Girl in the Mirror

My alarm clock went off at 7:00. I looked around my room, but my brothers were already up and downstairs eating breakfast. I didn’t want to get up, it was too soon. We had are first show since that night today, but it was too soon im not ready. The rest of the guys were over her now, but she was my girlfriend how could I just forget about the girl I loved?

I finally after what seemed like days I got the strength to get out of my bed. I grabbed my robe, and went to the bathroom. Right now only a nice hot shower would cheer me up.

I put on the water and let it heat up. The hotter the better, at least thats what I always said. As I stepped into the shower I could hear voices in the hall. It sounded like Zac and Mack fighting over the Playstation, but I payed no attention to them. I stuck my head under the water and started th think about that night. The night I lost her.

It was a month ago today. I knew she was sick, but I never even thought she was that sick. She never told me that she had AIDS. I just found out a day before she died. When I used to ask if she was sick she would just say it was the flu. She was my first in everything. My first kiss, girlfriend, date, and so many more I couldn’t name them all. I never even got to say goodbye. Her mom told me that right before she died she called out my name, and siad that she would see me again very soon, but how soon? thats all I wanted to know.

“The waters to hot” I said to myself as I felt my head start to burn for the water splashing on it. So I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my waist and walked over to the mirror. There was steam all over it so I took my hand and and wipped it away. Instead of seen myself in the mirror I saw her, I saw Tia.

“Tia” I called looking into the mirro blinking still not believeing what I saw

“Yes, Taylor its me” she said smiling at me. Her long blond hair was drapped over her shoulders like it was the last time I saw her. She was waring the neckles I bought her for our 3 year annervisary. She had on the same baby blue dress she wore at her furnnal.

“I miss you” I said touching the mirror.

“I miss you too, thats why I have come back for you” she said flipping her hair off her shoulder.

“What do you mean”

“Taylor come and take my hand”. Tia lifted her hand towards me. I didn’t know what to do, so I placed my hand on the mirror. For about a minute I felt pain, the pain was so strong I couldn’t handle it any longer. Then I felt no more pain, and I was standing next to Tia.

“Welcome home” she told me with a smile and her big brown eyes lighting up

“Home?” I asked confused

“Yes, this is your new home” she said talking my hand and leading me towards all of the people waiting for me.
