Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Rosie

'WAKE UP! WAKE UP!' It was 6:30 am in the morning. Rosie had school to attend to. She groaned. She didn't want to get up. She must of fell asleep whilst reading as her book was planted on her face. Annoyed 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. Other than Jack she had no other friends.

She slowly got ready. Still half asleep she made her way slowly down 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 who was fatally shot after accidental run in with a gang in gang wars confirmed to be alive' and beneath was a picture of the 17 year old. Confused and still sleepy 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 helplessly 'we have to help him' Josie exclaimed. Rosie could do nothing but nod her head.

She didn't attend college that day.

Blade

Blade awoke in a hospital with the bleeping of machines surrounding him. His left shoulder was sore. He looked down and saw the bullet hole. Then he realised. Luciano. That bastard murderer. 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 stared 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 I ask you some questions' Blade knew he had no choice but to say yes in this matter. 'Very well,' the nurse chuckled to herself as if she had accomplished something '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. She was pointing at the scars. Blade went silent and tucked his arm beneath the sheets. 'Ahh I see sorry' Natalia apologised. Blade shrugged but still stayed silent . 'Do you have any family or friends around?' Blade was still silent. He didn't want to talk anymore . Natalia sighed. 'It is ok I know, I will leave you alone for a while as I can see you are still recovering' Natalia sympathetically said. Blade uncomfortably smiled at her but still stayed silent. She smiled back and left.
