Lone wolf. *All Alone*

Friday 7th 7:21pm

'Too tight?' The mirror looks so tiny, I cant see my legs, but my boobs look too exposed. Shelby barked. I guess I'll take that as a no. I look out the window, Delan isn't here yet. I'm so excited. It's my birthday tomorrow. Delan and I are having dinner after which I'll probably force him to go shopping with me but he's not here yet.

7:25pm
oh! I finally hear Delan's car parking out front. My heart skips a beat. I love Delan so much. He's walking towards the porch, I'm looking at him through the window. I clutch my purse and smile as he comes in. He doesn't look too good.
'what's wrong?' I ask. He probably wants to skip dinner.

7:50pm
My feet is really cold. I dont want to turn of the air conditioner. I wrap my blanket tighter. Its going to be a boring birthday tomorrow with Delan gone. He was my only friend. I still dont know why he broke up with me though. He obviously forgot my birthday. I'll be fine. Where's Shelby?. . .

1:00am Saturday.
I take a gulp of milk straight from the bottle. If momma was alive she would scold me for that. I miss Mom and Dad. They left me alone. My phone is so silent. Nobody has called yet or Is my clock too fast? I look over at the walk clock. No its not. I guess nobody cares or remembers or even cares to remember. Dragging my self back to bed. I miss Delan already. Still cant believe he broke up with me maybe thats why he hasn't called yet.

1:00pm Saturday
Big puff and the candles go off.
'I'm 24 today' my voice echoes. Shelby barks.

'Enjoy the meal' I smile. A piece of cake is healthy. Just a treat for today. Shelby doesn't like cake. I shrug. Do dogs eat cake? Shelby is making a lot of noise with his meal. What to do with the rest of the cake?

2:36pm Saturday
I'm driving through the highway. The cake is wrapped in foil. I'm going to the orphanage. Then I'll stop by the old people's home to visit Pa Simone and Madam Peckworth. Pa's stories would have to do today. I park and pull out my cheque book.

2:50pm Saturday
Hmmm... Nice hair miss orphanage attendant. I smile at her, she smiles back.
'Good Afternoon' I say. Even though nothing is good about this afternoon.

3:00pm Saturday
Cake gone. Money gone. I'm driving to the home now. My phone is so silent today. Not even a beep. I guess nobody at work looked at the calender.





6:00pm Saturday
Tv. Boring. Delan hasn't called, nobody has. Oh well. No tears baby. Dont cry. I lay on the couch. My noodles has gone cold. No appetite.
'Here Shelby' He could use the dinner more than me. I look at the clock. 6:07pm Today seems too long. I cant go to bed now, its too early. I Turn off the tv, let it watch me for a change. Now smiling at it. This is weird.

6:15pm

I cant seem to find this T-shirt. I know it's here somewhere. I Pour out all my clothes from the drawer. Oh where are you? Next drawer. Nothing. Third I find it. Delan's jersey. I smile and sniff it. Smells just like him. No i'm not gonna cry. I put it on. I feel awkward, sad and happy. I jump into bed grinning.

7:37pm
note to self, never read a romance novel after a harsh break up. I drop the book. I still cant sleep. Turn on my radio. Blues no. More blues. No thanks. Reggae. I'll pass. Rock. Too noisy. Hip hop. Cool. Distracting.

Sunday 9th. 10:00am.
I must have been more tired than I realized. My phone is off. I left the radio on all night. I plug it and look in the mirror. 'Hello there No church?' i'm too late. Damn! I'm hungry. Shower first.




12:15pm
T-shirt and jeans. No make up. The breeze blowing my hair. I feel like i'm in a movie. I get to the restaurant and order the usual.




12:26pm
I pay and say goodbye. . . The street is really busy. I could have taken shelby for a walk. A car driver by really fast. I want to scream at the driver but I dont. I pass by the bakery and inhale the assaulting aroma. Smells good but always tastes bad. I chuckle. Staring into the flower shop. It Always looks so colourful. I bump into someone and start to apologize. I wasn't looking.

Lone Wolf *forever alone*

12:35pm
'I'm sorry' I say and look up. It's Delan. He's wearing the blue shirt I gave him. Blue always looks good on him.
'It's ok Sherry' He says and smiles. 'How are you?' He asks.
'I'm fine' I smile back. What do you care?

12:37pm
He's walking away. I start to cross the road. I turn around and call him back. He turns and stares at me. Time to do what I see movies.
'It was my birthday yesterday' I say walking with my back. He begins to speak, I lift a finger. I dont wanna hear it. He looks stunned, thats enough for me. I smile then I hear a horn behind me. I turn around as fast as I can a truck is heading straight at me. Seconds away. I cant move. I'm stunned. Staring wide eyed. Is it going to hit me? I hear Delan scream my name. Its too late. I feel the impact of the fender colliding with my abdomen. Oh it hurts. I'm flying and screaming. I Land on the pavement. My back, my leg. Everywhere hurts. People screaming. I can hear Delan shout. But whats he saying. I cant move. I feel something really cold. Its my blood trickling into my eyes. I cant keep my eyes open. The voices so loud slowly fading away. Where's Shelby?

12:40:15pm

I see a white light, its so bright.

~~THE END~~
