Tracy would pick up the sheets of paper from the concrete her bruised lip was sore and her eyes could barely open'' Mom....'' she would cry out.

7 mins before

Tracey would begin walking home from her new school before sitting down on a concrete slab, a group of boys would begin walking  close to her as she paid her own business ''Hey you Tracy?'' the boy would ask raising his eyebrow ''Um Yeah..''She would reply looking up at them''Wasnt you the one who hit Evie and had her sent to a hospital or sum.''He would ask her folding his arms.'' no it wasn't me.''Tracey would say. She dreaded that familiar name as it brought back everything she had done to her.''Pure bull, Evie told us everything, about how you became a crack whore.''He would go on.'' she lied she manipulated me into everything.''

Tracy would yell at them fueling anger in the two guys. The guy on the left landed a punch straight at her eye causing Tracy to fall holding her eye.''Fuck you... son of a b..'' Another punch landed on her lip.'' Don't you ever touch Evie again, let's go bruh.''The guy right of her would spit on her as they walked away. Tracy would sit there with her notebooks and things on the ground and she couldn't get up from the ground her cell would be in her back pocket. She would slowly dial her mom.''Mom, can you pick me up..''She would say her mouth would quiver as she formed her words.'' Trace where are you.''Her Meline would say as she got up from the couch and put out the cigarette.'' I'm on 37 Street close to the school.''Mel would begin going to the car to get her. *Fast forward* The evening grew cold and Tracey waited for Mel to come. The soft lights of her mothers 2000's Ford would shine on her. Mel would run to her slamming the door ''TRACY, oh my god what happened to you.''Mel would ask looking at her face. Tracy looked down ''Two guys jumped me as I was walking home.'' she would say softly, her mom would lead her to the car helping her pick up all the papers from the concrete.'' I'm taking you to the hospital and then we will file a report.''Mel would say beginning to drive to the hospital as Tracy watched the cars silent. Once they reached she had a CAT scan and x-rays taken of her as Mel watched holding in tears. The nurse would take them back to the room as Tracy waited on the bed.''Mom this is ridiculous, I'm fine.''She would mutter as she barely looked over at her.''Baby we need to know if you are  fine, Mason is home.''Mel would say as she would be stressed out. The two would wait for the doctor to come back ''So no bones were broken and everything is fine, minor bruising and I recommend taking it easy with screens and ice.'' the doctor would say as he gave a light smile Tracy would roll her eyes. mel would be released ''Thank you doc.''The doctor would nod. the nurse came back and dismissed them.''I told you I was okay.''Tracy would say as she held an ice bag to her right eye. Mel would sigh ''Tracy this is serious, are you hungry?''Mel would ask her as she pulled into a McDonald's nearby. ''No, I'm not fucking hungry.''Tracy would snarl.''Tracy I cannot put up with your crap, Im buying you something.'' Mel would order Tracy a Burger meal and herself a coca cola.'' this is yours.''Mel would say giving Tracy the bag.
