Ok here we go-
My father died the day the World-Trade-Center was attacked. He had just dropped me off at school. About an hour after he got to work, the planes hit. I was ten at the time. I could see the plane crashing from my school window. I didn’t know what was going on, but I knew it was really bad. When my mom came and got my sister Grace and I from school, she was sobbing. We were incredibly scared because we wondered where my dad was. She sat me and my sister down on our couch at home. She said to us, “Some evil men hit dad’s work building with a plane. Dad is not coming home….ever.” My last word was “NOOOOOOOO”. From that day on I stopped speaking. My name is Arianna O’Connell. I am now 16 years old. I haven’t talked since September 11, 2001. This is my story.

Im just gunna put in the first chunk since I have it already written! Please Comment!!!!! Arianna’s POV
The doctors think I’m in a deep depression and they don’t believe I want to speak anymore. They think I’m so sad I just can’t speak anymore. And believe me after all the shrinks I have seen I know they are wrong. I don’t think I can speak anymore. It’s kind of like I have forgotten how. After my dad died I went through a period where I can’t remember anything but darkness. At first when I awoke from the darkness I didn’t talk because I rationalized if my dad can’t, neither can I. Now I’m not sure there is any point to taking to anymore. You have no idea how much you learn when you just stop talking and worrying about yourself. Listening to all around you makes you grow in a way I can’t explain. At times it’s difficult not talking, but I make due. And I still write, hear everything, and make noises. My family was devastated at first because they felt like they lost 2 people. At the time I could do nothing, but now it’s a part of me and I can’t change. I still ache for my dad, but the sharp pain that made me cry anytime I thought about it is gone. My dad was my best friend. We would sit in our little apartment and sing together while he taught me piano. The songs were just silly old Irish songs. (We are Irish, but I’ve never been to Ireland) I could tell him anything, but now no one hears my true thoughts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ok so thats the first part and dont worry im getting to the Celtic thunder/damian part soon. i just thought you need a little background on arianna. Please Comment Thanks! oh and this is supposed to be in 2008!

ok- so im kind of addicted of writing this now so here is more... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Still Arianna’s POV It’s a cool fall Friday in Pennsylvania and I’m now getting ready for school.(We moved to PA a year after dad’s death because my mom thought it would help me heal) Getting ready for me includes putting on the clothes I set out the night before. (Today is a turquoise and gray striped three quarter length sweater, skinny jeans, converse, and my Celtic Thunder necklace)Then brush my longish brown/blond/red hair till it shines. And put on makeup. I can’t wait for this weekend because school is a nightmare. I’m a really good student though. I get straight A’s to my older sister’s (Grace-one year older) dismay. She gets B’s (he he). I also read all the time. Anything fantasy or romance. Other than that I love to play piano, but no one knows. I play in secret when mom is at work and Grace is at drama. My sister takes piano lessons and she is pretty good. I sit in on all her lessons because the teacher comes to our house to teach. The next day I practice everything he tells her. I keep it secret because it is something special I like to keep between my dad and me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ok thats all i am posting for now. but this is seriously addicting. I am soooo gunna post soon!

