(authors note the italicized text is sara thinking)
I know that was some deep conversational thought but it is true. Why are we here and what is our purpose? I couldn't stop thinking about it as the sun went down and the darkness engulfed me.
7:43am
Waking up isn't like it is portrayed in the movies, you already know your up before your eyes even open a crack. Thats how it always happens to me anyway, but not this morning. There is a loud crash of metal below, my eyes burst apart. It takes a moment to realize where I am.
Okay, in my room check.
Sometimes I wake up in the dark moldy attic with only Emily there. My heart races, I can never seem to get enough air, but a second later I remember that I don't live there anymore. I am safe in the comfort of my own room and Miss Minchin can't get a hold of me.
Taking a second to put on my glasses (who knew that as children get older they can develop more problems, well not me) and I am rushing down the stairs. When I get there I breath a sigh of relieve, its just dad trying to cook; since his incident they told him to take a few years off and when he feels like it he can come back. Well since the time off, they decide they didn't need him and he could relax and just raise me. I know I should love all this time he spends on me but I can't stand the mush he calls breakfast.
As he sees me in the door way of the kitchen he smiles and asks what i would like to eat.
"Nothing dad, but thanks without you I would be late to the last day of primary school"
"Well what are dads here for?" he laughs
With that big obstacle out of the way, I walk back up stairs and get ready. I slip on a rose gold colored dress, pin my hair back and then grab my bag as I run out the door.
Walking up to the school, I have this sense that somethings not right. Looking around a see a little boy out of the corner of my eye, but when I fully turn my head he is gone.
Well thats not a good sign.
And boy was I right.
