The Shadows Behind Us

Hannah's POV

I wake up, actually, not really. I look around, and see my body. I'm dead, aren't I? I've finally died.

"You might have. It depends," someone says behind me. I flip around to see them. But they aren't shadows anymore, they're people.

Earnest: looks like he did in my dreams. Or nightmares, really. Tears stream down my face.

"Elizabeth, am I dead?" The blonde girl looks up, with sad eyes. She shakes her head and quickly looks back down.

"Please, let me go. Go scar some other eighteen year olds life. Leave me alone!" Tears flow down like a river. Alley comes and takes my hands. It's the first real contact that didn't hurt me.

"Hannah. We've realized that we've hurt you. Earnest and Jay don't regret it, though. But the rest of us do. We just want to help-"

"No! You people are driving me mad! You think that's helping? Look what you've done to my life! You made me become a wallflower, a loner, a loser with no friends! And never mind trying to rape me and kill me , EARNEST. I thought we were supposed to be friends, but you guys became aggressive! I hate you, leave me alone!" I yelled. Alley looked back at the other shadows. Elizabeth was crying, mumbling something that sounded like 'she's might.'

"Look. That's how you were supposed to get rid of us. You had to stand up to us. That's what we were here for, to get you to stand up for yourself. And you've completed that. Take this lesson with you, child. March trough life, don't get pulled through it. We've done out part, now do yours," Alley said, walking back to the shadows. She waves, and they start to dissipate. I stand there stunned.


Theyre gone.
