Chlorine Grown Roses Chapter 36

It was the day avert, I went to the hostile for Masahiko. I wakeup in bed, nod saw Akira was gnome. I was worried, at first, till I looked at my foe. I got a call from Kou that I did pick up eelier, so I called her back. "Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Azusa! 3" Kou said. I cold her laughing, behind her. "It's by time you getup sleepyhead! Were all at the park!"

"What? Without me?" I quested. "Hoops there?"

"Theirs me, Akira, Ester, Conchiat, Luna, Hitomi, Yami, Shatter, Kim, and Kisume. We war gonna wait for you to wake up, but Akira said you needed the sleep, since what happen yesterday." Said Ko.

"Ill be rite there! Wait up!" I phone the hung up, and I toke off my led zeppelin t shirt that I was wearing as a nightgown, to put on a white dress, with black tulle on the edges, spaghetti straps, a corset front, and music designs, with bloody roses on it, and a black choker. I also put on black pantyhose, black, heh heeled boots, red lipstick, and had my back of my hair in a bun, while the rest was down. I went down to the kitchen, were Ms. Tachibana was cookin.

"Oh, good morning, Azusa! You slept, nearly all day. Its 11:00 AM." She said. She tossed me a toast, and I left the house, with it in my mouth, as I ran to the park. It was closely, so I didn take to long.

Ones I got there, I saw all my friends. Kou ran up to me, smile. Kismet was with her, too. "Hey, Azusa! I like you're outfit!"

I looked at hers, which was a cosplay of Katana from Suicide Squad out the mask. "I like yours, better…" I said, smiling, shy. I looked round. Luna and Chita were on slide, Esther was sitting in a tree, ridding a book, while Kimmy looked around with a journal and wrote stuff, Hitomi was on a swing, bein pushed by her magic, and I did see Akira, till she barreled over me, nod almost knocked me over. She was wearing a black mcr cardigan, with a red plaid shirt underneath, a spiky headband, dark gray skinny pants, and black converse.

She gave me a pat on the shoulder. "Hey, kid! Nice to see you, up and about!" she said. "That guy Yami and me are playin tag, wanna join?"

I frowned, felling uncofratible w being touched, ever since the Chiasa incident….. "No thank you." I said politely. "I don't want to mess up, my dress. Plus, ill probably lose, anyway….you and Yami can run better than me."

Akira seemed disappoint but nodded. "Okay! Tell me if u changes you're mind! ^o^" Then Akira ran away, and I saw Yami paper from behind the bathroom, and catch her with a laugh. He had on a black 21 pilots foodie, and green skinny jeans, and he had took he shoes of.

I looked at my other friends. Luna had a black shirt, with a white rose, in a cage, olive green kapris, and black flats on, and Chonchita had a sleeveless black sweater, with a pleated green plaid skirt, knee heh black socks with two white stripes, and heeled boot shoes, Esther was wearing a black nirvana tank top, yellow skinny jeans, and black vans, Kimmy was wearing a black leather jacket, over a white dress shirt, with a purple ribbon, a pleated black skirt, knee high black socks, black loafers, and two purple ribbons in her hair, and Hitomi was wearing a cute black dress, with puffy sleeves, white lace, and buttons, white socks, black Mary jams, and black and white bows in her hare, which was pigtails.

But someone was missing, I noticed. I looked around, and I saw Shatter, sitting alone on a blanche, looking sad. I went over to him. He was wearing a black sailor moon shirt, and black skinny jeans. "Hey, Shatter." I said. "Watts up?"

"Oh, nothing." He said in a depressed way. "I just don't like the park….I only came because everyone else wanted to. I wish I spayed home…"

"Why don't you like the park?" I asked. "I that everyone, likes the park….?"

He sighed, and then he talked.

-NINE YEARS AGO, WEN SHATTER WAS 8—

Ones upon a time, Shatter had a best friend, nod her name was Sophie Church. She was his neighbor, and was his age, they hung out all the time. They war best friends, ever since they war really little, and they're parents got on great. Wherever Shatter went, Sophie would go to. Secretly, Shatter liked Sofie as more than a friend, and maybe she did, to, but he never got to tell her that…

One day, they went to the park, that was down the street from Shatter's house. Shatter wore a black and white strapped pollo, and black pants. Sophie had long, curly, late blonde hair, which she had in a ponytail, and wore a sleeveless, frily white dress, with a blue ribon on it, and brun sandals. They walked to the park together to play games. Sophie looked at Shatter, with blue eyes, and Shatter blushed, and looked away. "So, Shatter, do you have the ball?" she asked, and was beutiful.

Shatter blushed, and brought out the red kush ball, that she gave him, for his birthday (which was a week ago at that time btw). "Yes." He said. Sophie smiled, and Shatter felt love again.

They got to the park, and nobody was around, except for a girl a bit older than them, reading a newspaper, a woman walking a Irish setter, and a guy jogging. They started tossing the ball, and playing catch with each other. "Go long!" Shatter called. He threw the ball long, and it went far away. Sofie went to go get it, but Shatter noticed something, at the last second, that made his hart droop. "SOHPIE, WAIT!"

The kush ball was in the middle of the road, by the park, and Sophie was run to get it. It all happened to fast…..a car came by, really fast, and hit Sophie. Shatter ran over, crying, got out his phone, and called 999 (England's 911). They said 15 minutes, but Shatter new that they wouldn't come in time…..he held Sophie in his arms, and cried, as she bled out, and died. By the time 999 got there…she was already gone. Shatter never got the stains of his clothes, and out of his heart…

-PRESENT TIMES—

I heard Shatter's story, and I started crying, just like he. We cried together, for a while. "I loved Yami so much, because he reminded me so much of Sophie….." he said, sobbing. "I felt safe, and happy, went we were together. Without him, I always felt like I was alone…I always worried that he would get hurt, and I wouldn't be able to save him, like I couldn't Sophie…"

"I'm sorry….." I said. "But…..I'm sure Sophie loved you to. Ned she's in a better place…"

Shatter cried more, and hugged me. "Ive been depressed, ever since, and ive been in and out of mental hospitals. I tried kiling my self when I was 13, and I tried it again a few months ago…"

After that, we all went home, but Akira went to hang out with Yami, Ruruka, Shatter, Esther, and Conceit at Yami's house, since they rely got long at the park. The hose was empty, and I was in the living room, watching the TV and drinking some ramune. Jus then, braking news interrupted my program.

"This is breaking news! The head of the local yakuza, Makasiko Kurus, has gone missing! Avert he was positive identified, as bein involved with the ally incident of a fee days ago, he has ban nowhere to see.

I gaped.
