                        Part Three

 This Writing Is Based On True Events

After Hazel and her sister had moved back in with their mother, her life slowly got better. The fear of bugs stayed as strong as ever and she refused to play outiside during the summer.

Her aichmophobia stayed as well and she had a hard time concentrating in school from her depression. Eventually, her mother met someone.

A year after her mother had been dating, she eventually got married to Hazel's step-father, who was in the military. Hazel didn't dislike him, but saw him more as another adult.

They got married on the beach, of course, and soon after went to a Dave and Busters. That was the only time Hazel ever wore a dress.

And what happened next? Well, what always happens to military families: they move.

Now, I'm sure almost everyone who reads this has moved at least once, right? How did it feel to leave your home, your family?

They had moved to Colorado Springs in 2012. Leaving behind two dogs, her father, and her family, Hazel spent most of the trip lying lifelessly on the airplane and in the back of their car. 

She had never heard of Facebook, or any type of social media. They had only had one extremely old computer for an electrical device and she owned no phone, so she couldn't contact them.

She started at another new elementary school yet again. Her family lived on a military base in another apartment. November 20, 2012 was when her step-sister was born, Jean. 

Things got better after that. Hazel would spend all day watching over her new sister, playing with her instead if going outside. But, as the years passed, Hazel's sister Jean was eventually diagnosed with autism.

She couldn't talk in full sentences and had an attention disorder, so it was hard for her to focus on her surroundings. Eventually, they moved out of the military base and for the first time in Hazel's life, had their very own house.

Another move led to another elementary school and Hazel was forced to eventually interact with people. She was provided with her very own mentor, and her depression steadily decreased.

In 5th grade, she found something to keep her mind off the pain. She found music. She had joined her 5th grade band as a flute player, and she was happy.

Of course, things back at home grew heavy.
