She's that skater

Chapter 12- Return ticket

Skating on my new deck, a million thoughts crossed my mind.
I could enter the X games as a guy, but i know i'll mess up get caught and be disqualified then be made out to be a bigger laughing stock than i already am!

What will happen when i return 'home'?

Where did Eric go on that night i ran from him?

I pull my bag back onto my shoulder

"TAYLOR! i've been looking for you. How dare you run away from me? Who was that guy you was with at the skatepark when i was shouting you?"

Crap.

So it was Eric.

I skate faster, pushing my foot off the ground harder, swerving trees and lampposts, increasing my speed, my adrenaline rushing and blood pumping so fast i can almost hear my heart beating!

I turn to my left which leads me to the city.

It's a busy day so picking up my deck i run! shoving people along the way.

Train station sign pointing ahead.

Panting like a dog, legs weak, anytime soon my heart will disconnect from the insides of my body and rip out of my chest!

I run down the stairs and arrive at the station. Looking around me i don't see Eric. I've lost him.

"There she is!"

"Get her!"

Surely not me

"Oi, rat bag"

"Where's Blake? In hospital because he got aids from you?Whore."

As soon as i turn around

WACK! 

across my face. Talia and her slaves.

She goes for a punch, dodging out the way she swings for another, i block the punch and twist her arm,

WACK!

straight in her face with my deck. I try to escape, when i feel nails digging into my shoulder pulling me back.

Flooring me to the ground. Kicking my sides. Punching away at me. Stomping on my stomach. I did nothing, what's the point? i'm too weak to go up against them all. I feel eyes filled with worry glaring at me. I curl into a ball wrapping my arms around my stomach, crying for them to stop.

"STOP IT NOW" a girl's voice cries out.

I hear a smack,a scream, and footsteps running.

Someone runs back

WHAM!

A punch busting my nose, they run off.

I open one eye. People rush towards me

"Omg are you ok?"

"What happened?"

I don't answer any of them. Why should i, they didn't bother to help me, all standing there like hopeless kittens then as soon as the damage is done they 'care' enough to 'help' me

A girl approaches me with a fresh instant black eye. She offers me her hand and drags me up.

She looks very familiar but at the moment i can't think.

"Taylor. What happened?" she picks up my bag and deck, handing it to me

I step back and pop my eyes wide open. Then it clicked!

Amelia!

Eric's girlfriend.

"Nothing. What are you doing here anyway?"

"It doesn't look the nothing to me! And i was planning to go your house, to surprise Eric" she giggles whilst blushing, probably at the thought of seeing Eric. She went away to live with her dad for a while but i guess shes back in town to live with her mum.

"What are you doing on the other side of town anyway?"

I shake my head

"Long story"

"Long train journey" she winks

We walk over to the ticket machine.

"Return or single?" she asks

"Return. For tomorrow evening."

She nods, taps the screen, slides her card in and gets the tickets. The closer i am to getting home the more likely i am to being sick.
