Okay, part two of my adventure!
Not like anyone really reads this anyway…
But this chapter I can say, is especially dedicated to Lauren and Mark… you know why you are!
LittleMidgett; Why thankyou! So glad your enjoying it!
Karone-sakura; Yes! ALL HAIL ME! WOO YEAH!
Tiamath; Well all right, since you asked so nicely… and I think I always have trouble writing Robert… he's my most complex character I think!
Oh, and a warning for this chapter. It's… a bit dark…. Really dark actually…

The next morning I walked to school, my jaw throbbing and my arms aching from the beating HE had given me the night before. I think I even had a fat lip… but I didn't really have time to notice. I'd been more focused on trying to fend him off.
I left the house with a black skivvy under my usual blue school shirt, which covered up the bruises on my arms. I couldn't do anything about my face… people always thought I got into fights out of school anyways…
Sure enough, when I got through the school gates… stares. I ignored them, keeping my head held high and going to my locker. I did what I usually did, exchanging my books and all that, then slamming it shut and going back outside, resting back against an old willow tree, closing my eyes and trying to clear my mind before class started.
"It happened again, didn't it?" I jumped, slamming my head back against the tree by accident and seeing Amanda there, a sad smile on her face.
"Jeez Amanda! Scare a guy why don't you" I grumbled, rubbing the back of my head. She was still giving me that smile…
"Robert, you can stop it you know"
I just glared at her "Amanda, drop it"
"Rob-"
I got up, slinging my bag over my shoulder and walked off. Out of everyone, Amanda was the only one who knew about my HIM and my life at home. I'd told her in a moment of weakness… I moment that I now regret because every time she sees the bruises… she keeps saying the same thing.
But… no one knew about Anna. No one would ever know… she was going to be kept locked up in my heart forever.
Thankfully, the bell rang a few minutes later and I was able to go to roll call. I knew people were staring at my face… my eye was slightly closed from the bruise right next to it… especially the teacher, but I ignored all of them. What the fuck did they know about my life?
Nothing, that's what.

The day was going like any other. I'd sit alone, do my work… glare at anyone who got too close…
And then a slip of paper landed on my desk. I read it… and groaned.
I was summoned to the counsellors office. Great.
I gathered my things, shot a glare at anyone who looked at me, then reluctantly went to Mrs Turnbulls office.
Knowing I wasn't going to get out of this without some kind of miracle, I reluctantly knocked on her door.
"Come in" I heard her call, then opened the door to see her smiling at me.
"Why hello Robert. Come and sit down"
Again, reluctantly I shut the door behind me and sat down. Seconds later the vice principal came in, his glare making all my muscles freeze.
Oh this couldn't be good.
"Robert"
"Sir"
"It seems we have a problem"
"Yes sir?"
He came and sat on the desk, glaring me down.
"This" he touched my face, and I winced, drawing back from him.
"What about it?"
"Where did this come from, Kessely?"
"None of your damn business" I muttered, and I knew I was probably in for it now.
"Robert" Mrs Turnbull said, making me look at her "We want to help you. Who did this to you? Who did you fight with?"
"No one" I muttered, looking down and feeling trapped. I hated feeling trapped…
"I don't believe you"
"You don't have to" I grunted, shifting around in my chair.
"Robert, what's going on? You know you can talk to us"
"Nothings going on all right!" I snapped, standing up and glaring at the two of them.
"Mr Kessely, please sit down"
"No I will not sit down! I'm not gonna do anything of the sort! You can just go fuck yourself as far as I'm concerned" I snapped, grabbing my bag, then throwing the door open stalking out into the hallway. I was so mad… why couldn't they just fuckin leave it alone?
Eventually I came to a decision, walking out of the school gates and just wanting to get the hell out of there.
I couldn't take this anymore… I just… I'd had it…

I leaned back against my favourite willow tree, looking down at the small stream which was barely trickling anymore… damn droughts…
I closed my eyes, just remembering that dream. Anna… god how I missed her…
I thought she was the only one who really cared for me. Well… I guess I was wrong…
I still remember the day I'd come home, knowing something was wrong. I remembered running through the house… calling her name…
And then, throwing the bathroom door open…and the blood…
She had cut her wrists, committed suicide…
Anna. My older sister by not even a year and a half. We had gone through the horrors together… been there for one another together…
Until… until I'd run into the bathroom, slipping and seeing…
I was only eleven. And she was almost thirteen.
The reason why she'd done it died with her. No note… no nothing…
She'd left me alone.
And then… that dream…
It had felt so real… the breeze, the ground under my feet…
I curled myself into a ball, fighting my emotions, knowing I'd never see my beloved sister again…
I was alone. And I would always be alone.
