In my house, mom asked me lots of question like, what happen? How did it happen? Where did you go? On and on and on. Luckily there was Alex to answer the entire question. He told my parent that Ryan had to go home because there was some problem at his home and it was so dark out there that I stumbled on the rough road. After mom clean up my hands and knees, she bandages them.
"I think I should be going now," Alex said to us.
"Thanks," I said to him. He waved at me and left the house.
Dad helps me up the stairs. When I lay in the bed, dad looked at me.
"Sara, do you still love us?" he asked. Mom came next to me.
"I know there's something going on with the three of you," he continued. Yes dad, all had gone wrong. Tears ran down my cheek. I know I have to tell them sooner or later. So I decided to tell them the whole story.
"Everything had gone wrong dad. I don't think that I'm strong enough to carry on like this," I said.
"You have to be strong. You are the strongest child I ever seen. We are going to help you," dad said, mom smiled at me. I know they won't let me down. I am lucky to have parent like them.
Dad and mom take turn to kiss me then they left the room together. I can't sleep. I just stared at the ceiling. I am a very bad person, I never hurt anybody before, but now, I have hurt a friend that care for me so much. I have to avoid Ryan tomorrow at school. What have I become, I used to be a cheering girl, but now, I don't want to think about it anymore.

I have been very careful not to run into him.
"Sara," I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Ally said angrily.
"I'm very sorry Ally. But I beg you not to talk about it anymore," I plead her.
"You were forgiven. But don't do that again," she said and we both laugh.
"Two of the football players are fighting at the basketball hall!" somebody shouted.
"Oh no, it must be them," I said to Ally. Both of us rush to the basketball hall.
I can see two figures were struggling on the floor with the other students watching them. I run through the crowd to get a closer look. I know it, it is them. Ryan keeps on punching Alex face. I can see blood came out from Alex nose. Somebody have to stop this.
"Stop it! Stop it!" I shouted again and again. I can't believe that I just did that. The hall becomes quiet. Everybody including the two of them seems to be frozen.
"Sara," Ryan said, walking towards me.
"Just stay there! Don't come near me!" I shout at him and run to the nearest toilet. I locked myself in on of the cubicle.
"Why? What have I done wrong? Why God?" I asked.
"Sara, are you in there?" Ally knocked on the door.
"Sara are you alright?" she asked. I unlocked the door and went out. I went to the sink and splashed some cold water at my face.
"I will not see any of them. Look at me Ally. I'm not the Sara I used to be. I, I'm,” I broke of and cry. Ally came to me and hugged me.
"Shhh, I'll always help you. You don't have to see any of them if you don't want to," she said.
"Thanks," I said.
"Hey, that's what friends are for," she said again.
With the help of Ally, I had been able to avoid Ryan and Alex. I went straight home after school. I spend most of the time lock in my bedroom.
"Sara," mom enters the room.
"There's a call for you from Alex. Do you want to talk to him?" mom asked.
"No. I don't feel like talking to anyone right now," I said.
"Well, if that what you want. I'll tell him that," mom said and leaves the room.
After dinner, I went back to my room. Mom and dad seem to understand my situation very well. They didn't ask me anything. But I know deep down in their heart, they are worry about me. After I have done all my schoolwork, I switch off the light. I try to sleep, but I can't. I went out to the garden. I need some fresh air. I can feel the wind blow softly at my face. It makes me relax and I can feel all my muscle began to relax too.
"Sara," It startled me and I quickly turn around. It is Alex. I can't see his face because it is very dark out here.
"Sara why are you doing this to me?" he asked in a very sad tone. He comes closer to me. Now he is very close to me, I can feel his hot breath at my head. His eyes are icy cold. They looked empty and it scares me.
"Answer me Sara," he said grabbing both of my arms. I don't know what to answer.
"Because I don't love you," I said. My god, what am I saying. I can't believe it just came out from my mouth. I looked straight at his chest; I don't dare to see his face.
"You must be lying. I don't believe you. If you really mean it, then look in my eyes and say it one more time," he said in daring tone. I have to do it; I have to get away from him before I hurt him further more. I have to do it for our own good. I took a deep breath and look into his eyes.
"I don't love you," I said slowly.
His eyes were still icy cold.
"If you really mean it…" I waited for him to continue but he just walked away. I feel like I just lost the most precious thing I ever had, I feel like my heart been stab by a very sharp knife million of times.
"I still love you Alex, I did it because I don't want to hurt you further more," I said quietly. I know that I am all alone again; I can feel the emptiness ruling my soul. I walk slowly back to the house.
