Aliza held onto her brother, keeping him under the bed with her. He was crying, snot running down onto her hands, which were held over his mouth.
She whispered in his ear and also kept an ear open for any footsteps.
"Shh, Kaiden, shh.. It's okay, it's alright.. Sissy's here."
She smiled at him.
"It's okay. We're just playing a game.."
Kaiden smiled back. She let her hands fall to the floor quietly and held him close.
"S-sissy?" He said loudly, and she covered his mouth quickly, gasping in horror.
Footsteps, loud, quick, and angry.
Her mother's face appeared under the small gap between the bed and the floor.
"Come here, you little bitch!"
Aliza was dragged out by her hair, screaming and kicking. Kaiden started screaming, and Aliza wrestled free from her mother's grip.
Now her mother charged towards Kaiden, who'd made his way from under the bed.
She smacked him aside, hitting him hard in the head, sliding him across to the wall.
He screamed in pain.
Aliza jumped up and ran to him, picked him up and then ran down the stairs, to the front door.
It was locked.
Aliza's heart dropped.
"Not so smart, are you, bitch?"
Aliza ran to the kitchen and put Kaiden under the table.
"Stay here, and shh!"
She ran back to the living room, her mother was there now.
"Here, have some of this!"
A glass bottle of vodka hit Aliza hard in the side of her face, scratching her and breaking. She closed her eyes tightly and screamed.

Beep. Beeeep. Beep.
Aliza opened her eyes to her alarm.
Her face was still bruised and bloody from yesterday, and Kaiden was now staying with his grandma.
She sighed and got up to get dressed and go to school.
The walk was far- took about an hour, so she had to get up at five.
It was cold, but she only had a thin hoodie.
Her mom was passed out on the couch, a stale smell of vodka hung in the air.
Sighing, Aliza left her house and began the long walk to school. Edited June 19, 2012 by Aureity

Erin saw the van coming. He saw it coming right towards him. His small body couldn't get away in time. From the moment he saw the van, his three year old body had been thrown inside. He could see the man smiling down at him with a malicious grin, knowing that he was going to hurt him. He attempted to cry out for his mother, but the man held a gloved hand over Erin's mouth and said,

"Say a fucking word kid and I slit your throat."

 

From the second after that Erin cried. Even when he was saved by the police, he cried every night. He still remembers the man's ugly face, and the way that he smelled. He had constant nightmares of that horrible day, and many more terrible things happened to him. From then on, Erin decided to be outgoing, and to be everyone's friend. He made this decision in middle school.

 

He quickly changed his mind. He was ridiculed for his size, for his pale skin, for his hair. He was always insulted for the way he dressed and acted. He was cut down from society to the point of constant suicidal thought. His mother could care less, and sends him to the highschool that is eating him alive. He dresses into his normal hoodie and tight black jeans and walks outside the door, earbuds inside his ears.

"Booberry! Get up dear." Booberry was Strawberry's nickname, everyone called her that and she liked it. It made her fell cute. Strawberry, although being an uncommon name was very fitting for a girl like her. Strawberry put her finishing touch, a strawberry clip, in her hair and left her home. Strawberry embraced her name. She always wore red, strawberry scents and strawberry accessories.

 

Strawberry waited at the end of her drive way as usual. By 7:30am she knew Aliza, her best friend, would be walking by. Right on time. "Good morning." Strawberry smiled as she began to walk next to Aliza. Aliza smiled, "good morning." Strawberry noticed the new bruises on Aliza's face and frowned. "Here, you can borrow some of my concealer for today."

Aliza smiled shyly.

"Thanks, Strawberry.. I wish I had money to buy my own.."

She sighed.

"Kaiden is at grandma's again." She whispered, biting back tears.

[Finesthour 7,287]

Erin sighed as realized the heat that was outside. He took the hoodie off of his head and continued to walk down his street, his long black hair bobbing while he walked.He sighed softly as he saw a little boy playing with his father down the road, his heart feeling as if it was going to break. He quickly started to walk down the street to the other end, to which he saw two girls talking. He looked at both of them for a moment, and wondered how it would be just to have a woman talk to him.

 

What he did not notice was a large bus was bolting down the street right towards him.

[Shankveld 4,949]

"Don't worry about it! My mom just got a new job, so we can afford all kinda of extra things now." Strawberry smiled brightly until Aliza mentioned Kaiden. "What? Really? Again?" Aliza hide her face, "that bitch, She's behind this. She always is. You can call him from my place tonight if you want."

[MachineGunLola 408]

Aliza nodded. "Well, I put him there this time... I want him to be safe."

She whispered, and then turned, hearing the bus.

She saw a boy standing in the direct route of it.

"Oh my god," she whispered, and ran towards him, "Look out! The bus! The bus is coming!" She knocked him to the curb, landing on top of him, just as the bus went past them.

