Chapter 3 The start
(AN: Thank you for the reviews, I love to read them and they inspire me to write more chapters. It can take a while for me to update again, because I've got a lot of tests at school... Here is the next chapter. Hope you all like it!)
Bam ...!Amy sits upright in bed ... It is 4 o'clock, 4 O'CLOCK! And she's awake, just like the last few weeks. She keeps having the same nightmares the one of the accident ...
The nightmares started a few weeks ago, and didn't stop. When I get up in the morning, and look in the mirror, I see dark cirkels under my eyes. I knew that grandpa and Lou saw it too, they hear me scream in my nightmares...
I would never admit it to anyone, but it was my fault she died. I wanted to do a few jumps, if I would've go with her than she would be alive... If I hadn't been so focused on jumping, I still had a mother. Now I haven't.
I put on my darkblue jeans and a too big sweater. After I had gotten dressed I went downstairs for breakfirst.
When I came in the kitchen I saw my grandpa sitting at the table.
'Goodmorning...' I mumbeld.
'Hey, did you sleep well?' my grandpa asked worried. Lou came downstairs and heard my grandpa asking. She looked my way curiously.
'Yeaah... I did.' I lied, my grandpa knows I'm lying. But he doesn't say anything about it.
Lou and grandpa looked at each other.
'Amy, Listen.' Started grandpa. 'Lou and I think that how you're doing now isn't healty anymore. You barely eat and sleep. I can hear you almost everynight screaming in your sleep. It's like you don't have any life left in you.' Said grandpa.
'I really difficult to see you like this Amy, and it isn't healty anymore. We know you have a hard time dealing with mom, but you need to get over this.' Lou tells me with an worried look.
And I'm just standing there, speechless. I know what they say is true, but I just don't want to believe it. My mother died! What did they except, that I would be jumping around with a big smile on my face.
'JUST STOP!' I yell. 'I'm fine, and I don't need anybody to worry about me, I can handle myself.' I tell them.
'Amy, we all know that's a lie!' Says Lou. 'We can see you lost weight, and don't think for a moment that those dark circels aren't there! You even lost the sparkle in you eyes, Amy.' Lou said desperate.
I glared at Lou. Then my grandpa spoke: 'Lou's right Amy, that's why we decided that it would be best if you would go to a new school. A new start for you.'
What?! I have to leave everything behind!? I thought.
'No, I can't go to a new school! I need to stay here and help with the horses!' I tell them.
'Not this time Amy, we already informed at Jefferson High, and you start tommorrow, you can start packing after breakfirst and then we will leave.' My grandpa said sternly.
I felt tears prick in my eyes, and my sight became glassy. Lou saw, 'Amy, we just want to do what's best for you, Sundance can come with you. And you'll share your dorm with a couple of really nice people.' Lou said, trying to comfort me.
A new start? That means that nobody know who I am of what happend to me. That actually sounded not so bad.
I nod, 'okay, I will go.' I said quietly.
The rest of the day I was busy packing my stuff, grandpa wanted to leave around 3 O'clock. That way we would be at Jefferson high at 4 O'clock.
I walked into the kitchen. 'I'm ready...' I said while looking at the ground. Lou looked up from the work she was doing.
'Okay, I already put Sundance his stuff together.' She said quietly.
'Okay, thanks...I guess' I said.
There was an awkward silence between me and Lou. We both didn' t now what to say.
Luckily grandpa walked in, he grabbed my suitcase and sportsbag to put in the car. I got my jacket en another bag.
'Uhmm... Well I'm going to miss you.' I said a bit awkward. I'm not the best person for goodbye's.
Lou stepped forward.'Come here silly.' Said Lou. The she gives me a big hug.
'I'm going to miss you too, make sure you call a lot and ofcourse you come visiting!' She said.
'I will' I said. My eyes became a bit glassy. I quickly looked away and brushed the tears away with my hand.
'Bye' I said to Lou.
Lou gives me another hug. 'See you soon, little sis.'
Grandpa stands by his truck with the trailer behind, he gives me a light smile. I smile back and get in the car. Grandpa starts the car and begins driving. I see Lou waving, and my home becomes smaller and smaller.
Sorry for the grammar mistakes, English isn't my first language. I hope you like it! And please review, I love to read them :)
