Our dad told us everything about what happened.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, girls this is why I left your mother."
"I didn't know what was happening, I kept seeing things and couldn't function."
"So you just left?"
Lydia said, she was still sniffing away her sadness.
"Well, not exactly- uh!"
He cried in frustration.
He covered his face with his hands and cried.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you girls, I shouldn't have trusted her in the first place!"
He cried more furiously and laid his head on the table.
I stretched myself over his back and hugged him.
"Dad, it's in the past, it's over now."
I said trying to comfort him the best I could.
"I know breezy, but it was the wort mistake anyone could make."
He said lifting his weight off the table and hugging me back.
"Aw dad, we still love you, even if we thought you were dead for 10 years."
She said as one last tear rolled down her red cheeks.
"We all sat up and and chuckled at her little remark.
"Girls guess what?"
"What?"
We said in unison.
"Tomorrow is the first day of your new school!"
"Oh great..."
I said.
Since our dad lives around an hour from our house and town we must go to the school here.
"What's the school called?"
"Lake wood, I think it is?"
"Oh, ok"
I said trying to sound as happy as possible.

"What the hell!"
"Wha-"
I said trying to figure out what was happening.
I looked around, I saw sitting on hard cold cement, I was in a parking garage or something. But no cars were in sight.
A fog filled the room and fire was spreading.
"Get up now!"
The voice said and pulled my hand to lift me off the ground.
"Breez!"
Said a man.
He was quite attractive and wore a black leather jacket and a red shirt.
He also wore a pair of jeans.
All of his clothes were dirty, ripped, and demolished.
He lifted me off my feet and ran tears the exit.

I nearly screamed as I looked at myself
My clothes were ripped and blotches of blood stained my body. That wasn't even the worst part. I looked down at my arm and saw a huge chunk was gone. Muscle and bone was freshly cut and open.
That made me panic and scream.
"Oh my god!"
The boy said. He looked down at me and the whole world stopped and slowed down. I saw his violet eyes peer into mine. But what I saw in them was more surprising I felt something, something nobody has ever made me feel. I felt loved, like I was worth saving, like he was willing to give up anything in a moment  just to know I'm safe.
"Wake up, it's the first day of school!"
Lydia screamed as she jumped on me.
"Okay I'm up, I'm up!"
I said as I sat up sleepily I'm my bed.
Dad had managed to sneak into the house last night and take everything he could before he felt the girl in his presence. I got dressed in a black short sleeve shirt and a pair of shorts. I straightened my long blonde hair and put on a pair of converse.
"You girls hungry?" My dad said as he flipped a pancake.
"Oh, yes!"
My sister said and ran to the table as dad put down a stack of pancakes.
U sat down and ate a stack of pancakes.
After breakfast we piled into dads car and dropped off Lydia at the middle school.
"Breez, you ready to start your new school?"
Dad said as we pulled into the street.
"I don't really know."
I said as I watched the out the window.
We pulled into the school. I already knew this was going to be bad.
As I walked out of the car a girl stood in front of me looking as if she saw a ghost. I remembered who she was.
This was the girl who changed my life.
My old neighbor.
