Kyra's POV:
'I walked alone on this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams. When the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone'

Some of my favorite Green Day lyrics hit pretty close to home. Almost lover by jasmine Thompson came on as I walked to the playground.

'Your fingertips across my skin, the palm trees swaying in the wind'
'Images'
''The sweetest sadness in your eyes. Clever trick'

I looked over to see Kenny and some older kid on the playground but I payed no attention to it.

'Goodbye my almost lover, goodbye my hopes and dreams'
'I'm trying not to think about you. Can't you just let me be?'
'Song long my luckless romance, my back is turned on you'
'Should've known you'd bring me heartache'
'Almost lovers always do'

I sat on a swing and cried. By the end of the song I was bawling. Why is life such a shithole?

Some kid was beating up Kenny on the basketball court. I tried to look away but it hurt me. Even though I hated him for making me feel worthless I still felt bad for him. This kid looked like he was in middle school and he was beating the shit out of Kenny.

'Cheated and lied, broken so bad, you made a vow, never get mad'

This kid was really beating Kenny up badly. Blood smeared all over Kenny's face as blood gushed from his nose. He was covered in black and blues and his hood was down.

'First you lose trust then you get worried'
'Night after night. Bar after club, dropping like flies, who woke you up'

I wiped my own tears.

'On the front lawn, sprinklers turn on, it's not your house, where'd you go wrong?'

I swung back and forth on the stupid swing.

'First you get hurt then you feel sorry'

That's when I decided I'd go help the stupid asshole because I can't stand seeing a bloody faced beaten up Kenny.

I walked over to the kid and Kenny.

"Dude leave him alone!" I said.

"Hahah what's a little bitch gonna do to stop me?" Laughed the kid.

"Kevin...please don't hurt her" said Kenny between breaths. "You're my fucking brother I dont know why you're doing this"

"Because you ruined my reputation at school! I've already got Zack Marin-ed and you just had to go run your mouth. I had everything. Popularity, my best friends girlfriend"

"I-I didn't do anything I swear" said Kenny.

"Tell that to my hand" said Kevin and threw a punch but I blocked it, receiving the blow and tumbling backwards a bit.

"Kyra you didn't have to-" started Kenny. I punched Kevin.

"I'd be careful if I were you. Zack Marin fucked you over, but keep in mind I'm friends with Renee Marin"

I think that scared him enough to run away. I guess the last name Marin is enough to scare away an enemy. Didn't think Renee's family history plus the Zack incident would be enough to scare away enemies.

Kenny could barely move. His fav and his parka were covered in blood, probably his own. He had a bruise on his eye and a nose bleed. Tears streamed down his face.

I walked over and wiped off as much of the blood as I could from his parka and his face. I sat with him and put an arm around him, and wiped the blood off his nose and pinched it with a tissue in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

"Kyra why are you doing this? I fucked you over"

"Yea I know that but I have a heart and I can't stand seeing someone I know being torn apart like that. Look at you, covered in blood and bruises, barely able to move"

He smiled at me.
"Doesn't mean I've forgiven u for Wendy" I said and his smile disappeared. "Why didn't you stand up for yourself?"

"I did but Kevin's stronger" said Kenny.

"Just tell him you're friends with someone from the Marin family, whether it be Renee, Zack, or Stephanie. I dont remember how many siblings she has. All I know is her parents and brother are up in jail and the kids got spilt amongst neighbors and foster parents" I said.

Even though I was still mad at Kenny, I sat there with him, surrounded by bloody tissues, and he was in my arms, watching the sunset.
