mother stopped talking. It was my turn, the moment I was not looking forward to. As she sat down I slowly rose and brushed away parts of my blonde hair that got stuck to the black trail of mascara. I walked slowly towards the microphone.
"Hi, most of you know me but if not. My name is Skye, Skye Fallon. There's so much I could say about my father. He loved to spoil me and he called my 'Princess Skye'" I found it so hard to talk about him that way. It was almost as if I was describing a cartoon character but with emotion. "H-He was killed on the job. I-I already miss him s-so much." The old church bell rang on the hour. Ding, ding, ding. It all then sunk in. He was gone. No more. Never again. Forever. I broke down into tears. Some people walked up to me for comfort. I just shook them off. I ran home. I didn't care what they thought. I was miserable! My father had died and all I could think of was how he would never come back, ever! I pick-locked the front door open and locked myself in my bedroom. Later that day my mother walked up to my bedroom door
"Skye? Are you ok?"
"What do you think?"
"Skye…"
"No! It's all too painful! I just want it to end! Wake me up when it ends! Wake me up when September ends." I locked myself in my room for the rest of September. My mother tried to get me out but I just couldn't. I didn't want to face the horrible face of reality. She placed food and a drink outside my door and I opened it when she was gone. I spent most of my time crying. Afterwards things were never the same between me and my mother. There was always this distance between us. That could never be fixed. Ever
