Rachel looked up at the dim orange sky barely able to move. Her Brunette was dirty and covered in her own blood while her eyes and face were swollen from the hits she took. Her clothes were torn apart, the sound of laughter, violence, and fear where plaguing her mind.

Ring~

She woke up from her daze as she reached for her phone that was still miraculously still in perfect condition, unlike its owner.

"h.e.l.lo," She said.

"Where are you?!" Her mother screamed through the phone.

Cough, Cough, Rachel Puked blood "On my way home."

"Well, you better hurry" Her mother then dropped the call. Rachel sat up painfully and reached for her bag. She pulled out a fresh pair of clothes and a medical kit. She didn't cry nor made any sound as she patched herself up and put her clothes on. She left the old rustic warehouse by the harbor limping back home. Pa.s.sersby saw her with looks of pity but continued their way.

Rachel's eyes glazed over with emptiness as she opened the door to her house and was met with a fist to her face.

"B****, where the f*** where you!?" her Stepfather screamed, red-eyed with alcohol under his breath.

He put his bottle to his mouth and then glared at the onlookers "What the f*** are you looking!" he yelled before dragging Rachel by the hair inside the house.

Rachel didn't scream as she glanced at her mother holding a cigarette and even making and motion to help her.

Her mother nonchalantly looked back at her daughter no emotions ran through her as she watched her husband pull her by the hair and drag her into the bedroom, she continued to look as he throws her on their bed and then locked the door of their bedroom behind him

She still did nothing as she heard the sound of his grunting and satisfaction. She put her cigarette out and walked into her daughter bedroom to sleep for the night.

-Next Morning-

Rachel woke up sore the next morning, she glanced at her Stepfather before getting off the bed, taking her shower, getting dressed and going to school.

She walked into her cla.s.sroom and sat down at her desk. No one was here other than the janitor and the teachers who usually come this early. She looked at her desk-mates seat. The girl had forgotten her PSP here again. Rachel wondered if this thing would ever go missing would she even notice

Rachel picked it up and started to play whatever games on it. It turned out to be an unusual one at that Her desk-mate was j.a.panese foreign exchange student. So, the Game itself was in j.a.panese, Rachel thought herself lucky that she had read a book of the kanji. She wouldn't be at this school otherwise if she wasn't a fast learner.

After an hour of playing, she turned the game off and put it back in its place and awaited the day to be over with.

During her Cla.s.s, she heard nothing but the loud snickers and gossips about her. Some talked in low whispered while others didn't even bother.

Rachel opened her locker only to be shoved into it making her wince in pain.

"Oops, Sorry, didn't see you their loser" the girl laughed with her friend before walking away with them.

Rachel didn't care as she just continued her day.

-After School-

"Hey, Freak" a Vulgar voice called to her as she was about to leave. The vulgar voice and his group of friends laughed evilly at her. Rachel didn't show a hint of emotion as she was rough pulled into the back of a large van that had driven off into an alley.

Not long after the Van shock roughly, then it finally settled. The door opened and Rachel was thrown out like a piece of garbage or roadkill on the side.

At least her clothes weren't destroyed this time. Rachel quickly got back up and walked towards the road of the busy street so she could be on her way back home. She reached inside her bag and pulled out her headphones and played music.

-Played: The Offspring - You're Gonna Go Far, Kid –

Because of this, she didn't realize the person sneaking behind her, the person who shoved her straight into the heavy traffic. Rachel recognized what was going to happen next, her death. But, before that she wanted to thank the person who helped her, slowly turned around to face the young girl who pushed her. Rachel gave a smile of relief which shocked the girl silly.

And then the next thing that happened was darkness as whatever hit her killed her instantly.
