Crazy in love (Kai Parker)

CHAPTER TWO

ALISON :

I spent the entire weekend in bed, watching movies and eating whatever junk food we had in our fridge. Ever since the party friday night, every part of my body is sore and my head is pounding like crazy. I still have that gap in my memory, I know something happened that night, I just don't remember what. I decided not to worry about that and just start a normal week.

Gosh I hate mondays. The only positive thing is that every monday, Uncle Ben gives me a ride to school. When I arrived downstairs the table was full of good stuff to eat and surprisingly, everybody was there ; Marissa, Ben and Aiden. You don't get that everyday. Usually it's just me and Marissa, the guys are already at work.

"Ready to leave?" Uncle Ben asked. "Yup, let me just grab my stuff."

As I said, Uncle Ben is my father's brother. He's the closest thing I have to a father but I never once called him 'dad'. He is a big doctor, a lot of people see him as a hero, and so do I. Without him, I can't imagine where my brother and I would be right now. He's quite known and truly respected in this town. So is my brother. Doctor and Officer Harper. I can't help but think that I'm just, me. Alison Harper, the girl who lost her parents without really knowing what happened to them.

"There you are!" I turned and saw my best friend in a cute little dress, as always. "Where have you been all weekend? You didn't answer any of my calls!" she yelled at me. "I'm sorry Lily, I felt really sick, but I'm all good now." I smiled.

Jackson and Brandon arrived and that's when I remebered what had happned with Jackson friday night. We didn't really talk about, I just didn't want to mess up our friendship.

When it was finally lunch time, we all gathered in the cafetaria. I noticed a new face, a few tables further. The guy had dark hair, dark eyes and seemed older than us. Quite creepy actually. He kept staring at our table and for some reason, I stared back because his face seemed so familiar.

"Who in the world is that?" Lily asked. I didn't answer, I just kept staring, like if I were hypnotised. "Back off hun, I spotted him first" Lily teased me. "Are you okay?" Jackson asked slowly. "I-I'm sorry, I just," I babbled "I know this guy, I just don't know from where." I said. "You do?" "Yeah," I said quietly. "I'll be right back."

With that being said, I stood up and went to sit right in front of the mystery guy. Something that I would normally never do but this was stronger than me. "Hi," I smiled. "I'm Alison" I said, waiting for the boy's name in return but all I got from him was an empty stare. Like I said, creepy. "Okay so, this must sound extremely bizarre but, is it possible that we've already met? I mean I know you're new here but-" "No." he cut me off. "We've never met now get up and go back to your friends." he said with a deep voice. I admit, I was chocked. I quickly stood up and ran back to my table.

"So?" Lily asked. "Did you get his number for your good old friend?" "That guy is a freak." I spat. "What happened?" "I was being completely polite and he just cut me off, like I'm some kind of toy!" I said angrily. I took a bite of my apple and looked back at the table where creepy guy was sitting but he had dissapered. Maybe it's for the best.

The next day was a fun day, or at least that's what Lily calls it. Every year, the school organizes a sort of show, where the students can go on stage and do their thing. Lily is the one putting everthing in place and she would literally kill me if I didn't help her.

"Hey!" she yelled. "Green shirt! What the hell are you doing? I already told you, you have to bring the drinks only ten minutes before the opening, otherwise they won't be fresh anymore! What kind of person needs to have that explained to them?" "Damn, I would not like to be in that guy's place" I laughed. She turned around with a desperate look on her face. "Ugh, nobody is capable of doing something right! I just want it to be perfect you know" she explained. "Anyways, I'm glad you could come" she smiled. "Did I have any choice?" I teased. "Nope" she insisted on the 'p'. "Could you grab that box for me? We gotta' bring it to the other room." "Sure"

"That bitch!" I turned around to see Lily in chock. "What's wrong?" I asked. "The new guy is here for what, one day? And slutty Mary has him already wrapped around her finger!" I turned around and saw Mary and the new guy by the lockers. She had her lips all over him and I couldn't help but feel bad for Lily.

Mary's the popular girl. She's rich, pretty and has all the boys she wants. You can see why that's a problem for Lily. Ever since first grade, these two have been in a competition. If one had a car, the other one had to have a better car, if one had a boyfriend, the other one had to have five boyfriends.

"Go get a room, we're working here!' Lily yelled. "What's wrong Jones? Jealous of my new toy?" she answered. Lily couldn't let that go without an argument but I must admit, I'm used to it.

While they were arguing about who's the prettiest, the new guy was watching them. His arms were crossed and he had this big smirk on his face. Was he amused by this? I kept staring at him with narrowed eyes, hoping he'd see me like this. He turned his head to me and kept his smirk on. With that, he brought his right hand up and waved at me. What a freak. I looked at him with disgust for not trying to help the two fighting girls right in front of him. I separated them and took Lily away from Mary. "Come on, let's go." I told her soflty as we took off.

I must admit, Lily did a pretty good job, this night was amazing. Everything was going for the best when suddenly, a guy rushed in the room with Mary in his arms, covered with blood.

"Help! Somebody help!" he yelled. We all rushed to them and saw Mary, her neck and stomach were covered with blood. "What happened?!" I asked in panic. "I-I don't know, I was walking outisde and I saw her laying on the floor. I panicked so I just brought her here. The blood, there was so much blood" he could barely speak. Everybody was running everywhere and in just a few minutes, my brother and all of his officers rushed in. "Get back, everybody get back! Paramedics are on their way".

When the paramedics finally arrived, they announced her dead, she had lost way too much blood and her throat was completely open. Everthing happened so fast, I just could not believe my eyes.

I was looking everywhere, someone suspect, someone unknown.

Then it hit me. The last person I had seen Mary with was the new guy. I looked everywhere for him but he was just not there. I finally saw him at the entrance, it was like if he was inspecting the entire place and once that was done, he turned his back and left. My anger got bigger and bigger so I decided to follow him. Right before getting in his car, I hit his back with every ounce of power I had, although he didn't really move.

"What the hell did you do to her?!" I yelled, tears running down my face. He turned slowly and that's when I realised he was way taller than me. "What's wrong, cupcake?" he asked as if nothing ever happened. "Why would you do that to her?" I cried. "Who? The blond? Oh, I didn't do anything" he smiled. "You're the last person who saw her alive and you expect me to believe that?" I asked, furious. "Correction," he said harshly "I went to the bathroom and when I came back, well, you know what happened" he explained. How could he not care? "And you were just going to leave, I mean you did seem pretty close with Mary, didn't you? So why run away?" His dark blue eyes stared at me in a way I can't discribe. He leaned closer to me and said quietly "That's none of your business." Without my knowing, I slapped his face while tears were still running down my face. He stayed like that for a few seconds and then looked me in the eyes. "You need to leave." he said "Right now."

I ran back inside and saw the doctors taking care of Mary's body. Everybody was in chock, nothing like this had ever happened before. I went directly to Aiden, relieved that he was okay. One of the officers brought me home and an investigation will start tomorrow.

How am I going to sleep tonight? What actually happened tonight? Who is that guy? Did he kill her or not? Why did he ran off like that? So many questions.

So many questions.
