what could go wrong?
what happe...
I felt a hand touch my shoulder, causing me to jump out of fright and move away from the person. But no matter what, refusing to look at the people behind me, I felt ashamed that I was doing this in front of such a large group of people, but I didn't really care. I was more worried about what was I supposed to do now that I didn't have anyone.
At least where I was before, if I could even call it home, I had my horrible mother and sisters. But now, I was truly alone.
And there was nothing I could do about it.
"Are you alright?" a male voice asked me. The voice was a bit deep, but it was kind, I couldn't stop myself before I looked up at the boy. And the least I could say about my reaction was that I was shocked, the boy had multiple arms and had a blue-Ish mask covering where his mouth would be. His eyes held a great amount of concern, and after processing what the boy had asked, I turned my head away and started crying even more.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" An elderly, feminine voice called out, followed by a group of heavy footsteps. A lady walked Infront of me and knelt down to be face to face with me. "Deary you shouldn't have run off like that-" before the small old lady could continue, I backed away from her, "stay back! don't!". despite my best efforts she's won't back away.
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!", quickly standing up, startling everyone. Looking at all of them they backed up, ready to fight. they almost look scared; I didn't understand why. looking down at my hands in shocked! but I didn't show it. I'm glowing? how?

The small gray haired elderly woman stepped closer '5 meters away from me, 16 feet', she spoke up again. "it's ok sweetheart, I know your scared and your hurt. But we can help you, you just need to calm down, take deep breaths and come back inside." "How do I know you're not going to hurt me?". Looking behind her I could see an R-rated looking lady making the class 'I think?' leave, going back inside. Ganging my attention again, "because my job is to help people. I'm a school nurse, but even if I wasn't I would still help you." For some reason I believe her, in almost a whisper "ok" Taking a few breaths and shutting my eyes, I feel normal again. Well as normal as it gets.
Opening my eyes, I feel something wrong. I feel lightheaded. "I-I, wh-whats h-happing?'" I stammer out. Looking down I could see the gash my mother had given me 3 days prior re-opened bleeding out, so much blood, it feels almost reassuring. that's maybe, just maybe this time I won't wake back up. And would that be such a bad thing, I could see my dad again. I miss him so much.
Before I start to fall forward, I see the old lady looking worried and the other remanding adults running towards me. but before I could feel the impacted of the ground, I was out.
