MY P.O.V
~~~
No, No, NO, NO!
It wasn't supposed to be this way! I was supposed to be normal! I was supposed to grow up happily! With friends to have my back and understand me, family to car and protect me, a place to run to in case I needed to and somebody who would love me for me!
I was supposed to marry some guy, start a family, grow old with him and be done with my life!
Now you're probably wondering what's happening.
Well, let's rewind, shall we?
~~~
I kept running through the forest, jumping over broken branches and tree roots, dodging the tree limbs that were far too close to the ground, my heart pumping, my legs moving faster and faster.
The wind was whipping my hair around and I consistently had to push it away. But I knew I couldn't stop, no matter how much my muscles told me to. No matter how much I wanted to, no matter how much I wished to turn around and run back to my friends, family and possible lover.
But I couldn't. It would only put them in more dangerous so I ran faster. Faster then I ever knew I could.
And faster.
And faster.
And faster.
Then I tripped.
A vine had somehow popped up and wrapped itself around my ankle, pulling me back and bringing me down from my long run. I slammed into the leaf covered ground with my hands to catch my fall.
It was too much force, I heard a crack and then another one. My left wrist was broken and so was my ankle. I cried out in pain and that's when I realized my head was also there to catch my fall.
The ground absorbing all of the blood that seeped out.
~~~
That's what brings us to this.
People say that your life flashes in front of your eyes when you die. Well, mine just did. Except all I saw was the pain I had caused my loved ones and I knew that this would be the final pain I would feel. The final pain that I would ever cause and even though I knew I was about to die, I was happy.
Even with those thoughts in my head about being normal, I was happy I knew that I couldn't cause anybody else more pain.
With that, my eyes dropped,a smile graced my face and the world I once knew...
Went black.
