Part two: calm Mum down. I drove till I reached the beach. This beach unlike many other beaches around the world was surrounded by sandstone cliffs. When I went through my depression stage I would just stand on the edge and look down at the dark swirling ocean below not caring if the strong winds blew me off. That was before my accident. Now, the cliffs offer me peace. Nobody knows I come here and I am grateful for that. I stand a foot away from the edge not wanting to risk the edge crumbling and me falling to my death. That shows how much I had changed, how much the accident had changed me; Instead of standing as close as humanly possible to the edge without jumping, I was being cautious. I was letting my thoughts wander to how broken my family would have been when I was interrupted by no other than my mother herself. I sigh and hold the phone away from my ear as I answer it. “IVY BLACK! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!!” “Mum just…” “NO! DON’T YOU MUM ME! TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!” “Mum calm dow…” “DON’T YOU EVEN DARE TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU…” “MUUUUUUUMMM!” I screamed then continued quickly before she could interrupt “Just calm down I want to tell you the truth before you yell at me!” “You come home and then we can talk Ivy!” her voice laced with venom, Gulp! I was so dead. “Mum I’m not coming home till you give me a chance to explain myself!!” I tried to explain, before I was cut off again, “THE PRINCIPAL IS A VERY RESPECTABLE MAN AND ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT HE IS LYING!?” “No Mum he just hasn’t got the right story, please let me explain!” “WHEN YOUR FATHER GETS HOME…” But I shut off the call before she could tell me what she was going to do. Now I was going to be in more trouble! A text popped up on my screen, Uhhh Ivy? Wheres my car? It was from Chris, I giggled as I read it then thought of a great was to calm Mum down. I replied Umm I borrowed it. Can u do me a favour and calm Mum down enough so she will listen to my side of the stry plz? She was sure to listen to the perfect child in the family. Another text notification binged as I pressed send. It was from Ella, Girl you have to tell me everything of what happened when u went to the office! O God I knew she wouldn’t let this drop and I did need a place to stay tonight as Mum obviously wasn’t going to be calm enough to talk to me for a while. So I replied, On 1 condition, can I stay the night? She replied straight away, Duuhhh OF COURSE!! She texted me her address and I left for my first sleep over since primary school. I pulled up at her house and my mouth dropped open a little. It was huge and modern as! I lifted my hand to knock on the door, my right hand of course as my fingers were still very tender on my other hand, but before I rapped them on the door a body swung it open and collided with me. In slow motion I stumbled backwards, and my arse was heading for the ground again but before I hit the ground the bodies arms wrapped around me and then we were falling together. We rolled down the steps and ended up on the driveway gravel at the bottom. The person I had collided with looked down at me. It was Rylee. My surprised and apologetic face quickly turned into a scowl. He was lying on my ribs which were protesting loudly, his hard ab’s certainly had no cushioning to them. I also realised that he hadn’t got off me yet and was laying between my legs. My scowl deepened, Ella’s hysterical laughter reached our ears and I turned my face to meet her, “Shut up Ella!” I grumbled as I pushed on his chest to let me up. Realising he’s not moving I look at him and he’s staring down at me with amusement and curiosity sparkling in his eyes, “Do you mind? You’re crushing my ribs!” “OMG Rylee! Get off her I forgot you had broken ribs!” She cried rushing over to me and helping me up. “where are your crutches?! Did you walk here? Is that your car? I thought you didn’t have a car.” “My crutches are in my brother’s car I’m borrowing it.” I’ll get them for you!” I shook my head that I didn’t need them. We were interrupted when Rylee spoke up, “what sort of teenager doesn’t have a car?” He snorted. I replied “Oh, I have a Harley at home, but I have too many broken bones to ride it.” I answered simply. His jaw latterly dropped, “like a Harley, as in, a Harley Davison Motorcycle!?” he said shocked. I just smirked at him. Then I turned to Ella, she rolled her eyes and grabed my wrist “Come on! Let’s get this party started! You have to tell me everything which happened!” I sighed and let her drag me into the house
