"Come on, April!" I`m standing alone in the snow. I turn around and see my sister, Canom, in the doorway.
"Coming." One last look, as the car disapears and I head back in. It may be the last time I see him.
"April." My mother calls. She`s in the kitchen.
"Ya, mom?"
"Dinner`s ready. Go get changed." I know she can tell something`s up.
"Ok."
I head up the stairs, down the hall, and to my room. After changing into my nightgown, I walk to the bathroom. I run some cold water and wash my hands and face. I look into the mirror. My face looks clean enough. I leave the bathroom and head downstairs.
As I`m going down, I think about school. I`m starting at Juilliard in September; 10 hours drive away.
I sigh and sit down at the table. After grace and dinner, I brush my teeth, and then hide away in my room for the rest of the night.
I`m awakened at 3:52am. It`s Jake calling my cell phone.
"Hello?"
"They can take away my pain, they can take away my leg, yet they can never take you away."
I smile. " Thank you, Jake."
