CHAPTER FOUR.
It was a rainy day, and I was out with Jen. Still sad of course still empy, as usual. Every time I would look at that house down the street I would see Mathew in my mind. Some elderly couple had already moved in and I was feeling more and more broken each day.
"It's going to be alright Kristen." Jen said smiling.
I believed her. I had never felt like this before so it was my first time. The first time's always the worst. But school started tomorrow and I had to cheer up.
It was early in the morning and I wasn't use to getting up. I made my way to school and got my list for my classes. Luckily Jen and I had 2 classes together. I was so thankful I had someone with me to get through the day.
"Kristen....? IS THAT YOU?!" A group of girls came toward me laughing and smiling. I hadn't seen them for a long time because I had to go to school where my grandmother lived. "We've missed you!" Catherine said.
We caught up with each other during lunch, and I found out I had classes with them too.
What felt like a long day, was over quicker then I thought. I walked home a little depressed thinking of everyday like this. Every school day, without anything to look forward to. I didn't know how long I would be living with my uncle.
I went inside and closed the door, watched TV. When I got bored of that, I thought about everything.... my friends, parents, and uncle.
I started to cry. I sat there and cried until I saw something down the street. It wasn't Mathew like I had hoped but someone else.
Jen was there walking alone. She came up to me.
"You ok?" She said
"Yeah. I just feel so alone."
"You need someone, Kristen you need someone to date…."
"No! I don't need anyone. I'm fine by myself."

"Kristen! Kristen!" Someone was saying far off into the distance.
I felt someone pushing me.
"Kristen! Get up!"
My eyes opened and I took a deep breath choking on some water. I turned over and I could feel my side hurting. Wet drops of water were failing on me and I heard thunder rolling the sky.
"Kristen! What are you doing out here?!" My uncle grabbed my hands and pulled me up.
I walked inside shivering. It was 2 in the morning.
"I… I…I must have fallen asleep…"
"Outside! On the patio?!?!?! Why outside?" He looked at me confused.
Walked upstairs and took a warm shower and went to bed.
