Once I'm sure everyone has gone to sleep I take out my spare phone and call the only number I have on there
It rings twice before she picks up
"Hello"
Her voice is the glue I need to mend my heart back together.
" Reg" I say with true happiness.
"How are you, I was so worried about you, where have you been?"
I laugh " Calm down, I'm okay, I'll tell you more when I have time. How are you?"
"I'm okay, they are no longer investigating. The town is raising money for repairs to take place."
" Thats good, I told you it was going to be okay."
" No Zee, someone is in the hospital with burn marks, if they die you could be charged with some kind of murder charges."
My recently repaired heart becomes cold. My entire world starts spinning. Maybe I heard incorrectly. I couldn't have. I didn't mean to. None of this is my fault. But it is, I took the blame. Everything that comes with it will be my burden to bare.
"Zee are you still there?"
" yeah, if they weren't fine the police would have told me." I know thats a lie. They will want to catch me by surprise. They didn't want to let me go but the law was on my side.
" I have to go, I'll talk to you later."
I hang up without waiting for a reply.
I manage to get to my bed. My heart is racing, could I be responsible for someones death? I don't want to worry about it but I know I will. It takes me a while but I fall asleep dreaming of blood,fire and an unknown body.

Ting ting... ting ting. I don't think there is a sound I hate more. I actually hate everything about today. Its a Monday, it is 6 in the morning and it is already boiling hot , and I start at my new school today. I get out of bed and take a cold shower. If it wasn't the heat keeping me from sleeping it was my nightmares.
I miss being able to sleep peacefully . Now closing my eyes just terrifies me. I get out of the shower and pick an outfit. Simple light blue baggy jeans and a black crop top with long sleeves and vans should do. I leave my hair lose so my eyes don't get too much attention. I put on some pink lip gloss and head out.
Pancakes and eggs with a serving of fruit are on the table when I arrive down stairs. Isabel is wearing a red apron with kittens on it. The perfect house wife. I greet her good morning and help myself to breakfast.
The warden comes down a few minutes later.
" How did you sleep?" He asks.
" fine thank you"
" do you know how to get to the bus station?"
Shoot! I'm going to need the warden's help.
"No" I say through my teeth.
"Okay, I'll show you" he says with a stupid smirk on his face.
Isabel comes in a sits with us. "I've arranged everything you will need. All you need to do is go to reception. We can also go get your textbooks this afternoon."
"Thank you." I make sure to put a small smile on my face. It must be nice to have a hands on mother. I wonder what if feels like to be loved all around. These little ones are lucky.
After breakfast we make our way to the station. He offered to drive me to school for my first day, in case I needed anything. I saw right through his plan. His trying to spend time with me. I don't what to get to know him, I won't be here any longer then I need to be.
"I'm guessing you'll take the bus home?"
"Yes" I reply and get on the bus. When I look back he looks like he had something to say, something emotional. He quickly rearranges his face and waves at me instead.
