The Train Ride
As Emily gazed out the window of the train she saw her dad-waving goodbye, his face had a bright smile, but when Emily looked into his eye she saw sadness. She was off to live with her mother in Roscoe; this was a four-hour train ride from Chicago to Roscoe. It would be a little over two hours but there are もっと見る stops on this train ought. Dad was only sending her because he felt she would have a better life. Emily disagrees, she hated her mother, and she was cruel, heartless and hated the sight of Emily. She new better he dad lied to her, he knew she was find living with him but he found another wife. Emily never met her but she new her name, Rita Mildew. The train smell of horrible human waist and dried up food, why was she stuck on here alone. Now that she thinks back most of her フレンズ did not car she was leaving, Amber her best friend for 4 years gave her a card but she did not even sigh it. Emily was a very shy girl, were they just pity friend! Was all there wonderful memories a lie, are they all sitting at Ambers house laughing at her saying there glad she is gone? Tears formed in her eyes at the thought, her dad laid to her, her so-called friends, suddenly silent tears poured down her face.
“I’m sorry to bother あなた miss but may I sit here?” 発言しました a soft males voice from behind her. He turned to she his face; there beside her stood a young man around her age, 15 または 16. He had チョコレート brown hair the shine in the train’s florescent lights; he had matching eyes to go with his hair. He was tall about 5’11” wearing a leather jacked and baggy black jeans.
Struggling to find her voice Emily whispered “ sure”
He thanks her he warmly and sat down across from her, she continued to stare out the window but ストール, 盗んだ glances at the boy for he was something different. About ten minuets later she was tired of staring at the passing trees she turned to face him keeping her head down. He studied her for a moment, she had a rare red color of hair, he noticed she also had light blue eyes that were clouded with nervousness’, she wore blue jeans and a dark blue tank 上, ページのトップへ that made her eyes pop. He watched as her read hair gently swung from side to side, he was deciding wreathes または not he should talk to her. Wondering if she was a catty Cathy または a silent bird.
Clearing his throat he said, “ What’s your name?” Shocked he has 発言しました anything at all she gazed in to his eyes and spoke in a whisper.
“Emily Smith, yours?
“I’m Trevor Lead, where are あなた headed?” he laughed at him self inside at his failure at small talk, Emily since this too but continued
“I’m going to live with my mom in Roscoe, dad 発言しました he thought I would be better off at her house but I know he is engaged to a women I have never met. He wants to be alone with her. He never much cared for me.” She half smiled then what back to looking at her plane white snickers. That reminded him of his mother, he was running away from her. She got pregnant at 16 years old, when the dad found out he ran for it. About a 月 前 he found out that she was going to have adoration with him, the only reason she did not go through with it was because he came out 2 月 early. She never wanted him; she was always saying he screwed up her life. She now sat at ホーム all 日 smoking and drinking ビール with no life, Jim her boyfriend now works and pays her bills. Jim deserved better then his lazy…Mother!
“Why did あなた live with him so long if he dose not care for you?” he wondered if something of the same thing happened to her, that the mom dumped her new baby on the dad.
“I like him better then mom, dad would at least act like he loved… my like a dad, but mom treats me like I’m dog crap. She never agreed properly to let… me come stay with her. She got pregnant at 20, they lived to gather for 2 years または so and the she just out of the blue left! I’m sorry I bet あなた really don’t care… about this”
“The truth be tolled I do. I have the same thing going on in away. I’m running away from my mom, he loathes me. She was going to have an abortion 7 months pregnant with me but then I came out early. I found out a 月 ago. She is always reminding me that I screwed up her life, now she smokes and drinks al 日 long.” Emily could see the ping of hurt deep inside his eye before he looked away.
“Are あなた going to um… live with your… dad?” she managed out
“ Oh no, he ran out on my mother when he found out she was having me. But what I have heard from my mom’s …friends he was a real pervert. He smiled a little Emily liked him; he was easier to talk to and understood what she was going through. She hoped he wound not bother him to keep the conversation going.
“ I have a … question, um did あなた ever have … pity friends?” he glanced at her in confusion, “ あなた know フレンズ that were only your フレンズ because the feel sorry for you?” he thought back, yea he has. ドレイク, ドレーク Simon, the little… he nodded yes.
“ Me too, all of them, the did not car at all that I was leaving. Um... “ She stopped she did now know what to 日 to him. But she did not have to for he spoke not have paid any attention to her mumbling
“Have あなた ever wanted to disappear and go were no one あなた hate could ever find you? Its not like running away, when あなた run away there is always a change they will find you. What I’m saying is, create あなた own world and not be afraid of what others think?” Emily was never asked this before. She knew the answer right away
“Yea, I would 愛 to get way from mom and dad I would 愛 to for get my stresses and forget my troubles. But sadly there is not place like that,” she stared out the widow once もっと見る now realizing it was raining. She watched at to rain drops raced each other to get to the bottom. They were silence between them Trevor listened to the sound of the other passengers. Some complaining about how dirty the train was, others talking about there hard 日 of work, and some wining about the rain. He gazed at Emily as she looked out the window, wishing his mother had a kind nature like Emily. He never met anyone like her on the streets of Chicago and he bet he would never find another like her anywhere else.
“Emily?” he asked quietly, “How old are you? I’m 16” he was hoping she was his age, she looked young for her age but that might be because she had the natural look, no make up. In his opinion girls looked better that way.
“I’m also 16, turn 17 in two months” wow she was older then him. Again there was silence, he rain his hand thought his hair thinking out what to say next.
“What is your mom like?” this startled Emily.
“She is a cruel women who thinks she can have what ever she wants when she wants it. She thinks あなた should drop whatever your doing just to meet her needs. Its pathetic!” She opened her mouth again but closed it, after a few 秒 she got up sand whispered, “ be right back” then headed to the bathrooms.
Emily did not care for the bathrooms for the smelled worse the seating aria on the train. Diapers with poop in them were thrown at the wall, pee stains were al over the toilet and on the floor, and it made her want to puke. As she entered the bathroom a full smell of throw up hit her in the face, she could hold it. She glanced at the clock resting above the toilet; she had about 3 hors to go. She rushed out of the bathroom and back to her seen 次 to the window.
“That was fast” Trevor 発言しました with a smile as he watched her sit back down.
“I-am-not- going-in –there!” she 発言しました trying to breathe for she had help her breath running back. Trevor laughed at her, “what”
“ Nothing its just あなた different, your not like other people I have met.” This time Emily laughed
“ How many times have あなた heard that story in a book または movie!” He smiled a weak smile then turned. “ Oh! I’m Sorry its just… I thought it was cute… but-”
“Cheesy I know.” He turned away more
“Oh, I always screw this up! Please don’t be made at me! You’re the only person I have ever met that understands,” he chuckled a little “ yea I know that has been over done before too,” he finally faced her meeting her eyes.
“I know we just met but I like あなた Emily and I want to get to know あなた more!” he 発言しました flashing a brilliant smile
“Well we do have about 3 hours left, tell me-”
“ You’re getting off at roscoe right?” she nodded “ あなた get off in 1 時 they announced that when あなた were in the bath room.” She groaned; her dumb dad read the ticket wrong. And dummy her forgot to read it over.
She thought of a 質問 quick, “ what kinds of 音楽 do あなた like?” he pondered the thought,
“ Well I 愛 rock, metal, and very little country, why did あなた ask me that?”
“I just wanted to know I mean he I can’t like a guy that’s all into rap!” she joked, laughing she asked “what about bands?” he searched into his pocket and pulled out his ipodの, ipod then handed it to Emily after rewrapping the white headphones around it. She skimmed through his artists and songs, there were bands like Three days Gracing, Fall Out Boy, ECT. She gave it back with a smile. Time passed as the chatted about ランダム things, school, parents, things of that sort. When it was about 5 minuets till she had to get off Emily asked
“ Want to get off with me?” she 発言しました with hope
“ If I did where would I go live, with あなた and your mom? I don’t think she would like that very much. I would 愛 to but I must proceed and get off in Janesville, I’m sorry.” All his hope was gone. But clearly he new nothing of geography, Emily popped up and yelled
“My mom lives 30 または so 分 away from where you’re going! Here,” she griped his hand and scribbled don her phone number. Then the intercom kicked on and announced, we are not at stop Roscoe!” As she got up she kissed his cheek “Bye” she whispered as she headed out the door.
Trevor garbed his phone and dialed her number she picked up “ Hello?”
“Hey it me!”
“ I thought あなた would never call” she 発言しました he could here the smile in her voice.

