Painful halloween

Painful Halloween- chapter 13

I wake up in my bed with a cold cloth over my wound. I still feel uneasy but I still make my way downstairs as I hear familiar voices talking.

My mom sees me and rushes over٫ "are you okay darling!?"

I didn't know how to answer her٫ but I just stuck with the I'm okay. Than I see Zuri walking over٫ "you sure?"

I look up in her eyes and couldn't help but fall in her warm arms. I remain quiet as Zuri brings me to my couch. She gets a bandage and comes back to me٫ as she positions it on my wound.

I feel safe with her forgetting about Alexa. I fall into her arms again when she finishes and I lightly start to drift to sleep.

************

I awake in Zuri's arms feeling much better. Zuri seems to have fallen asleep too. I look at the clock and realize that it's a new day.

I've also just slept with Zuri٫ and she's stayed here for the night for the first time. I start to panic thinking everything is my fault and maybe she's only here right now because of me.

But than Zuri wakes up٫ gets on her feet and calmly hugs me into a more steady stage. I lean into her hug and tell her that we might be late for school.

"That's ok. Take your time to get ready and I'll wait here." Zuri pulls back from the hug but I hold her tighter. I didn't want to let go yet.

"What about you Zuri? you can borrow an outfit of mine-" I suggest. She agrees and we both head to my room.

We get ready and leave the house. We make a quick stop by Zuri's house to pick up her bag and than we enter the school late.

We both get a late slip and head to class. As soon as Alexa saw me she gave me 'the eye'. I felt threatened again and I hold Zuri's arm for comfort.

We quietly walk over to our desks and sit down together. I couldn't focus on a single thing the teacher said and for many reasons.

I kept catching Alexa giving me the death stare٫ I kept thinking about what had been happening in my life right now and the changes to myself٫ and with every tick of the clock I got more and more scared.

Recess is making it's way around the corner and when we're outside I can already tell that Alexa is going to talk with us and I'm scared she'll hit me.

I hold Zuri's hand tight and eventually٫ lunch time came. But instead of anyone making a scene٫ we just sat in silence٫ we all ate without saying a word.

It was kind of awkward but it was better than anyone yelling. But maybe she's waiting to yell at me outside.

I just felt the negative energy and hatred aura coming off Alexa. Than the bell rang for recess٫ and I got really worried.

I walked outside gripping Zuri's hand so tight that I'm almost hurting her٫ I couldn't let go though. When we made it outside Alexa and Zoe just walked across the field avoiding me and Zuri.

They went to talk to each other far from me and Zuri. It was a relief to know that Alexa was far away. Maybe her parents found out about it and had a talk with her.

What if Zuri threatened her to stay away from me for me. I got lost in my thoughts٫ and realize Zuri leading me to sit down at a bench and we pretty much sat in a comfortable silence together.

I looked around and saw Alexa looking at me in a threatening way again٫ then her mouth twitched into a grin. I got even more scared than before.

What if she's planning to beat me up when I'm alone. Maybe she'll make a scene. What if she's just waiting 'til I calm down and than beats me out of no where.

I start to panic as I listen to my non-controlable thoughts. Zuri gets up٫ gets me up and hugs me. She knows when I panic.

"It's going to be okay Liea. Alexa won't hurt you." Zuri is so calm around me. I let my muscle's relax as they lay in her comforting arms. We stay like this until the bell rings.

We walk to our line holding hands and keep holding hands whenever we can because the safe feeling relaxes me.
