Sweet Dreams Chapter One
I wake with a start ,wow weird dream and there it goes gone like the wind I try hard to remember but I get nothing . The only thing I get is that it was important. I have been having these dreams on and off for two years now there always the same thing but now this one was different urgent as if happing soon , inching closer to something but what could it be? I get up from the bed squinting in the bright morning light trying to reach the bathroom without falling I finally make it to the bathroom rubbing the sleep from my eyes
I turn on the bathroom light and take a look at myself in the mirror well bed head of course especially on the first day back to school , a new school ,new people, new teachers and cliques. Which I am an outsider which means I am not welcomed I sigh I can and I will make it through this day weather it kills me or not(if it does I don’t mind) I sigh again I brush my hair down and apply a small amount of lip gloss , my favorite cherry flavored which will only last for a half an hour because I constantly chew at my lip when I am nervous. I head downstairs to see my dad at his computer you can see the stubble on his chin,
The bags under his eyes and the coffee stains on his tie . He’s been working late again that’s why my mom left ,he wasn’t home enough for her she use to brag about how in love they were in high school . I saw there high school photo together, the perfect couple my mom was beautiful and my dad was amazingly handsome they were voted the cutest couple of the senior year. I look at this photo and the sting of tears spring to my eyes I hold it back for dads sake he must be going through hell
Mom ran off with a old boyfriend from junior high one thing lead to another , I came home to see her packing are stuff up ,she said a new scenery would be nice I asked were dad was she looked at me with a mixture of grief ,longing and sadness “he’s working late she says” “oh” is all I say. We leave before dad even I arrives I keep quite knowing she meant to leave him we didn’t even get to say goodbye but now that’s a thing in the past moms gone ….gone means never coming back she six feet under. I cried for days but then I realized I had to get up and make it through the day like every one else my eyes tear and my throat closes just thinking about her I push it out of my thoughts and I say “good morning” he looks up from his lab top and for a brief second he stares at me with disbelief “Veronica?” then he see who it really is “oh hi honey ,sorry …you look so much like your mother…” he says with a sigh his eyes fill with pain all I say is “so whatcha work-in on?”
“uhm… oh just lawyer stuff , you wouldn’t be interested” lawyer stuff does bore me but I say “no really dad what exactly are you working on?”
“oh….uh nothing big really just a woman that wants to sue her husband for every last penny he has”
“mhmkay” I say I grab the milk out from the refrigerator and the cereal up above the plates I grab a bowl down and sit down carefully on one of the stools in our little breakfast nook. he goes back to typing