The Man With No Eyes Collection (1): The Actor
Sundown, sunrise.
Big smile!

Upon the 王位 that we’ve devised.
A patchwork-quilt protagonist
A villain from the shadow realm
The work of the illusionist
When I, the actor, take the helm.
“Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to see…”
The whisper marks my story’s birth.
The audience will gather ‘round.
(The jury to decide my worth.)

I'm setting here looking at a paused テレビ screen and i soon think to myself is that the way that our life is life when we are put on hold.
If tht's the case then why are we not able to do the work that we have been meant to do forever,
how can the people in our lives trust us for the decisions that we make in our daily lives that we live.
are we really meant to be th people that we are meant to be または are we just passing through this earth with no-where to go but down, that is what i think about when i see a paused tv.
so what do あなた think about this journal entry that i just wrote あなた need to think about what i 発言しました and give me your best anwsers that あなた can give.
thnx erie モーガン, モルガン maples

Why, do things have to be so hard
In life?
Why can't things be easy
And everyone could just enjoy
Their short lives.
Betrayed
によって an old friend
によって an old boyfriend
It feels like the whole world
Has gone on the enemy's side
Why do things have to be so complicated?
Tears are rolling down my cheek
As life goes on,
That's what I do.
Because I feel unused, unhelpful, abandoned.
Life goes on
And even though I try
To shrug off the troubles I have had in the past,
Smiling,
Inside, I am extremely hurt
Stabbed によって my own friends
I am deserted
Even though I smile
I am hurt
I am betrayed.

Hate.Disappointment.Regret.They all make up some of the worst thing in our lives...then why can't we just give it up?Give it up and just throw all our problems away?The answer is simple because this,this is reality not a fairytale または some fiction story,where the writer can just have their way over their characters like puppets.No.Not at all in reality does one have their way to control their life または the lies that people tell them.There's no stopping your troubles in life または changing the regret you've made in the past ...it's life.
