It's a little rough. A sound by Carrie Underwood and a video by her inspired it. It may sound wierd, cause I messed up and didn't want to fix it so I continued. Here it is:
I don’t know what my plan was. I stormed out of the house so quickly, I didn’t know what I was going to do next. As I took a walk, I knew I was going to miss everything. The way the knee-high gras.s swayed lightly to the wind. The way the rain played in the mud as it fell from the grey sky. I knew I was going to miss the way my sneakers skimmed across the concrete highway. And the empty highways. No one ever seemed to drive along it. Maybe that was because there were so many crosses along the sides of it. People nicknamed it ‘Death’s Highway’.
I walked in the middle of the highway, on the white lines. I was looking down so I didn’t notice the car driving towards me.
Chapter 1 I sat on the steps of my house. The rain slowly soaked my clothes. After hearing the scream of my little brother, who was only 2, I stood up and walked inside, the anger inside me flaring. I stopped at the sight of my mother who was gripping my little brother, Blake, by the bicep. He was screaming and trying to slap my mom. I ran over to him, gripped her arm and dug my fingernails into her forearm. Her grip loosened and I pulled Blake away.
My mother let words fly. I covered Blake’s ears and pulled away outside. To my luck, I saw one of my good friends walking past my house.
“Ann!” I shouted at her. She spun around and ran over to me.
“What?” she asked.
“Take him to your place. Let him do whatever. Not dangerous things, though.” Good thing she loves Blake.
“Okay.” Her lips turned downward. She picked up Blake and ran away.
I turned back around and stomped back inside.
“Why would you do that, Erin?!?” she shouted at me; I cringed.
“Because! You just want me to stand still while my little TWO year old brother is getting hurt!!!!” I shout back.
She walked over to me, slapped me, pushed me down and continued to slap me. I caught her hand and threw it to the side; I screamed. I stood up and ran outside, tears streaming.
The tears stopped when I reached ‘Death’s Highway’.
I walked along the sides of the road. Thinking about Blake, I began to cry again. I stopped and fell on my knees. I put my head in my hands and tried to think about better things.
When the tears subsided again, I stood up and walked into the middle of the street, along the white lines. I recited a poem that always cheered me up, but it didn’t work.
As I stumbled back to the sides, I kicked something silver. I stopped and picked it up; it was a razor. Just then I thought of my friend who died from accidently cutting herself. Maybe that was my answer. I threw the razor and kept walking. At the faint rumble of a car, I looked up through my bangs. Yes, a car was coming.
I walked into the middle of the road and I felt a rush of wind drive past me. I looked behind me; the car hadn’t hit me. It swerved.
