They say it doesn’t take long for your life to be flipped upside down.
A moment.
A second.
And it’s all over.
I should’ve known. If I had, I would’ve done things differently.
Maybe I would’ve walked the other way.
Maybe my tale wouldn’t have ended the way it did.
But the thing about ‘maybes’? They’re useless.
I wave at my aunt as I stand on the old, Victorian-era pavement. She
waves back from the window of her silver Audi with a blinding smile.
Aunt Blair’s red hair never lost its fiery, natural colour, hanging in perfect
waves to her shoulders. She has high cheekbones and a tall, slender, modellike figure that makes my awkward, sixteen-year-old body look like a potato
in comparison.
I strive to be her when I grow up. Not only in the looks department —
although I’ll never pull off the red hair, but also the hard work and the
personality. She’s a partner with her husband in their overflowing business.
Their small company, Quinn Engineering, grows tenfold larger each day, and
I couldn’t be more proud of them.
“Show them what you got, Elsie!” She honks.
“Aunt.” My face flames as I search sideways, spying for anyone who
might have heard. “Elsa. Just Elsa at school.”
“But I like my Elsie.” She pouts in an anime-cute way. Her phone rings in
a standard, professional melody. Her eyebrows furrow as she checks the call
before silencing it. “You’ll be okay, hon?”
I nod. “You didn’t have to drive me.”
“I wouldn’t miss my Elsie’s first day in this huge effing place for the
world.” She motions around. “Freaking Royal Elite School! Can you believe
it?”
“I wouldn’t have been here without you and Uncle.”
“Aw stop it. We might have pulled a few strings, but if you didn’t have
the grades, you wouldn’t be here.”
And money. She forgets to mention that it costs a fortune and several
organs sold on the black market to get me here amongst the elite.
Still, the weight that’s been perching on my chest loosens a little at her
contagious enthusiasm. “Teamwork.”
“Teamwork!” She opens her car door and whooshes outside to clasp me
in a mama bear hug.
I try to ignore the level of weird my future schoolmates must think of me
and wrap my arms around Aunt. The smell of cocoa lotion and Nina Ricci’s
perfume envelops me in a safe cocoon.
When she pulls back, her cobalt blue eyes shine with unshed tears.
“Aunt…?”
“I’m just so proud of you, hon. Look at you all grown up and so much
like…” She trails off and wipes under her eye with the side of her forefinger.
She doesn’t have to say it for me to catch the meaning.
I look so much like my mum. While Aunt took after my ginger-haired
grandfather, Mum took after my blonde grandmother.
Or that’s what I’m told.
The ache that never died resurfaces like a demon from the dark, murky
water.
