What Ever It Takes♡

I awoke to a yell coming from my basement. I quickly jumped up and slipped my shoes on. There was the yell again. It began scaring me. It sounded as if someone was being murdered. I got downstairs and found 3 men dressed in black holding my mother, and my little 3 year old brother hostage. They had them tied up in a chair with a gun held up to their head.

I was terrified and was about to run up and call the police when another 2 men popped up behind me and carried me to a room with their hand held up my mouth. My mother was crying loudly knowing these men would try and do something to me. When the door shut, there was a loud gunshot.

I jumped up realizing I had just had a flashback that only occurred 8 years ago.

You see those 5 men had killed my little brother. My mother and I survived, and The police arrived in time when they were about to kill my mother. The men wanted to kill my family and leave me alive. I don't like talking about it. I don't think anybody would. Anyways if those guys wanted to do something why didn't they just freaking kidnap me instead of having to kill little brother?!?

After the incident my mother became VERY abusive and alcoholic. She would bring different men in every night. Sometimes she even let the men have their way with me. When my school vice principal found out of what my mom was doing to me, I was immediately put in an orphanage. My kind new mother Esperanza took me in and took very much care of me.

I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes as I had just had memories flowing in my head. I quickly got up and ran to the shower. After I was finished I quickly changed into a long flowy top and some ripped jeans. I hopped downstairs to find my lovely beautiful mother cooking breakfast.

"Good morning princess" my mother said as she kissed the top of my head. "Good morning Mama" I smiled. "How did you sleep mija?" My mother asked. "Umm...well, I keep having the flashbacks." I said to my mother. My mother quickly brought up another subject obviously not wanting to talk about my flashbacks, she tries her best not to bring them up, mother tells me that, that was the past, we are starting a new life now.

We ate breakfast talking until I realized what time it was.

I quickly got up brushed my teeth, and grabbed my shoes. I kissed my mother goodbye and ran towards Kourtney's house.

"Hey Sofie, your late, let's go!" She chirped.

"Sorry, I was just running a little late." I said.

"Ok, well let's go!" Kourtney said.

I nodded and hopped in her car. Kourtney is one year older than me and can drive, we have been friends since I was 9.

As we were heading to school I decided to crank up the music. I put in Taylor Swift's The Story Of Us and Kourtney and I began wildly singing to it.

We got to school and Kourtney parked the car. We got down and my 'friends' immediately surrounded us. We made our way through. One of the school jocks, Dylan came up to me while I was by my

locker.

"Hey babe, what are you doing this Friday?" Dylan asked flirtatiously. "Going to the hospital." I said. "Well, you should cancel those plans and maybe come over to my house" he said beginning to wrap his arms around me, trying to touch me.

I was terrified that he would try to do something to me. He has been known for raping girls. I am traumatized and never even let a boy grab my hand, or hug me. I may be the most popular girl in school, but I don't ever have relationships, I don't think anyone would after they go what I went through. Thankfully the bell rang and a teacher told him to not get near me again. And he le-wait what?!? The bell rang!!!

I quickly ran to my first period and took my seat, I had math first and was ready for school!!! Woo!^.^ You might think I am CRAZY for loving school, but I'm not your average popular girl. I am not snaughty, slutty, mean/bully, and all those things mean popular girls are. No, I have my VERY nerdy and geeky sides.

Classes carried on and soon the first day of school was over, although it went great! Did I not mention today was my first day as a Freshman?

No? Sorry. :T my phone buzzed. I checked and saw I had a text message from my mom.

Mom: Meet me @ Starbucks in 5, so we can go shopping! Xxx

I texted her saying that I'll be there.

I put my phone away and searched for Kourtney, I found her sucking faces with some guy. Kourtney always had a boyfriend or was always sucking faces with some guy. "Hey I'm going to Starbucks to meet my mom alright?" I said to Kourtney. I tried talking to her so many times, but she was busy sticking her tongue down the guys throat. I decided to just text her later and walk to see my mom.

I began walking towards Starbucks. I was just crossing the streets when I heard a loud horn and someone yelling "WATCH OUT!!!" I turned to my side to see a huge Truck coming towards me.

Suddenly everything went black.
