C3 Chapter 3:

“ Look”, She cheered happily. I looked up and saw a park. It was a simple park with two swings, one slide, some monkey bars and a tire swing. It was our park,I haven't realised how much I've missed it over these last two years. I know it's lame for two teenagers to have a park that meant the world to them, but this park truly has a lot of memories from our childhood.

Hannah and I would come over here whenever we wanted to play, just to talk and laugh and also cheer one another up.We came here whenever we needed to get away from our boring and empty house. Seeing as how our parents worked all the time( which makes me wonder why they even care so much to come back, if all they are going to do is to be out on business trips) We would come to this park a lot anytime we felt lonely and were missing our parents. I finally snapped out of my daze to realize Hannah has been visualizing, and was also surprised.

“...... And we were just running, to no where in particular even, and we ended up here! That is just so crazy. I swear I'm pretty sure it must have been a calling or something.oh my God, how I've missed this park! Like sure there are a whole bunch of other parks all over the world and yada yada and all that jazz, but Hailey this is our park! Plus look at what great condition the park is in, nothing changed it still looks like old days, Look at the-

“ Beat you to the swing!”, I shouted jumping to my feet to race her there. She jumped up too and raced with me. She beat me on our way here so before I jumped on next to her,I pushed it once. Then I jumped on one of the swing by the left while Hannah was on the swing by the right, we swung around laughing for a little while.

“ Let's go swing!”Hannah asked giving me her puppy dog eyes. I rolled my eyes and jumped off the tire swing, I could really start swinging though,I felt her pick up my hand and hold it. She intertwined fingers with me giving me a worried look.

“ Are you okay with being back? Like honestly lee? She asked, using my nickname she gave me when we were kids, even though I didn't like it,I mean it sounds like a male Chinese name,don't you guys think so too. Anyways, I sat there for a second thinking. Well of course I knew I wasn't going to enjoy being back but so far it was just fine. Even though it was probably because I hadn't seen Adrian or one of his followers yet.

“Well I'm not jumping for joy,I'll be fine though. I'm kind of scared….. I said trailing off.“ of what” she asked,I took a deep breath. Of the fact that Adrian could do or say something and I go back to cutting myself. I don't want that to happen,I can't let that happen. Pls tell me you will help me so that it doesn't happen!? I asked holding back the waterworks. Ever since Hannah about it,one been more confident to tell her about my feelings and doubts. She's made me stronger just by listening and I couldn't ask for a better sister.

“Hell, why do people in books always talk about how strong they are and that they never cry ever. I cry constantly, sometimes for no reason even, just because it feels good to let it all out. I'm not even strong,I'm a wimp and I'm proud of it.”

Oh,don't worry your pretty little head about it! Everything will be okay. Plus I'm gonna there, and the counselor said we have almost every class together so I can always be there for you. Just don't worry about it, everything will be alright. Plus how fun is it going to be to crash back into our old school almost halfway through the year and be in every class together! We are going to have so much fun, trust me. Oh and you can use your smart skills to help me pass in class “ yes I'm smarter than Hannah”. I rolled my eyes and giggled a little bit. Next thing I knew Hannah was sitting on me and we were doing the spider.

“I love you Hailey, and everything will be pain free and easy! Someone is being emotional and loving. I love you too Hannah, but your weight is killing me here and it really isn't making me pain free. “I said struggling ”. She just laughed and stayed put, not that I expected her to stand up from my body.

“ just suck it up hun”,I'm not standing up anytime soon, you can as well swing allow while I'm on your legs, she leaned into me giving me a tight hug. I hugged her back and we stayed like that for a while.
