I walked through the halls with Dustin by my side, everyone was whispering and staring at me only Dustin and to my surprise, Eddie was not talking about me. During 2nd period I had to go see Miss Kelly, Chrissy had just walked out and as she left she flashed a smile at me. I sat down in Miss Kelly's office, she looked and I was concerned I knew what she was about to ask me. "Amelia thank you for coming. Today I want to talk to you about what happened 2 weeks ago on Friday." the words slipped from her mouth I didn't know what to say " I know its a  touchy subject but we have to talk about these things to move on from them, so Amelia why did you feel the need to kill yourself?" she continued as a tear rolled down my cheek I felt trapped I wanted to spill my guts and tell her everything I wanted to tell her about Billy and how he didn't die in a mall fire how he was killed by that brutal monster. But I couldn't. I needed to get out of there so I left 

I ran to the woods tears streaming down my face, I sat down on the bench and remembered that day the day I first met Eddie but at that moment the thought of him couldn't ease my pain. I just wanted Billy I sat there wishing Billy was there. That's when my feelings overwhelmed me I fell into a trance I saw Billy standing looking at me before he came to sit next to me. Billy took my hand and kissed me I felt happiness take my body into a state of pure bliss the only person I wanted in my life was back. But it swiftly changed blood stains appeared on Billy's white shirt and his face dropped as pain crept into his eyes. Billy fell to the floor pain taking over his body and finally taking him away from me again. I stood from the bench Billy's limp body was on the ground blood spewing onto the grass. At that moment I felt my heart break again just this time I had a glimpse of hope in my heart a light shining down on me and I couldn't let go of him not this time. "BILLY WAKE UP DONT LEAVE ME YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME NOT AGAIN" I screamed shaking his body blood covering my hands. At that moment time stopped. 

Then this vision meted away and Eddie was there shaking me " amelia... Thank god your okay you looked possessed" Eddie said with a shake as he sat down. I didn't reply I was scared to my core what just happened to me? Was it a dream I didn't know but I forgot when I really realised Eddie was there with me? In the middle if my thinking Eddie started to shout my name again. "Amelia, Amelia, AMELIA. EARTH TO AMELIA."  I looked at him a smile spreading across my face "hey I haven't seen you since my first day in the hospital, thank god you found me." his eyes lit up as he met my stare "It's no problem I'm just glad your okay" he slid across the bench and put his arm over my shoulder. I felt my smile grow bigger and my face light up like a tomato. But then I heard a familiar voice Dustin was looking for me but as soon as we saw Dustin run towards us Eddie removed his arm from my shoulder. " amelia, Miss Kelly is looking for you, I was really worried about you why are you out here?" Dustin said letting out a sigh of relief " why are you here with Eddie? Amelia don't tell me your buying drugs again!"  Eddie looked offended "I won't be selling her drugs any time soon don't you worry man," Eddie said reassuring my brother. after that Dustin took my arm and dragged me out of the forest but as I left I flashed Eddie a smile.

I got home The forest incident playing on my mind why hand my mind made me see my worst pain again. My brain decided to put me through the worst part of my life again but why would I do that to myself. Let hope peak at the door so death could slam the door shut again. Now the pain of Billy's death was fresh and playing on my mind more intensely than usual but with all this, on my mind, all I wanted was a joint. So I walked to my room and locked the door. 

Sat on my bed getting ready to roll a joint I couldnt stop thinking about Eddie and the way he put his arm round me. did he see the tears that had run down my face moments before he showed up? I couldn't be sure but all I know was that something was starting between us but I don't think I am ready. Billy only died a few months ago I cant just forget, I cant just move on he loved me and I loved him. But I couldn't be sad forever no matter how much I just wanted to curl up into a ball and die. I couldn't after I woke up in hospital Dustin was broken I couldnt leave him again so I  need to find the will to live again. Eddie could be the key to fixing my broken heart to make me want to live again.
