Heres my lame attempt to get my own board.... ;D reply if ya like the start... [glow=red,2,300]Part One "Rachael, get your bum down here now! I'm not going to tell you again!" I groaned loudly and shoved the cover off me. I shuffled over to the door and opened it, "Oh My GOD, its only school mum" I moaned as she appeared at the bottom of the stairs "Yes well, its only your second week and i want you to make make a good impression.....o and dont forget to wake up your brother...." she trailed off and walked back into the kitchen. ---------------------------- Matt scramled into the kitchen and grabbed a piece of my toast, "We are soo late, why didnt you wake me up Rach?" "I DID....about 15 minutes ago....but you just said bog off and went back to sleep...hey, give me my toast back!" He ignored what i said and grabbed his bag and my arm and ran out the house, mumbling bye to our mum. "Matt.." i started, "WHAT Rachael?!" "Erm...you can let me go now, i'm not a rag doll.." He finally released my arm as we walked down the road. ---------------------------- So, i suppose i better introduce myself. I'm Rachael Louise, and no its not my first and middle name, my parents decided to be weird and made it just my first name. A little about me......i'm 15 years old and i'm 5ft7, my hair is brown at the moment and i cant remember the natural colour...i think it was blonde...anyway... I suppose you could call me a bit of a loner as i dont really make friends....its along story which i dont want to relive. The guy who nearly detatched my arm from my body is my twin brother, Matt. Although you would never in a million years be able to tell we were twins. We're basically the opposite of each other in every way. He has lots of mates...and i dont have hardly any. He loves pizza...and i hate it. Hes not a vegetarian...while i am. He has a cheeky attitude...while im mostly quiet. You starting to underatnd yet? In fact, the only way we look alike is our eyes and the only thing we both love is music. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Two Its funny how the weather seems to reflect your mood isnt it? Its just started to rain, fan-bloody-tastic. "Oh crap" i squealed and started to run "Oi! Wait up!" Ooops...id been thinking too much and forgotten about Matt. He easily caught up with me and started yammering on about his new mates that he'd met last week. I wasn't really listening until i heard the word 'mates', my stomach gave an uncomfortable lurch and i started to feel really sick. I bent over, trying to stop the sickness, or at least be sick. Then i could go home and not have to go to school. "Hey, are you even listening to me? Rach? Are you ok?" I stood up slowly and saw Matt looking at me with concerned eyes. Sure Matt could be a major pain in the a*s but he was really over-protective of me. "No, not really...." Oh god....i new what was going to happen next. My stomach flipped and threw up everywhere...not a nice site. "Thats it, you're going home....right now." Oh great....Matt is full brother mode...this is gonna be weird. "Come on" He put his arm round my back and half lifted half dragged me home. ------------------------ "MUM!" Matt yelled as soon as we got through the door. "Matt, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at sc...whats wrong with Rachael Louise?" I cringed at the sound of my proper name....she only called me that when i was in trouble or when there was something wrong. Otherwise it was just, Rachael or Rach. "I'm ok mum, Matts just being si.." before i could finish what i was saying he cut me off. "Dont be stupid Rach....mum, she was sick all over the road and i just had to practically lift her..." he trailed off when he saw the look on my face. He quickly let me go as i ran upstairs and straight into the bathroom. ------------------------------ About an hour later...Matt had gone to school with a note for me and him....he needed a note too because he was about an hour and half late. I was cuddled up in my bed waiting for the doctor to come....as soon as mum saw me being sick she rang the doctors. I normally would have argued with her...but i didnt have the strength. So it's just me, lying here by myself. My mum's downstairs making some.....well i dont what shes making but the smells making me feel sicker. I said to Matt and mum earlier that i didn't know why i was sick...god i'm such a lier, but i think Matt knew i was lying...he normally did, it was the whole 'twin thing'. He'd probably ask me why later....and i'm dreading having to tell him, he thinks i'm over it but i'm not. I wish i was...heck i even pray that i will get over it soon....but it seems god has better things to do than answer my prayers. