Home POV:
"Jean!"
Her mom shouted from downstairs,
"JEAN!"
she shouted again, louder this time,
With repeated hollow sounds,
She went upstairs, to an empty room,
The wind rustling through the open window,
Shocked and scared,
Weak hearted, a heart attack, a loud thud,
Jean was now an orphan.

Forest POV:
"Kelly where are you?!"
Weeped Jean.
Whimpers were slowly starting to surround her,
She was scared and frightened for her life,
But determined to leave "their" forest together.

She headed in the direction of the nearest cry,
To face a police officer arresting her bestfriend.
She knew she had to save Kelly, but how?
The officer had a gun.
She could only hope for Kelly to not give any information about the smuggles and pray that nothing happens to her mother.

Kelly tried to break free, using her pocket knife,
The officier shot her in self defence.

She could now only hide under the bushes, as silent tears fell across, ignorant to knowing what had happened at home.

Hearing the officer leave,
Leaving the hideout,
Finding blood marks on the ground,
She fell on her knees, bawling her eyes to silence,
Knowing she lost the only person who ever reciprocated her love.

Deciding to go home, she got herself up to face their parents.

Road POV:
Walking down with a face smeared with blood, mud and tears, trying to hide away into mufflers and hoodies.

"Jean!"
"Jean! Wait! Stop!"
"Your mom!"
"She died of a heart attack! Jean!"

As the words entered her ears,
She realised what all happened,
Because of her addiction to dopamine.
Both from drugs and Kelly.

She ran.
Trying to leave all sadness, pain, fear, shock and responsibilities behind.
She ran all the way to the edge of a cliff.

Hearing sirens she knew the police was looking for her.
Assuming they found traces of both drugs and her on Kelly, she had to make a choice between death and jail.

Without hesitation,
She threw herself off,
With a smile she screamed,
"Use me like your drugs Kelly"
"I KNOW LOVE YOU"
Falling on rocks,
A thumping crack.

Lay there a lifeless, unrecognisable, corpse of a girl who was once the prettiest and smartest of Lawnorth, a town down the base of mountain ranges.
