4:55pm

i climbed up the bars and to the top of the huge slide. this is like a hiding spot for me. i was waiting on billie now. i saw her car turning the corner. shes gonna get bombarded by people.

billie

is that you at the stop of the slide

yea

watch me get bombarded by people

better run

yea lmao

i watched as billie got out of her car and looked around. she ran to me at a fast pace trying to avoid people. which she did. i watched as she climbed to get up here. she sat up here and i scooted over. i didnt wanna be close to her. or anyone.

-

we just sat there talking and watching the people leave so we could have the park to ourselves.

-

"wanna go sit by the lake" billie said in a baby voice. i laughed and nodded.

i jumped down waiting for billie. she climbed down instead like a little chicken.

we walked over to the lake and sat down. i took my jacket off and used it as a pillow. "smart" billie said. i hummed in response.

5:30pm

i watched syd as she was throwing rocks into the lake. she said a few words here and there. i couldnt make her sentences out though.

8:45pm

syd and i sat in the grass watching the sunset over the lake.

"its so pretty" syd said. "yea" i agreed. she said those words like shes never seen the sunset before.

"have you ever seen the sunset?" i asked. she shook her head. "why not" "because i was either in the hospital or somewhere else" she said. "may i ask whats that 'somewhere else'?" i asked in a weird way. "i dont wanna say" she said putting her knees to her chest. "why not" i said again.

"because i feel like you wouldnt accept me for being a person or not believe me" syd said. "oh. i will always accept you as a person" i said.

we tried to talk about why she couldnt tell me but gave in instead.

"i was put in jail" she said. "why" i asked. "i was caught with weed, cocaine, and i was drunk that night" syd said playing with her hair.

i stayed quiet.

"thats what everyone does" syd said getting up and walking to her car. "syd wait-" i began. "what." she said yelling. "i believe you and i trust you on that." i said making no sense.

9pm
"you dont understand how hard it is
for people to trust me just because i was thrown in jail. no one trusts me or accepts me for who i am." i just stood there listening to her. i felt bad for her. "people think im a insane person and think i have a shitty personality. they think that because theyve never seen who i am. because they. cant. trust. me." syd said.

she got in her car in drove away.

i sat on the bench and started cry.

9:20pm
i pulled away watching billie in the mirror of my car. i feel real bad for leaving her.

i told her why i was thrown in jail and she looked at me like i was insane or something. i dont want her seeing the shitty person i am. i dont want her knowing what ive been through. i dont want her knowing anything. or anyone in fact.

9:30

i was getting a phone call as i walked out the gas station.

"hello?"
"wait, what happened"
"is she okay?"
"ill meet you at the hospital"

everything just got worse. my mother kidnapped and shot. i knew i shouldve let her stay at my place.

i flew down the street avoiding cars the best i could. i turned the corner making myself lose control of the car and wrapping it around a tree.

9:35pm

i walked back over to the lake noticing syds jacket in the grass. i picked it up and left the park.

-

i stopped at the red light and watched ambulances fly by. i watched where they went and saw there was a car wrapped around the tree. it looked like.. syds car. i turned the corner as soon the light turned green and flew down to the accident. i pulled into a parking lot and ran over to a emt asking what happened.

"maam you gotta stay back" he said. "i just wanna know what happened" i said. he sighed. "do you know this woman that crashed." "yes, her name is syd williams" i said hearing my voice break. he let me by and began to talk.

"we looked on the street cams and found out she was flying through traffic at 98mph." the man said.

he then began showing me the footage. "right as she turns the corner, she loses control of the car and wraps it around a tree" the emt said. "is she alive?" i asked worried. "i am not sure" he said.

i saw syd on a stretcher and she was covered in blood.

"oh my god" i said breaking down. the emt was trying to comfort me and do his job at the same time. "karl!" another emt yelled. "ill be right back" he said running to the other emt.

i sat on the side walk in tears.

"you can follow us to the hospital, theres gonna be a cop following behind you" the emt said. i nodded and quickly ran to my car.

9:45

i heard the sirens so i pulled out of the parking lot with a cop following behind me.
