Falling Star

Chapter 12: Winkie?

Emma's Pov

"I... I don't know"

Thats all I could remember when I was running home. How could he not know! Was this all a game to see if I would break? As I approached 'party street' I looked around. I didn't see anyone so I ran down the street. With every step my fear grew with in me. The fear that Chad would catch up with me. Hold me against my will, as he would try to give me a reason that even he couldn't understand or explain. As I make a sharp turn I  trip and fall. Giving the ground a hug as I scream.

Pain now soaring through my fore arms and knees. When I get up to inspect myself I noticed blood oozing from my right fore arm.

"Oh great! Now I have another thing to explain"

I quickly got out my first aid kit and put a bandage on my arm. I would have to clean it properly when I got home. Home my one safe haven. If only I wasn't so curious about the worlds beyond mine. Then it wouldn't have mattered what school I went to.

I look behind and no one is there. I guess Chad didn't follow me. What if he got lost. What if he jumps! It would it be my fault? I know I shouldn't really care, but I still have a conscience. As I approach my street I look for my phone. As usual it managed to have barried its self at the bottom of my backpack. I scroll through the numbers and find Chads. I stared at it. Debating whether I should make sure he was okay. I mean I did just leave him there. He had been drinking. It would be the responsible thing to do right?

I took a deep breath as I clicked on his number. A message box came up and I started to type.

To Chad

I'm almost home.
Did you find your way out?

E

Andd... send. I walk to my door way and take off my shoes. As I tiptoe to my room my phone dings.

"Damit"

Why couldn't he wait till I was in my room?? Just a few more steps then I'm safe. As I open my door it creeks. I hold my breath and wait for my dad to ask if some one was up. He must have been right out cause he made no sound. As I entered my room placed my backpack under my desk and placed my shoes beside my bookcase.

I got out my phone and stared the unopened message. Sure enough it was from Chad. What if he was lost would he want me to come and get him? What if it says he won't come out unless I'll be his friend. Or at least give him as chance. Oh I'm over reacting.

To E

Yes, I followed the path. Almost home.

Chad

Now that wasn't so bad. I turned my phone on silent and placed it on my dresser and got dressed for bed. I disinfected my arm and put a clean bandage on. As I was about to hop onto bed I saw my phone flashing. I quickly grab it and saw that I had a message. It was from Chad. What does he want now?

To E

Home in bed. Thanks for checking on me. I think someone was worried about me ;) Having second thoughts are we??

Chad

Second thoughts is he serious? I thought I made myself pretty clear. Whats with the winkie? Does he think this is a joke!

To Chad

Keep dreaming Chad! A Winkie! Really! Are you fully embracing your true idiot self!

E

I felt disgusted. Of all the people to send me a winkie I was hoping it wouldn't be from him. Why is he acting like a jerk? First he kissed my neck and now a Winkie! What the heck. I thought that stars only did that kind of stuff when they like each other. Haha thats impossible if Chad liked me he wouldn't have bullied me all these years. Right? My phone lit up again. I opened the message.

To E

You know you like it. Its getting late. See you soon. Night E ;)

Chad

Just when I thought he couldn't  get weirder. What did he mean by see you soon? I'm so confused!

"Ugh"

As I place my phone down. I get under the covers and shut my eyes. Hoping to let sleep take over me, that I'll  have a dreamless sleep. With recent events I've been having nightmares. I seem to wake up gasping for air. Tomorrows going to be a rough night. Ill need all the sleep I can get. Now that Tom caught me sneaking out without giving him a proper explaination he isn't going to let me get away without spilling the beans. I love that side of him he would be great at secuity detail. He knows all the right questions. Sometimes it gets really annoying. I still love him tho. I wonder what he will do when he finds out about whats happening at school. I have been think about that a lot.

Someday its going to be so bad that my professors are going to have no choice to tell my secret. Maybe they will understand why I didn't tell them. Why I couldn't glow. Why I gave up. I know that Tom will be devastated when he finds out. Its for there own good right? I mean Tom is trying to ace his grades to go to school with me. My folks are working there hardest to earn enough for tuition. Telling them now would just wreck the hardwork.

I only have a 2 months left before they tell us if we made it in Co-Op. I can hold out till then.

Can't I?
