Lia: "I HATE YOU LIFE! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME?!"

?: "Hm? Did I hear someone yelling just now? Sounds like it came fro----... SH*T! Is that girl going to jump?! I have to go do something!"

THUD THUD THUD THUD.

........................................................

Hi I'm Lia. I'm sixteen and I'm five foot four inches tall. I have almost black but brown hair. I have light brown eyes. And here's a story.

6:50 a.m. Friday, February 21. Lia's home...

CRASH!

Stepfather: "You B*TCH! You have now broken the new vase! Clean it up now!"

Lia: "I-I I'm s-sorry. It was a-an accident. I didn't m-mean t-----"

SMACK! Lia's stepfather smacked her. Lia's thoughts: Oh-no... That's going to leave a bruise.

Stepfather: "Don't talk back to me! Just get the da*n glass cleaned up!"

As soon as he left Lia began to cry. Cut.

Lia: "OW! I cut my fingers. Oh well... it doesn't matter anyway..."

Sobb... Sobb...

........................................................

11:45 a.m. School...

RRRIIINNNGGG!

Teacher: "Alright. Class is over. You may go to lunch now."

When I was in an empty class room sitting on the floor... three students came up to her. Two girls and one guy. They all seemed to be a little older than her.

Student A: "Hey twerp. what are you doing. Why aren't you eating? Too poor to eat? Well!"

Student A was a tall black haired girl. She appeared to be at least eighteen. Or at least tall for her age. She had a baseball bat.

Lia: "..."

Lia's thoughts: Here goes this again... But new people this time...

Student B: "Hey! Ann said something to you! Are you deaf?!"

Student B was a little shorter than Ann. And had reddish hair. She seemed about seventeen. She had nothing in her hands.

Ann: "Yeah Bailey is right you b*tch! Now answer me!"

Lia: "..."

Student C: "Hey little sis. Let's stop the chitchat and get this done before lunch break is over. Okay?"

Student C was a boy about eighteen too. He had short blonde hair. He seemed to have a pocket knife.

Lia's thoughts: Uh-oh. This can't be too good...

Bailey: "Okay Conner."

Then they surrounded Lia.

WHAM! Ann hit Lia in the back. KICK! Bailey kicked Lia's side. So far Conner wasn't doing anything. And then... THUD! I blacked out.

........................................................

Lia: "Ung... Wh--- OW!"

As I took a look at myself I noticed... I was covered in my blood! I had cuts all over me. And I was bruised everywhere too! It was very dark where I was. There was one window. And it was dark out. I started to feel around.

Lia: "Am I in the school storage shed?"

Then I saw a light. It looked like a flashlight.

Lia's thoughts: It must be a guard! I need to call for help!

Lia: "H-HELP! PLEASE! S-SOMEONE HELP ME!"

The flashlight shone through the window. The light was right on me.

Guard: "OH MY WORD! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?! DON'T WORRY I'M COMING!"

And with that he opened up the school storage shed. As he did so I started to black out. What he said wasn't quite clear to me. The last things I heard were...

Guard: "MISS?! M--S?! Are you alright?! What ha---ned to you?! I'm going to get you to the hosp---!"

........................................................

BEEP...... BEEP...... BEEP......

Lia: "... Hmm?"

Doctor: "Miss are you awake?"

Lia: "Y- yeah..."

Doctor: "Great. Your injuries weren't too bad. So in half an hour you can go home. Okay miss?"

Lia: "Yes... Thank you..."

Doctor: "Also can you tell us who did this to you, when they did it, where they did it, and why?"

Lia: "I don't know why they did it. But I can tell you the names and when they did this to me. There were three people. Conner, Ann, and Bailey. Where they did it was school. And when they did it was lunchtime."

Doctor"Do you know when you were found?"

Lia: "No... But it was dark out. (GASP) OH! What time is it?! I'm going to be in so much trouble if I'm late home!"

Doctor: "It's a quarter until twelve o'clock."

Lia: "Oh no! I need to go NOW!"

Doctor: "Well... I do suppose... we could let you leave a little early... So... I'll have the nurse get you your stuff. Okay?"

Lia: "Okay. And thank you very much."

Doctor: "No problem. Well the nurse will be right with you. Bye."

Lia: "Thank you. Bye."

Once the doctor left I tried my hardest not to cry.

........................................................

Lia: "Well..."

I said this while standing in front of my house.

Lia: "I guess I'm ready for the worst..."

As soon as I opened the door he was drunk in the kitchen.

Lia's thoughts: Oh boy... This really will be the worst...

Stepfather: "Hey!"

He said with sluggishness. Then he picked up a book and threw it at me. It missed me. So I ran passed him to the door leading to the stairs. Once in I shut the door and locked it.

THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD.

I ran as fast and hard as I could up the stairs. Then into the attic. After that I opened the window and I climbed out of the attic onto the roof.

Then I looked around my house to make sure no one was out. I walked to the very edge. And then I yelled this as loud as I could.

Lia: "I HATE YOU LIFE! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO ME?!"

?: "Hm? Did I hear someone yelling just now? Sounds like it came fro----... SH*T! Is that girl going to jump?! I have to go do something!"

THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD.

?: "HEY! STOP! DON'T JUMP! PLEASE!"

Lia: "Oh no! I need to jump now. Before he gets over here."

SWOOSH!

I jumped... Lia's thoughts: Finally I can end my suffering...

?: "This isn't good! Now I have to show what I am!"

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH.

Lia's thoughts: WHAT! HE'S JUMPING UP MY HOUSE SIDE! WHAT IS HE?! HES HEADED FOR ME!

As I was falling he jumped and caught me in mid air. Then he used the house wall to push off. Then he landed gently and very gracefully on a big tree branch.
