She's Gone Again Ch. 1 Part 2

A piercing scream escapes my lips. The truck hit Courtney… right in front of my eyes. The truck skidded off as soon as it happened. I run over and she’s just lying there. “Someone help!” I yell. Soon after the ambulance arrives and I explain the story. They take Courtney away in the ambulance. 

A police officer drives me to school. I walk in the building and the halls are completely empty. Then I spot Vonte. He walks over hugs me. “Hey baby.” he said softly.  My eyes must still be red because he asks me what’s wrong. “Nothing, I don’t really want to talk about it.” I say. He’s say okay and goes to class. I walk to first block. I hate this class the teacher is always in my face about everything.

“Why are you late Vanessa?” Mr. Santana says sternly. “Uh, why are you on my jock? I was excused because of an incident this morning.” I said annoyed.  I walk over and sit down by Amber. We talk for the rest of the class.

The bell is really loud as I’m standing right next to it. I stand in the hall for a minute watching people pass. Vonte grabs my hand and we walk out the side door. We walk every afternoon to go pick up Desiree. As we walk I tell him everything about that has happened over these 2 days. After getting Desiree we go home. “Are you sure you’re okay?” he said concerned.  “I’m fine.” I say. Vonte kisses me goodbye and I walk in the house.

While Desiree is taking a nap I watch TV and get on twitter. Nicki Minaj is who keeps me going every day. I just sit and think about that time when she called me. She was doing her Ustream. That was the first time I ever talked to her. That was the best day of my life!

The doorbell rang and it was my daddy…                                                                                                          

She's Gone Again Ch. 1 Part 1

I lie in my bed thinking, my eyes puffy and red. *Why?! She only thinks about herself. She hates me and my sister. Why did she have kids in the first place!* I cried until I fell asleep.

I was awakened the next morning by crying. It was Desiree. I walked into the hallway and saw her sitting on the floor.  “Is mommy here?” I said. She shook her head. I don’t even know why I asked. My mother is never home. I picked her up and went to run her bath water. She told me that mommy was with daddy.

After getting both of us dressed I went downstairs and saw a note on the table. It was from Nana. It read: I had to go to the doctor’s office. Can you please take Desiree to daycare and buy some more wipes and diapers? I left 20 dollars on the table. Love, Nana.

I packed ours bags and grabbed my keys. I’m walking down the street and Trey walks up to me. “Hey Vanessa!” he said quite enthused. “I’m not really in the mood today Trey, sorry.” I said hoarsely. “Okay.” He said he gave a candy to Desiree and walked away.

I walk to the store, get the stuff and drop Desiree off at daycare. Walking to school is a pretty short walk. There is a girl named Courtney walking in front of me. Coming down the street is a truck driving really fast so I wait to cross. Courtney is listening to music and doesn’t stop. 

The truck comes to a screeching stop but it’s too late.
