Away

Chapter 5

I woke up the next day and promised Oggie i'd be back in 10 minuets. i took off in a run down the road to an open spot, i usually don't preform alone but here it goes. I put down one of my old hats an cleared my throat,
"Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on" i started to sing. i dang the whole song
"Had a bad day
Had a bad day" i collected all the money and ran back, when i snuck into Base i sat to catch my breath.
'$40.39 counting the left over money' i thought while i watched my chest heaving.
"Phonix" Oggie asked as she rounded the corner
"Ya" i said standing up
"What did mason talk to you about yesterday night"
"Well..."
"What"
"He asked me to diner" i smiled
"Are you going" Oggie's eyes lit up
"Ya, I'm going out to buy a dress now" i jumped up and down
"Not without me and money" oggie said
"I raised money"
"What'd you preform"
"Bad day" i replied happily as we walked to a nice little dress shop

I had put on 18 dresses and i couldn't find a good one anywhere, then i found a perfect grey low cut short dress. oggie was almost in tears and the laddie at the counter names Triss gave me a bottle of water and a brush so Oggie did my hair.
I felt perfect.
We where walking back to Base with my bag when I said "Oggie there's something important we need to talk about"
"Okay"
We stepped inside
"Yes" she asked
"Well last night Mason and I didn't just...talk" I looked down
"What do you mean" Oggie asked
"We...we kissed too" I said
"Oh my god you did what, we don't even know him and your already making out with him" Oggie yelled
"It was just a kiss oggie" I said defensively
"Just a kiss" she laughed
"Yes it was"
"Oh my god Phonix" she huffed
"Stop trying to be my mom okay I watched her die in my arms, I don't need another one okay Oggie Jesus" I yelled as I walked away
"Pho-" I didn't here the rest I was already in the loft changing, I looked over at our built in board and wrote down Bad Day on the list of songs next to the emergency meaning place paper.

I was 10 and my mom, dad and I where walking home from a store, a strange guy came up to my mom, he told her to hive him her money. My dad walked over after telling me to hide in the dark, he yelled at the man and punched him in the nose the man pulled out a knife and stabbed my dad in the abdomen twice my mom screamed then tried running but the man got a hold of her and stabbed her in the chest 4 times. He took their valuables and ran. When he was gone I ran up to my mom and put pressure on her cuts
"Mommy please don't let this happen, don't leave me"
she opened her eyes "Baby...Brandy be strong for me baby girl" then her eyes fluttered closed
"No" I screamed "please no"
4 or 5 people came one of them was on the phone with the police, a kind laddie grabbed me and hugged me while I cried. For 2 weeks I stayed with the police while they tried to find the man, I provided a sketch and helped with the line up I even appeared in court many times just to be thrown into an adoption home and put threw hell
