Why do you keep running away?

Tierra's pov-
I looked down at the half star tattoo that rested on my hand. The memories flooded back to me. I couldn't control it.



Flashback~
I watched as moving vans filled with boxes after boxes. My best friend Jaime Preciado is leaving today. He's moving to San Diego, California with his family and leaving me here. I sat down on the poarch remembering the day we first met, in kindergarten. Jaime was sitting on these steps crying when a couple of bullies beat him up making fun of his natural curly hair. I helped him that day. Ever since that day we've been inseperable. That's until today. We've known each other for 13 years and it's ashame it's already over. My best friends Jenna, Vic, Tony, Mike, Alex, Rian, Zack, Jack, and Kellin watched them move all of his belongings in the moving van. Soon they're all going to leave me here alone. Vic is moving to San Diego after Graduation with Mike. And so is Tony with his Mom. Alex, Jack, Rian and Zack are moving back to Baltimore to persue their dream in the music industry. And Kellin, oh Kellin, he's moving to Michigan with his Mom and siblings so he can go to College. And I'm here stuck in the humid weather and desert known as Phoenix, Arizona with my older brother Austin and my little adopted sister Tris. She's only 8 years old. We've gotten attached. We're very similar actually. Her long chocolate natural curley hair suited her very well along with her hazel eyes.

My attention turned back to Jaime. He looked in sorrow in our direction. I could tell he was about to cry. His eyes started to become red and puffy. Maybe he was crying in secret?

"It's time to leave Jaime baby!" his mother called from what use to be their home. He looked down as he began walking toward us. We were left speechless as one of our greatest friends was no longer going to be around to make us smile when we're down or to talk to when we need someone. We looked down at the sidewalk. "I'm going to miss you Jaime" I finally spoke up breaking the sad quietness. He looked up and wrapped his arms around my shoulder. I felt tears roll down my eyes and i felt his tears roll onto my back. "I love you no matter what" I said into his shoulder. "I love you too" he said before pulling away. He pulled a black sharpy pen from his back pocket drawing a half star on my hand and the other half on his.
"You are my best friend no matter what Tierra" he said as he put our stars together. I smiled hugging him. "You're mine too" i said with more tears ruining my make up. He hugged the others as they began to look gloomy as if a dark cloud just came over them when it was a happy day. "Ok Jaime, we have to go now" His mom said putting the last of her things in their truck. I gave Jaime one last hug good bye. He got in his truck rolling down the window and waving at us. We waved until we could no longer see him anymore.

Everyone went home trying to calm down and recollect ourselves after Jaime moved.

I sat on my bed crying my tears out while listening to music.
"Teeya?" I heard a little knock on my door. It was Tris. "Yeah?" i asked quickly wiping my tears. "Are you ok?"

I cried into my pillow. I heard the door knob click open. She walked in sitting on the edge of my bed. "Sis" her soft voice quivered removing the pillow put to my face. "Are you ok?" Her tiny arms wrapped around me. "I know Hime, meant alot to you, I love Jaime too, but friends come and go, don't be sad, mom want you to come down for dinner" She said hugging me. I nodded. Even though she was only 8 years old she was wise for her age. She got up and grabbed my hand leading me down to the kitchen. I took my usual seat across mom. It was only Austin, Tris, Mom, and I here for dinner. Dad was at work. I began to take a bite of my salad. The door flew open as it slammed to the wall putting a crack throught it. We jumped quickly looking at the door. Oh no. He was drunk. "What the fuck are you doing?" His voice slurred holding a Jack Daniels bottle in hand with his suitcase in the other. "Go upstairs and go to sleep you're drunk" my mom demanded. "NO! You're always bossing me around I'm not listening to you you slut" he shouted throwing his suitcase on the floor. My mom got up from the table marching to dad. "Don't come near me!" he slurred. She grabbed his hand. With one swift move. He hit her in the head with the Jack Daniels bottle. My mom fell to the floor. We all stood up. Austin first, he ran checking on mom. Tris was crying. "Get off of her!" my dad shouted slapping Austin. He fell back in shock. "Call- the- the- po- police" my mom managed to choke out with blood running from her head. I ran to the phone. "Don't pick up that fucking phone!" my dad screamed. I turned around to see him holding his pistol. I forgot he carried one around in his bag. My mom crawled desperately to the door. She managed to get up. "Tris go to my room!" i shouted. She sat in the corner nodding. She got up and ran upstairs. My mom stood up grabbing a large rock. I dialed 911. It went through. My mom aimed for my dad. Austin and I froze. We couldn't do anything. "Kids run!" she screamed. She threw the rock. It hit his shoulder. "You bitch!" my dad screamed. She threw another. The shot went off. My ear rang. I opened my eyes. She was bleeding. He shot her. I covered my mouth. "Miss! Miss! Is everything ok?" the 911 operator screamed through the phone as I dropped it. "Mom! MOM!" Austin screamed. He fell to her side. "See what you fucking did!?!!!" Austin cried holding her head. I looked at my dad. He was in shock holding the gun. I ran to her. "Mommy!" I screamed. Her body lifeless. The bullet in her shoulder. "I love you guys, take care of each other and your friends for me" she said. Her eyes closed. "NOOO!!" i screamed. "I can't believe it" my dad gulped. "Honey! Honey!" he shouted running to my mom. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to" he cried holding her. "Please please please!" he begged. "It's all my fault" he cried. His hands grabbed the pistol holding it in his mouth. "It's all my fault" "no-" me and Austin pleaded. blood splattered everywhere as the gun went off. He shot himself. Both my parents. Dead.

Notes

Hi guys, so I'm just going to get to the point. I restarted my whole story and put new characters in. I don't want to continue the other one. Just because it wasn't descriptive and not that interesting. And I wanted to make it exciting for you. So I decided to restart it. I put a new plot in also. I made this story a little longer than the other one and I was losing Votes and subscribers. So I really hope you like this one!!! :D
