I am panting... I keep running though even threw my tears. I ended up falling scraping my knee enough to see the blood come down. Get back up and keep going there is no stopping now. I ended running into the woods where no one would ever find me.

My parents try to stop me but I keep going. I can hear sirens in the distance. As I thought they were drawing closer and closer. I could see the flash lights going around they were looking for me I got up and made a dash for it again. I did not want to go home I wanted to be alone. Josie is all I thought about.

                                             Why did she do this? Why is she gone? Why is she dead?

I wonder about all of the question, but the question don't have any answers. But there is one question that does. I know why she is died. How do I deal with this pain? I know I can't just keep running for the rest of my life. I was told to face problems not push away the problems. But in this case this is just to hard.

                                                                                                       ***
It is the next day and I found myself on the cold hard ground. I thought for a moment what is going on? Then I remembered what went one with her..
I was found in the woods later that day. There was this area in the woods that was my safe place, were I could calm down and just breath. That place is were I go no matter what. The people dragged me away, I started to cry and I just wanted to me alone I didn't want anyone near me that could hurt me like Josie did. They put me on a a little bed and off I went in the ambulance.
There were so many questions, so many people surrounding me. I shut down I stop talking and blocked the world out. I gave it a couple of minutes and then I told the people my friend died. The sad thing is I know how. All I remember from that point on is getting checked in a room. Then getting stitches for my leg. My parents were not there yet. My nurse informed the office to call them and get them down here asap. They said I lost a lot of blood and that I was too skinny for my age and I need food now. They never look at the positives they always look at the negatives. Why? There was so much going on I did not know what to do. The last thing I remember is me slowly.. closing.. my.. eyes.. Good night I said good night.
