Chapter 2

Lauren Ashton's POV

I stared at the knife turning it around in my palms seeing the blood from other girls was already making me queasy but doing it to myself scared me very very much, I looked up and saw four eager faces, once I had done it we could get on with whatever else Izzy wanted to do. I held the knife above my finger and sliced watching the blood ooze out made me gag and I felt faint as I let the blood drip into the container below me as we all 5 rubbed fingers with each other.

"Sisters" Izzy stated as soon as the last two girls rubbed their fingers together.

We all nodded and tried to stop our bleeding fingers from bleeding any longer by applying pressure to them.

"Now" Izzy stated jumping down from her branch to a hole closing the container.

"We have to bury this to make it offcial" we all looked at her as she knelt down by the hole and lifted 5 mini pieces of paper and told us to write a note on them and put them in a container for them to read in the future. We all did as we were told and I had written,

Dear Me,

have I come out of my shell yet?

Love,

Me

And pressed the note into the container on top of her blood drop slowly the girls put their papers in until all the papers were in and Izzy sealed the container placing it under the tree in the hole then covering it up with mounds of dirt and grass.

"Why are we doing this?" Melanie piped up.

Okay pause hold up wait you guys know NOTHING about me so here goes nothing, my name is Lauren Ashton and I am 12 years old (14 now) I love my friends but somtimes feel like I can't truly express myself to them like I have to continue his facade or I won't be 'cool' enough for them.

I honestly don't know who I am anymore I put on constant fronts for my teachers, parents and friends no one knows the true Lauren Ashton I don't know who I am and i struggle with that every day trying to up hold a image. When I let my true self shine through people look at me like I'm insane espiecially Izzy she made me feel lesser some how even though I was much taller then her.

It always felt like a competition between Izzy and I last year she stole my boyfriend away from me and this year we were always fighting over new fashion trends r even which magazine is better seventeen (my personal favorite) or teen vouge (Her favorite). There was always tension between us in school, out of school anywhere for that matter, in my group if you asked me who my favorite was I would say Audrina because she was the most down to earth girl I'd ever met. Okay so now you know a little about me so we can carry on in the story.

"To make memories silly" Izzy told Melanie 'silly' was her new favorite thing to say to us as if she were a adult and we were incompetent preschoolers.

"mmm" murmered Zoey,

I looked at Zoey and at her shirt from 2 years ago it had a small rip at the bottom and looked awfully uncomfortable I ached to help her to show her that someone was there for her but I kept my cool and kept my mouth shut still eying Zoey with pained eyes.

"So what now" Audrina said swinging her feet from the branch she sat on she looked extremely bored but then again she always did.

"We could make bracelets" suggested Melanie that was her favorite thing to do she could sit for hours and hours making bracelets, Izzy grimaced and said

"Whatever fine" she looked smug as Melanie pulled bracelet string out of her kelly green messanger bag and put it in the middle for us to pick colors, unlike everyone else I actually enjoyed it when Melanie suggested simple things like this, I like the quiet feeling well everyone sat intent on finishing their bracelets before dark. I selected 4 diffrent blue strings and set them up under a piece of tape on my leg and startted tying the friendship bracelet into a long string of knots i didn't feel like doing a proper one.

"I'm bored" Izzy stated giving up on the pink strings that were fraying from being twisted so much.

"Me too" sighed Zoey "Sorry"

"It's okay Zoe" Melanie responded letting go of her multi colored strings "I have to go home though Mom said I had to be home at six and its 6 o'five now Ill be back in a half hour though" we all nodded and watched her disappear around the corner I was praying Izzy wouldn't say anything mean about Zoey but of course she did"

"Did you see that shirt she was wearing" Izzy scoffed laughing as if remembering it was so hailarious.

We didn't say anything for fear of picking a fight with Izzy, when you got into a fight with Izzy you might as well have gotton into a fight with God she was cruel to her enimes. After awhile everyone got up and left leaving only me and Melanie, I trailed my bare feet in the dirt underneath the swing and Melanie first broke the silence.

"Can we talk?" she asked holding her knees to her chest biting her lip a trait she had picked up in Indiana when she was 4.

"Of course" I said patting the branch where Audrina usually sat "Sit"

I watched as Melanie jumped down from her branch and scampered onto the branch

"My parents are splitting up" she said gravely looking down at the ground, I was surprised that she had come to me instead of Zoey they were really close friends.

I wasn't sure of how to respond so I simply said

"Oh honey it'll be okay" looking back on my words I realized how little comfort they supplied to Melanie she had cried and I had held her hand for 30 miniutes until my mother called me to come home.

I felt terrible for Melanie as my father had tucked me in that night realizing how great my life really was that my parents wen't so bad after all that they actually were better then most this realization had influenced my life and attitude greatly.