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Three Wow...i never knew lying in your bed could be sooo boring. All you can basically do is think. *flashback* "Bu bu but you guys said you were my mates..." i cried trying desperatly to stop my tears. "Yeah...well we were just pretending the whole time...right guys?" A load of 'yeahs' and 'wow we're good actors' could be heard throughout the group of my 'mates'. "You didn't think we'd actually be mates with someone like you? Did you?" All i could do was cry....well there wasnt really anything else i could do, i was tied to a tree. My legs and arms wrapped in rope and my face full of bruises and scratches. They laughed at how pathetic i looked, crying my heart out, from the physical and emotional pain i'd been put through. One by one they shuffled back and left me alone with him...he was called Paul. He moved slowly towards me holding a knife in his hand and an evil glint in his eye..... ----------------------- NO! i can't think of that now.....i only noticed i was crying when i looked at my pillow, it was soaked with tears. I stared at my arms. All around my elbows i had faint scars from the rope....they had tied it soo tight. "Stop it Rachael! Right now!" I said out loud, i was supposed to be trying to forget it not relive it, It had been 1 year ago when it happened. It was the reason i could never trust anyone.....ever again. ---------------------- "Rachael dear....the doctors here" my mum spoke softly as she opened the door, reveiling Dr. Martin. The doc left after a while...he diagnosed a stomach virus, i was perscribed some tablets. He said i could probably manage school tomorrow if i took it easy. Pfft.....if he knew, if he lived what i had...he wouldnt have said that. ---------------------- "Hey RachLou!" Matt smiled as he entered my bedroom, he never knocked...it was one of the things that annoyed me most about him. But this time, i thought i'd let it slide. "Aww Wachy...whats wong?" I smiled slightly at his use of babyish words, but my smile soon faded as i burst out crying again. Matt ran straight over and sat on the bed, wrapping his arms round me, gently rocking as i let all the pain out...the only way i knew how..... Matt now knew what was wrong...i could tell, call it 'twin intuition'. He whispered words of comfort in my ear as i cried.
Part Four I woke up really early, the sun started to appear in the sky. The warm glow felt like knives on my face so i tried to move out from the light, but found that Matt was still holding on tight to me. His arms cuddling loosly around me. I smiled to myself i watched him sleep, snoring softly. My clock/radio started to beep loudly but i quickly pressed the snooze button, deciding i should let Matt sleep a little bit longer. He looked so sweet as his eyes gently fluttered now and again, his mouth twitching slightly as he dreamt. I carefully slid out of Matt's grip and quickly got changed into my school uniform as i was still in yesterdays clothes, so was Matt. We'd fallen asleep about 5 minutes after i'd stopped crying. ----------------------- I walked through to the bathroom and began by splashing my face with some water, trying to get rid of the tear-stains on my rosey cheeks. I normally had a quite ghostly complection, but whenever i cried my face would go bright red. I sighed realising i wasn't going to win this battle, i brushed my teeth and walked downstairs while trying to tame my hair into submission with a brush. ------------------------ "Hello dear, i've made you some toast and theres a glass of orange juice on the table" my mum smiled at me as i sat down, why was she being so nice? Matt couldn't have told her...he was with me the whole time. "I heard you crying upstairs last night Rachael. What was the matter?" That explained it...she'd heard me."Oh...i er...was just...just feeling sick thats all." I mumbled quickly, not wanting to be asked more questions. "Thats ok then....so are you ready for school then?" she said brightly as Matt came running into the kitchen...late again. "Rach! You didnt wake me up!" "Sorry, you looked too sweet to wake up..." I said grinning cheesily. Matt looked somewhat shocked at what i had said....i wasn't normally that nice to him. The shock i had seen in his eyes was soon replaced with embarrassment. "O...yeah..er...come on or else we'll be late for school...again" "Ok ok, i'm coming" "Bye mum" we said at the exact same time. Another 'twin thing'. ---------------------- We got to school early for once. "Oi! Matt!" someone shouted from across the playground. We turned to see who it was... i didn't know the guy but if he wasn't smiling i would've thought he was about to pummle me. He was sooo tall. "Hey Charlie!" Matt shouted in return and started to run over to a group of people who was stood at the edge of the playground, dragging me with him. No Matt, i thought...starting to worry more the closer we got. "Hey Dude" said a girl with short brown hair...she seemed nice enough, but thats what i thought about my other 'mates' and look what happened then. I quickly shook my head deciding that i shouldn't judge people who id just met. "Who's she?" she said the smile fading off her face "is she your girlfriend?" OMG, i can't believe she could think that. Ewwwww. "NO WAY!" we said at the same time again. "This is my twin sister, Rachael