"You have to admit that was funny Rebecca."
"..."
"Rebecca. Are you even listening to me?"
"..."
"REBECCA?!"
"Huh? Oh sorry Angie just trying to find something..."
"Still trying to find out who your dad is?" Angie asks sympathetically.
"Yeah, but just like mum wants I can't find ANYTHING out about him. Not where he lives. Not who he lives with. Not even his name." I replies dishearteningly.
"C'mon you can't think like that Bexy. Maybe you will find out who he is when the time is right."
"I hope your right Angie. Anyway what were you talking about."
"I was saying that what Georgie and Sam were doing was funny. Don't you think Bexy?" Angie replies back lightly chuckling.
"Umm what were they doing again?... wait are you talking about when they both decided to prank each other at the same time by trying to wet each other with water? Cause if you are that wasn't funny... That was hilarious!" I replied while laughing. 
"Uhh what else would I be talking about?!" Angie replies laughing just as much as me.
"Hmm maybe how you like our little friend Sammy boy..." I say while walking faster so Angie has to run to catch up to me.
"REBECCA WILSON!!" Angie yells while running to catch up to me.
I'm to busy laughing and running to pay attention to where I'm going and crash straight into the aforementioned boy, Samuel Wright.

Sam (or Sammy boy as I call him,) has been my friend since kindergarten and we are basically like brother and sister. After he found out about what my mum is like and what her job is he has helped me the most by letting me stay at his place when I need to. He is the greatest friend you could ever have and I guess you could say he is a little popular but only because he plays football with a lot of the other boys. Though Sam is the nicest one out of all of them. Sam is also the one who gets into fights if someone offends one of us.

"REBECCA!! I'm gonna get you back for that!" Angie continued yelling not realising that Sam was right there.

Angel Downes has been my bestest friend since year 1 and let's just say she hasn't changed... Much. No one calls her Angel except her parents. She is popular but only because she is always standing up against teachers especially when the teachers pick on people who don't know the answer to the question and so on. Angie can make friends with absolutely anyone, though if you piss her off you don't stand a chance against her. She is the scariest one of our little group (other then me apparently).

"So, what did you do this time Becs?" Georgie asks me while walking up to me and Sam with her boyfriend Dylan.

Georgina Carter (or Georgie for short) has been my friend since year 6. I would've have met her earlier if her parents weren't so paranoid. Out of all us she has the strictest parents. She can't even come to school without texting her parents every 5 minutes where she is and I wish I was joking. Georgie is the one of our group that is the most protective of us. She acts like a mother to us if we are acting the wrong way.

Dylan Renoir has been my friend since year 5. When I first met him he had anger issues and not afraid to throw the first punch if he has to. Out of our group he acts like the father when necessary and is the only one who can make Georgie happy when she is upset.

Dylan and Georgie have been dating since year 8. So they are only just coming up to 1 year of being together but we all know their relationship is going to last a long time yet.

"Who says I did anything Georgie?" I say while watching Angie run up to me panting.
"You can't say something like that and run off. Just cause I like Sa... Saying that I like someone does not mean you can tease me!" Angie corrects herself then flicks my forehead.
"I'm hurt! I'm just being a friend!" I say in a mock yell.
"Anyway, what do you guys have today up first? Cause I have humanities and science. Ugh." Angie asks us.
"Well Georgie and Dylan have economics and then English. Sam has music then science. And I have humanities then art." I reply just as the bell goes off.
"Ok come on Rebecca let's go. Cya second period Sam and the rest of you at recess." Angie says to everyone before dragging me off to our first period of the day.

(A/N: I'm not going to put what happens during school hours unless you want me to.)

"FREEDOM!" I think you can hear my yell on the other sound of the school.
"I know it is the end of the day but please refrain from yelling until your outside of the classroom, Ms Wilson." My Calculus teacher asks of me.
"Ok will do sir... FREEDOM!" I yell as soon as I'm out of the classroom and run into Georgie and Angie.
People sometimes think that we had telepathy or something because we just share a look and seem know what the other two are thinking.

"FREEDOM!!" The three of us yell then run outside while Sam and Dylan just share a look and shake their heads walking out of school like everyone else.

When the 5 of us have met up at the huge I don't know what type of tree we get ready to split up for the night until tomorrow.

"Are you coming around to one of ours for the night Becs?" Georgie asks me.
"Well today is Monday... So no. Mums always sober and alone Monday nights. So I'll be heading home tonight." I reply.
"Ok well don't be afraid to come around to one of ours if you need to." Sam says and gives me a look that he always gives me when I head home. It translates to "Come around to mine. My parents won't mind. They never have."
"I know. Thanks guys. See you tomorrow." I say as I
pull out my phone and play my music.
"You say you love me, I say you crazy
We're nothing more than friends
You're not my lover, more like a brother
I known you since we were like ten, yeah." I sing as the song comes on while walking off to my friends laughing in the background.

When I arrive back at home I notice that the door is open.
"What the?"
I walk inside to see basically everything in the house smashed. The windows, the dishes and even the furniture. I thought nothing of it.
"Mum must've just had just lost her temper again." Is all I say as I walk into my mums bedroom. That was when I realised something was seriously wrong.
There was a smudged red handprint on the wall, there was a red stain on the carpet underneath the place of the handprint and then there was a body. Lying limp next to the red stain. I knew who it was straight away.
"MUM!"
I race over to her and check for a pulse finding none I pull out my phone and call for an ambulance not knowing if she will make it or not.

A/N: ok so I know I haven't updated but I have had some stuff going on at home at the moment but I will try to update as much as possible. But I hope you enjoy this chapter.
