Cassie lay on the ground, her eyes up towards the sky. Staring blankly ahead, unreadible, she was not even moving, almost looked as if she was dead. But that was only her wish...

Sweetie sttod tied to a nearby try, the fall leaves dancing about the black horse's elegant bodice.

She let out a breath and felt her cheeks turn warm, a single tear falling down into the chrisp fall leaves.

{Male PLEASE!}

Tyler trekked through the barn. He didn't know what he was doing exactly, oh wait, he did. To get away from that dreaded english lesson. He wondered how Carly and Scott were managing, since they weren't brave enough to skip. He came across a girl, lying on the grass and a horse tied to a tree. The girl wasn't moving. Was she dead?

"Hey!" he yelled running over after a moment of stunned shock. He'd never seen someone dead before and the girl was rather pretty. "Are you alright?" meaningless words if she really was dead.

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Cassie's doe eyes darted towards the boy. However she did not sit up only lay in the leaves, the cleaness of it all. Her brown hair entertwining with the orange fall leaves of the season. She felt another tear slide down her cheek bone. She took a deep breath before answering, Yes? she asked, the feeling racking her body, she wanted to shake, to cry, to call out, to plead for mercy from the heavens, how could they that she trusted leave her, here, now...

But most of all...

Leave her alone...

[[x] Jessie [x]]

So she was a alive but she seemed well...sad. Tyler frowned, was her 'yes' the answer to his question or a question to his hey'. "You're crying? Why?" he dug through his pocket to see if he could find any tissues. Ah yes, he brought out the packet, wasn't his mother great for making him remember them each day? "Come on, sit up now. Your life'll waste away if you just lie there, and then you won't do anything worthwhile."

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Cassie sat up quickly and took the tissue from the boy, she wiped her face off and pulled the tissue away, black smudges lined it, great, my makeup... She began to luahg softly and then got louder, almost hysterical, Waste my life away?! Good one, except for the fact that I don't have one! Cassie looked at the ground, she had lost a lot this summer and it hurt so much.

[[x] Jessie [x]]

Tyler raised an eyebrow, skeptical, "Everybody has a life. What on earth makes you think that you don't? I used to think that I didn't have one either, until I met my two friends." He grinned at her, "I guess that is what friends are for, isn't it? I'll be your friend, because nobody deserves to think like that." He handed her another tissue, "Just in case. Anyway, you have your horse here, don't you? I bet she is your friend and loves you because you look ater her." He stood and offered a hand, "Up you get, no more lying on the ground, you'll get your clothes dirty."

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Lucky you. sighed Cassie the smile instantly fading from her face. I've lost my only friend in this world. Nothing like watching your mom die, helpless to do anything, the doctor says I'm lucky... she paused letting the tears fall again, But I don't believe that. and she didn't, why shouldshe, her mom was the only one she could talk to and she was gone now, hrdad was an alcholic with a bad temper, she tried to advoid him as much as she could, it was easier that way...

She seized the small tissue and wiped her face again, she had to be strong, because there was no one there to protect her now. Then she gazed dizzily at Tyler, he was really tall! She took his hand and was amazed at how easily he lifted her body up to stable ground, I guess you're right, I'd like a friend. she forced a smile, that was cheesey...
she thought to herself, but Sweetie interupted his reply with a loud nicker.

The black mare stomped her leg definately at a fly, as if to ask if they were done speaking for she was bored.

[[x] Jessie [x]]

Tyler laughed at the mare's reaction, "It looks like your horse here is impatient to go home. I'm sorry to hear about your friend," he gaze softened, "It msutve been hard, but I bet your friend wouldn't want you wasting your life again." He handed her the packet of tissues, "Keep them, you are going to need it more than I will at the moment."

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Cassie nodded and turned away, but only for a second, she didn't even know this kids name, how rude, and she turned again, Cassie she held out her hand in a friendly guesture. The wind blew her brown curls around as Sweetie leaned down a long black mane falling down her neck as she lazily ate some grass.

[[x] Jessie [x]]

Tyler took the hand and shook it, "I'm Tyler." He released her hand a smiled then checked his watch, he was going to be late for the next period! "Well Cassie, I have to get back to school, I was skipping english," he grinned, "See you and your horse around. Ah, do you go to Avalon High?"

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Skipping school are we? she teased slightly, Me to, well actually, I kinda ran out of class in a pit of dispair crying my eyes out and didn't come back, and I don't think I will. School sucks. Why would you wanna go back? she asked, so waht she lft school property, this should impress dad...hopefully he'll be sober she thought to herself suddenly fearing punishment...

[[x] Jessie [x]]

Tyler was a bit confused, well, not really, "You should come back, it'll be fun seeing you around school. I'll introduce you to Scott and Carly. I don't go back to school because of the subjects, it is because I see my friends there and they make the subjects fun. Except english of course," he grinned.

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Cassie smiled, hiding everything, she was complicated, and she guessed it was confusing to some. She took her horses reins and jumped up onto Sweetie's back, she had no saddle, because she liked it better galloping through the country side, racing the wind. You want a ride back? To the barn I mean so I can put her up and then head back to school.

[[x] Jessie [x]]

Tyler shrugged, "Never been on a horse, but I'll come anyway. She looks like a nice horse, so I'll trust her." He climbed warily onto the mare's back. "So you are coming back to school?" he asked, hopeful.

[[R][ø][x][¥]]

Cassie smiled looking back at Tyler, I guess I will. then she turned back forward and gripped the reins, Hold on. she cautioned to Tyler, those words were forein to her now, and she fought the bile that rose in her throat, Hold on Cassie! and then the shattering of glass, all to painful, all to sad. She blinked blankly arousing herself back to life, she gave a kiss and they were off into a gallop, running away from everything, all the pain trailing behind, nothing could catch her, for she was flying...
