Today was a cold day, quite a bad day, if you ask me. It was quiet in my house today, and we all knew why, well apart from Sam, but i think he knew...slightly. The reason behind all this, was that..this was the day....dad died. 4 years ago, it was wet a slipery outside, and dad was rushing home from work, to help mum with dinner, when he lost controll of the car, and hit a tree. When mum found out, it was over the phone, she went really white, as the blood rushed out from her face. Then the tears started. I was 14, and sam was 1, so i was holding him at the time. I quickly put him down on his little chair, and ran over to mum, i started hugging her, and she put her free arm around me. Once she had hung up on the phone, she put her head in her hands, and was sobbing.
I was asking her, the same question 5 times, before she told me. She said "I'm so sorry Hannah darling, but dad has died, in a car crash!" then she started sobbing again, but this time i joined, but i ran up to my room, and cried on my bed for several hours. See the thing was, i was always closer to dad, like i looked more like him, i had his brown hair, i even had his eye colour. We always spent his sunday off together, it didn't matter what we did, we played football, or we went out for lunch, but the thing i liked most about him was that, he listened, and he was always there for me. Mum was always busy with Sam, so i suppose thats when i grew up, thats when i knew, i had to look after myself now. Kind of sad, when you think about it, a 14 year old, realizing she has no-one. I mean sure i had mum, but i didn't have her as much as i would have liked, because she was always with Sam.
I decided to ring Mel, it rang 4 times. "Hello?" said Mel.
"Hey it's Hannah!" i said happily. "HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY! for the 29th of July!" i said, then i laughed.
She was on holiday for a while, so i could wish her a happy birhtday, so better late than never.
"Oh thanks!" she laughed. But she sounded different.
"Um...are you alright?" i asked worried.
"Yes" she said, i could tell she was lying.
"Mel, tell me the truth" i said strongly.
"You sound sad, whats wrong?" she changed the subject, and it was true, today wasn't my favourite day, And it never would.
"Um...nothing.." i paused, wondering if i could say it, without crying, i still wasn;t over it. "Okay, basically, it;s the say when my dad died." I said, then held back the tears.
"Oh, i'm really sorry for asking!" she said apologeticly.
"It's okay...." i trailed off, coz i started getting tears in my eyes. "look, sorry i got to go now!" then i hung up.
I ran up stairs sobbing. Again. Mum came in.
"Honey, there, there, it's alright!" she soothed me, but it wasn;t working. she had gotten over it.
"No...IT ISN'T OKAY, IT NEVER WILL BE, I WILL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, AND THE LAST THING I SAID WAS....MMMMM" i shouted, the last thing i said was 'mmmmm' you know, my morning thing. He was leaving for work, and he always, said bye to me.
"Awwww, baby, calm down, it's okay. i know you were close with him, but it's okay, he is watching over us every day!" she said, then rubed my back.
I sighed, and the tears stopped. I sat up and hugged mum.
"Thanks!" i said, and smiled.
"Honey, i love you, and i am always here for you!" she said.
"Mum, i'm gonna call Mel, and ask if i can see her!" i said.
"Okay, have fun!" she said.
When i called she picked up straight away. "Hannah! HANNAH!" she screammed, "Are you alright?" she said again.
"Yeh, i am better now, can i come over?" i asked nicely.
"Yes, come now, i want to see you!" she said, then i heard Ben from the living room "And i do too!" he said. then i heard something smash, crap mel had thrown something at him.
"Mel don't hurt him!" i said.
"Meh, he deserves it! so come round soon!" she said then hung up.
I walked over, with my ipod playing, i started playing the music dad got me into, rock, he showed me this awesome band, and took me to a concert, they are called 'the white stripes'. They were a great band, but they could do with some bass.
when i arrived, i knocked, then Ben answered "Hey, how are you?" he asked.
"Meh, life sucks, you get used to it!" then i walked in.
"Hey hannah!" mel hugged me. then took me to her room.
"Hi" i said.
"So hows things?" she asked, trying to to hit any soft spots.
