heartcrossed

9.

My heart isn't beating anymore. I can't believe the figure standing right in front of me. Right here, right now, I wish I was never born or that I was dead. Grayson is right beside him and waving at me with this soft smile that normally would be melting my heart. But right now? I can't even feel my legs and I feel like I'm suffocating, like I'm lost in the open space without oxygen. The view of them both laughing together makes me feel sick to my stomach. They start walking towards Amber and I and that's when I start panicking on the inside. I'm trying to move, but my feet won't cooperate. I finally manage to turn around and Amber looks at me with a worried look as she sees my face. Adrenaline kicks in thankfully as I pass by her, pushing her shoulder, and start running as fast as I humanly can. I've never run like this ever before. I'm going so fast, I can't even see anything and it's like I'm not even touching the ground. I burst the doors open with unreal strength and get out of the school. I never stop running and I never look back. I cross a small park within seconds and enter the woods. I don't know where the fuck I'm going but I'm going there. I follow a path still running as fast as earlier and I make sure no one's following me. I just keep running until I find a glade and a pond with a water that's so clear that I can see the bottom of it. I slow the pace and walk towards the edge of the pond. Panting, I fall on my knees weakly and dive my hands in the water before splashing it in my burning face. My head is pounding and I feel dizzy. I can barely keep my eyes open now. I feel myself fall on the cold soft ground and soon I'm knocked out.

GRAYSON'S P.O.V

I wave and smile at Kendall but she just stares at me and Riley with a face I can't even describe. Shit.. Did I do something wrong? Is it because of the kiss? I'm wondering what's wrong so I just start walking towards her and Amber. She slowly turns around and I can see a worried look appear on Amber's face as the exchange looks. She just glances at me and I'm starting to get worried so I speed up but Kendall starts to run so fucking fast like her life depends on it. She storms out of the school in a matter of seconds bursting the door open. What the hell is wrong with her? I start running after her but by the time I get outside she's already gone. What the actual fuck? Ethan catches up beside me and just looks at me, then the empty parking lot with a questioning face. I turn around and Riley is gone too. What is going on? The bell rings.

''What the hell just happened?'' Ethan says, whispering the three last words.

''I have no idea.''

''Well, let's go find her. Something's obviously going on.'' He says gazing at the parking lot.

I just nod and make my way to my car with Ethan following behind before getting in and driving off.

We need to find her.

KENDALL'S P.O.V.

I'm awaken by the loud sound of the cold wind in the trees. I slowly open my eyes and notice that it's really dark because of the heavy clouds covering the sky. I bring my hand to my pocket and pull out my phone to check the time but I'm out of power. Shit. My head hurts like hell right now and my hands are still shaky. All the memories of what happened are rushing back through my head and that's when I realize I'm basically in the woods, alone, in the middle of no fucking where. I slowly get up and try to see correctly since my vision is blurry from waking up. The sky is kind of an orange-ish color because it's cloudy, the air is humid and the ground is really cold. I examine my arms which are covered in damp earth, dry grass pieces and unknown residues. I bring my hand to my hair and realize how tangled it is. There is also some nasty stuff stuck in it. I feel so disgusting. Just great. I start to slowly walk towards the path I went by earlier. I feel the wind agressively brushing against my face and this is when I realize how vulnerable I am right now. Goosebumps arise upon my skin at this thought. I'm freezing and I can barely walk because my legs are too weak. My eyes are watery because of the wind so I can't even see where I'm walking even with the light of the day. It's all blurry. I suddenly step on a rock and roughly fall on the ground, hitting my jaw on the ground. I scream as the pain strikes through my cheek and temple like a million needles are piercing through the skin of my face. I roll on my back, moaning, still on the ground as I feel a hot liquid drip on the side of my face. I bring my fingers up to it and look at them only to see the scarlet red substance I was expecting, blood.
