They Stars in Your Eyes [ON HOLD FOR ALL ETERNITY!)

Tragic past

*dream/flash back for when Lizzy was 5 years old*

I was jumping rope.

Everything was perfect.

My parents loved me, I had a perfect little brother, I had loads of friends, every thing equaled perfect.

As I jumped, I sang a song from my kindergarten class.

"thank you God for the things we eat

Thank you God for the birds that sing

Thank you God for every thing!

Amen!"

Well, it was really a prayer, but Miss Brown, my teacher, told us we could sing it too.

I loved singing.

I sang all the time.

Mommy and Daddy loved to hear me sing too.

I also liked Mr. Poes, my piano teacher.

He was teaching me to play 'Old McDonald.'

Anyway, when I finished jumping, I went inside.

I went to find Mommy and Daddy to tell them I jumped 37 times without stopping.

I went to their room.

I could hear them whispering inside.

Instead of opening the door, I listened.

"H-he's gone! Gone! Why?! Why my little boy?!" sobbed mommy.

"I-I know, but theres nothing we can do about it!"

Daddy's voice was anxious.

"but... But... What about Lizzy?"

I could imagine daddy putting his head in his hand, just like he does when he's thinking hard.

"we have to treat her differently." he said firmly, "other wise, they'll take her away as well. She cant know what happened."

"but-"

"dear."

I could almost see mommy's head snapping up to glare at daddy.

"Darrell. How can we live if we treat her horribly? She'll grow up to either be headstrong and reckless, or shy and ignored! I don't want that for her! She's my daughter! I want her to use her talent! I love her, Darrel!"

"Marie, I know exactly what you mean. But, she will be taken away if we don't treat her badly! Either way, her life will be ruined. I want the better option. Her being somewhat ignored or headstrong!"

Mommy was crying.

"why?! Why does it have to be our family thats being ruined!"

Daddy was silent.

"tell me how, we start treating her badly all of a sudden?!" mommy was shouting now, "Darrel! I can't do it! It will break my heart!"

"it'll break mine too," whispered daddy.

"men don't have hearts."

"some don't,"agreed daddy, "but I do, well, I've got half of one after today."

Shaking my head in disbelief, I backed away, and ran to my room.

That was the end of my perfect life.

That's tragic.

Personally, I feel very sorry for her, I don't k ow about you.

But anyway....
