Disposable Teenagers

Chapter 4: Crooked Young

Shannon's POV:

"Oh I remember all this now" I said to the boy. "Thank you for bringing me here. I think I know my way back" I smiled.

"You're welcome. Do you want me to wait here; I can walk you back so you don't get lost if you like?" He smiled "It gets awfully rough round here" he offered.

"You don't have too" I smiled back, "you have already done so much for me!".

"I can never do enough for such a pretty girl like you" he blushed. DID HE JUST CALL ME PRETTY! OH MY GOD! NOBODY HAS CALLED ME THAT BEFORE!

"Aw thanks but I'm not"

"You are, I will be waiting over here for you" he gestured towards one of the cemetery walls.

"I won't be long" I called as I walked through the gate. I can't believe what he just said, until it suddenly hit me where I was.

The muddy path seemed longer than normal as the overgrown grass covered some of the fallen gravestones. I remember this place all too well.

"Hi Chris" I whispered as I knelt beside a fresh-looking, well-looked after grave. "It's me, Shannon, your sister. Me and mam have moved back up here. I don't like it but at least I'm closer to you. The school is crap, how could you deal with it? well... I guess you didn't really" my eyes started flooding at the thought, "God, it is so weird to be back here, back without you" I chocked. "I miss you so bloody much Chris" the tears started to stream down my face, "It is not the same without you and it never will be. Never." I wiped my tears away, looking back up to 'mystery boy' who had his back to me; giving me privacy. "I best get going Chris. I will come back soon and visit you again. I cried as I rubbed more tears off my tear-stained face. I cleaned some muck off his name plate before getting up and walking back down the muddy path. 'God I miss him so much'...