Here is the next part as promised _____________________________________________________________________________ My sister walks into my room and tells me she has a huge suprise for me. I am a little scared considering the last time she said that I ended up with a water balloon in my face..grrr. My sister is 18, but I think she still believes she is ten. "YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT IS IS!!!!!!"I just smile because I am used to her getting WAY over excited at stuff. One time when I was four and she was five, my parents got us one of those pink Barbie jeeps you can ride around. When she saw it she started to cry. And don’t even get me started on when my mom bought her a real jeep…. Grace pulls out two pieces of paper and hands them to me. I look at them and see some writing saying Row 1, Seat D. Before I get a chance to figure out what the tickets are for, she screams in my ear. “TWOTICKETSTOSEECELTICTHUNDER!!!!!!!”She shouts. I gesture for her to slow down and say it again. She takes a deep breath and says again,” I got us two tickets to see Celtic Thunder!” I smile so huge I look like a toddler on Christmas. I hug her and start to jump up and down right along with her. “Were going tomorrow night to see them at Hershey Stadium.” I grin even more and ask her on a piece of paper how she got the tickets. “I saw them on PBS and called in and donated the money they asked for and I got the tickets and passes!” I just hug her even more. Right then she tells me even more exciting news. She tells me she got meet and greet passes for after the show. I start to cry tears of joy. I absolutely love all the Celtic Thunder guys, but Damian makes me get butterflies. His eyes blue like the Caribbean and personality so endearing make him perfect. Right then I glance at my phone and I see it is 7:20 and freak out because school starts in ten minutes. Grace is always saying how I’m a goody two shoes because she never worries about getting to school late. She has a go-with-the-flow personality and she is super popular. I on the other hand don’t have any friends and have adopted a perfectionist personality to make up for my lost teen years. I grab Grace’s arm and we speed of to school. In math I get my trig test back and grin when I see a 105% on it. I honestly thought I was going to fail that test. My teacher, Mr. Krum, tells me how I got the best score in the class. I smile to myself and head to language arts. My teacher tells us how we are to write a story about something in our lives that really changed us. It is due in a few months. I immediately think about my dad, but there is NO way I am going to write an essay about that. I try to think about something else, but my whole life has been dominated by that one event. I just sigh and wait for the bell to ring for lunch. At lunch I eat beside some of my old friends. I say old because after the accident and me not talking we sort of drifted apart. I try to brain storm other ideas for my LA essay. I come up very blank.

here is some more _____________________________________________________________________________
When I get home I immediately go and start practicing piano. I am really good, not to brag or anything. When I play piano all my memories of the good times flow through my brain like a movie. My fingers glide across the keys and start playing a really sad song I am making up on the spot. I make up songs all the time. Every single one is hidden in my room. I only have fifteen minutes left before Grace gets back from drama club. I make every single second last. When my mom gets home from work she tells me that she is making my favorite meal. She is making chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes, and bread. YUMMMM! I smile at her and go to do my homework.

here is the update of the day. ___________________________________________________________________________ Arianna’s POV After dinner I decide to lay out my clothes for the concert tomorrow. I decide to wear a Celtic Thunder T-shirt, dark wash skinny jeans, blue boat shoes, and the necklace with a four leaf clover my dad had given me two days before he was killed. He told me even in the darkest times to look at the necklace and think of how much he loves me. Before I go to bed I think about the concert tomorrow. I fall asleep thinking about Damian. For the first time in 7 years, I don’t have a nightmare about my dad being crushed by burning metal. Damian’s POV The meet and greets for the concert were FINALLY over. I am so sick of these screaming fan girls asking me personal questions and asking if I am single. Even though I tell them I am not looking for a girlfriend, they always have to ask. Keith understands how it is to have all the fan girls, but he just laughs it off. “Hey there ladies man.” I heard Paul joke. “I am not in the mood Paul!” I growl. “Calm down Damo. I was just having some fun with ya.” “I’m sorry. I’m just so sick of these stupid fake girls who throw themselves at me like it is no big deal.” Paul just gives me a sympathetic look and shakes his head. Arianna’s POV It’s finally Saturday afternoon. I have been bouncing up in down all day long. I woke up at eight thirty and I couldn’t get any more sleep. I am so excited to see Celtic Thunder perform. And I want to faint because I am going to be able to meet them!!!!! I do my hair in a braid. Then I look in the mirror and change my mind. I change it to a ponytail, and then I decide to put it into a bun. Right before we leave I just sigh and take my hair down into its side part how it always it. I do my makeup to make my green eyes even greener. That and my freckles are my favorite part of me. “Were heading out now mom!” shouts Grace. My mom came running into the room. She told us to be safe and have fun and call her. (like always) Grace assures her we will be fine and I simply nod and grin. We go outside and get into my sisters new jeep and speed down the road. The concert is only a half an hour away from home, so we listen to Celtic Thunder the entire way. Grace talks to me about this boy she has been dating. His name is Will. I smile and make a heart gesture and she blushes. “I don’t love him…..yet.” she admits. “We have only been dating for a month.” I just role my eyes. __________________________________________________________________________ hope you like it. I will post them going to the concert and the meet and greets tomorrow if im not to busy! Comment! ;D
