If Everyone Cared-Nickelback
- And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died -
Kate was annoyed with her life, annoyed with her sister's way of grieving for her mother was shopping.
Still, just because Kate was annoyed didn't mean she was going to stop giving. She had never really planned on doing so many charity events, but when her mother died her freshmen year, it was the only thing Kate had left of her.
Suddenly, school didn't really mean much other than something to do, not that Kate ever really had to try too hard. Getting good grades was natural to her, as many other things were. She considered herself to be a good person, selfless for the most part, maybe a little too stubborn, but everyone had their quirks.
Too bad some people's quirks were as bad as country music.
And it was too bad that Kate had to find that out the hard way.
High school didn't mean anything to Kate, it was just another obstacle to get through.
It was also too bad that she spent half of it in a blur.
There was no such thing as movie nights with her girl friends. No swooning over what guy to go to prom with. No late night study groups or all nighters right before finals. Instead, all it was…was, just, there. High school was high school and every single kid in her's didn't have a clue.
Kate knew though, she knew all too well and all too fast. It was too bad she was wrapped up in a blanket of depression, gaining back the person she used to be, the person she had never fully become even.
Her life stayed the same once she got back on track, but it cost her sophomore and half of junior year to even come close to what she was before. It wasn't until her sister's wedding day did she finally stop falling.
Life had dealt her hard blows, dug her wounds into salt. Maybe it was the price to pay for being so lucky. Before high school she had it all, a good family, too much money to know what to do with, perfect hair, perfect eyes, she was growing into the perfect body of a women.
And then everything went down will the moment high school swept her away and dragged her into the obsessive nature of perfect grades and becoming a perfect person.
Kate had a choice, she could have given up. She could have stopped living and melt away into herself. Or she could have blamed the sudden beginning of her teenage years. There was so much she could have done, should have done.
She could have been smarter, and not walk alone at night through New York's biggest park.
She could have snapped out of the daze of her mother's death.
She could have kept to herself and not bother helping those in more need than her.
She could have been like her sister.
She could have been like her father.
But she wasn't.
Instead, she chose to stop falling.
