November
We got new neighbors today, the Moriarty's I think their name was. They had five children. I believe Charlie said the oldest was a sophomore. I saw her unpacking earlier from my bedroom window… the window he used to NO!!! I WILL NOT THINK ABOUT HIM!!! She had bright red hair, the color of Victoria's wild mane, but this girl's was tamer. She was laughing at her brothers and sisters squabbling but took control when the younger brother lunged at the youngest girl. She calmed him down quickly almost like Jasp…
We, Charlie and I, were walking over to greet them when I heard it. It was coming from the oldest girl's boom box that she had put on the porch so everyone could listen to it while they unloaded the cars. The song that explained everything I was feeling, and emptiness, a numbness of not feeling or caring.
If the world turned into ashes
If the sun forgot too shine
It would never make a difference
To this lonely heart of mine
If the oceans rushed around me
If every star should fall
If the world turned into ashes
I wouldn't care at all
She brought her love my way
And laid it down
And so I picked it up
I wore it like a crown
Then one cruel summer night
So silently
She took her love and left a goodbye note to me
If the world turned into ashes
If the sun forgot too shine
It would never make a difference
To this lonely heart of mine
If the oceans rushed around me
If every star should fall
If the world turned into ashes
I wouldn't care at all
She brought her love my way
And laid it down
And so I picked it up
I wore it like a crown
Then one cruel summer night
So silently
She took her love and left a goodbye note to me
If the world turned into ashes
If the sun forgot too shine
It would never make a difference
To this lonely heart of mine
If the oceans rushed around me
If every star should fall
If the world turned into ashes
I wouldn't care at all
If the world turned into ashes
I wouldn't care at all
I was crying and slightly shaking as the song ended I hadn't realized it until the red-haired girl asked me if I was okay. I shook my head and turned to walk back to the house when she asked "do you want to talk about it?"
and for some reason I did….
