I back away from the thugs who look like they just got out a boxing ring and won. I hit something that didn't feel like a wall. It was another thug. I spin around to collide with a hard fat fist. I could feel blood running down my face from my eyebrow. I couldn't see anything. Before I could react I feel someone kicking my ribs and that brought me to the ground. I started to feel a heap of pain everywhere. It got to much and I blacked out.

Phillip's POV

I follow Iris outside and watch her getting beat up. Then I realize, in order to get her to notice me I need to do something with her. I go up to the thugs and scare them away. I see Iris' limp body on the floor and I carefully picked her up and ran to the hospital. When I came to the hospital, the people there could see she was one of the 'freaks' and declined helping her. I ran back to the circus and lay her on a bunch of hay bales and wait til she wakes up. At this point it's been after the next show and it's about 11:35pm and she still hasn't woken up. Everyone's is here including Charity, Helen and Caroline. I could of sworne I saw her chest stop moving once or twice but I ignore it. That is until P.T saw too and told every one.

She's Dead

Iris' POV

All I can see is black. I can hear others around me and I think of Phillip he was the only one who saw I where I was going. The black changes to a white color and now i'm seeing everyone but I get the feeling they think i'm still unconscious. I try so hard to open my eyes but I can't, I use all my strength to keep breathing. I tell myself that I want to live. I finally manage to open my eyes and I see P.T looking over me and say " she's dead" with a wink. I laugh which gets everyones attention. Phillip punches P.T lightly on the shoulder for tricking them. I have everyone hug me where it dosen't hurt. Well everyone but Phillip. I still don't trust him. Even though he kinda just saved my life. I'm just glad i'm alive, speaking of which

"hey how did the second show go?" I ask since they sang come alive.

"pretty well for a dying girl backstage" Phillip answers with a chuckle. No one else was laughing.

"sorry wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the people who were in the show Richy Boy" I say with a smirk and that time everyone laughed.

Phillip makes his way home but before he could I shout out "Hey Phillip, Thanks" with a smile.