Louise." I gave Matt the most evil glare i could muster, i cant believe he just called me that. "Rach, this is Kriz and these other people are..." he pointed them out as he said there names. There was a quiet girl at the back who was called Heleen, the giant i saw earlier was Charlie, there was this guy called Danny who had his arm round Sarah, who looked incredible with her long brown hair and perfect nails. Then there was Jadie who had the best and brightest blue streaks i've ever seen, she was stood next to Tom who couldn't wipe the grin off his face. Leah was stood opposite me, when she was introduced she gave me a small wave. Matt said that Jadie and Danny were twins too, but you could tell that a mile away....they looked similar in almost every feature. He also added that there was some other people they usually hung round with, but they wern't there yet. Last of all there was James....he lifted his head and winked at me, i thought my heart had stopped....he looked soo good. I smiled at him but before i could say a word the bell rang. Typical, school always has to ruin the moment...doesn't it? [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Five Two minutes later we arrived at registration, Leah, Danny and Tom were in a different tutor so we'd meet up with them later. Or at least Matt would and i'd tag along (or rather be dragged along) because they wern't technically my friends, if i had my way i wouldnt even be hanging around with them. --------------------------- "Hellooo? Earth-to-Rachael-hello? Is anyone in there?" Matt started knocking on my forhead. "Ow Matt, quit it!" i cried. "Oh right, so you are alive then. Its just ive been trying to talk to you for the past 2 minutes and youve just been ignoring me" he explained, "sorry...just thinking." We were walking to Geography together as everyone else had different lessons. I was in most of the lower classes because i missed practically a whole years worth of lessons after...well...the 'incident' as Matt calls it. Matt's in the lower classes because...well hes not as smart as alot of people, but it doesnt make him feel bad. "Not again" i heard Matt mumble as a group of sl*tty-looking girls walked past eyeing him up, the one at the front shouting saucy stuff to him. He blushed bright red. Sure Matt's cheeky and loves making jokes, but he gets embarrassed reallyeasily. I decided to try and take Matt's mind off it by starting a random convo. "Erm...Matt?" I didnt really want to talk about this but there was nothing else to say and i was dying to get it off my chest. "What?" he replied, looking me in the eyes. He knew i wanted to tell him something important. Its the whole 'twin thing' again. "Well...you dont think that these guys...your mates are...well...going to turn out to absolutley hate me do you?" i said as quickly as i could. Matt suddenly stopped and led me into an empty corridor. "Listen, you have to learn to trust people again, Rach. Not everyones going to turn out like your stupid old so-called-mates." He looked at me, his eyes burning into mine. "Yeah...but...." "No Rachael, no but's. If you dont trust anyone else, you trust me dont you?" It was true, i did trust Matt more than anyone else, more than any of my family, even my mum. "Yes" i replied simply. He nodded to show it was ok, gave me a quick hug and we jogged to class. ---------------------------- "Right class, if you'd like to explain the three ways in which the movement of the earths tectonic plates can cause earthquakes in your books please. Our teacher, Mr Armatage rambled on enthusiastically while everyone else groaned. "Oh come on people! With that attitude you'll never pass your GCSE's will you?" he said on a slightly angrier tone. Me and Matt were both sat at the back. He sort-of started his work...well he opened his book and wrote the down the date and title, thats working isnt it? I just sat there day-dreaming now and again about James...geez wot am i like. I only met the guy once and im already day-dreaming about him..... "Miss Willis? RACHAEL LOUISE!" the teacher bellowed from the front of the class. I cringed again and said clearly, "Sir, i'm not deaf you know. You couldve just asked if you wanted some attention." "What?" he said on an icy tone. Everyone was staring at me now, including Matt. I wasn't normally the one to back-chat a teacher, especially that cheekily but i wasnt in a very good mood and i dont like nearly being deafened either."I think you heard what i said sir, and i dont like being called Rachael Louise sir, i perfer Rachael...sir" "THATS IT MISS WILLIS GET TO THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE RIGHT NOW!" He was clearly not a teacher to be messed with as several people on the front row flinched as he shouted. I however wasnt that bothered....id heard all the shouting before, id learnt how to block it out. "See you later Matt" i whispered to my twin, who was clearly shocked at my outburst. I grabbed my things and walked, at a normal pace, out of the room. I heard several 'you go girl' 's which was cool to me. I ran the rest of the way to the principals office. