Chapter 2:Why Me?

I spent that whole Saturday with Brad. He made me happy, no one had ever done that. They'd all made me sad and depressed. I didn't understand the feelings that were bubbling inside me, so I brushed them aside thinking it would turn in to hatred. Hate, like I hated everyone. I did not want to hate this boy. If I did I would lose my only friend.
"When do you have to go back home?", Brad asked startaling the silence that had surronded us. I didn't know what to say, I bit my lip. I do that alot ever since I was little. I couldn't tell him the truth. I just couldn't. My heart beat stronger and faster as every second ticked by. I avoided his gaze and tried to think of an answer. My mind began to panick, as an answer was not found. My view became hazey as I didn't know what to do. All I remember is the sun turning black along with my surrondings.

*I was floating, I looked down. I could fly! I soared across the clouds skimming them as I may. The sun was warm on my back. All of a sudden it grew cold, I stopped still in mid air for a split second and then I plunged. Facing down I saw Brad by my body. It was limp. I was falling faster and faster, I hit the ground with such a tremendous force*

I saw the red glow coming from my eyelids. It was just a dream, I thought.
"Zara? Zara?", a voice grew clearer by my side as I gained back my conciousness. I stirred my body to check I was all right and I felt a hand against mine.
"Hello, earth to Zara? You with me?", the voice grew louder. All of a sudden It felt as if I had been under water and had just re-surfaced. I took a long breath of air and sat up quickly, letting the street light flood my eyes. I felt cold and wanted nothing better than to wish I was dead.
I stared ahead of me and turned to see not Brad but a paramedic by my side. I looked around frantically where was Brad? A voice grew from my mind saying 'I told you so. I told you no one liked you. I told you, I told you not to let people intrued. I told you they would all leave you, leave you with no where to go. Come crawling back eh?'. I silenced my mind and tried to regain my bearings as the paramedic shined a torch light to my face.
"We better get you home", she said.
Home? I didn't want to go back, not after I had run away from there. She'd beat me and kill me for sure. I knew it. I dreaded each second as my life ticked on. I knew she would hurt me. Nothing could save me. Why me? I thought, Why me?
