Angels Without Hearts

Chapter 2

    Two monsters were fighting. They both had large bird like wings. My eyes looked up in the skies, watching them. They were fighting each other. One was trying to get me to safety. The other, was there to hurt me. Why were they fighting over me? Who were they? Soon as one started getting closer to me, I squeezed my eyes shut.

   My body shot up covered in sweat. Looking around, I was in my bed still. Taking a deep breath, that was the most intense dream I've had in a while. Glancing at my phone, it was 7:30. Oh shit, I slept in! I raced for the shower. Turning on the water and jumping right in. As I was trying to hurry up, my eyes went to check on my bruise Fredrick left on my arm. Depending on how bad it was, I may have to wear a half sleeve shirt till its gone. To my surprise, there was nothing there. My mind became perplexed. It was black and blue yesterday. Maybe he didn't grab me as hard as it looked? I hurried up and got out. Changed into some new clothes and headed out the door with my backpack on my shoulder. Soon as I was about to lock the door, I forgot my homework. Quickly rushing back up to my room, grabbing all my books. Then running back down to the door. This day was just getting better and better. After locking the door, my body relaxed a bit. Grabbing my phone out of my pocket, James hasnt texted me since last night. As I turned around, the creepy guy from yesterday was standing there. I was starled and dropped my books.

He raised his eyebrow at me. "Didn't mean to scare you. I saw you coming out of your house and thought maybe we could walk to school together." This wasn't creepy or anything. He was a total stranger. Maybe he was trying to make some new friends? I went to grab my papers, but he bent down and started picking them up. I quickly texted James.

Come to my road. Hurry.

    As it sent, I glanced up to see him creepily staring at me. "Who are you texting this early?" He curiously asked. My eyes studied his outfit. He had black shoes on, dark jeans. Black shirt with white long sleeves on. His hair was slicked back with gel. His face had a couple acne scars on it.

I grabbed my papers out of his hands and shoved them into my backpack. "My mom. She left for work early and wanted me to let her know when I left." He just nodded as his eyes went to the ground. Part of me felt like he didn't believe me. I went to move past him. But he blocked me from leaving. My heart dropped into my stomach. Why was he being so weird? He stared at me for a few more seconds before smirking, "Ladies first." He held out his arm and moved out of the way. I started walking in front of him. My phone buzzed. I glanced at it quickly.

What's going on? Where are you?

I couldn't answer back. If he saw who I was messaging, he would instantly know that I was lying. This guy gave me some serious bad vibes. "What's your name by the way?" He walked very close to my side. I didn't know whether to give him a fake name or a real one. I'm sure he would eventually find out since we go to the same school. "Jessica." I answered.

He put his arm over my shoulder. "David." I shoved his arm off me. "Okay. Guess you're not ready for that." He said annoyed.

    We were halfway to the school. My phone was going off like crazy in my pocket. I wish he would just find me. "Want to go out sometime?" David asked, not even looking at me.

I stopped and faced him. "What is your problem?" He looked confused.
"Just because you're new and I'm the first girl you've met. Doesn't mean that I want to date you. There are plenty of other girls at the school." My eyes glared at him. I just got rid of my bastard ex boyfriend. I didn't want another one.

David crossed his arms. He seemed resentful about my words. "If you were my girl, you would show me some respect." He spoke in a low deep voice. I made a small annoyed sound. David's eyes lit up in anger from my reaction. Before he could say anything else, a hand touched my shoulder. James stood by my side. "Are you hitting on my girlfriend?" He asked in a resentful tone.
