I woke up in a hospital bed with my parents standing over me. My mom was crying, and daddy was comforting her. That hadn't noticed I woke up. I tried to speak, but it hurt my head, and when I touched it, I felt bandages, soaked. I looked at my hand and saw blood.
"Marie!" I heard my mom and daddy yell out.
I tried to speak again but I couldn't. It hurt to much, so I couldn't speak and I had this huge a-- headache.
Mom grabbed me and hugged as kissed me all over as daddy watched and I winced in pain when she kissed my forehead.
"I'll go get the nurse." daddy said as he left.
"Marie Antoinette Pogue I thought I lost you forever" Mommy said as continued to hug me. "I swear if I colud find out who did this to you, I swear!" She began to cry.
I knew who did it, I heard their laughter as I went down, err, fell down the stairs. I again tried to talk, to tell mom who it was, but nothing came out. Thats when the doctor came in.
"Finally, its been to days, We'd thought she'f never wake up, with those injuries she shouldn't have. Its a miracle."
"Yes, it was. It was truly a mircale" Daddy said, as he joined mom in hugging me.
"Unfornately, she may never be able to talk again." the doctor said.
'WHAT! I CAN NEVER TALK AGAIN!' i thought. I felt the tears down my face like a waterfall. I looked at my parents they were crying right along with me. Then daddy got up and punched the wall leaving a whole. Everyone was surprised at my fathers rage.
"WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID THIS I SWEAR TO GOD! WHO EVER HURT MY DAUGHTER L WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY!" he yelled, his face was the most reddest I had ever seen it.
Just then, a nurse walked in.
" 'Cuse me sir, but this is a hospital, you can't be yelling like that"
"YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT THE F--- I CAN DO!" then he did something I never expected, he grabbed a scalpel off the table and stabbed the lady with it.
He just broke down and cried on the floor, while everyone watched, the the nurse bleed to death, and daddy just laid there and cried. It had happened so fast. Next thing I knew the police came in and tazor him. Mom was screaming for them to let go of daddy.
I couldn't take it anymore. I ripped out all the IV plugs and needle and ran out unnoticed. And I ran, and ran, and ran. I didn't even know where I was going, I just wanted to get away. Far away. From everything.

(from Roc's point of view)
It was me. I was the one who had pushed Marie down the stairs. I didn't think she would really get hurt so we we're laughing. Then we realized she wasn't moving, and then, we saw blood, we freaked out and started screaming. Nobody knows who it was but me and the guys. As far as I know she's in a coma. I felt awful, I really did. We went to far this time. What if she dies, and they find out it was me.
I was walking down the street to Ray's house. All of a sudden some random chick had ran into and we both fell.
"HEY WATCH THE F--- WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" I yelled at her getting up.
She didn't say anything back. She looked horrible. She had a bloody bandage on her head and and she was wearing a hospital gown on her head. She had trails of dry tears on her face.
"Don't you talk." I said. She could've atleast apolagized. Stupid b----.
She looked up at me, her eyes suddenly going from innocent to terrified. Then it hit me. It was Marie. But got up and ran. I tried to catch her but she was to fast. I called to her, but she kept running.
'What have I done to her. She looks horrible' I thought to my self. I watched her run off. I really belive we destroyed that girl.
I sighed and continued walking to Ray's house. I knocked on his door. His mom answered.
"Oh hey Trey!" She said with a smile on her face. "Come in Ray's in his room with Craig and Jacob already."
"Thanks, and you can call me Roc" I said winking at her.
"Uhh... ok uhh... Roc" She answered back and then she went back into the kitchen and cooked dinner.
I walked up to Ray's room.
"Wassup Roc!" They all said as I walked in and they dapped me.
"Hey dudes. Guess who I ran into." I said.
"N---- we don't feel like playing guessing games man..."
I sat on his bed. "Marie."
"WHAT!!!" They all yelled.
"Yeah, she ran into me."
"I thought you killed her" Ray said. The others nodded in agreement.
I thought a bit of how we treated her. I honestly did, but the guys acted as if they didn't care that we'd almost killed a person.