[Finesthour 7,287]

(It's awkward because this HAS happened to me before)

One second Erin was simply walking, the next he was flat on his back with a woman on top of him. He had the breath knocked out of him, which caused him to start to pant. He had his hands spread behind his head as to not touch her. He had heard her say something about a bus, and saw one pass by. He then looked up to the sky. He said quietly to no one in particular,

"W-what just happened?"

Starwberry nodded, "you're such a good sister Aliza." Suddenly a honking bus was speeding at a young boy as he crossed the road, and it didn't look like it was stopping. "Oh my God!" Strawberry screamed as Aliza ran towards the bus, "Aliza no!" Aliza was able to dodge the bus and knock the kid out of the way too. Strawberry's heart was racing, but she could take a sigh in relief as she dashed over to the two. "Oh my God! Are you two alright?!" Strawberry asked helping the two up.

[MachineGunLola 408]

Aliza nodded, her heart beating.

"I-I'm fine... Are you okay?"

She asked the boy.

[Shankveld 4,949]

"You're bleeding!" Strawberry covered her mouth as she gasped and pointed to Erin's elbow. His hoodie was ripped, which revealed his scrape. Strawberry dug through her purse until she found a tissue. She pressed the tissue on the boy's cut, "this will stop the bleeding."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Erin flinched when she pressed the tissue to the cut, but allowed her to keep it on. He looked at both of them and started to stammer something incomprehensible, extremely nervous to be around people for the first time in ages.

[Shankveld 4,949]

Strawberry gently rubbed Erin's back. "Hush now. You're in shock. Deep breaths now. You're fine." Strawberry smiled as she spoke softly, her hand was warm and it felt good to be rubbed. Strawberry smiled up at Aliza, "you owe the girl your life, her name is Aliza. My name is Strawberry."

[Finesthour 7,287]

Erin decided not to embarrass himself further, so he just nodded. His lips curled into a small smile as she rubbed his back, the pain slowly becoming irrelevant.

[Shankveld 4,949]

"I'm so relived. I thought you were a goner. I can't believe that truck didn't even attempt to stop! I wish I would have written down that maniac's license plate number." Strawberry heard her cell phone alarm start to go off. "Oh my God! We need to be at school in 10 minutes." Strawberry had never been late for school in her entire life, "we'll never make it on time!"

[Finesthour 7,287]

(I was going to get us a ride, but I dunno if you have anything planned or not ;_; )

 

Erin looked up at Strawberry with sad eyes. He wanted to say something to calm her down, but couldn't find the words. Within himself he screamed,

*WHY AM I SUCH AN IDIOT*

[Shankveld 4,949]

The boy was still silent. Strawberry frowned she felt she skin begin to crawl. Her day-to-day routine is what kept her in tact, her mental state in check. Strawberry looked at Erin and Aliza frantically for answers, but there faces offered no help. Strawberry ran her fingers through her long pink hair in frustration. "Why today of all days!?" She finally exclaimed. "Well what are we standing around here for? Let's move!"

[Finesthour 7,287]

Erin nodded his head and pointed towards the school and started to speedwalk.

[MachineGunLola 408]

Aliza was on the track team, so she started to run. She wished she knew someone to drive her to school, she knew Strawberry was getting anxious.

But she knew no one.

Sighing, she ran a bit faster.

"Come on Strawberry!"

[Finesthour 7,287]

Suddenly the girls started to run. Erin began to run as well, his nimble frame allowing him to run quickly.

[MachineGunLola 408]

(hey gaiz. i think we should wait for Strong to post now.. and then, wait for me again. D; I wake up around 1pm lololol)

[Finesthour 7,287]

(Ya'll are gonna continue on without me by the time I wake up .-.)

((sorry guys D:))

 

Brandon opened his eyes and sat up, not having an actual alarm clock he had to rely on his internal one. Looking around, he sighed, he stayed in an old abandoned house just within the neighborhood, much better than staying with his stepfather. He got himself washed, then dressed for school. The old house was grown over with brush, making it difficult to see who was in there, he walked out of the driveway directly into the path of Aliza, who ran right into him, hard.

[Finesthour 7,287]

(Oh hur hur Strong xD Anyways, don't post in this while lola is asleep. She'd be PISSED.)

Erin saw a boy run into Aliza, who knocked her to the ground. He immediately found his voice and said.

"D-dude, what's your p-problem!?"

[Strong Hooves 289]

((she ran into him))

 

Brandon yelled out a surprised "What the fuck?!" as she ran into him. He looked down and fixed her with a hard look, but it softened.... only a little. He noticed the cuts and bruises on her face, and he felt almost empathetic. He then whipped his gaze toward Erin as he spoke, "Shut the fuck up, she ran into me!" he snapped at him. He then held a hand out to help up Aliza, saying nothing and not even making eye contact.