"Um...terrible..well i guess only for me, i am not over it, at all." i said, boringly.
"Oh, okay!" she said, i could tell she was putting something off.
"SO hows your life?" i asked, emphisizing your.
"Oh it's okay, umm...Thomas and i...um...you know, again" she said, then flushed a orangey-red colour.
"Oh...again..wow...um..having fun?" i said with a smile.
"Haha! um...yes, but this time, i am worried, i think, see thats the thing, i didn't think and now, i am worried..." she trailed off.
"um...safe?" i asked.
"Yes, yes, yes!" she said quickly. "But you know...." she said.
"Well, then what you worried...about?" i asked, suddenly really confussed.
"umm, i dunno, anything can happen!" she pointed out the obvious. "So have you and Jason?" she asked.
"Nope" we laughed.
"Okay, well Ben really likes you!" she pointed out the obvious, again.
"Okay...i know that, oh yeh he is 16 now, i see what you mean, and NO!" i said, i knew she was asking, if i liked him.
"okay, okay, i was just asking." she said with her hands up, like you were surrendering to a police officer.
Then after i got home, mum had made my favourite meal. Ckicken and chips, lol, i am so easily pleased. Mum made good chips, yum, they were so sofrt, but crunchy, they tasted great too.
I slept well that night, which i normally don't, but i had a weird dream, it was Mel and Thomas, they had something in their arms? WAIT, what? a baby turtle....umm...okay, that was just plain weird. What did this mean? Why was i dreaming about this?
"MORNING ALL, blah blah blah blah blah!" i didn;t catch the rest, it was my new alarm, it set the radio off in the morning.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" i yelled at it.
Then my mobile rang, oh who could that be?
"Hello!" i said.
"Hey, wanna meet me at the river? " said Jess. "Mel's here too!" she said happily.
"Yes, give me 30 mins! I'm just up !" they laughed. gosh, what just coz i liked sleeping, oh crap, i am in a terrible mood.
"Sure sure!" they said.
I practicly, ran to the river, in a summer blue dress, the sun was out today. It had black flowers on it, and the dress was aqua blue, i really liked this dress.
"Hey girls!" i said, trying to be nice, and not take my mood out on them.
"Hi," Jess said.
Then i realized, they wanted to talk. Great, i just loved loads of girl talk.
"So blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!" said Jess, i missed it all i was dazing off, while staring at the water.
"Yep!" Mel said, they looked at me, and then i realized Jess had asked a question. Opps!
"Huh? sorry i dazed off!" i said, a bit angry at myself.
"I said, do you wanna come over for a sleepover tonight?" jess said.
"Yep!" i said, they laughed.
That night at Jess's, we were sitting eating junk, while watching movies, then Mel said, "Have u got any Chocolate?"
"umm...yes, thanks for reminding me, we need to eat our way through that!" she laughed.
"OOHHH! yes, it's milk chocolate!" she said, then grabbed like 9 pieces, then ate them.
"umm...are you craving?" I said, eyeing her worriedly.
"NO, i love chocolate, i am NOT craving!" she said.
Jess whispered in my ear, "It's true, she loves chocolate!" she giggled.
"kay!" why was i nervous, i guess i just had a bad feeling.
When i went back home, mum was watching 'The tellytubbies' with Sam. He loved that show.
When i called Mel, to talk her, it rang 6 times, this was unusual.
"Hi!" said Ben.
"Oh hey, is Mel there?" i asked.
"um...well she is really sick, she has been throwing up and stuff, so i don't think she can talk!" he said. "but i could talk to you!" he offered.
"umm..thats great, but i got to go anyway, sorry Bye " then i hung up. Crap, i hope that wasn't harsh.
Well Mel was sick, oh dear, i wonder what she has?
I was asking her, the same question 5 times, before she told me. She said "I'm so sorry Hannah darling, but dad has died, in a car crash!" then she started sobbing again, but this time i joined, but i ran up to my room, and cried on my bed for several hours.
