As I pulled the car dizzily into Amelia's driveway, she burst from the door, rushing to meet me. I groaned, stumbling out of the parked vehicle and into her arms. "I knew you shouldn't have gone!" My best friend said with concern as she half dragged half carried me into the house. She hauled me up the stairs and kicked her cracked door open to lay me on her bed. I groaned again as she left me in her room, soon returning and dripping water into my mouth. "I'm calling my mom."

~~~

I soon had a wet cloth draped over my forehead and my cuts were bandaged and cleaned. "Thanks..." I mumbled weakly, keeping my eyes closed as I laid on my back on Amelia's bed. I sighed, lifting my head to take a drink of water before letting it flop lazily back onto the pillow. "My life sucks..."

My eyes stung with tears as I pulled the covers off of my body and checked out the cuts and bruises. One bandage was full of blood from where "Satin" had cut me on the arm with a knife when I was locking the door behind me. I grimaced, taking a deep breath and standing. Dizziness hit me, but I knew I had to get up. "Ames, can you help me down the stairs?" I spoke in a low whisper. 

Amelia sighed and helped me up, half carrying me down the stairs. She set me carefully on the couch, sighing in relief. "There."

I grinned and patted her. "Thanks."

Her eyes sparked as she glanced at the clock, frowning. "It's late. Now I have to carry you back up the stairs." She mumbled.

Her father came out of her parents' bedroom and shook his head. "I'll get her."

I gasped as he lifted me, carrying me carefully up the steps and setting me on Amelia's bed. "Thank you, Mr. Pimentil."

"No problem, Anna."

He left the room, and I was soon changing into my pajamas after kicking Amelia out. She came back in when I called to her, bringing Mia with her. "Mia!" I gasped and my dog leaped up onto the bed, snuggling under the covers in the curve of my stomach and knees. "Good girl." I petted her head.

Amelia changed into her pajamas and laid beside me, covering up and turning the TV on. We watched Law and Order SVU for a while and we were in the middle of an episode when I managed to fall asleep, trying to escape the pain.
