Things can't just go on like this. I need to be alone sometimes. My mom went into my room and said "Hon I'm sorry we can spend time together or you can call your friend and have a sleepover with them." "Mom I'm not in a mood right now, could I go with a trip to my friend instead?"


"No! It is too dangerous out there you could easily get kidnapped or worse! Listen, you can never ever go out there." "But-" "No buts understood?" "I understood mom." Ever since my brother died my mom has been this way not letting me outside.

She doesn't wanna lose me too,but I never had the chance to explore the world. She wouldn't even let me go to school! Not that I don't like being homeschool. I just wanna be outside for once.


The only reason why I have a friend is because he come to my house. I supposed speading times with my him can feel a lot better. "Mom I'm going call my Max and they will arrive soon!" "Sure hon." My mom yelled. As I was going to call my friend,he was already at my door,grinning. My mom opened the door and they went in like a tiger chasing a prey. "Woah woah boy slow down don't run like that!" My mom yelled.


"You guys go do your things,I'm going cook dinner." "Yes mam." We said. "We should sneak out in midnight your mom won't notice a thing." Max said. "Max,you know I can't go outs-." "Yeah yeah blah blah blah you don't even have the chance to explore the world just give it a shot also you will be driving." "I can't drive..." "No one cares, just do it!" "Well I do." "Okay fine if you crash my car you don't have to pay." I think about it for a moment. I never got a chance to explore the world,but it is also dangerous outside according to what my mom said. "Fine." "Great!"


I feel bad for leaving my mom at midnight. It just thing wasn't going well between her and me. Time flies fast. It was already midnight by the time we watched TV. "You ready Bella?" "Sure I am!" "But let me leave my mom a note really quick." "You better be quick." "I will."


Dear mom,I love you and never had the chance to explore the world. I promise you I will be back safe and sound. I miss you mom. It will only be a few days. Love Bella.


"You sure you want to do it?" he asked, "I sure do, but aren't you the one who wants me to do it?" I replied, "Alright let go, remember you are driving." "Okay okay I get it."


I drive slowly because I don't want to crash. "You drive slow as a turtle." he said "Shut up!" I mean he isn't wrong. "Why don't we drive over the dark wood?" "That surely isn't a good idea." "Just drive fast, remember you don't have to pay if you crash." "Alright fine if I crash your car it's not my fault." I drive as fast as he wants me to. "Not too fast!" Then I crash.


Uh morning already? My head hurts,where am I? I see a body laying there. Brown hair,blue eyes,and his clothes are torn. I don't remember him. One thing for sure I got to help him. I pick up my phone and try to call the police and ambulance,but I can't seem to remember the numbers. Where should I place him? There was a car in front of me,but it was broken. I should find some supplies around or at least a first aid kit.


My mom teaches me how to take care of an injured person and I treat him well enough! Well not too well, just need to find a place to make him rest. There is a broken car. I place him there hoping he will rest well. I can't leave him alone,but I had to find a way to get back home so I stayed with him till a stranger said that she would stay with him and she did. She told me the way back home is the dark forest.


I thanked her and went into the dark forest. The forest was pretty dark even tho day. I feel shivers as I keep walking. "Bella help me and once you help me, let's get out of here." a voice said. I turn around and see a boy calling out my name and I see a girl that was me? Helping that boy and as soon the boy almost escape it been pushed back into the dark window he screams and begging to live. Then his screaming stopped. "Bella, I'm dead because of you." another voice said. "Leave me alone." I yelled. "Why should I? Just look at me now, you are the one who crashed the car." "I never crash any car I don't even drive!" I don't even remember driving. "Just give it a look." "Leave me alone." "I will leave you alone after you watch this." "No, I won't watch it."


"Wanna see how your brother died?" Another voice said. My brother died outside,but this voice is telling me something I don't know yet. I need to see how he died. "Show me." "As you wish, take a look." A girl playing with a boy soon after the girl accidentally pushes the boy into the river. The girl tried to help,but it was too late. The boy was deep inside the water. She ran away back home crying in tears. "That was how your brother died." "You killed me." "This isn't real right?" "It real don't you feel guilty?" "This can't be real." "Well,it is" "Oh, have I forget our mother have been searching for you." My mother,no she can't search for me now. What if she died? Was it all my fault? I feel thirsty and hungry.


I found a water well and was about to drink it but a head appeared. Blood over their hair, blood everywhere in the water well. The head looks familiar. "Mom?" "You see it's your fault." "This isn't real, this isn't real." "Oh but it is, why don't you touch it." I poke at it feeling terrifying and scream. Mom is dead?! It is all my fault my brother and my mom died all because of me. I couldn't find a way home, instead I felt lost.


If things doesn't end well for my familys. Things wouldn't go well for me. I feel lost because of me everything was my fault.
