Accross Town

Across Town at the same time

Haley Bailey was having probably the worst time of her life. All in all, she failed to see how it would ever get any better.

Her Mom was dead from a car crash. Her father was a deadbeat (though this wasn't new), and now her so called "family" had abandoned her and her sister.

One would think that after a major tragedy, a family would come together and be there for one another. If only.

Instead she got backstabbing, and who she once thought were close family members, we’re now refusing to send help, saying between insurance and Haley's own abilities, it wasn't needed.

The Bastards.

Now here she was, and a high school senior who should be thinking about college, now having to support herself and her sister, all on her own. She was also now isolated from her friends, barely paying attention to drama club, everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

Haley pressed her fingers to her temples. Sometimes she wished she wished she could make everything stop, make evrything freeze in place.

Elsewhere

Vivian Bailey was absolutely miserable.

Her Mom was dead. Her Dad... well they didn't talk about him. Her sister, was low key panicking and isolating herself. Not that she herslef want doing that too.

Everything was horrible.

"Vivian, is everything O.K," a voice asked.

Vivian looked up to see her friend Jane Dawkins looking at her. Jane was a brown eyed, slim brunette, with a diamond snapped face that if Vivian was being honest, hid a fierce personality that would rob anyone who wasn't paying attention blind.

"No Jane... everything is fine," Vivian grumbled.

Jane looked at her freind for a bit. " Your lying."

"So what if I am," Vivian snapped back.

"I'm your freind," Jane deadpanned.

Vivian scoffed. "For like... three months."

"That still makes me your freind. I helped you in the immediate after aftermath..."

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know," Vivan exclaimed, waving Jane off before exhaling loudly. "It's just... it's still tough."

Jane stared at her freind for a bit, unblinkong. After a few minutes softly this, she declared, "I know what you need."

"What?" Vivian replied sarcastically.

Jane smirked. “Come with me, I know someone.”
