Chapter Text
The sun watches what I do
Feeling the hot sun on her skin, she closed her eyes facing the sky. What could be better than a hot summer day spent outside with no school work or other duties on her mind. She could feel the grass beneath her as she laid still on the lawn in the backyard. She can´t remember when she felt like that for the last time. So utterly at peace with everything. Somewhere in the distance a lone bird sang its song and she listened to the beautiful melody. The sun shown down on her as she thought about the hang-out she planned with her friends tonight. Enjoying the hot summer, having a break from school before senior year starts and next time this year, she is about to go to college in the next town over, with all her friends going with her and visiting home every weekend, repairing cars at the shop of her father, making lemonade with her mom and playing with her little sister. Maybe Paul was even going to make a move at her, as he seemed to want to the past few weeks. And maybe she would say yes if he asked her out.
It was impossible to wish for more. Because life seemed perfect, as the sun shown down on her, watching her every move.
As she got up after some time feeling like grabbing a cool glass of lemonade from the fridge, her whole life took a 180 when she saw a letter with a red stamp on its front laying on the kitchen table. “Mom?” she called out her heart spiking at the “Last notice” staring back at her from the clean white surface of the envelope. Her mum came looking, what made her daughter sound so desperate and in fear. “What is this?” The look in her mother´s eyes change. It goes from curious to apologizing and sad in less than a second. “Honey, I meant to tell you this evening but I´m afraid you need start packing your backs.” No, that can´t be real.
