Rosie
'WAKE UP! WAKE UP!' It was 6:30 am in the morning. Rosie had school to attend. She groaned. She must of fell asleep whilst reading. She scooped up the book and placed it on the table next to her and began to slowly make her way out of bed.
She didn't want to go to college.
She got ready. Still half asleep she made her way slowly to the kitchen where her mother was already up making breakfast. 'Hahaha I see you are finally up on time for once, Rosie' she jokingly joked. Rosie let out a soft sleepy chuckle.
'Oh goodness.. that's—' her mom exclaimed. Rosie looked over her shoulder; '17 year old shot after accidental run in with a gang in gang wars confirmed to have no family' and beneath was a picture of the 17 year old. Confused Rosie asked 'do you know him?' Her mother nodded her head and began to tear up 'yes, a close friend of mine used to look after him' 'I thought he was-' tears were now streaming across her face. Rosie leant in for a hug. Her mother fell into her arms and began to sob 'we have to help him' Rosie could do nothing but nod her head.
She didn't attend college that day.
Blade
Blade awoke in a hospital. His left shoulder was sore. He looked down and saw the bullet hole. Then he realised. Luciano. That bastard. But before rage could consume him a nurse walked in ,who looked to be in her late 20s with blonde hair in a messy bun and glasses, and sat down in the chair next to his bed. She started scribbling down. Confused Blade looked at her blankly. The nurse looked up 'Oh sorry I didn't mean to be rude you just looked annoyed then' 'is it ok if u ask you some questions' Blade knew he had no choice but to say yes in this matter. 'Very well,' the nurse chuckled to herself 'my name is Natalia, and your name is?'
'Blade'
'Right then Blade, is it ok for me to ask about what happened to your arm' she said whilst pointing to the scars on his arm. Blade went silent and tucked his arm beneath the sheets. 'Ahh I see sorry' Natalia apologised. Blade shrugged. 'Do you have any family or friends around?' Blade fell silent again. Natalia sighed. 'It ok I will leave you alone for a while as I can see you are still recovering' Natalia sympathetically said. Blade uncomfortably smiled at her. She smiled back and left.
