It was January, so that means it's cold, cold means snow, snow means ice, ice means ice balls from Carter to the face. I explained that simple enough right? I was walking home from school with Anna and along comes Carter the Scumbag. (It's his nickname now.) In his hands are two of his deluxe, limited time offer, ice balls. He looks at me says, "Enjoy" and chucks one at me and throws the other at Anna. The ice ball hit home and knocked my glasses off and, well for Anna, she had a bloody face. I'm pretty sure it was Carter's first offense against Anna. She looks at me and asks if it's bad. I say no and that we should hurry to my house to get her help. Because obviously moms do the best work. It took an hour to get home, it was cold and Anna didn't have that heavy of a jacket. We got home and I rush inside with Anna holding her face trying to slow the bleeding. My mom gasps and nods at me, rushes in the kitchen and grabs a wet towel. Anna applies the towel to her face and sits down. When she gets better my mom drives her home.
The next day rolls around and it's WEDNESDAY!!!! Ugh, I hate Wednesday. I get to school, put my stuff in my locker and get to class. The first thing I notice is that Anna isn't here. My phone buzzes and it's from Anna. It says, well I got pneumonia. Won't be at school 4 a while. Ttyl. I put my phone back into my pocket and sit down. School dragged and dragged. Until my daily abuse fest from Carter. (Let me tell you we're in 8th grade now. Should've said do earlier but I didn't, deal with it.) He's walks over to where I'm standing grabs my shoulder turns me around and slugs me in the stomach. He says, "Oh very curteous of you to bow. You slut!" He then kicks me in the chest and says, "Enjoying it aren't you? Just like you enjoyed your dad forcing himself in you." I cough and he elbows me in the back. I fall down on the asphalt outside in the school yard. I didn't get up for a while.
A couple days pass and I get a text from Anna, but when I look it isn't her that texted but her mom. It said, Ashley I'm really sorry to tell you this, but Anna just died of pneumonia today. We tried hard to not let it happen, but she just couldn't fight it. Her last words were for you. They were, "Never give up, I know Carter sucks, but you can do it. I believe in you and loved you." I'm sorry.
