The foridden shadows

Grave Yard

I lay down on my bed looking at the ceiling above me waiting for life to move on.

“Huuuggh” I sighed with boredom thinking if I would make any friends in this new environment. Feeling more ashamed of my past like ever before. I looked up to see if the rain had stopped falling from the clouds. I walked towards the living room leaning against the window wondering what it must be like to have a normal life not having half of you (soon to be full) of you a monster. I put on my dirty sneakers and headed for the door when suddenly “Going somewhere?” I turned to see the one family member I absolutely hated my cousin Gary. “What’s it to you?” I asked “You know they’ll never forgive you Emma” Gary said I opened the door and slammed it and heard Gary chuckle. I walked a few miles then turned the corner. I walked into the cemetery and and when i saw what i was looking for i stood their still, I felt tears sliding down my cheek looking at the two names on the stones Elizabeth and Howard Hullingter. "I'm so sorry" i said in a quiet voice feeling empty inside. Then i heard foot steps coming in the graveyard. Curious to see who the stranger was i looked up and saw a boy probably 16 by the looks of it my age, he looked up and saw me staring at him.

"Oh" he said starting to walk towards the exit.

"No it's ok i was just going" i said he turned around and looked at me then at a stone he set down a couple of purple flowers near the stone and then walked off to the exit again. "Wait", i yelled and put down the yellow flowers on the two stones splitting the flowers in half, but when i looked up again he was gone. Looking around myself i couldn't see him he couldn't have ran that fast? i asked myself. I sighed and started to walk home.

When i returned home gary gave me a glare, what else was new i went to my room ignoring him as usual. I started thinking about the guy i'm supposed to marry, the guy my family picked out , he was rich, rude, aggresive and so vain. I leaned over my bed opening the night stand drawer. I took out my cd player and listened to jackson robert our town pianoist. I closed my eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