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Six I slowled my pace down a little, i've got asthma so if i caried on running id probably end up collapsing or something. I don't understand why i lost my cool....i'm normally the quiet one who just sort of blends in with everything else. I don't get mad, i get upset. So why? This is just confusing me now. I'm gonna have to stop thinking so much. -------------------- Knock knock. "Come in" i heard a muffled voice say, so i opened the door and stepped inside the office. "Ah, you must be the new student in year...11, am i right?" I nodded and realised that i hadn't even met the principal before. Just the deputy. "So, its....Miss Willis then?" I nodded again, this was going to be a looong time. "Right then, I'm your principal, Mr Gaunt." What brings you to see me then?" I handed him the note i had been given in Geography. He read it slowly, the smile disapearing off his face. "Well Miss Willis, this is your second week and already you've been sent to me for distrupting the class and back-chating to your teacher." He sighed and took his glasses off, looking me in the eye. "Sorry...Rachael Louise, is it?" I cringed yet again and spoke in a mumbled voice, "Sir, i dont really like being called that. Could you just call me Rachael?" I asked in the most polite voice i could manage. There was no point in getting in even more trouble. "Yes yes...ok then..Rachael. I'm sorry but i'll have to give you detention....every day after school up till Thursday." ------------------ That wasnt soo bad... it's Tuesday today! The bell rung for second lesson so i turned round and walked towards Music. "Hey! RachLou wait up!" I didnt reconise the voice but i didnt mind being called that so i stopped walking and turned around. My heart skipped a beat....it was James running up to me. A huge grin spread on his face. I could've died and gone to heaven. "Nice to see you again." "Yeah, hi. I didnt really talk to you earlier did i?" Eh...i was being confident....this wasnt me."No you didnt, but i'll let you off this time. So what lesson you got next?" "Music" "Me too..." He grin grew even bigger, if that was possible. "Cool" i smiled and we carried on walking... [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Six continued
I felt a pair of hands on my eyes...I knew who it was before he spoke. "Guess who?" "Hmm...maybe my very annoying twin?" He took his hands away and walked at my side. "I'm not the one who shouted at the Mr Armatage though am i?" "You did what!?" everyone around me said, apart from Matt obviously. I'd just realised that all Matt's mates were walking with us. "I...er...sort of lost it..." i muttered looking at my feet. "I can't believe you! Mr Armatage's one of the strictest teachers at this school!" Kriz said in a shocked voice. I looked around and realised we'd stopped walking and everyone was gawping at me. "You really did lose it....you told him" Matt coughed trying to use my tone of voice "if you wanted some attention you could've just asked" everyone looked even more shocked....especially Kriz. Lucky for me the bell rung. "Er...we're gonna be late guys." I squeaked, wishing everyone would turn away. "Yeah, come on...you know what Miss Turnbull's like..." Leah trailed off and began walking, everyone followed suit and ran to catch up with her. Everyone apart from Matt and Kriz, who stayed walking by my side. It was actually quit funny watching them, looking at each other at different times, blushing when they made eye contact. It was soo obvious that they liked each other. "Matt?" i whispered so only he could hear me. He looked at me so i carried on. "Its obvious Kriz likes you so stop being a baby and ask her out" "What? No way...anyway look whos talking. Ive seen you and JB staring at each other" "Shut up Matt!" i blushed and stared at my feet. I do like James but he could never like me. I refuse to believe it. -------------------------- Krizz dragged me to the back row where all the girls were sitting. "You can sit next to me" she said happily. I sat down, but i felt out of place....i mean, they hadnt even said they were my friends. "Dont you think so Rach?" "Erm...sorry i wasnt listening" I realised they had been chatting about something and i was supposed to be listening. "We were saying how cool it is that you told Mr Armatage all that stuff and you didnt even care that you got detention." Sarah explained. "O..yeah...but i only got three days after school detention" i muttered. "Yeah well...no-ones ever had the guts to say that to him" Jadie said enthusiastically. "Right" it was all i could think of to say. "LADIES AT THE BACK! WOULD YOU MIND PAYING ATTENTION?" i jumped as Miss Turnbull yelled at us. We took the hint and turned back to the front, we were all sat in a sort-of circle. ------------------------ The rest of the day went by slowly and i got to know everyone alot better. I learnt that the quiet