Rainy May
I remember the flowers dancing in the wind. Everyone was being nicer than usual. Acting like everything was peachy and happy. It’s amazing how you think something could last forever but if you look away for just one second and it’s gone.
I walked outside into the heavy wind trying to push me over. As I got into the car I was asked multiple questions. I answered most of them with a question. I got out of the car to walk into the house and all of a suddend it felt like time stopped. My gut and mind told me to turn around and don’t walk into the house. But I walked in anyway and smelled the flowers that my mom picked from our graden.They always made the house smell fresh. But as I walked into the kitchen I saw my mom by the stove walking away like she didn’t want to look at me. She called me into the living room and told me to sit down. As I pasted by the tabel I saw a vase of colorful flowers trying to lean in on our conversation. I sat down and looked at mom she had a glimmer in her eye and she came closer to me and put her hands on mine. At that moment time stopped.
My heart dropped all the way down to my feet. I couldn’t move my body froze. I felt my mom staring at me. She tried to give me a hug but I pushed her away and went to get up. But she had grabbed my arm and as I went to make her let go I wacked the vase and water started pouring out like a waterfall. As I opened my eyes i’m laying down stairing at the ceiling. I get up and go to my room and call my grandma. I didn’t believe anyone nor did I talk to anyone.
I took me awhile to really understand what happened. I became distant from everyone. Nothing made sense to me, everything was floating in outer space. I didn’t smile or laugh either. It took me awhile to get back up on my feet and be happy. But everytime I was happy someone will ask “How are you doing or What happened to you?” It hurt for awhile but I started to ignore people. I didn’t really talk to no one. At school I would either cry or just lisen to music.
