Running From The Past

Chapter 36

It had been over a year since Captain died. All of the girls didn't know what to do without her. Charlie went to another asylum but was let out quickly because they thought she had got better. But she was only worse. The voices had gone but her memories came back to haunt her. Every night she would wake up screaming because of a nightmare. She was too afraid to sleep.

Her and the others now all lived together. It took a while for their parents to let them but they were allowed eventually. Their parents offered to pay for a flat but they turned it down. Instead they went to their favourite place. The tree. Charlie felt it was the only place that she could feel close to Captain or Red.

Everyday the five would buy flowers from the same shop after work if they had it and go to the cliff and the houses. The two houses were where Cyrus, Flower and Red died and the cliff were Captain died. Since none of the bodies were found all that was left for them was a memorial.

Charlie was sat on a root of the tree when Glinda came up to her.

"How are you feeling?" She asked quietly.

"I don't know anymore..." Charlie murmured.

"I was looking through your phone...she left something for you..." Glinda sat next to her passing her the mobile.

"Captain?"

Glinda nodded.

Charlie unlocked her phone and saw a file on its own. It was named 'Love C xx'. She opened it and was bombarded with pictures. She looked through each one. Smiling for the first time in months.