girl, Heleen who i'd met this morning is Charlies long term girl friend and Sarah and Danny had just started dating. You could tell that easily though, they were always sneaking off together and hugging all the time. Tom and James both lived near me and Matt so we walked home together after my detetion. They were nice enough to wait for me.....but there was no way i trusted them yet. "See you guys later" James said as he walked down another road. "Bye!" Shouted Matt and Tom, while i just smiled and waved. He waved and grinned back so i turned back to Tom and Matt, who were in deep converstation. I could tell Matt was embarrassing Tom, 'the poor guy' i thought as i saw Tom turn bright red. "What are you two talking about?" i enquired, mildly interested. "TOM here wont ask Jadie out coz he thinks she doesnt like him!"Matt said sounding exasperated while Tom turned a nice fuscia color. "Well, Jadie never stops talking about you Tom...so if you asked her out i'm positive she'd say yes." i explained, it was true...it was all she talked about. Tom this Tom that...is was a bit annoying. Tom smiled at me and carried on smiling until we got to his house, he live three doors down from us. "So then Rach" he put his arm round my shoulder "What do ya think of the guys then?" he said smiling, "they're ok...i suppose...." [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Seven The week flew by and before i knew it, it was Saturday. We were all going to meet at the local shopping centre that afternoon. *Ring ring.....ring ring...ring* "Hello? Matt speaking" I heard matt talking on the phone in the front room, i was making tea for us in the kitchen. My mum had gone out with her mates. Dad was where he normally was, the graveyard. Thats right. Hes dead. He was killed coming home from work and it was my fault. He'd just picked me up from school because i had an hours detention, so dad was taking me home. I sat in the back as usual but instead of concentrating on the road, he was too busy yelling at me. Saying if i wanted to go anywhere in life i had to stop getting in trouble all the time. He turned around just as i yelled back. Bad move. We were crossing a busy road when crash. Another car slammed straight into us. Dad's legs were crushed and he suffered a huge blow to the he*d. He was killed instantly, while i was left watching as my father died. I only recieved minor injuries and a mild concussion. I shook my he*d, trying to get rid of the images that still haunted me. I finished off the tea and walked through to the front room. "So, who was on the phone?" I asked Matt who had a HUGE grin on his face. Matt just continued to stare into space with the same lop-sided grin. "EARTH CALLING MATT!!" i bent down and screamed in his ear. He jumped up and started yelling something about him not being deaf but that i probably had made him deaf now. "Ok ok...i'm sorry.." now it was my turn to stare into space. *Flachback* "NOOO! Dad please wake up...i'm sorry...please dont be mad at me...dad...wake up please god wake up..." i wailed as i tried to undo my seatbelt. As soon as i undid it the engine burst into flames.....
"Rachy...Rachy are you alright??" I snapped out of it and realised i was in a heap on the floor, with Matt crouching down beside me, trying to help me up. I smiled inside at what he'd called me...Rachy. He used to call it me when we were kids....i called him Mattie. It all came flooding back again. *Flashback* I froze...oh no...flames. We were going to burn alive. My dad wasnt dead..he wasnt... "I won't believe it!" i cried out. The rest was a blur...next thing i knew i was watching the car explode. "i'm sorry daddy...i'm soo sorry" i kept whispering it over and over again. "I'm sorry daddy...please come back....i'm sorry...i promise i'll be good from now on...no more detetions....i'm so sorry...." "Rachy?! Come on snap out of it....its not you fault he died....its no-ones fault." Matt kept saying the same words over and over again...but they ment nothing. It was my fault....my fault. ----------------------- I eventually snapped out of it...convincing myself that theres no point in trying to change the past. We both sat on the sofa, me curled up in Matt's arms. "Who was on the phone then?" i said trying to break the silence. "Oh, it was Kriz. Her and a couple of the guys are coming over soon. The rest will meet up with us in the shopping centre." he explained, while grinning again at the sound of Kriz's name. "No wonder you were smiling soo much..."i trailed off trying to act innocent. "Whats that supposed to mean?" "Oh..nothing" "No come on...tell me what your on about.." "Well...its soo obvious that you have the biggest crush on her possible." i looked up at him as i had my he*d rested on his legs. He was the same fuscia color as Tom was when i told him Jadie liked him. "D...d...dont be daft...i dont have a c..crush on K...kr...Kriz..." he stuttered, trying to act normal. I lifted my he*d up and looked Matt straight in the eyes. "Matt, who are you trying to kid? I'm your twin remember....i've known you all my life, i can tell when your lying..." i said with a very smug smile. He grinned back and pulled me into a hug. "Can't fool you at all can i?" "Nope not a chance" i pulled out of the hug and kissed him on his forhead. "Eww..." he cringed and wiped his forhead. I laughed and ran up stairs to get changed. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Eight (wow eight already)
