Firefly

Her heart hammered in her chest, pant after pant, she continued. Her world was spiraling out of control in a matter of seconds. One day she could go home the next she was trapped in isolation.

Her breaths become more shallow as her fist swung at the punching bag. Her frustration and anger flew through the bottom of her toes to her finger tips release after every hit. She used that strength to send the bag toppling to the ground.

Coughing from exhaust, she wiped the bead of sweat from her forehead, chugging down the bottle of water next to her. Closing her eyes, she thought of the chaotic past week.

"You don't belong here, leave and don't return" Her father's voice echoed in her head. It held onto her brain making her lose her thought. She was falling apart,yet no one noticed.

"You indolsent little creature, you were never meant to be alive. You should have left right with your worthless mother". Sighing she let her head drift somewhere else. Looking around she noticed it was half past noon and the gym slowly filled up with people.

...

As she walked out the door with backpack in hand, she heard her father whispering. "It's done, she's gone. Now take her off the list" He whispered harshly into the phone

Ignoring the flare of hope in her heart she walked out the door, hearing her father snarl "You promised" before he flung his phone at the wall. Anger evident on his face.