"Ayoo, Roc man... What's wrong with you?" Princeton said, waving his hand in front of my face.
I jumped a little. "Huh?"
"What's wrong with you?" He repeated.
"Well, I been thinking bout this... Don't ya'll think that we may have been... I dunno, a little harsh on her?"
"Nope." They all said. Wow, I never realized how cold hearted we were.
"Nobody liked her anyways..." Prod said flaty. Then he laid back on the bed with his arms behind his head.
"Really, nobody does... She should've stay her a-- in New York... She don't belong here." Ray said.
I need to find her. I really feel bad about what I did... I can't believe, they don't care. I have to find her, and tell her I'm sorry. I got up and walked out.
"Ayeee where you goin?" I heard one of the call out as I left.
"Somewhere." I didn't really feel like talking to them now. I really do see how cold-hearted they are.

(With Marie)
I ran and ran. I was in this neighborhood that had huge houses. REALLY BIG houses, like the kinds you see on TV or whatever. I wasn't paying attention and I ran into someone. He yelled at me as he got up. I tried to say something, but nothing would come out. I looked him and I saw him. It was Roc. I jumped up and ran as fast as I could. If there was anyone I didn't wanna see, it was most definately him. As I ran, I heard him call my name.
I had finally stopped running when I reached a playground. It looked like nobody had played here in years. Paint was chipping off everything. The swing set creaked back and floor as the wind kissed it. I sat on one of the swings and gently swayed back and forth, my feet never leaving the ground. I began to cry, I felt a tear come down my face, and another and another. I never wanted to come back, I wish I could stay here forever. Away from everything. I looked him and the wind blew in my face.
I sat there for what seemed like forever, but it was only about 20 minutes, then I heard a voice. I turned around to see who it was, but I saw no one. So I turned back around. I heard it again and turned back quickly, to see someone come out from behind a nearby tree. He started to walk towards, and I back up slowly. Then I ran, I thought I was getting away, but I felt someone grab me, and through me on the ground. I tried to scream out for help, but no sound came out. The man had grabbed me, and begun to take off my hospital ground. I squeezed my eyes shut, and waited for the worst, then I heard a cry of pain. My eyes shot open, and I saw the man fall over and hold his side. I quickly closed back my hospital gown, and then I saw him.
It was Roc. I began to back away from him.
"Marie, wait." He said, but kept going backwards.
I got up and tried to run, but he grabbed me. I was terrified, I tought he was going to hurt me again.
"Marie, stop. I need to talk to you." I just stared at him. Would could I do, I couldn't speak.
I finally realised he wasn't gonna let me go so I gave up trying to get away.
"Look, I'm sorry, we went to far, I didn't mean for you to get hurt." He looked at me waiting for an answer. "Please, say something." I just looked down.
What, after all this, could make him apologize to me. He almost killed me, and now my father will probably be gone forever, and my mother... I began to cry again.
"Marie, please." He looked me deeply in the eyes, which made me feel nervous. I could look anyone in the eyes without getting nervous, even if I hadn't done anything wrong. I could see, that he was really sorry. But I couldn't forgive, for all the pain, mentally, physically, and emotional, that he and his friends had caused me. I mean I couldn't even speak anymore. Another tear ran down my face, I jerked my arm away.
I picked up a large stick from the ground. I guess he thought I was going to hit him beacuse he backed up. I walked over to a sandbox and I wrote words in the sand: i cnt tlk anymor
I walked back up to him, and pulled off the bandage off my head, revealing a huge scar going across my forehead. He gasped as he saw it. Then I pulled him over to the sandbox and I read it silently in his head. I look of guilt spread over his face.
"Because of me?" He asked, looking at me. I slowly nodded yes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen." I saw a tear go down his face. I was shocked, he was... crying? "Oh my God... I'm sooooo sorry." He hugged me.
I didn't hug him back, I just looked at him with tears in my eyes.
"I'm going to make it up to I promise." He said. Then all of a sudden he picked him up bridal style and started to walk back in the direction I had walked here from. The pain in my head was starting to come back, with an intense pain, then I blacked out again.