"Rachy.....hurry up people are here!!" I heard Matt yell from downstairs. "OKOK" I ran downstairs and into the kitchen where Matt and James were. They were stood with there backs to me so i coughed a little and James turned round. His eyes nearly popped out of his he*d and his mouth practically hit the floor. I blushed and looked at what i was wearing. I had my short denim skirt on with one of my fave(very)low-cut tops. Well....my aunt says if you've got it...flaunt it...so i did. I'd managed to tame my hair into a neat ponytail which made my purple streaks stand out more than usual. "RACHAEL?!" Matt cried when he finally turned round. "What?" i said with a small smile on my face. I knew Matt hated me wearing such flaunting things, like i said before....after what happened with Paul and the gang hes been very wary about me and boys. James however was just stood gawping. Everyone who was here walked into the kitchen, probably to see what all the shouting was about. "Ooo...i love your top Rach" Sarah was the first to break the silence....as usual. "Thanks" i smiled back and walked over into the front room. Out of the corner of my eye i saw Sanne and Heleen both slap Charlie round the head when they saw he was stood staring at my chest. I giggled to myself and sat on the sofa. ---------------------------- After a while of chatting, Danny arrived. He walked through, said hi to everyone and sat immediatly next to Sarah....typical. After even more chatting, plus a lecture off Matt for me, we decided we should go and meet Tom, Jadie, Leah and Kriz. I walked next to James and Matt, i talked to Matt for a while but noticed James was staring occasionally at me. I blushed bright red when we made eye contact, he did aswell. Of course Matt and Charlie had to notice didnt they? They basically pushed me aside and started quizzing James with such questions as: Dude, do you like my sister? Are you gonna ask her out? and stuff like- we saw you staring. I felt so sorry for James so i pushed back passed them, grabbed his arm and ran to the front of the group. "Thanks" he mumbled and blushed again. "No problem...i know what Matt can be like..." i trailed off as we made eye contact again. We were silent from then on, but it wasnt awkward it was more of an understanding. He coughed and began reaching for my hand. I noticed this and entwined my fingers around his. I looked at him and we both smiled. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Eight continued
We all ran inside the shopping centre as quick as we could. It had started to rain so we were all soaked. I hadnt stopped smiling since James held my hand so i'm not really bothered with the fact i'm frozen, even though i'm wearing a very short skirt. Charlie had spotted the others sat in McDonalds so him and everyone else ran over, apart from James who still had a tight grip on my hand. "Erm....Rachael?" he mumbled "What?" i said, turning round fully to see him. He was looking at his shoes, "willyoubemygirlfriend?" "Erm...JB...your gonna have to slow that down and speak a little louder.." "Will you be my girlfriend?" he said slower, but not louder. I thought i'd let him suffer a little bit longer. I pulled him to the side, out of the view of Matt who i saw was closley watching through McD's window. "Of course i will..." i said grinning (i never grin...so you could tell how happy i was...) He lifted his he*d up so i could see he was smiling that drop-dead gorgeous smile of his. He leaned in and we kissed, letting it grow more passionate by the second. I opened my mouth slightly, letting him snake in his tounge, playing with mine, until the kiss came to its natural ending....it was like one of those fairy tale endings....even though this was just the beginning. ------------------------ We turned the corner to Matt stood there gawping at us. Everyone else was there too, but they (unlike Matt) were grinning like mad. "What wrong with you guys?" James said...trying to act normal. "OH I THINK YOU WOULD KNOW!" Matt yelled so everyone in the centre started staring at us. "Oh SHUT UP Matt!! I'm not a baby...i can look after myself....and if i want a boyfriend i'll have one!" I yelled back, Matt always did this. "You would think so after what happened last year!" he shouted back. I froze, i can't believe he just said that. "I cant believe you....bringing that up...w..wh....when you know what happened..." i started to stutter as all the memories came flooding back again. I felt tears well up in my eyes...no...i refuse to cry here. "Oh god...i'm sorry Rach...i...i didnt know what i was saying..."he explained quickly, but i wasnt having any of that..."No way Matt....i...i nearly died...i..i totally broke down and y..you bring that up...No way.." Everyone looked horrified when i said this. I looked at James....and the tears started to fall as i ran...i ran and ran and ran. I didnt know where i was going, i just wanted to get out of there. ---------------------------- Matt's point of view "I am the worlds biggest g*t...arnt i?" I said looking at everyone. I sighed..."Well the least i should do is explain to you what happened, i know Rachael wont hae gone home so if you want to listen...come with me..." i trailed off and started walking. I glanced behind me, the were following...at least they seem to care, i thought. