Life Is A Book

Chapter One :The silence

"Hey William it's okay. Victoria doesn't want to live the life which we are into hence she left and I know she will lead a good life."
William, my 20 years old brother who is 2 years elder than me , and I were sitting across the river where we mainly come to when we are sad. The difference was that before this time Victoria used to be with us but not anymore as she escaped last night.

She left us a note mentioning of her escaping to Australia as she couldn't stand the atmosphere of our house.

You must be thinking that I belong to a poor family but the reality is that I belong to a rich family in which there is everything except a home. My mother who used to be so busy in her work that she forgot to come in my graduation ceremony and my father who lives abroad and come to see us in London for just few hours.

People think that being rich means having everything but behind that huge luxurious house and big cars there is despair and sorrow.

"Anna?" my brother said when I was in my bed at night weeping badly. My brother switched on the light and sat on my bed. I felt his stroking of my hair and then pushed myself up and leant my head on my brothers' shoulder. He questioned "What happen?" I said in a weak voice "I told mom that Victoria is hone and do you know what she responded with? She responded with a hmm." William said after 2 to 3 minutes " Well you should sleep now" in a voice which showed his silent pain. "Come on you have to go to submit the form of college tomorrow. Tomorrow is the deadline of submission of forms."

The respond of William makes it certain that there was nothing new in it for him and silence was the only answer and his pause made it clear that he was pulling himself together so that he could think about how to divert my attention. He actually succeed in diverting it, it seems to me like he has done PhD in diverting people's attention. And I slept while wondering about tomorrow morning as I was going to see my future college first time.

"No don't do this. Come on William you are the only one that I can say my words to." While this my eyes started filling with tears,I felt like a part of me was being pulled by someone. "There is no hope of me living this life I am tired of living the life I have not choose." I felt the hopelessness he was facing by his voice. "Come on William give me your hand." I stretched my hand forward to him while he standing on the edge of roof. William started putting his leg forward in the air and I yelled "William don't do this!you are going to spoil your hereafter even by going this please William don't." And I watched him in the air and all of a sudden my mobile started ringing but there was no mobile near to me.

The morning light touched my light brown eyes and my sweated face. At first I was not sure what was happening. I was glad to realize it was just the worst nightmare. I turned off my alarm and my eyes popped out to see that it stated 9 O'Clock. I jumped off my bed and put up my blue jeans and a T shirt and as I did not took bath sprayed some perfume and took my bag in which there was my submission form and other important things which I could need.
