The Healing Process.

Neither Sean nor I were okay. He and Ellie had broken up because she only kept him around to get noticed and for fame. And me, well I pretty much just kept to my self. See everyone has their ways of dealing with tragedy. My best friends and I represent them.

Some people run away (Sean)

Some people just deal with it and go on with life (Spinner)

Some people try and make the best of things (Craig)

Some people shut everyone out from the world (me).

I used to be like Craig. Make sure everyone is alright put a smile on my face and say it will all be fine, and people actually believed me. Too bas that girl wasn't there anymore. I could really use her now. I'm afraid to sleep now, in fear of seeing the scene of the horrible day. When I close my eyes I see Sean and Rock on the ground. Still unsure of Sean's safety, I sometimes have the urge to call him and make sure he is okay. Today at school it was different. It was Monday. News reporters lined up around the school. Trying to get even the smallest glimpse of people involved in the accident. Asking questions, taking pictures, anything. The old Emma would have told them off and said something that would make them want to run like the little babies they are, but now I just walk away. My lips sealed. In the halls people surrounded me, bombarding me with questions. Were you scared? What did Rick say? Are you alright? Why did Sean save you? The last question got me thinking, why did he save me? Note to self must find Sean and ask him, but first I have to get away from everyone else. In every class that I had people would stare and whisper. I couldn't take it much longer. I ran into the bathroom and cried my eyes out. After about 20 minutes of crying I went into the M.I. lab and found Snake talking to Sean. "Dad I need to leave, I can't take everyone looking at me, whispering about me and making comments. I-I just need to go out for a while', I said to him just spitting out the words. "Sure sweetheart, Sean can you go with her, I think spinner and Craig are waiting for you two out front", he replied softly, understanding why we have to go. We walked to our lockers grabbed what we needed and ran out the front doors of the school. We met up with Spin and Craig near Spin's car. "Where do you want to go" said Spin. "Let me drive" Sean said and the four of us took off 3 of us not knowing where we're going but just enjoying each other's company no sadness, no pressure, just a nice ride with friends.
