The Swinging Girl

by Wisdom Of The Water

16 year old Clary Morganstern is abused. Her father started it then her brother started to help him. Everyday she goes to the swings and swings with her only friend Jace Wayland. Will her father and brother go to far or will she find her saving angel. I would say its not as crappy as it sounds but it probably is so just please give it a chance. Rated for mentions of abuse.

Disclaimer: If you've heard of it before more than likely I don't own it.

Also, guess what... I kidnapped Jace and am holding him hostage. Ok jk not really that would be awesome though.

The Swinging Girl

A 16 year old girl is swinging steady, not speeding up not slowing down. Back... Forth... Back... A slightly older boy gets on the swing next to her and starts swinging in synch. Never speaking. Day after day. And everyday the slightly older boy joined her. The older boy knew of the tears the false smiles hid. He knew of the bruises, cuts, scrapes, and scars the baggy clothes hid. But he didn't tell. He couldn't bear to be on the list of people who had betrayed the young girl in her short life.

Day after Day

Then one day the younger girl didn't show up at the swings. The older boy heard the story from his other friends mother who worked at the school. The story was that the young girl had been in a freak accident and broken her neck. She was alive but barely. The boy knew the truth though. It hadn't been an accident. The young girls older brother had done it. The boy begged his parents to take him to see the girl.

Many Monthes Later when the girl was releasesd from the hospital she told the police. The young girl told of her brother and father abusing. She told of the scars and bruised and cuts. The young girl was adopted by the older boys friends mother. And yet she still swung on until one day she went higher and faster. Then she jumped, walked away, and never looked back.

The swinging girl swung no longer. The broken soul was broken no longer.
