Star and Tammy experienced the same tragedy five years ago, now they finally meet again. They get to know each other more and more.
What will happen? will there be any feelings? any secrets? or something else?
She smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back. That was until i noticed the bruise on her lower arm.
''hey, what happened?'' I said as I looked at her arm.
''oh, i fell. I'm really clumsy'' She laughed awkwardly.
''Well, call me if you need anything''
''mm, bye''
She said as she drove away. I don't know why, but it felt like she didn't tell the truth. Well who am I to judge, we just got to know each other. I think. I have a feeling that we've met each other before. I think it's just me thinking too much, but she reminds me of that girl. That girl I helped a long time ago.
''You can't stay here, you need to run'' I yelled as I took her by the hand. She mumbled something that sounded like a name. We ran as we held each other's hands. We hid behind a big rock and stayed there for a while. Holding onto each other.
After an hour or so, we finally got out of there. But it was too late. ''no!'' I screamed as I saw my mom lying on the floor with my sister beside her. The blood puddle was too big.
I was only twelve, that was five years ago today. It still hurts. Instead of walking to my house like I usually do, I walk to the train station, watching as the trains pass by. I wonder if I'll ever be okay. Maybe, maybe not. I close my eyes and unconsciously think about her. Her long black hair, pretty fringe and cat like eyes. She really is pretty, but why do I think about her so much? I have no idea, maybe cuz she's familiar.
It's starting to get dark, and I see my mom and my sister in front of me. I can't stop thinking about them. I wish that never happened to them. But what can I do about it? Nothing. I look up at the stars.
''Mom..I'm so lonely here. It feels like dad doesn't care about me anymore. I try to talk to him, but he's never in the mood. I miss you and Mika. Mika, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you like a big sister should do. I'm really sorry''
My eyes fill with tears and I can't stop them from falling down.
Star's POV
I miss her, Ji-eun. I watched her die, and I didn't do anything about it. I guess I couldn't but still, I could at least have tried.
I wiped away my tears and stared at the ceiling.
''Star!''
I heard my dad yell from downstairs.
''Coming'' I yelled back.
As soon as I got down I fell to the ground. He'd hit me so hard that I couldn't even stand up.
''You don't yell at me! You understand??'' He yelled, hitting me again.
''I'm sorry dad'' I looked down.
''good girl, i wanted to tell you that you got an A+ on your last exam. That's really good''
''Thank you''
''But you still need to be number 1 in your class, so I expect you to be that that when this semester is over''
''Yes dad''
''Now go up to your room'' I nodded and stood up, caressing my cheek as I walked up the stairs.