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Eight continued (again)
Matt's point of view still
Everyone came through the door behind me. God....this is gonna be one long story i thought to myself. I took a deep breath and walked through to the front room where everyone was sat. They looked up when i came in. --------------------- Rachael's point of view
I finally stopped running...desperatley trying to get my breath back...oh no. I didnt have my inhaler...this is bad....i took one last breath and everything went black. ---------------------- Matt's point of view
I sat next to Kriz and took a deep breath. Making sure i got all the details right in my head....i began to explain. "I suppose it all started when our dad died....he was bringing Rachael home from school about 4 years ago...she was really bad back then, always in trouble...she'd got an hours detetion that day. All i know is dad took his eyes off the road whilst yelling at her and another car crashed straight into them. He died instantly but Rach...she just had a few cuts and bruises...she blamed herself for him dying... Whenever she remembers it she repeats the same words she did when she watched the car explode...'i'm sorry daddy...i'm soo sorry' It completely traumatised her...she stopped talking to her mates...so they left her. It was just me and her...you see...i didnt have any friends...she was the popular one with all the 'bad' friends. I was just the scrawny runt with the dirty blonde hair..." i looked round at everyone, they all looked shocked. Kriz placed her hand on mine and gave me a watery smile as she and the other girls were all crying. James had silent tears rolling down his face aswell. He spoke for the first time in about an hour. "Dirty blonde hair...really?" "Yeah...i got teased because of it so i dyed it black." "Carry on mate..." Charlie said in his usual deep, calm voice. "Alright" i took another deep breath and started again... [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Eight continued (again again)
Rachael's point of view.
Next thing i knew, i could hear people talking to me and sirens in the background....slowly approaching. I could hardly breath...and even when i did it would be painful. My chest feels like it's going to explode...it hurts soo much. My eyes closed again and my world disapeared into blackness. ------------------- Matt's point of view
"Last year...something even worse happened." I began trying to explain again...everyone was staring at me apart from James, i knew he was listening because every now and then he would let out a sob...."It started off to be a good year....we both moved schools because of the bullying and as usual Rachy got the most friends and i was left to the side. No matter how much she tried to make me feel involved, i couldn't. I was a loner...liked being on my own. Her mates were really nice....well, thats what Rachael thought of them. That changed though...alot. She still won't fully talk about what happened, but i managed to get enough out of her to understand. They wern't her friends at all....they were bullies. But not the kind of bullies that tease you and trip you up when you walk by. They were cruel, sick and twisted. They had all planned to go out and hang around the wood that was near to where we lived one night. It hurts to explain it in detail so i wont. Basically, she got tied to a tree, tortured, raped and left to die." I had tears streaming down my face now, as did everyone else...yes even us guys cry. James looked as though he was about to be sick. "Why?" was all he said. "Only she knows...and she wont tell me..." i whispered as i tried to hold back even more tears. "God....i never imagined you would say anything like this when we came here..." said Jadie, choking back the tears for a second. ------------------ Rachael's point of view
