I wake up in the dump, garbage piling over me, I dig through the bags and stand, I'm dirty, broken, what happened to me? "Goodmorning" what was that noise? It was coming from deeper inside, I slowly stand up, immense pain in my leg. I limp towards the noise, whincing in pain with every step, I finally arrive at the source of the noise, my eyes widened slightly when I see a group of kids, maybe a little older than me, sitting in a clearing of the garbage. They stop, and stare at me, curious and confused, "where... where am I?" I ask, my little hand reaching out to them for support, "why are you here kid?" One of the boys asks, staring at my with concern, "I don't know i just... I was trying to save Lily and I jumped and I fell and then I was here and I'm scared" I speak quickly, hardly making sense. "Did he say Lily? The girl that showed up a few hours ago?" A girl asked, curious. Suddenly, a girl turned the corner
Lily
My eyes widen and I stare at her with happy eyes, "Max? Is that you?" I nodded in reply.
"Lily what are you doing?" A boy turned the same corner Lily came from, he had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. "Oh, this is Max, the guy I was talking about" I spoke, "Lily, how are YOU here? What happened?" She took a deep breath and spoke, "so after you jumped, you feel and got knocked out, you fell into a bag, I screamed and I jumped out my window to try and save you, I just passed out too, I fractured a few limbs aswell..." My eyes widened at the revelation, understanding washing over me, "and who's your friend?" She smiled and looks at him, "this is Harrison"
