1 Chapter 1:My days on Earth {Edited}

In Earth 2015,

BANG, SMASH

A loud bang emanated from the other room, shouting and smashing glass coming from within.

My parents always fight, they always misunderstand each other. Even when things can be talked through. Only 12 years old yet already more shattered than many adults.

It all started when I was just 8, with my mom finding out that my dad cheated on her. From that day onwards my mom didn't trust my dad and always picked fights. Hardly a day went by without glass being shattered and screams reverberating around the house.

The woman my father cheated with was pregnant and… he brought her into our home. Her name was Liàng. She is kind to me, and was kind to everyone else but, my mom inevitably didn't like her.

She took care of me while my mom abandoned me. And she, later on, gave birth to a boy. She named the boy Shawn, and he became my brother or half brother I suppose.

He is a surprisingly good kid, not demanding or bratty. He was kind, not acting like those awful siblings I always read in stories about. He was only four and had yet to develop and personality, but already he was polite and sweet.

I felt rather sorry for him, father began neglecting and ignoring him and his mother. Despite my mothers' wishes, me and Shawn were quite close, and I didn't have a bad relationship with Liang either. Not a particularly good one, but not a strained one either.

2017

My mom and dad divorced a year ago, and from then on I lived with my father. He gave me and the rest of his family less and less attention. He turned it all towards his business, and it grew and grew from his hard work.

And even though I worked and worked, trying to get his attention and praise, it never mattered. He was so wrapped up in his job that he never gave me a moment of his time. At least I have her.

I attended music classes, learned martial art, and even cooking. Liàng was my teacher in cooking, and I began to dislike her, even though I could see she was working hard for me and her son.

Eventually, I started to envy Shane, having the love of his mother while I was cared for by my father's mistress, not even my real mom.

My life was awful. I only enjoy it when I see her, Freya, she's my closest friend. A best friend who supports me cheers me up, and most importantly she is there when I need her. Every time I see her, I always get excited and I would smile ear to ear.

We used to promise each other that, if... We die without saying goodbye, we need to meet in our next life, no matter what, whether we'll be an insect or a human. We need to... Sing our friendship song, I mean our favorite song, Which is "Flashlight" by Jessie J, we sing that song none stop, day and night, we never get tired of that song.

My last day on earth was not good, of course, but at least... I said my goodbyes to her. My last words were "Take care my friend" I laughed, blood coming out of my mouth. She didn't laugh or anything and continued to cry "Don't cry... You've stayed by my side until the end... Thank you..."

Freya's tears fell onto my face. Hearing her cry pains my heart but I can feel my heart is slowing down. I want to say I loved her...

Hinaya was already drifting from reality and couldn't say those three words.

Her hands that were clutching Freya's hands were slowly slipping. Freya screamed, "No, baby, don't say... That stay with me, open your eyes, don't sleep"

My eyes closed.

Before I had the last breath I heard her sang the 1st line of "Flashlight"

When tomorrow comes I'll be on my own.

There, I gasp for my last breath and heard a shot. Before I had completely lost my hearing I heard the police and ambulance came but I guess they were too late, I have already died.

I slowly opened my eyes, I thought it would be the hospital but, it is not the hospital I can't move my head struggling to sit. All I could do now is crying, I can't say a word!

I look at my hands and it was a baby's hand. I tried to slap my face but my small hands are only able to look cute, no functions at all. I thought this was just a dream but it wasn't. I cried and someone came to calm me down, carrying me in her hands but I couldn't see her face. I can't see it, I'm guessing she's a girl but I can't see her face. My sight is blurry, gosh.

The one that was carrying her, was a girl about to turn 20 years old and was her caretaker. She smiled brightly seeing the newborn princess that was talked about around the palace the moment she was born.

"Aww, welcome Princess! I am Francine, oh what am I doing? You can't even understand me."

Damn, right you are. I can barely understand a few words considering it's mixed French. Thank God I learned French.

I was right she's a girl but why is it a caretaker I met first? Not my mom or my dad? This dream is exactly what my life is, ugh, even in my dreams my parents neglect me.

I need to wake up and look at how Freya is doing. She had an injury too since she was defending herself along with protecting me.

The caretaker Francine talked a lot and I wasn't able to catch up so I wasn't listening since I'm thinking about when will I wake up and what I'll do when I wake up.

Francine, "I was assigned by The Emperor, I'm so lucky I get to care for a cute little princess!"

She continued talking but I was stunned by what she had said one second ago, "Assigned by The Emperor" that word is going through both of my ears again and again.

What a weird dream I'm having. Or am I lucky because I'm the princess of an Empire called Sapphire? That also explains why my parents are neglecting me.

Whatever, I want to wake up and hang out with Freya.
