Chapter Two: Drown
The pain.
My God, the burning.
The burning was all over my body, and I could do nothing but lie there, waiting for it to come to an end, not making a sound, trying to hold myself together.
Good morning day
Sorry I'm not there
But all my favorite friends
Vanished… in the air
It's hard to fly when you can't even run
Once I had the world, but now I've got no one…
My thoughts did not stray much, as what was going on inside of me captured me in a way no one else could.
I reminded myself of the reason I was doing this.
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to hold me down
I would change my direction
and save myself before I…
There was a fire inside of my body. It was simply there, and it was warm, but not hot, exactly. As time wore on, the fire began to recede towards my heart.
If I needed someone to control me
If I needed someone to push me around
I would change my direction
and save myself before I… drown…
"Rose."
I heard Luke's voice, but I stayed motionless. I couldn't let him think I was receptive… at least, not yet… (focus).
Good morning day
Sorry you're not here
But all those things before
Were never this unclear
It's hard to walk when you can't even crawl
Once I had this world, but no I've lost it all…
I thought about my friends that I had saved by doing this… and my family… I was doing this for them…
One by one, their faces flashed through my head…
Mom…
Dad…
All of my friends…
My classmates…
Drown…
Rolling faster than I'm breathing…

A/N: I had a lot of fun writing this chapter… and it's starting to take more shape… the story, I mean. I think that I'll add more information about Rose and her past and her friends and family and such as I go- I'm even learning more about her as I write! Reviews are love!
Thanks,
Lauryn.
