“So are you ever going to tell me your name?” Mystery boy asked me.
“Are you ever going to tell me yours?” I asked, taking another smoke than blowing it back out.
“It’s Boyd…” He answered.

"Meet me at my room, same time as last night," than Sara walked off without another word.

The door opened to reveal a man; he looked like he was at least in his 30s maybe even 40s.
As she sat down I realised her pupils were huge and I turned to Adam.
“Did you drug her?” I demanded getting off the couch.
“Get the fuck out of here!” I screeched, “Neither I nor Sara is going to be having sex with you… ever.”
“I wouldn’t speak so fast Sweetheart,” Adam said, taking a step towards me.
“Sara owes us, and we will collect.” He said glaring at me.
Teo, watch out! Stan yelled.

“Sara, are you in here?” A familiar voice called out.Right when I thought that they were going to walk away the door flew open after impacted with a foot.
In the doorway stood Boyd and Jaskin and the second they took in what was in front of them anger took over both of their faces.
Chapter Seven~
Cause we got the fire, and we're burning
When I was younger, after I started hearing voices in my head, people would always torment me. They thought I was strange and crazy and maybe they were actually right.
The abuse I went through was harsh, something a 10 year old, or even any child should never go through.
Rumours were spread about me, words were sent my way, things were thrown at me, and it felt like I had died and went to hell … but I always had Stan. Unlike most people who go through bullying I had a silver lining. I always had someone with me. Honestly if I didn’t have him, I might have ended up killing myself… but then again if I didn’t have Stan I don’t think it would have ever happened in the first place.
Sometimes after getting bullied, I would blame Stan, after all he was the one who did this to me, and he was the one who made me crazy, made me talk to voices that weren’t there. Made me not trust my parents and peers. When I had these thoughts he would leave me alone for a few days, and I would experience life without him and I would realise that I couldn’t live without him.
Eventually I began to start realising, he didn’t make me not trust my parents… they did. When they treated me with no trust, when they weren’t there for me… didn’t help me when I needed it.
He didn’t make me not trust my peers… they did. When they ridiculed me, teased me and made me feel worthless.
In reality, Stan was the only person I had to turn to, everyone else would let me down in the end.
