Charlotte sat on the bus watching the streets pass by in blurs like always. Music was blaring into her head through sucky headphones, because Amyy had broken her good ones. But the music still helped. It helped a lot. It always calmed her down and took away the pain that her mind brought her. No one or nothing else could ever save her from the things she tried to forget. Everyone else walked around all happy with smiles on their stupid faces. Though, she didn't know how. She didn't remember how to be happy. Not after everything that happened to her and everything she came to know. The bus stopped in front of her house and she got off as fast as she could. She walked inside with a smile on her face like everything was fine and dropped off all of her homework. Then, she ran down to the woods near her house and sat on her fallen tree that was a few feet off the ground. She started to sing along with the music, knowing that no one else would hear her there. Charlotte stayed there for about an hour and then headed back home.
She stayed downstairs, since everyone else was upstairs. A few minutes later, Amyy walked down the stairs talking on the phone to one of her annoying friends. Charlotte tried to ignore her, but her sister knew what got on her nerves and kept using them against her. That made Charlotte mad. She jumped up off the couch and smacked her sister across the face. Hard. Then, of course, Amyy started to fake cry and whine to their mom. Like always, she was on Amyy's side. Charlotte didn't even bother trying to say anything or listen to what her mom was saying. She just went to her room and locked the door. Then, went into her closet and sat in the dark crying for nearly thirty minutes.
She dried her eyes and started blinking to make the wateriness go away. Then, she waited a few minutes before leaving to make sure the redness had went away. She walked back downstairs, blocking out everything that Amyy said. She grabbed the computer and went back upstairs without even looking at her sister. She walked back into her room, sat down on her bed, turned on the TV, and then started up the computer. As she flipped the channel to something good, she went on to YouTube and Fanfic. She put in her headphones once more as Linkin' Park started off and she began to read someone's story. After about two hours, she finally started her homework.
It was 8:15 when Charlotte got done with it all. She went downstairs and made herself dinner. She didn't have to deal with Amyy, because she was in their mom's room. She sat on the couch to eat, since they didn't have a kitchen table anymore. When she was done, she started reading some more in the new book she started. After a few chapters, she started watching TV trying to block out all the sadness that her mind caused her every day. Then, she fell asleep on the couch like she did almost every night. That's right. She didn't text anyone or chat with her friends on Facebook throughout the day like most other high school kids. She just sat alone in her own bubble trying to escape the fact that she was all alone in this world and that no one else would ever see it. That she was the only kid that saw and heard the things she did and actually felt something about it. That she understood and didn't comprehend more of everything around her than anyone else on Earth.
