Epilogue

Alexandria's POV

I watched from the ground as the three boys hovering over me threw their heads back in laughter. Justin, Chaz, and Ryan decided they wanted to teach me how to skateboard, and it wasn't going so well. You would think after about a hundred falls the boys would stop laughing, but it just seemed to get funnier every time. Sure, it was funny to me at first, but now I was annoyed. My knees were skinned up, my butt was bruised, and I was hot and hungry; the last thing I needed was the boys laughing at my pain. I pulled myself off the ground and threw Ryan's skateboard I was using at him.

"Woah, what's wrong?" he asked. The boys' faces turned serious as they watched me walk away without saying a word. I would go get something to eat, cool off, and then come back, I decided. But my plans were ruined when I felt someone grab me, their sweaty hand covering my mouth before I had the opportunity to scream.

That was the last time the boys saw me. The last day I saw my loved ones.
