Things have been going well with Miles he smiles more, laughs more and doesn't flinch as much.

Today I'm off to town with Kayla after my homework. We were gonna go to costa and drink hot chocolate and chat, well that was the plan.

We met outside my house at 3 o'clock and tried to walk quickly to town, after Kayla complained loudly how her legs were to short to walk fast.

After spending hours in the coffee shop we decided to leave, by now it was getting dark but both wanting to save money we decided not to get the bus.

We chatted loudly, trying to keep our nerves at bay. Then we walked past a dingy alley way, casting my eyes cautiously down it, I could make out a figure crumpled on the dirty floor.

"Kayla wait," I said quietly grabbing her arm, "there's someone down there."

"Great!" Kayla replied sarcastically.

"Look" I pointed towards the prone figure on the ground, "He looks like he needs help."

"Belle," Kayla said sighing dramatically "you can't save everyone!"

Ignoring her I began to walk down the dingy alley was towards the body.
"Do you have no common sense?" Kayla asked sounding worried, "who knows what happened to him? Maybe whoever did this to him is still around, Belle we need to get out of here!"

Ignoring her I continue down the alley towards the person. When I reached the figure I bent down trying to take his pulse, "I think I've got a pulse" I say shouting to Kayla, "Call an ambulance!"

"Watch out!" Kayla shouts. I turn quickly, but not quick enough as I feel a hand grasp on to my wrist...
