 What if I jump off this building? Wait, it's 2 stories. No, I'd die what I- Lila thought just before a bird interrupted her.

SQWACK !

How long have I been zoning out for?

Lila kept her knees-up and kept her arms on her head and ruffled her hair. Her eyes were hooked on the floor. She started rocking her body.

What should I do? That thing could kill me if I tick him off.

Her rocking became more violent.

WHAT DO I DO? 

She resembled a mad person in a hospital.

WHAT DO I DO ?!

She started pounding her arms against the floor.

Why? Why ? 

"WHY"?

"A-are you okay" ? The red haired girl asked.

Lila's eyebrows went up, her stream of tears stopped, her voice crackled  she was still. All was silent ... 10 seconds later.

"Y-yea I am."

She forced a smile, then stood up  wiped the blood dripping from her arm and turned to the red haired girl.

"H-how do I get out of here ?" The red haired asked.

"DO YOU THINK IF I KNEW I'D BE HERE ??!!!"

The red haired girl flinched and bowed her head. Her throat swelled.

"I-IM sorry" she said.

"No, no, I'm sorry I overreacted I'm sorry for snapping at you."

She stood up and frantically moved her arms making gestures.

Why did I do that? She's just a child, she's not a player  like me ? Just because I'm surrounded by a toxic environment doesn't mean I should be toxic ?

"WHA" she cried.

 " I'm sorry" Lila said.

Stop I'm acting like him.

"No, the blames on me. Please don't be mad, I'll give you my food."

"I-I don't want your FOOD i want to go home!"

"Please don't be mad sh, sh, come here."

She slowly walked over to the red haired girl and hugged her.

"Is there any way to escape?"

 Lila and the red haired girl started crying, they just stayed in that position and cried. Lila's eyes and red haired girls' eyes had puffed up  then they finally spoke.

"Sigh. What's your name ?"

"I'm Rose Smith."

"Wow? What a coincidence."

"Your also named Rose ?"

"No, but my last name is"

"Oh"

Rose lets go of Lila and they both sat staring at each other.

"That boy, who is he ?"

" Hes Eric."

Her voice spat out his name with utter disgust. 

"So we have to keep him happy?

"Yeah, or else we will end up like them."

"Them?" Rose asked.

"Look around you."

Lila looked up and then closed her eyes. Rose's eyes winded, her jaw dropped, her eyebrows went up. It felt like the world was spinning around her. She started shivering then took Lila's arm.
