Why didn't she listen to her mother that day? If she stopped, she would still be alive.

Annie had woken up in the hospital, she did not really know what had happened, her mind was vague. During the accident, the blonde's head had violently hit the hood and suffered a concussion. The doctors had told him to rest during the long holidays. A few hours later, Annie had learned of her mother's death, she had been killed instantly during the accident. The police had investigated and quickly closed the file, the accident was caused by another car whose driver had lost control during heavy rains. Annie reacted too late when she saw her.

She was out 10 days after the accident and her mother had been buried in the cemetery, many people had been present, porches of the family or friends. Annie's father had ignored him all along the ceremony, he blamed him for the death of his mother, his own mother. Annie did not believe his ears when he had shouted at him away from the others, he told her it was his fault, that it was not his daughter, that she was nothing in his eyes that she should have died instead of her.

Since the death of his mother, his father had suddenly sank in alcohol and cigarettes. They had moved to an apartment in a rather dark and gloomy place where strange people lived. The walls felt like paper because the neighbors were very noisy. Not a day without screaming or yelling, glasses crashing against the walls, not a moment of silence, a moment of calm or respite, none of that. The word "silence" did not exist for them.

Today, the blonde wanted to get out, she wanted to discover the new city where she lived. Annie had taken a bus to downtown, there were a lot of people, at the same time when it was 3 days before the return, families rushed to buy the latest school supplies. It was a hot and busy day for the walkers, Annie walked slowly looking at the shops around her, she was following the concrete driveway, without a word to watch young children hold their parents' hands, while laughing and smiling. Annie was 17 years old, she was a big girl, but in reality she was weak and lost. The blonde walked to a small lane to get to her bus stop faster, when she arrived, she could see a strange man who began to follow her, the blonde did not look away and continued to walk quickly. She felt a violent grip on her shoulder before throwing it against the wall, a hand resting on her mouth preventing her from screaming. The man posed twin on his sides and caressed her as Annie struggled with all her strength, but he was much more opposed. She could not do anything, she was paralyzed, her brain was telling her to run away, scream, run but her legs refused to move. She could just feel her wandering hands on her body. Nobody could hear it, when someone came running to her. A young boy of his age violently grabs the shoulders of his attacker and pulled him out of his victim before putting himself between them.

- You have a problem ? the man asked, getting up. Get out!
- What did you do to her? said the teenager.
- Are you watching? Go away !
- It's not your sexual object, if you don't leave in the seconds that follow I call the police, you understand?
- Fuck you asshole! spat the individual, starting on the opposite side.

The young man turned to Annie, who was staring straight at him, paralyzed by what had happened. The blond approached with caution, extending a reassuring hand to her.

- It's over he smiles. My name is Armin, and you?
- Annie.
