Sparkle got up, brushed her teeth, got dressed, and than took a moment and sat in front of her mirror. The thoughts of everyone telling her to eat something because otherwise she might get a diesease entered her mind. It sorta brought a bright side because she was somewhat close to death. She looked around her mirror and had the lyrics of With You In Your Dreams written all over. Water formed in her eyes when she thought how much she understood these words. She couldnt stand it how everything was so weird and could relate to them. Ever since her mothers death, which was now three months ago, she hadnt really eaten anything and looked like she was bulimic. Right now, her last thoughts were on her looking good.
As she was about to leave for school she decided to say goodbye to her dad. She knocked on the door and since no one answered she let herself inside. The big bed was empty but with a small note in the middle of the huge pillows. Sparkle walked over to it and read what it said:
Dear Eric,Sparkle, and Lucy,
Sorry I left without saying my goodbyes to you guys. A really important case popped up and I was told about it last nite really late. I didnt want to wake you up. I told Daisy about it and I put her in charge of everything. I'll be back as soon as I can.
Sincerly,
Dad
Sparkle was in tears as she read 'I'll be back as soon as I can'. She was very mad at her dad for always deserting them on and off over the past months. At that moment she felt mad and so alone in life. She wiped the tears and tried not to cry no more. She ripped up the note and threw it to the ground. She walked over to her sisters room and stood in front of Lucy. She was crying and Daisy, their maid ever since Sparkle was born, was trying to cheer her up. Sparkle kissed Lucy on her forehead and slowly she started to calm down. Daisy and Sparkle smiled at each other and Sparkle left the room.
Sparkle caught a ride from her brother to school. When she got to school she thought about how she was the only that was taking care of the family ever since her mothers death. When Sparkles parents split up, Eric went with his dad and had this attitude toward his mother. They never really got along. Although he did spare a tear or two at the funeral. This made Sparkle really sad and all she could do was cry in greive. As she finally got to her locker she opened it and saw that all over were small pics of Hanson and pages written with lyrics that made Sparkle feel better. Sparkle wasnt really a fan, but she just really admired them for writing great lyrics at such young age. Although everynight she did hope that maybe someday she would come to meet them and thank them for such a great influence over her. As all these thoughts ran through her head, a small smile formed over her face. When she turned around she could tell that a bunch of people were looking at her and some laughing and others just mad dogging at her. She really didnt want to put up with it so she faked sick and went home.
