Wounded Not Defeated

2: Fran

I shiver as I walk down the street, I can see my breath. I walk to the nearest café and sit.
"Can I help you?" a waitress asked,
"No, no thank you." I said, she gave me a confused look, shrugged her shoulders and walked away, I let out a sigh, hopefully none of my "friends" are here.
After having about five different waitress's come to me at different times if they could help me, I decided to leave. I walked home and opened the door. My mother came up to me and hugged me.
"You okay? You left here kind of spooked. Are they bothering you?"
"No, mom, I'm fine and so are they."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok."
I kicked off my shoes and walked upstairs. I plopped down on my bed, when Leon appeared in the corner of my room.
"What do you want?" I whined,
"Nothing." he said plainly,
"Then why are you here?"
"Wow, what's wrong with you? PMSing much?"
"Shut up! You guys are just annoying why can you leave me alone!"
"Sweetie," my mom knocked on my door, opening it as Leon vanished,
"Yes mom?"
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Perfectly."
"Okay, just don't get to worked up. I'm going to call your therapist because you haven't been there in a while. And it seems like you need it." then she walks out pulling my door shut. I turn on my music on my docking system and texted Arianna to come over. She didn't answer, so I sat alone in my room listening to "Don't go" by Bring Me the Horizon.

"Bitch!"
"Whore!"
"Slut!"
"Slut-whore! Ha! See what I did there?" I said elbowing her,
"Yea yea, whatever it's only because you were too lazy to think of a new insult." Arianna and I both laughed because we know its true, Arianna moved just right and I saw a bruise on her arm. I'm sure it's nothing.
"You never texted me back last night, you little hoe." I said joking, taking a bite out of my pizza.
"Sorry, I'm grounded again."
"For what?" Unbelievable,
"Stay up on my phone until one in the morning on a school night.."She said,
"Good job bruh." I said pushing her, but for some reason she jumped at my touch like I was going to hurt her.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She says taking a sip of her chocolate milk. Boy does she lie through her teeth.
"Hellllloooo my girly!" Blaze greeted us sliding into his chair.
"Hello dork bag." I say smiling.
"So what's up?" He asked, man he's gorgeous. I mentally smacked myself for thinking that. He's my best friend and he's gay.
"You're looking at it," Arianna said in a bored tone.
"You guys should start watching Soul Eater, it's amazing!"
"What the hell is Soul Eater?" Arianna asked looking interested,
"Um well, there's Maka, Soul, Soul is Maka's weapon, which is a scythe, Death the Kid and Liz and Patty, Liz and Patty are his weapons, they're pistols, Kid's dad is the principal of the academy. The Black Star-"
"Instead of telling us this why don't we come over and watch it?" I asked,
"Um, do you have Netflix?" Blaze asked me,
"Yea, let's watch it at my house then!" I said smiling,
"Wait. Wait. Wait. Please tell me it has English dub.?" Arianna prayed,
"Yep, it's in English."
"Okay, I'll sneak out then."
"Why can you ask your parents?"
"Oh, uh, um, I'm grounded, remember?"
"Oh yea,"
"So tonight at 7pm, okay? I'll be over." Blaze informed me, I nodded and turned to Arianna,
"Yep! I'll be there!" She smiled hugely,

The bell rang and lunch was over,

"Okay! That's a date then, see you all then. Bye!" I say leaving the lunchroom.

I turned on my tv, wii and bring in three huge bowls full of popcorn.
"Whatcha doin?" Leon asked me,
"Setting stuff up."
"For?"
"I guess we are watching some anime show that Blaze is overly obsessed with."
"Ohh, can I watch it with you guys?"
"Sure, we can share the popcorn."
"Sweet." He smiled, I look over at the clock, 6:30, I may have been a little eager.
"What time are they coming?"
"Seven."
"Oh,"
"I'm slightly excited.." I trailed off,
"It's okay." He said,
I sat down on the couch, and click on the Fosters. Leon gave me a face,
"What?" I asked,
"The Fosters?" He asked,
"Yes."
"Okay," He plopped down on the couch next to me.

My door bell rang,

I jump up from the couch, waking up Leon, whom was sleeping on me. I open the door to a tear stained Arianna.
"Are you okay?"
"Yea, I just fell out of the tree and hit my head." There was a blood by her temple and her hair was matted to it. "Good job."
"So what are you watching?" She said as she limped in.
"The Fosters,"
"Ooh, what episode?"

The door bell rang again,

"That's Blaze!"

"Honey, wake up its time for school!"
"Okay," I called.
"Why don't you just skip school and hang out with me?" She asks innocently,
"Why would I want to spend more time with you?"
"Because I'm Isabelle, and I'm the cutest little girl that ever existed, come play with me!" The little girl skipped down the dark hallway singing, and I followed. She was right, she is the most cutest little girl,
"You're not going to catch me," she taunted,
"Oh yes I will, and when I do, I'll tickle you until you can't breath!" I said giggling with her, but as I said that the giggles went away and replaced with a frown and a sad look in her eyes,
"But, I'm not breathing, I'm dead." She blankly stares at me and starts falling backwards. I reach out to grab her but my hand went right through her.
"You can still chase me if you want, sis." she said with a small sad smile,
"Ok, sure." I said wiping my tears also.
"Fran,"
"Yes, Isabelle?"
"Fran!"
"What?" I turned around to see her hanging off a cliff and reaching out for my hand, I reach her hand, but I can't hold it and save her.
"It's no use! I'm already dead, stop reliving my death and move on! Try to let go and move on!" She says crying,
"I won't let go! I won't move on, I'll never say goodbye! I won't say it!"
"I love you, sis!"
"I love you too, Isabelle! Don't leave me!"
"Fran!"
"Isabelle!"
"Fran! Fran, honey wake up! Fran! Fran!" I wake up screaming and thrashing,
"Mom?" I pop out of my dream,
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
"Yeah sis, why are you crying?"
"Because of you!" I yelled pointing to nothing in my mom's eyes, but really pointing to Isabelle.
"If you hadn't died, I would be crying. Don't you ever again, tell me to let go! You can't leave me! I can't do this. If you really want me to let go stop visiting me!"
"Consider it done." She said and she disappeared,
'Oh no, what have I just done,'
"Honey, who are you talking to?"
"My six year old little sister, your daughter, that's dead."
My mom was speechless, she just hugged me and I cried into hair on her neck.
"You can stay home if you'd like." she said rubbing my head, trying to soothe me,
"No, it's fine, they won't show up at school. If I'm here they'll think I want to hang out with them all day," I explained,
"Well you won't ever get lonely," I'm going to smack a bitch. I gave her that 'did you really just say that' look.
"I'm sorry, that was wrong for me to say, I just trying to make you feel better."
"It's okay mom, I know, your intentions were good,"
"Well if you are going to school, you better get ready so I can take you before I'm late for work."
"Okay," I put on a sweatshirt and jeans on along with converse, brush my hair and out the door.
