( talk about self harm and abuse )

"Everyone introduce your self to your friend next to you."

Thea turned to the little blonde girl next to her who had the same bow in her hair.

"Im Thea." She said

"Im Sarah."

"Are we friends now?" The child asked

"Yeah." Sarah nodded

"Ok. Wanna play with my polly pocket my mommy bought me?" She asked

"Yeah!" Sarah followed her new friend to her sparkly purple backpack and the two sat on the circle rug and played with the polly pocket

"My brother took her blue dress. He is mean."

"Is he in this class?" Sarah asked

"He's over there at the coloring table." She pointed

"He took my lollipop at the park yesterday."

"I'll get you a new one."

The two met in their Pre K class. They were always in the same class from that point on, they rarely fought and were inseparable. They needed each other.

-

They all stared at the heart with their friends name burned into the wood. Thea couldn't cry anymore, she had cried ever day almost all day..thats more than she has ever cried in her life. She lost her childhood best friend. She was betrayed by the only man who didn't treat her like garbage, turns out hes a killer, and her ex boyfriend, the one who would almost choke her til she fainted. His hands that hurt her killed as well.

JJ toasted his flask to the tree, "To John B."

"and to Sarah." Kie added looking at Pope and then Thea.

Thea put the box of John B and Sarahs things down into the ground and watched as the other 3 buried it. She watched numbly.

That night Pope and Kie were in a hammock together staring at each other. Thea was giving herself a tattoo. JJ knew thsi was her way of self harm. The tattoos. The ones she gave herself anytime she could. He didn't know how to tell her what she was doing was included under the self harm umbrella. He understood.

The made her way over to the tree after she finished her Tattoo.

"Hi." she put her chin on JJ's leg.

"hey." He smiled

"Can i sit with you?" She asked

"of course." he motioned to the other half of the Tree.

She hoped onto the branch finding JJ cutting up a branch he found. She turned to see Pope and Kie staring all lovey dovey at each other.

"Do you think they like each other?" She whispered

"Maybe." JJ answered the girl

"JJ. I want them back." She said remembering the pain

"Me too baby."

Thea was forced to go home for school and the funeral. Everyone was actually really good when it came to leaving her alone. She knew it wouldn't last long but she will take it.

The funeral. She hated it. She couldn't listen to the memorial she was stuck staring at Rafe. Tears blankly fell from her face as she numbly stared Rafe down. He killed the sheriff, and he was here? How? They made eye contact once. It was more of a battle on who would last the longest. Who was less afraid of the other. Who had more control or power. Who was the one who wasn't a liar. Thea won. She was honestly proud for not giving up.

Thea walked into Kook Academy with eyes drilling into her soul. The whispers. The looks of disgust. She lost all of her friends this summer because she was hanging with the pogues. She proudly tied her hair up with a bandana and pulled out the chunky beaded necklaces, even though it was really nothing to her. She knew it was everything to her peers.

She had begged her parents to let her withdraw from the Academy. She hated it. Of course it ended in an argument with a few hands on activity but Thea could not succeed. The academy started 2 days before the public school so she was going to make the most of it.

She was proudly postering up the halls with flyers saying John B was innocent. She was going to make her parents want to let her get out of the Academy. She had been apart of the announcements for the last 2 years so might as well speak the truth over the announcements as well.

Anytime she heard anyone say anything about John B being a killer she would almost kill them. Half of the time it would spiral into a deep breakdown. Teachers would have to pull her away from the student before she could even lunge to them.

She was sitting in her English class bored out of ber mind listening to her teacher rant about the book they had for summer reading which Thea most definitely did not read. Her phone vibrated and she looked down to see a text from a unknown number. She furrowed her eyebrows and opened the text.

It was a picture of John B and Sarah.

She grabbed her bag and stood up.

"Ms. Thornton. Where do you think you are going?" The Teacher asked

"The cut. Fuck you bitches!" She flipped off the class and ran out.

She ran with her bag the whole way. She ran hollering and sobbing tears of joy. She told Kie she was on her way to the Wreck. She arrived and ran to JJ. He picked her up and spun her around.

"There alive!" Thea clapped

"Nice uniform." Pope said

"Yeah i got dress coded today..and yesterday..and the day before that."

"Why?" Pope asked

"My skirt is to short and we can't wear anything other than black shoes..but i like my pink ones better."

"Well i think the skirt could be shorter." JJ said raising his arms

Thea pushed his face away.

"So are we goin to the Bahamas or what? Thea asked

"Exactly what i was thinking." JJ gave her a high five
