The Voice Of The Moon 2

CHAPTER 2:- ANNIE 

It was October 15th, my birthday. That’s when I met my best friend-to-be – Annie Thompson.  

I saw a girl march up to me.  

“Hello there! You’re Emma Walters, aren’t you?” asked the girl.  

“Yes, I’m Emma.”  

“I’m Annie Thompson. You’re top of the talk these days.” 

“Yeah, but I’m not really the one for the spotlight. You see, everyone sees me as a weird girl who’s living in her fantasy world.” 

“I don’t. You seem interesting. Would you like to have lunch together?”  

“Oh, I would love that. See you!” 

“See you!” 

Saying that Annie left. I was extremely glad that she talked to me. It was nice to be friends with a girl for a change. We met again for lunch, and I wanted to spend the rest of the day with her.  

I took her to the mountains and introduced Annie to the Moon.  

After so many years, the sound of laughter was heard from me. It felt so good to be with Annie. It had only been one day, yet I felt somewhat connected to her. She was like the family I had ever wanted.  

She was asking me about my parents. Tears rolled down my eyes slowly. Annie hugged me. I told her things that I had never told anyone before.  

When I was a year old, my parents took me out to surprise me. The same night, they died in a car crash. I survived but they didn’t. It’s been exactly 14 years since everything passed. That night took the ones I loved the most away from me. They were in a place where I can never reach out but hopefully a much better one.  

That night which was supposed to be the best day of my life turned into the worst day of my life. You see, it was not only some other day, but it was also my birthday.  

Ever since I heard the story from my aunt and uncle, I started to hate myself. I lost all hope and that beautiful place which once housed me turned merely into an illusion that I can never reach no matter how much I reach my hands out.  

Things seemed better than they did yesterday. I felt as if I had gotten a sudden spark out of nowhere. I regained the warmth of the house that once housed me from Annie.  

This day was the best day of my entire life.
