Scars Before Reality

Chapter 2

I woke to the quarrel of my mum on the phone. I got up from my bed and began my daily routine. You know, showering, makeup and stuff.

I slid on my high waisted jean shorts and mint green jumper, sitting down on my bed I groaned as I looked at my thighs expand. I lifted up my leg and pulled back the meat I didn't need. I lent over on my bed, reaching as far as I could stretch to pull out a sharpie. I began to make small marks where I don't need the extra jiggle. I growled as I wiped the marker. A tear splashed on to my thigh smudging the marker more, I gulped as I stared at the mess I made.

A soft knock on my door made me jump. "Come in" I mumbled as I hastily threw a pillow on top of my legs. My mums brown eyes stared into mine as she sat herself on the end of my bed. "Darling" she stuttered pulling a strand of my dark hair around my ear. I looked up. "I just came off the phone with the department of human services, the bills weren't payed in time and w-we have to be moved out of here in three days" muttered mum. "Where" I asked as my eyes shot up. "We are moving out o-of Melbourne" stuttered mum. "WHAT?" "But mum, what about school? What about Koryn?" I screamed. "You can still talk to her but you are just in different time zones" mum fidgeted. "Wait. Where are we moving to?" I shouted. "LA America" She answered back. As I heard that come through my head I threw the pillow from my legs to the floor and stomped out of my room.

I panted as my hair flew through the wind. The smell of freshly cut grass and incoming rain flowed through the air as few cars drove passed not noticing me. My wild eyes watched everything go passed as my speed increased. My feet thumped louder on the concrete. My chest thumped violently and my teeth began to chatter. I stopped.. as I looked at a silver car and Koryn's house, my heavy breathing was the only thing I could hear. I stepped off the pathway. I closed my eyes as I tentatively walked across the road, I opened one eye, the car was coming closer. I took a deep breath. My hands began to shake. A horn made me open my eyes in shock. "Get off the flaming road" yelled a deep voice coming from the car. I shut my eyes tightly, a gust of air flew back my hair as a terrifying skid caused me to flinch. I fell back. As I lay there on the ground, today flashed through my mind. I curled myself in a ball. "God either make things better or please just take me" I repeated. I don't care if I was to die right there because... I want to. "Abby!" I heard a scream come from the distance. "What happened?" She asked her hands shaking and tears falling from her terrified eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I mumbled my voice full of rage and ruin."I-I'm moving" I stuttered as I sat myself up. "What? No, you're joking right?" Koryn laughed. "No I'm really not" I sighed. "I-I'm moving to LA." I muttered. "WHAT?"
