Song for this chapter: A Bad Dream by Keane
My hands were holding the steering wheel of the car tightly. My knuckle's white from the effort. I was angry, well more annoyed. He was pissing me off. Couldn't he just shut up for five minutes.
"Shut up." I growled. Daniel laughed from the seat beside me and that just made me angrier. "I hate you." I yelled. "Your seriously the most annoying brother ever." I snapped. "yeah but you love me." Daniel laughed. "No, I really don't." i answered with venom in my voice I looked over to see him sitting in his seat with a cocky grin.
I was still angry but seeing him looking all smug and whispering "Yes you do, I'm your favorite brother, Your only brother. You have to love me." I couldn't help but smile. I ignored him. "I'm sorry jingle bells,come on forgive a guy." he smiled. I turned to smile at him when suddenly he screamed my name.
Everything suddenly happened so fast as if time had sped up. I still managed to see the look on Daniel's face as the truck hit us head on. I wasn't looking at the oncoming truck. My eyes were focused solely on Daniel's face . The complete terror and fear that was etched onto his features. The panic in his eyes.
Time froze and I was stuck staring into Daniel's frightened eyes reflecting my own terrified features back at me. I couldn't look away, I knew what was coming but I just couldn't look away. Time began again and that pause which seemed to go on forever was gone and I was left with the Image of Daniel's head hitting the window blood and glass everywhere. There was no sound except for my blood curdling scream.
I jerked awake in my bed. Sitting up panting, holding my hand over my heart which was beating furiously in my chest. My vision was blurry from the tears that were pouring from my eyes,down my cheeks and landing on my bed covers. My entire body was shaking from the loud sobs that were being forced from my chest and throat.
I put my hand over my mouth trying to muffle the sound hoping that Charlie wouldn't hear.
"It was just a nightmare, just a nightmare, it's over, it's over." I kept repeating it in my head over and over trying to convince myself. Eventually, how long I'm not sure but eventually my sobbing stopped until I had just a few slow tears rolling down my face. I looked at the clock it read 6:55. It wasn't going to go off for another twenty minutes.
I forced myself to get up out of the bed and walked towards the bathroom on shaky legs. When I got there I switched the water on and decided to take a shower, hoping that it would stop the tears and maybe help get rid of the pounding headache I had.
Fifteen minutes later I stepped out feeling clean and less tired. My tears had stopped and my headache although still there was ten time better than before the shower.
I wrapped myself in a towel and walked towards the bathroom mirror looking at my reflection. I looked tired and my eyes were slightly red and puffy. I knew the redness would be gone by the time I got downstairs. I looked at my hair in the mirror. It was long and brown, it looked almost black because it was wet so that really made by pale white skin standout, it was in knots and tangles.
I grabbed a brush and began dragging it through the mess trying to make it look a little bit more decent. When I was finished I looked back in the mirror. I wasn't in the mood to blow dry it and I knew that it would be a frizzy mess if I just left it, it seems I was having a bad hair day.
Usually I could just let it dry and it would be fine,curly and I guess kinda pretty but not today. Today it didn't want to co-operate. I sighed grabbing a hair tied and pulling it into a messy pony tail, at this point I couldn't care less. I mean it's not like I really paid attention to my appearance very often.
I exited the bathroom still in my towel and bumped into Charlie on my way out. I blushed bright red when Charlie look down at what I was wearing he blushed a little too. "I...em..eh...sorry, sorry." he stuttered. I would have laughed if I weren't so embarrassed. "Em it's okay...yea sorry...too." I wasn't much better than him. We stood awkwardly looking at anything but each other for a minute.
"Em...I'm gonna go." I mumbled pointing in the general direction of my room and walking around Charlie as fast as possible. I heard him mumble a "Yep...you go that's...awkward..." I stumbled into my room and shut the door behind me leaning against trying to stop blushing.
God that was embarrassing. Note to self: Bring change of clothes into bathroom next time to avoid awkward, embarrassing moments such as these.
when I finally felt I was no longer red I walked towards my suitcase on the floor beside my bed, which i never got around to packing. I zipped it open and searched through it. I grabbed my favorite pair of skinny jeans and then I pulled out the first t-shirt I found. I put them on without really paying much attention and then I walked towards the mirror.
I looked at myself. I was wearing my skinny jeans which were just plain dark weren't fancy but my bum looked good in them. I twirled around and checked it out. they were good, plus they were comfortable,next I looked at the t-shirt I wore it was a band t-shirt which were where what my wardrobe mostly consisted of. Today I was wearing a BLUE OCTOBER one it was black and blue october was written in fancy script in blue and white. It was plain but I loved it.
With that done I went I went over to my bed where my white high-top converse that I had worn yesterday lay from when I pulled them off and tossed them. I picked them up and pulled them on over my stripey socks. I tied the laces and hopped up off the bed.
I took one more glance at the mirror before grabbing my hoodie that lay on the floor before heading downstairs to get breakfast. I wasn't really hungry but I knew that I should eat. I was starting a new school, it was gonna suck and I was going to need all the energy I could get so I grabbed an apple and sat at the table I had a while before I had to leave for school.
Halfway through my apple Charlie entered the kitchen dressed in his work uniform. He walked over to the fridge and pulled out some milk before getting the cereal out of the press. I have to say I was impressed, as far as I could recall Charlie sucked at cooking, as in couldn't cook anything but it was nice to know he at least knew how to make cereal. He smiled and sat down opposite me.
"So first day huh." he asked. "Yep." I replied, I wasn't in the mood for small talk. Nobody spoke a word for a good six minutes after that and I was enjoying the silence until Charlie ruined it. "So..em..I'm gonna drive you to school, bells." I cringed at the nickname and what Charlie was saying. "Oh..No..No you don't need to do that, I can walk dad." I tried to convince him, he wasn't buying it.
"Nonsense, you don't know how to get to the school at least let me drop you off and pick you up for today and you can walk tomorrow." he stated in a tone that made it clear that he was dropping me off at least for today. There wasn't much I could do so I just agreed with him.
I stood up from the table after finishing my apple and I through the core in the trash then turned to face Charlie " I'm going to go upstairs and grab my book bag." I said walking towards the stairs. "I bought you some stuff I thought you might need, Pencils pens, notepads that sort of thing there on your computer desk." Charlie yelled when I was halfway up the stairs.
I yelled back a thanks before running up the rest of the stairs. I entered my room and walked towards the computer desk and there just like Charlie said there would be sat three notepads a box of pencils, a sketchpad, and a set of pens. Awesome I needed a new sketchpad my other one was almost full.
I picked the items up before walking over to my suitcase, pulling out my old book bag and putting everything into it. I grabbed $10 from my purse and shoved it in my front pocket of my jeans before heading downstairs where Charlie would drive me to Forks high school where I was sure I'd have a shitty day.
