The Way To Fall

Chapter 1

She stood there with him. I knew that day would be bad, I just felt it, in my bones. I thought something was up as soon as she introduced him to us. The sly grin and greasy hair was all but good.
Her name was Rose, her skin was pale and her hair was as dark as a raven's. Her deep blue eyes gripped the people she looked at, making them incapable to move or even speak in full sentences. She loved that. When people struggled because of her. You could see in her eyes the sensation and impact the pain of others gave her, but she was still my best friend. She made sure I was always at the right place at the right time. Even though I stood in her shadow I knew the world was not always nice, and Rose always seemed to keep the monsters at bay. I was never scared or alone, like I was before I met her. She opened me up to a group of new prople , not the nerds I was usually amongst, but the people who cheated in tests and skipped classes. It was thrilling the first month or too, I made a promise to myself that no one would change me, my morals and values and when I seem to fall in the dark depths of popularity I regain my senses and do something that will push me back behind her, where no one could hurt me. I thought she was invincible, that was till he came along, he had this way of getting beneath her skin, she was completely under his spell. When he said jump she replied, how high.
Myself (Erin) and my other two best friends, Natalie and Lily always saw this kind of stuff happening, Rose using boys. she had enemies, lots and that's why she was destined to fall.
