Astrids POV

It was two in the afternoon and the boys were playing a game of football in their back yard. I sat on the side line cause my head hurt. Like someth-

~~Flashback  Astrid At 15~~

"Why are you leaving?" I woke up and whipped the sleep out of my eyes and checked my watch.

2:20am

"Im leaving cause of you and I'll be taking our daughter when she wakes up in the morning." I moved out of my bed and took the sheets off. 

"Your not taking her, cause shes all I've got." I heared yelling come from the kitchen so I sneeked in and saw dad holding a bag.

"You dont care about her Lucy. You havent put food on her plate for more then a week, I have and Im finding it hard. And your only keeping her cause you dont want to feel alone. You need help." I hide in the shadows and watch mom walk up to him.

"You need help Ben, not me. And I love her with my everything an-"

"If you loved her she would have food in her mouth and power, but she doesnt. What does that show Lucy. Im the only one working day and night to support both of you but your on your ass crying over Greg." I heard a slap making me take a sharp breath in.

"Astrid we know your there." I peeped around the door and there they were all smily like nothing happened.

"Im going on a bussnies trip and I was saying that you should come with me." I looked at both of them and then saw a red mark on my dads face. His green eyes were burning into my soul as well as my mothers.

"Astrid go back to bed, me and your father are talking." My mothers words were snappy and aggresive.

"I know your leaving dad." My mothers intense glear was like acid burning into my skin but I pushed it away and ran up too my dad and hugged him.

"Astrids coming with me." I was ripped away from my father and behind my moms back.

"Leave or I'll call the cops." I cried for my father but he just walked out of the door in silence. I ran to my room and cried into the pillow.

"Im sorr-"

"LEAVE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs,  got up and slammed the door in her face. 

Hes gone, Gregs gone and now its just me and my shit mother. What am I going to do I've lost Greg last month now Im losing my father, I cant, Im alone. Nobody can save me. I cant handel it now.

Days went by and I was losing the light inside. I was locking myself inside and I was building walls up. Nothings going to break them and I will make sure. Cause I've lost the ones I loved and love.

Their both the one that got away.

The one that got away

~~Flashback over~~

I smiled as tears fell down my face. I remember. I remeber the bitter sweet memories of my past life. I dont know what to say.

"I REMEMBER!" I yelled getting up and running inside. I grabbed my Penny off the chair and ran outside again but I was on the footpath. I layed the penny down and took off wihout another thought.

I felt wind brush through my fingertips and flow through Cams Magcon jumper but I dont care right now. I remeber the most importaint things of my life. 

I jumped off my penny and started running towards the kinda familiar house and opened the door. I ran past Lucy and sprinted up to my room, I slammed the door and started rummaging. I went through my draws and chuck everything out trying to find my life. I went to the closite and pulled clothing off the rack and chucked them away but looked in the pocket before I throw them away. I pushed objects off the draws and look everywhere until I looked under my bed and find what I was looking for.

A Photo.

~~Flashback 11 years old~~

We were all at the beach playing in the sand when dad called all of us over.

"Everyone huddle in and take a photo." Dad yelled as everyone pushed and shoved eachother so we could all fit.

Greg was in the middle, I was standing next to him, Gina was on my left side and mom and dad were on the other end holding eachothers waist looking in eachothers eyes. I jumped up and Gina held me like we were just married well Greg was in the middle with his arms in the air and a smile on his face. 

When we heared a click I jumped off Gina but tripped making everyone fall with me. We stayed in the sand laughing our asses off.

Thats was the day everything was ok. No problems, no nothing. I was popular and wasnt depressed but as soon as I turned 12 everything changed. My life changed.

~~Flashback over~~

I held the photo close to my chest and cried. 

All the money in the world couldnt buy me a time machine sadly. But if I could, I would go back to that very day and just watch how happy we were and be greatful about it but I cant I can only look at it through a photo like I have a clue.

I cried and shove the photo in my pocket and pulled myself up with my bed blakets and cried louder letting everything go.

I yanked the blankets off the bed and hurl it in the corner. I kick the objects on the floor making them go flying across the room. I tip my draw over and scream my emotions out. I walk over to my computer table and push everything off that as well tossing everything at the wall and scream as everything broke. I flip my computer table over and kick it as hard as I can making a dent in it.

I yelled out my everything and kicked the wall. I walk into the walk in closite and grab my shoes throwing them out and watch as they hit the wall. I pull the racks down that held the clothes and throw them on the floor and storm out. I storm over to the door and locket it and as soon as I do I hear yells come right outside as well as bangs.

I walk into my bathroom and smash the bathroom mirror making my fistes bleed but I couldnt feel anything so I did it again over and over again with both of them. I open the cabinat up and pull everything out grabbing out the pills at the back and pour them into my bloody hands. I walked back in the room and slid down in the corner and cry as I lift them closer to my lips. I pull the photo out from my pocket and look down at everyones faces.

I scream and throw the pills at the door and as soon as I do its knocked down by an angry Cameron. I run out on my balcany and close the door. I rip the photo into millions of pices and throw then away into the wind and watch them leave. I put a foot on the railing and then the next. 

One step is all it took and I was falling.
