The pitch black night sky was filled with stars. If it had been a normal night I would have stood at the window, feeling the cool night breeze on my face. My black notebook was still on my desk. It looked rather forlorn and bleak, as if it was waiting for me…for the gentle touch of my fingertips…532Please respect copyright.PENANAUL3Wl5qRgS

I let out a sob and instinctively started to wipe my tears. The cold I felt…the absence of the salty tears…They reminded me that Ophelia was no longer on this earth. I would never again lay down on my bed. I would never again hug my mother and father. I would never again joke with my friends. Why? I…I…I didn’t want to leave them…I wasn’t ready to die.532Please respect copyright.PENANAvTe8SncJho

In her room, my poor mother was sobbing. My Dad was silent, but inside he was shattered. Everyone had left. How long before life here returned back to normal? How long before they forgot about me? My heart ached at the thought. I was nothing but a memory now. After a while…No one would bother even thinking about me.532Please respect copyright.PENANAj66vAX149P

I sat down on the bed, crying loudly for about half an hour. More than anything in the world, I wanted my mother. I wanted her to hold me close, wipe my tears and tell me that everything was all right. Why? Why did I lose my life? Who broke my mother’s heart by taking away her daughter. Who was the reason my Dad was lying broken and sleepless?532Please respect copyright.PENANA6yasKrSqOz

Suddenly, the image of a speeding car flashed before my eyes. Now, that I was alone and my head was clearer than during my funeral, I realized that it looked awfully familiar. It…It was the same car Mathew and his family came out of…532Please respect copyright.PENANAruAC56Jk8W

I got up abruptly. Another image flashed in my head. I was lying on the road, barely able to see, drowning in pain. My faint cries of help did not stop the car speeding straight ahead. I writhed and wriggled, the smell of my blood piercing my nostrils. After a long time, a merciful numbness took over and everything was cold.532Please respect copyright.PENANAY0L4avikTn

I clenched my fist. They left me to die. They could have saved me but…532Please respect copyright.PENANA2J7M5E4Itm

Anger as I’ve never known before boiled inside me. Why wasn’t I in heaven or hell? That question was answered now. They had to pay. For what they did to me and my family.532Please respect copyright.PENANAumdly3YQ66
