The trees rustle in the wind. The fallen leaves crackle under my bike tyres as I'm riding through the dark abandoned Forrest. A thousand thoughts jolt through my brains flying in different directions, all bumping into each other. My thoughts disappear at the sight of school; it disrupts my inner chaos. I tumble off my bike and attempt to cry. Anxiety fills my lungs, until relief wavers across my chest and I inhale deeply, collecting my bruised vehicle from the ground. Tara's silhouette appears through the gates. Her blurred face became focused, but I still have some remnants of tears in the corner of my eye. I swipe my hand to remove them and follow my friends wave to the school gates entrance. The clouds absorb the Suns light, the grey sky begins to coat the land where we stand. I look down at my feet then back up, with Tara's white tanned skin in front of mine, a smile planted on her face , it was so big that the world could not miss it. "Hey." She says "hey." I reply as I'm locking my bike up, one I finish we walk side by side and head towards our apt where we meet Ally. As I'm strolling along I see my brother Brodie appear out of the shadows. His brown hair and flat body walks towards me , I try to run but my insides freeze as he gets closer and closer. His face begins to fill with anger, his veins pop out of his skin as his fists become clenched. Then all of a sudden my face hits the ground. My body curls up as he starts kicking my stomach, "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Tara yells pushing him away, "YOU CAUSED THIS!" He screams out kicking me twice more. I then hear a crack as his force echoes through my stomach making my insides scream out for help. Then everything goes silent as he walks away. Tara's small figure began to sob , her tears emerging from her red strained eyes, I feel her cold hands on mine. She begins to grasp my hands but I let go , her hand returns to her side . I lay there still, my blood soaking into my hair and smearing onto my face. 2 seconds later I find a circle surrounding me watching and observing my appearance that lay on the floor, my body begins to feel like it had just left me leaving me nothing but flesh and bones. My mind completely goes blank as I stare down to the red stained concrete that has already imprinted on my cheeks . Ally's voice commences, suddenly getting louder as she becomes more clearer, in the corner of my eye I can see her, her eyes fills with horror "MOVE IT PEOPLE!" She yells multiple times scrunching up her nose and causing alarm. People begin to disappear. I feel her hands on my chest as my tiny body collapses into hers as she picks me up. It's all over.
