Him. of course the flashbacks would start with him, because he is the sun, the beginning of my life. I was running, crying, a girl ran after me but she was brushed aside by him. he was a hurricane, but worse. hurricanes aren't deceiving. His arms were around me in a second as and my tears blurred into a new image.
"I love him" I heard myself say to Astrid and I could feel the trust I'd felt, I was a fool but even now watching myself do this again, knowing what comes next but I couldn't stop myself, all I could do was watch.

My mind traveled to a darker time -
"what?" I tried to join in on the laughing but I wasn't allowed
"oh you're too innocent to know"
"she hasn't even cut herself once!"
- to a time where everyone was against me, a time where scars were a badge of honor, where all I did was wrong. But that time was gone.

"I hate her" Punzie was sitting with me.
"me too"
"I'm sorry" Punzie and I may be best friends again but things were awkward between us, like a little darkness had got stuck in her and wouldn't come out, another thing I couldn't fix.

He was staring at me, had been for the whole lesson, occasionally we'd make eye contact and he'd smile, I could easily recall the exitment I got, the exitment I got every single time. And then I was falling.
