Thanks Reicu, Leness and AznAngel for reviewing (my only reviewers). Nothing but Ria belongs to me. The song is called Bother, which belongs to Stone Sour.

Wish I was too dead to cry

My self-affliction fades

Stones to throw at my creator

Masochists to which I cater

[Chorus] You don't need to bother

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on

I won't let go 'till it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care

If indeed I cared at all

Never had a voice to protest

So you fed me shit to digest

I wish I had a reason

My flaws are open season

For this I gave up trying

One good turn deserves my dying

[Chorus]

Wish I'd died instead of lived

A zombie hides my face

Shell forgotten with its memories

Diarys left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother

I don't need to be

I'll keep slipping farther

But once I hold on...I'll never live down my deceit.

Ria sat on the sheet on the ground that was her so called bed. There was blood on her arm. She had a blade in her hand. She put the blade into her arm. More blood poured out. She wanted to die. She wanted to escape from the world. She wanted to be free from the horror she lived. She had tried to commit suicide. But she always survived, no matter what she did. Other times her parents tried to kill her for her but she always survived. She didn't know why. She put her hand over eye and she felt the scar, which her father gave her.

She walked in the door. Her parents were fighting. Again. Her father pulled the knife from the kitchen draw.

'He's going to kill her, about time,' Ria thought.

Her dad went to throw the knife at the woman when the woman got free and ran out the door.

"Come back here!!" he yelled after her.

She didn't come back. He threw the knife at Ria in anger. She pulled her head back. The knife just scraped past her eye, just leaving a scar and a lot of blood. Her father ran out the door after her mother.

Ria got up and looked out her window. She heard yelling downstairs. Her parents were fighting again.

'How unusual,' she thought to herself sarcastically.

She decided to go for a walk but not wanting to get caught up in her parents fight, she jumped out of the window and started to make her way down the alleyway. She walked for a while until it got lighter. She realized that she was getting near the end of the alleyway. She stopped at the end of it and there was a long busy street with markets and hotels. She'd never been down here before. She never wanted to see the happy people getting along with their happy lives while she was stuck in a nightmare. She saw 5 kids walking down the street. Leading the group was a kid with long, dark blue hair wearing a baseball cap with a kid who had a laptop under his arm and glasses on top of his head.

Behind them were two other people. One with yellow hair and overalls, the other with black hair and a traditional Chinese outfit.

Behind them, trailing along a few metres away was a boy with blue hair, blue triangles on his face and he was wearing a scarf. He had his hands in his pockets and didn't seem to want to be with the others.

She focussed back to the one on front with the blue hair. He was jumping around like he had too much sugar. He looked so happy. They were mucking around, having lots of fun. A tear rolled down her cheek. She hated happy people. They had so much fun, and were full of life. But not Ria. She never had fun and hated life, so how could she be full of it. She turned around and there were 2 men in black suits and grabbed her. The kid with blue hair and blue triangles looked up and saw the men trying to knock her out.

'God I hate this,' I think.

I'm walking down the street with the others. They are so annoying. God. I look around and see a girl at the end of an alleyway. She has a scar over her eye. She looks familiar in a way. I see her turn around to leave when two men grab her. I want to help her. Takao has seen.

"Hey, we better help her," he says.

We all run of to help her. But then a couple more men show up and start whacking the others in the head and they are instantly knocked out. Now they're coming for me. One of them has a poll but, wheres the other one? He grabs me from behind and the other one hits my head really hard and I can't stay conscious for much longer. I close my eyes.



That was long. And crappy. Oh well. More coming soon.
