I was in my room that day when I got the news about my brother. “I have some news for you Amy. It might not be good news but I thought you should now at least.” That was the first thing I remembered my mother saying when she came into my room. When she told me that I didn’t take her seriously but I wish I did. My mother told me the news of my brother and I was in shock. I shoved my mother to the ground and then I ran outside. I tried to find you Rem but you were out of town. To clear my mind, I went to the forest and then I walked around. Soon I saw your boyfriend and step-father making a deal or something like that. They spotted me and I started running. I ran as fast as I could and then I spotted houses. I yelled for help but everyone just closed their doors and windows. They closed their doors and just ignored me. I got to my house and I told my mother what happened. She hid me in the basement and told your boyfriend that I wasn’t there. I was so scared that you wouldn’t believe it. I know I act tough but I’m really not. After 2 days in hiding school started again and I had to go to school like I couldn’t hide forever. When I got to school I tried my best not to be alone but then your boyfriend lied to you and told you that I made a move on him. I tried to tell you what happened but every time I would he would come out nowhere and interrupt me. One day I was alone at school and your boyfriend confronted me. I tried my best to run from him but he would always get to me. We were in the forest alone and then he took out a knife he had in his jacket.
