No one's p o v (ten years earlier)
Lia sat outside, breathing in the chilled air. She smiled as the breeze tickled her freckled nose. The sun had just started to set on Barnes drive; the vibrant colors of the sky brought joy to the brunette.
She knew it wasn't an intelligent idea l, but the girl just couldn't resist. Lia wanted to be closer to the sky, how she adored the sky. Her mother was talking to a family friend out in the patio. It wouldn't hurt to climb the old willow tree that sat in the backyard for years.
Lia knew of her family's hatred for the tree. It couldn't be cut down, she knew it was a nature law. Lia remembered a blondish girl that was very tall with bright, dark eyes. Lia
remembered her parents cry over her; a girl named Lily who was Lia's sister. Lia took a daring step towards the tree.
"What are you doing," a girl with raven black hair asked?
"Nothing," Lia shot back slightly afraid.
Autumn smirked her dark hair in a braid. "You know how your family feels about that tree." Autumn was the ten years Lily would've been and she remembered her friend.
"I was just going to...to...climb it," Lia muttered.
Autumn wasn't a girl that was kind. She was always plotting, "I dare you to climb it."
"I-I won't," Lia stuttered out.
Autumn smiled darkly, "your parents believe me, I'll tell them you did it. Unless you do it."
Lia hated being shoved into a corner, and what a dark corner it was. "Fine."
Lia didn't have to reach the top of the tree; and she was good at climbing trees.
"I'll go with you, it'll be fine," Autumn comforted.
Lia didn't answer as she placed a foot on the first groove. She made it up three branches then checked on her parents, they still haven't noticed.
"Let's go higher, it'll be fun," Autumn insisted.
Lia climbed higher and higher until she was nine feet up the nine and a half foot tree. She moved across the thickest branch and so did Autumn.
"How long do we sit here, I could get used to this view," Lia admired the sky.
"Told ya kid," Autumn crossed her ankles.
They talked but kept a cautious eye on their parents.
"We should head down," Lia finally brought up.
"We can wait," Autumn insisted.
They sat for fifteen minutes then it happened. A crack was heard and Autumn jumped to the main tree. The tan girl grasped at her friend, but it was too late.
What's that expression? Oh yeah... History repeats itself.
Lia collapsed on the ground as blood gushed from her head. Her parents rushed to her side.
Time skip
Lia had a patch on her skull and wore one of those ridiculous hospital gowns. The doctors told her she had re triggered her sickness as I child she was going to die from a illness in her head, it went away. Through a surgery she got better, now not so much.
