The sun peaks out from behind the clouds and it's light beaming into Cassie's window and the wind blowing softly into her room. Startling Cassie from her sleep the alarm clock goes off "It's time to get up, It's time to get up" Cassie turns over and puts her pillow over her head and tries to fall back asleep. with the alarm kept on going on and on repeating the same line again and again "It's time to get up" it was hard for Cassie to fall back asleep.
Letting out a annoyed moan, she finally gets the nerves and energy to get up and turn off the alarm. Cassie's hair was a mess, Her tank top sleeves are slowly rolling down her pale arm and her pants are rolled up. She puts her hand into her hair, fixing all the strands into place- making herself look sensible. Cassie slowly looks around the room, her stomach uneasy. She tip toes to her room door and opens it. CREEK! She stops immediately, afraid of waking up her parents. She stands still, her body still just listening. She hears the leaves rustling with the movement of the wind- Cassie keeps a keen ear out for any movement outside her door. A for dew minutes she just stands there, before slowly closing the door she hears footsteps- her heart pounding and her legs shaking Cassie was ready to go back under the covers and hide like a little child, but she stands her ground, the fear of waking her parent has her heart in her stomach. Now Cassie shuts the room door slowly and tip toes to the mirror. She scrambles around in her drawer, trying to find her favorite CD. After searching for a minute or so she finally finds what she was looking for- Evanescence's first album Fallen. She places the CD into her stereo and lowers the volume. Cassie stands there waiting for the sound of the haunting voice and dark sounds of the drums and guitar. She looks up at herself singing along to the haunting lyrics "Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried, Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you And you still won't hear me, going under"
After the first verse she just stares at her reflection. Cassie just stands there and stare, not moving or breathing- she just stands there and stare. Her face turning red and her eyes become watery, she lets out a gasp for air still staring into the mirror. The tears are slowly forming but not falling. She whispers to her reflection "I'm Fine, I'm Fine" and the tears start falling faster and faster with each blink. With her vision blurred she turns to her stereo and skips to track 3- Everybody's Fool. Singing to her reflection "perfect by nature
icons of self-indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a- BOOM
a loud cry escaped from her mouth as she turned to the door. The knob of her door began to shake. Cassie's eyes settle down the the doorknob, now her heart was beating fast, her heart was ready to explode out of her chest.
