Chapter Ten

I walked downstairs and found my dad sitting in from of the Screen, watching and football game.

"Dad, I. I have something to tell you." I said.

He grunted his response.

"Mom." I hesitated. "Mom's dead."

He looked up at me with a tired expression.

"Buddy," he started, "I know you're having a hard time with her death, especially around now when it's her anniversary, but, Son, after five years, doncha think it's time to move on?"

I stared at him while my mind raced. Five years? That's not possible. I just saw her five minutes ago! My dad was forgetting.

"I'm going out," I muttered as I walked out the door. I had to go somewhere - anywhere - to think. My heart was pounding as I ran down the driveway and stopped. I'd take the car.

I drove wildly, breaking just about every rule possibly until I got to Central Park, so thankful that there weren't any Uniforms around.

I looked around the car for something to do. On the floor next to me was my journal, and I picked it up.

I wanted to burn it. I thought that, perhaps, if I burned it, everything would go back to the way it was.

Instead, I opened it. I opened it, took a pen out of my pocket, and scribbled madly over everything that I had written. It was crazy - everything was crazy! Place, this world, this life!

Somebody else had control of my life. I couldn't let that happen.

I need to be in control.!

It's my life to run.!

Mine, and no one else's!

My life! My control!

I look out my window and there It stands.

Closing Comments~ I sure do love my cliffhangers. Ooh!! And I'm flying out to Wisconsin this weekend for my brother's soccer tournament, so I've got no time to update until I get home. Sorry guys. I guess you'll just have to wait until I get back. Have a nice weekend! Luv~ ToT