Beep....beep......beep. I woke up to that horrible sound again. It was the sound i'd woken up to a year ago, so i knew i was in hospital. I opened my eyes and saw that a doctor was stood at the bottom of the bed. He smiled when he noticed i was awake. "Welcome back.....you gave us quite a scare there you know.." "What happened?" i whispered because my throat hurt...i must have had a tube down it. "Your asthma triggered a panic attack, your heart stopped in the ambulance but the paramedics managed to start it again." he paused for a minute while he was checking my heart monitor. I'd spent soo long in hospital before, i knew what almost everything was. "We really need to get in touch with your family. Can you give me a phone number?" "Er...yeah. My mums out but my twin brother will probably be in. The number is- 01484317801" "Ok....we'll phone him and he can get in contact with your mum and dad. What's his name?" he asked politely. "His name is Matt and i don't have a dad....hes dead..." i whispered the last part, not wanting to get all upset again. He looked at me sympathetically and walked out of the room. Leaving me to sleep. ------------------------ Matt's point of view
There was just slience in the room now, apart from the occasional sobbing mainly from James. I walked over to him and pulled him into a hug. He just cried on my shoulder.....but i didnt care. "Sorry JB.....i'm really sorry about before" i mumbled. "Its ok man....i get why you were angry....." he sobbed, still hugging me tight. We stayed like this for a few minutes...it was nice to know that he was still my mate. Ring ring.....ring ring....I pulled away and ran over to the phone. "Hello, Matt Willis speaking." "Hello, this is Northern General hospital....we were given this number by you sister....Rachael Louise, who was brought in early today...." "OMG...is she alright?" i asked dreading the answer.."Shes in a stable condition but if you could get hold of your mother....it would be very helpful." "Yeah yeah...i'll be right there..bye" i put the phone down. "Rachaels in hospital....i need to get there now.." i explained quickly. [/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Part Nine
Matt's point of view
I ran along the corridor with James following close behind. We'd decided only me and James should go and then let the others know whats happening. I finally got to a desk. "R..Rachael Louise W..Wi...Willis please....she w..was brought in e...e...earlier..." i panted trying to get my breath back. "Ahh...yes you must be Matthew Willis...yes?" the woman looked at me with a weird expression. I didnt have time to argue over the fact she had called me Matthew and not Matt so i just said "Yes....my sister...is she ok? Can i see her?" i asked looking at her desperatley while she fiddled with some papers. "Hmm yes you can...its just down the corridor, fourth door on your right..." she tailed off and began typing on her computer...."Thanks..." i said "b*tch" i heard James mumble. I smiled slightly and ran round to her room. ----------------------------- Rachael's point of view
I heard the door open so i looked up to see Matt and James stood there. It was obvious they had been crying and by the looks of it running too. "Oh god your ok..." Matt said and rushed over to me holding my hand. James came to my other side and kissed my hand softly, then held it. I smiled at him and he gave me a half-smile back. "Matt....you havnt been crying over me have you?" i said in a sly voice...knowing that it would annoy him. "No....of course not.." he looked at me and kissed my cheek.
Matt's point of view
"Ewww Matt...what with the cheesyness?" she said while trying to sit up. "Hey...lye still or you'll hurt yourself" James said. "God you guys are soo cheesy today arn't you?" she giggled. "Rach? What happened?" "So, why are you guys looking soo depressed?" she was trying to avoid the question....i knew she was... "Rach just answer the question" i said "Oh...i just had a panic attack...no big deal.." she trailed off staring at the ceiling. "What do you mean no big deal?!"James said, looking concerned. "I'd run too much and i didnt have my inhaler so i paniced which made it worse, i ended up blacking out in the middle of the street then i just woke up here." she explained quickly. "You crazy person...."James started and stood up to hug her. After he sat back down she said "now you answer my question...."
Rachael's point of view
I had a good idea what they were upset about but i wanted to hear it from them. "Well....i had to tell them Rach...i couldnt let them go away confused.." Matt said "Oh...you told about...everything didnt you?" i was stunned, i'd only half expected him to say that. "Yeah....i'm sorry.." he trailed off as his eyes filled with tears. I looked at him and gave his hand a squeeze, he looked at me and i smiled. "It ok." i whispered. He smiled and hugged me tight.
A week later i finally got out of hospital, but i still had to go straight back to school. The guys were really nice to me still and didnt freak out when Matt told them. I was grateful that i could actually have some sort-of mates. I still dont trust them fully, i dont know why....its really strange. The only people i do trust are Matt and James. Me and James are officially dating now and Matt doesnt seem to have a problem with it anymore. -------------------- Beep beep beep beep...argh school....beep beep beep "Oh shut up!" i said and rolled over hitting the snooze button. [/glow]
