SCAR
FOURTEEN YEARS Old
Have you ever looked up at the moon and thought about how the entire
world, every single person, shares the same one? In this expansive world, we
only have one moon and somewhere out there, other people are looking at it
at this exact moment.
I look at it, talking to a nonexistent person in my head. Are you lonely,
too? Are you hiding away from the world, while knowing you can’t go far
because we’re all together under this one sky?
I overthink too much. It’s just not fair that something so beautiful has to
be shared with some who don’t deserve it.
Damn those boys for existing in my world.
I stop walking on the trail on the backside of our property, the flashlight
of my phone pointed at the old treehouse my dad had built for me when I was
eight years old. I told him I needed a place to escape, because we all do at
some point. Three days later, he brought me back here and surprised me with
the most amazing treehouse. Okay, it’s not that great, but it is to me, then and
now. That small space positioned between two large oak trees was my
sanctuary when I needed to get away from the noise of the world. And right
now, I need it more than ever.
Moving my feet again, I head for the ladder. Since the full moon is
offering enough light, I shut the flashlight off on my phone and stuff it in the
back pocket of my jeans.
The wood is weathered, so I take care as I climb up, trying to avoid
splinters in my hands. Mom’s already spent too many nights pulling those
pesky things out of my fingers. I smile at the thought. So much time spent on
such a mundane task. It’s those small acts that prove how much someone
loves you. Even if right now I’m feeling all alone, deep down, I know I never
am because I’ll always have my parents.
When I reach the top, I press my palms to the hard surface and crawl over
to the battery-operated lantern, hoping the batteries still work. When I flip the
switch and nothing happens, I breathe out a sigh of frustration.
