Cause She's 2,000 Light Years Away (A Mike Dirnt Story), chapter 2
As Eleanor cleaned the last speck of dust in the living room, she sighed and looks around her surrounding, feeling proud of what she did to it. She looked at the time." Oh shit, its 1 am already! How am I going to finish my math homework?" she cursed. "Well, I guess I have to stay up until 2 something again," she said in a disappointed tone.
She dragged her heavy tired legs all the way to her room and threw herself on the bed. Closing her eyes, she took in a deep breath and exhaled. "Why is the world so unfair? Why am I stuck in this life? Why god? Why? Why did you take my parents away from me?"
Tears started to well up as memories of her mum and dad flashed past. She reminded herself not to cry. She has to stay strong. She could not give up so easily. After a few minutes, she forced herself to get out of bed and she stumbled towards the black desk in the corner and started on her math homework.

"Eleanor! Eleanor! Wake up!" a soft voice rang in her ears. Eleanor groaned and opened her heavy eyelids. As her eyes adjusted to the brightness of the surrounding, she searched for the person who had been calling her.
Little did she know, she found herself sitting in front of a middle-aged woman with long, straight, silky black hair just like hers and a pair of dark brown eyes that reminded her of chocolate. Her face was as fair as the snow in winter and as flawless as Snow White's.
"Mum? Is that you?" Eleanor asked in total shock, not believing that her mum is just right in front of her.
"Yes dear, its me. Are you alright?" she asked in the voice that she long missed.
Tears flowed down Eleanor's cheeks and she wiped it off vigorously.
"Dont cry, baby."
"I missed you so much, Mum"
"I know dear. I know. But I got something really important that I have to tell you and I need you to listen carefully. Okay?"
She nodded and wiped the last tear that ran down her cheek.
"Eleanor. I did not die of a car crash. I...I...was...murdered."
"NOOO..."
She dragged her heavy tired legs all the way to her room and threw herself on the bed. Closing her eyes, she took in a deep breath and exhaled. "Why is the world so unfair? Why am I stuck in this life? Why god? Why? Why did you take my parents away from me?"
