Chrissy's POV // Age 13:
"Hey girl, Hey!" Annabelle chants when I walk in the door. I smile brightly, and look at my surroundings.
"Where is everyone?" I mutter, looking around her open plan kitchen. I see no one.
"Mom and Dad are out to dinner, and everyone's in the basement."
She grabs my hand, and leads me down the steep sloping staircase in to the basement.
"Chrissy is here!" Annabelle announces.
Everyone looks at me, but I just keep my eyes on Carla. She meets my glare, and then smiles at me. She has her hair in a loose messy bun that suits her chestnut hair, she has a baby blue v neck t-shirt, and black jeans. I slowly walk over to her, and give her a slight wave.
"Hi." She offers, looking over my head.
"Ok, so now that everyone's here we can go." Annabelle shouts.
"Anna, why are you announcing like its a party, there are only 5 of us." Jan jokes.
It doesn't seem to amuse Annabelle. Allen chuckles along with Carla, but Anna and I just keep quiet. How rude of him to say that!
"Anyways, where are we going?" I ask looking directly at Annabelle.
"The park!" Anna does this little victory dance, that has us all shocked...and scared.
"Ok, let's go then." Carla says holding back a laugh.
Carla, Jan, Anna, Allen, and I all approach the park. Anna and Carla run toward the field. Jan and Allen stay behind with me. I watch as Carla and Anna roll down the hill like logs (more like idiots). We hear a distant scream, it's Anna's. Jan sprints down to hill over to Anna. I run after Jan, and Allen follows behind me. Anna's got her face down on the ground, moaning as if she's hurt.
"What happened?" Jan demanded to Carla.
"We were rolling down the hill, and then Ann hit a patch of rocks, and tumbled off course! I tried to save her but it was already to late." Carla said rushed.
"TO LATE?! Ann! Ann?! Do you hear me? Are you ok?" Jan panicked, kneeling next to her. No response. Jan tries to roll Ann over to make sure she's fine.
"Allen, help me roll her over."
"Dude, she's like 89 pounds, you can't roll her over?" Allen mocks.
"Just help me!"
Allen and Jan roll over Anna, to expose her laughing face.
"AHHH! ANNA!? ANNA!! ARE YOU OK?! DO YOU HEAR ME?" Anna imitates in her Jan impression
"Ann, that's not funny, I thought you died!" Jan says relieved.
"Man we got you!" Carla announced.
"Nah I got you." Jan remarked, attacking Ann and Carla.
I looked at Allen, this would be a good time to leave.
"How's Sue?" Allen asks, helping me up on to the jungle gym.
"She's...the same." I sigh, leaning against the edge.
"Well, has she gotten worse or better?"
"She's always been like this Allen."
"She's always slams you to the ground and punches your face until it bleeds?"
"Sometimes worst."
Allen's eyebrows furrow. I think he's shocked to hear that what she did didn't really shock me. Maybe it was the fact that I wasn't that mad at her? Maybe because I still had the balls to come here when I obviously knew that Allen was coming?
