Run(on hold)

A never ending nightmare...

"SARAH! SARAH! SARAH! SARAH!SARAH! SARAH!" It was that memory again. The bullet. Again and again. The blood. "Run, Stacy". Sarah's sweet voice."RUN!RUN!RUN!". "Please Stacy! Oh no, it's too late...." Bang! Bang! Bang!

"We are gathered here today to pay our respects to Sarah Styx". "It's pronounced Sty-ck! She is dead, at least say her surname right. And you try to talk about respect!" We were only one minute within the funeral and already people were getting on my nerves.

"Pardon me, Sarah sty-ck" I nodded. "Continue" everyone was staring at me. "What?" They stopped staring now. "As you all know, Sarah was an incredible person. Sarah's mum, Lily sty-ck, was prisoned when Sarah was at the age of five and her most beloved father has suddenly died last Friday. However she persevered and continued to fight all of life's struggles and I personally think that she was an inspiration, to many of us siting here today."

I looked around me. I did not know any one but Stephanie and Ellie. Sarah wasn't very religious which is why she is having a very simple funeral which her, godfather (how doesn't even know how her surname is pronounced!) is leading. Anyway poor Sarah! Why did she never tell me this?

She told me that her mum was away on work and nothing about her dad. She made up this big lie about her mum being a world famous singer. Aww. I can't deal with this! My best friend just died and I never made her feel like that she can trust me enough to tell me about her mum or maybe even her dad.

"Unfortunately, three days ago, Sarah had a very sudden heart attack in the middle of a shopping mall". She didn't have a heart attack. She was shot, three times right in her heart. Two men in black suits who looked like security guards, nodded at each other. Oh no, one of them moved their jacket just enough so I can see his gun.

I looked at my watch and froze it. Everyone froze. That's something new I've learnt I can do. Freezing time. I slowly walked towards the guards and spun around to see everyone's face expressions. Most were crying. Stephanie was leaning on someone's shoulder. No idea who but someone. And Ellie was staring at where I was before I froze the time.

And the two men, they were there. They both had see-through ear pieces which had black writing on the corner. F.C.K. What can that possibly stand for? At the moment, I didn't really care. I just needed to empty the guns so no one gets hurt.

I reached out for the guns. 22 magnum mini revolvers. They were made by the North American Arms. They are very accurate and perfect for first time gun users. Plus they only weigh 5.9 ounces. What? One of my hobbies is learning about guns. Guns are extremely interesting!

Anyway, the annoying sound of birds continued and I shivered in the cold breeze. Just then I realised how annoying life really is. My best friend dies, my mum is no where to be found and me and Stephanie aren't even talking.

I took the guards guns and aimed at a far away tree. Bang. I hated that noise. Bang. "Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!". Bang. I fall to the ground, dropping the guns out of my hands. I stood up again, wiping my tears away. I closed my eyes and started to shoot in the same direction. Bang. Sarah. Bang. Sarah. Bang. Sarah!

I was on the ground again. Sarah. Only if I can speak to you. Only if I had another chance. I would of taking the bullet. I looked over to Ellie and unfroze her. She immediately ran towards me."Stacy, oh Stacy". She held me in a tight, cozy hug. "What are you doing with them guns?" I nodded towards to the two guard looking men.

"I knew there was something odd about them". She was still staring at them, whilst hugging me tighter. She finally looked down at me."I don't know what to say? I have never ever lost any of my friends and I hope I wouldn't in the future either. But I do know that it must be damn right hard".

I liked Ellie. She doesn't try to give advice on anything that she doesn't understand and she only speaks the truth. "I know right now, it feels like your life is crushing down and maybe, it's not worth living but always remember there's no rainbow without rain".

"And you had much more rain then others so you'll have an even bigger rainbow!" I smiled. "The more pain, the more glam". Ellie laughed. "Ecatully! Now let me burn them guns, don't want anyone to get hurt". I nodded and moved back away from the guns. "Ok I'll go back to my seat and you can come join me when your ready. Don't forget the people are still frozen". I laughed.

When she finally reached her chair I froze her again. I made my way back to my seat whilst scanning everyone's faces. I sat down and listened to the birds who wouldn't give in! After a few moments, I decided it was time. I looked over to my watch and unfroze it.

The two men looked over to where their guns were then down to the ground, where the gun's ashes are now. Ellie looked over to me and smiled. "Does anyone have any final words to say?" No one said anything. "Ok, then. Now you can give an donations to Sarah chosen charity... The ummm...".

"The heart charity!" Someone shouted."The heart charity!" He nodded towards the boy who shouted that out. Who is he? He looks around my age. Maybe he went to my school? I don't know. All I could see was his dark brown hair. "So yes. You can give your donations there and the food is right there in the corner".

Everyone stood up and either got food or donated some money. That same boy who shouted out 'the heart charity',walked up to Stephanie and hugged her. Stephanie's bright blue cast, shined on his face. It was Brandon. "Bran-" I stopped my self but it was too late. He looked over to me. "Stacy!" He ran towards me as I got out of my seat.

"Brandon, I missed you so much!" I was so happy to see him again. "I missed you even more! Where did you go? Me and Stephanie were worried sick!" We both made our way to sit down. "Umm I found out that I was adopted". I trusted him enough to keep my secret."Aww! Stephanie come here right now!"

Why is he calling Stephanie over? He held me in a tight hug. Stephanie came and sat in the row of seats in front of us. "Stacy, I'm sorry that I had a go at you for no reason and that I-" I stopped her. "It's not your fault, I was being a pig". Stephanie smiled and reached out to hug me. I hugged her back.

Brandon smiled slightly. "Stacy was adopted". So official! Stephanie looked over to me. "Oh ...Do you know who your real parents are?" I nodded. "I live with my real dad but I have no idea where my mum is". She nodded back. Brandon laid his head on my shoulder. I knew he was trying to be strong but he just lost his girlfriend, he needs a break.

"When are you guys going back to London?" Brandon sat up straight. "We're staying for the Christmas holidays. Thought we'd see you and explore Scotland!" He faked a smile. Stephanie looked over to me. "We're staying in this hotel ummm... I think it was called stewed? My mum already paid for it and all".

"Come on!" I stood up. "We all know Sarah wouldn't want us to stay here moaning". They nodded. "So I'll show you around. We can grap a sandwich and then watch a movie... On me!". "Ok, let's do it!" Brandon faked another smile.
