Light up the Sky

After her best friend died, she blamed the one boy that changed the trio's life, the one who just returned, and the one to lift her spirits up

Prologue:

"I HATE YOU!" A small girl yelled over the roar of the pouring rain, her brown hair hung in her eyes as she stood in front of another girl around the same age, "All you ever did was cause us problems, so go away, don't come back." She wiped the tears pouring out of her watery silver eyes. Thankful for the rain, so he couldn't see her tears.

"Taya -its okay…" The girl hidden behind her strong willed friend spoke up softly, holding her red cheek from where the boy hit her. "Darren didn't mean to hit me… please don't make him go away too…"

"Lena." The boy hissed, amber eyes flared up in flames, "Taya, you want me gone? You're getting that wish, my family's moving." He yelled, before turning on his heels to run away.

Taya relaxed once he was gone and turned to her best friend, "Lena, don't ever be naïve like that, do you really think he didn't mean to hurt you? To hurt us?" She looked at Lena's pretty blue hued eyes and pulled the confused Greek girl into her arms. "It'll go back to Normal, back to how it was before that boy came here." The eleven year old girl smiled hopefully before rubbing her friend's throbbing cheek.

Lena smiled sorrowfully at the girl who protected her, back to the past… right?

Taya sat up, holding her head and trying to hold back the tears from that night. She looked at the picture on her nightstand, a piece was cut out but it showed two girls at the age of ten laughing. "Come in," She said softly as someone knocked lightly on the door.

"Taya…" A woman with wise blue eyes and brown hair cropped short sighed and sat down next to her daughter. Her line of vision fell on the same picture frame. "It's about Lena…" She had trouble finding the right words for her daughter's friend.

The seventeen year old shot out of her bed and looked at her mother incredulously, "What about her?!" She demanded an answer, but the look in her mother's eyes told her, nothing would be the same anymore.

"She was in an accident last night, she didn't make it," Marlene looked at Taya's face in shock and reached out to pull her daughter into a hug. Apparently Taya hadn't wanted comfort, seeing as she smacked her mother's hand away.

"Please leave me alone…" She said in barely a whisper of a tone. As soon as her mother left, she collapsed on her bed crying her self to sleep.
