7:57 o'clock. Just anouther night of watching TV, Washing her hair, cleaning her room, mabey do some homework for school. Thinking about her life and what she could do and should have done ,but then again she did'nt want life to be a soap oprea or an afterschool special she got enough of school as it is. Being only 15 years old and a sophmore at her highschool, she should'nt expect that much out of life when she was at a young age says her mom and dad. But what did they know? They divorced 4 years ago....but she wasnt upset about it, she was kinda glad about it cause she did'nt want her parents to be sad even though they mad her so mad she wanted to run away a couple of times. They werent the worse of her family though, she really disliked her sister with a hugh passion, her sister would sometimes blame they're parents divorce on her but it did'nt bother her. Then there was her friends but...nah! Lets not get into that!
Lying on her bed in her mothers house in her room, she felt like she wanted to fall asleep but it was a school night and she still did'nt finish her homework for 3rd period. God how she hated that class, homework every single night!Oh well, she could finish it in 1st tomorrow. Getting off her bed and looking in her mirror she saw what she sometimes liked to see and sometimes did'nt like to see. She saw herself...long brown hair half-way down to her back, bright green eyes with long lashes. Most of the time she liked herself for who she was and how she acted,but yet...she felt like at school and in front of her friends she had to put on an act and say the right things, heck, everyone on the world had to go through that in highschool. Her friends tell her shes a silly,funny girl but everyone looked at her like she was a little girl sometimes she wanted to be taken seriously.
Of course she wasnt the totally depressed,drug adict suicidal goth like those on tv and in her school. She did'nt want ANY drama,she want comedy and to play Misses. Brightside but eventually drama finds her.
"ALICE! Time for supper!"Called her mom from downstairs.Supper? This late? Wondered Alice. Alice in wonderland...thats what her friends call her, she was always curious and asked people alot of questions.
"Coming mom!"Alice went down the stairs and ran past her sister who was always on the computer. Her sister was 23 years old and still living with their mom! "She needs to get a life" ,thought Alice.
"Honey you got a letter from your dad",Said Alices mom. Alice and her mother looked somewhat alike, her mom had green eyes, same face stucture,but her mom had blonde hair where as Alice had brown hair.
Alice looked at the letter from her dad, it read: Alice Gardner,272 Dolly Springs, South Carolina.
At least her dad got the adress right this time...
She opened the letter and a note with a necklace came out. No money this time from her dad. She looked at the necklace, it was a beautiful amber color with a red tint to it,red was her favorite color. She read the note from her dad:
Alice,
I hope things are going well for you at your mothers, I found this necklace in some old boxes your mother gave to me by mistake. I thought mabey you could haveit if your mother doesnt mind. Rmember to write me back I miss you so much.
Love,
Richard Mitchell(a.k.a DAD)
Her dad did'nt have to sign his full name! But that was her dad, business like as usual. She remeber when her mom and dad divorced her mom changed her last name back to her old one which was Gardner.
"Did dad send any money", asked her sister Carol.
"Nope. He gave me this strange necklace though",Answered Alice. Carol was very different looking from Alice,Carol had brown hair and brown eyes and took more of her dads side of the family. Yet Alice felt closer to her dad then her mom and her sister felt closer to their mom then their dad.
Alice watching her sister get up and grab her car keys to probably go to her boyfriends house.
"Guess its just you and me having supper here tonight", Said her mom.
Alice went into the kitchen to put her dads letter in the box next to the calender where she kept all her dads letters. She looked at the calender, April 7th it read. She then looked beside the calender and stopped at a picture of her aunt Lisa. She never got to meet her aunt Lisa before, her mom told her that aunt Lisa was a kind,gentle woman who worked as a nurse to help sick people. Her mom also told her after aunt Lisa got transvered to a Hospital in a town called Silent Hill and mysteriously dissappeared soon after. She remember how upset her mom looked when she talked about this. She looked at the picture again and saw aunt Lisa's Green eyes, just like her and her mom's eyes,and she saw her red hair, mom said aunt Lisa also liked the color red.
Then Alice did'nt start to feel very well. Like having poison injected in you through a needle kind of sick. Then all she wanted to do was lie down and go to sleep again.
"Mom, I don't feel very good. I think I'll skip dinner and go to bed."
"Now Alice if you go to bed on an empty stomach you won't feel good in the morning. You can't miss anymore days of school!"Said her mom.
"Its ok mom that will be my problem. I just wanna lie down."
"ok, good night sweetie."Her mom gave her a good night hug and kiss. Alice wnet upstair and got ready for bed then collapsed on her bed and quickly fell asleep.
