3-Memory Lane

Brett's POV
*UNEDITED*

I walk up to my room and throw myself on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. I thought about her last statement.
"You were always just another pupil in my class."
I laugh to myself at her word choice but then I frown. She was never just another pupil, I used to ponder over her, mainly because she reminded me of my sister. The way she carried herself and how strong she seemed even though I never understood it. How did she manage to keep her grades up with the terrible things my so called friends did to her? Where did she get all her strength from to keep on going? Why did she always wear a little smile even though her life at school was so miserable? Why? Why? Why?
Just then I turn onto my side and see her room light on. She's changing into her sleep wear. I wanted to turn my head the other way but my eyes were glued and hoping that the clothes that she peels away would peel away most of the layers and give me answers to some of my questions. But I snap out of it and shift my focus back to the ceiling. I stare at it for a moment studying a crack in the paint before I close my eyes. I remember that day so clearly even though I try to forget.

Lizzy wasnt born yet and I was only 8 years old. The phone rang just as I came home from school and my baby sitter, Felicity picked up the phone. I looked at the clock and struggled to tell the time but finally getting the correct answer of 15 minutes past one. I stood there waiting for the phone call to finish. Then out of the blue Felicity dropped the phone and ran to me. She knelt before me in tears.
"Phone your mother on her cell and tell her its an emergency she has to come home while I pull out the car." She was quivering. She sniffled and ran out while I began to feel uncomfortable and my hands clammy. I dialed moms number as fast as I could.
As I spoke my voice also began to quiver and by the time I put the phone down I was in tears not even knowing why. Felicity put me in the car and drove to the hospital and thats when I realized that this is truely an emergency. I knew it was something serious. Something with my sister. I got out of the car and ran into Felicity's arms. She picked me up and we went in. She spoke to some nurse but the next thing I knew I was staring at my sister in a hospital bed and rolls and rolls of bandages over her head. She was only 16 and there she lay in that bed, eyes closed. I ran to the chair and cried into it while the docter spoke to Felicity.

I snap out of my memory not wanting to continue remembering it. I keep my eyes closed and fight back the tears of my memory. Soon I fall into a sound sleep.
