Chapter 1

August 26th

"Wait Tom please don't leave me...please not again...I need you!!!" I screamed at him as he walked away into the smoke without even a glance back to me. I fell to the ground shaking and crying. I couldn't stop screaming.... Then I felt a falling sensation and fell back into reality. I woke panting with tears streaming down my face.

After I realised I was just in my room and it was just another nightmare my breathing went slowly back to normal. I felt really hot and saw that I still had my doona on so I kicked it off and wiped the tears out of my eyes. I suddenly felt really ashamed and embarrassed to be crying over the nightmare, i should be used to having the same nightmare every night.

Then my alarm decided to go off sounding my time get up and prepare for school. Looking in the mirror, only to be greeted by a scaring looking creature with bags under eyes, I could just tell it was going to be another long day. So in an attempt to contain the beast, I brushed my mane into a braid and put on a light amount of makeup so I didn't get questioned again about my eyes by Mitchell, my best friend. Don't get me wrong, he's the best but he can get a bit protective sometimes.

After changing into my uniform, I grabbed an 'Up and Go' and ran to the bus yelling good morning to my mum along the way. Thankfully my older brother, James, was already on and at the back of the bus. I gave him a slight nod and slid into a free seat towards the front of the bus and let my earphones drown me with sweet bliss called music all the way to school.

The minute the bus pulled into school I jumped off and tried to put as much distance between myself and James. The more the better. As I headed towards my groups local hangout or 'The Tree' which is really just a big tree that we sit under each break to hang out together, I saw that Mitchell was already there with Karla and thankfully Tom hadn't shown up yet. Karla was my girl best friend and really like a sister to me, she meant everything to me. "Heyy babe!!" she sang out to me. I couldn't help but smile went she wrapped me up into a big bear hug. Over her shoulder I could see Mitchell smirking at me and giving me a shy wave so I returned it with another small wave. Then I heard the voice I had been anxious yet dreading to hear..."Hey guys, how are you all?" called out Tom. I couldn't help it, I just froze up, not wanting to look at him.
