Lurking In The Shadows

Chapter 15

Spring break is over, and school is back in session, and I got to say I never missed this place. I'm still working at the diner, but my shift has changed. When I walked to my locker, I see Jake standing there.

I avoided him and tried to open my locker, but he closed it in my face. This motherfuc- "Can I please talk to you". I rolled my eyes. "Let's get this over with". I told him with an empty look. "I wanted to tell you about me and Abby" I raised my hand to stop him before he could finish.

"To be honest Jake I could care less. You knew that I liked you and you went and did what you did. You don't have to explain yourself to me it's your life. Plus, I have a bigger fish to catch, and I can't handle any distractions. So goodbye and never speak to me again".

With that I pushed him so hard that he fell flat on his butt. I opened my locker and took out the book I needed. When I turned around everyone was looking at us and Jake was still on the floor. He looked hurt but it doesn't really matter to me. I stepped over him and headed straight to my class.

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

The school day sucked. I avoided everybody. Even though I know it's not their faults, I would rather not socialize with them at all. School ended, thank God and I headed straight to work. My job was not far from my school, so I walked over there.

When I entered the place was very busy. So, I just went and changed my clothes and get straight to work. I was serving, whipping tables and also trying not to curse at the mean customers. When I'm finished, I was exhausted.

When my shift was over, I call my mom to come and pick me up. She arrived a few minutes later and she took me home. When we got there, I realized that Jordan wasn't there. Well that strange normally he would be here by now. I just headed straight to my room.

I took a shower and got dressed and headed downstairs. Just then I saw a note on the table. It was from my mom telling me she needed a few things from the supermarket. Thats strange. For one, we just left town she could have stop then. Two, I didn't hear the car leaving. And three, this isn't even my mom's handwriting.

I suddenly felt a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something is wrong I just know it. I rushed upstairs for my phone and tried to call her, but it went straight to voice mail. Now I definitely know that something is wrong. Just then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

When I face the person, it was Louise. "Your mom is in trouble." well isn't that obvious. Before I could even say anything, the door opened, and she disappeared. I saw Jordan walkthrough the door. "What did you do to my mother you son of a bitch!" I screamed at him. He just smirked. I saw he reached in his back pocket and pull out my little dairy.

"I noticed that you have been watching me a lot recently, something you didn't normally do. So, then I started snooping around your room and I found this." He said shaking the diary in his hand. How did he even know about that. I stood there silently while he continued speaking.

"I've got to say, I'm impressed. But the million-dollar question of the day is how did you get this information?" I didn't reply, instead I just glared at him. "Oh, being quiet, are we? Well then let's see how your mother would react". He then took out his phone and showed me a video of my mother lying on the floor unconscious.

"Mom!" I screamed out. This asshole has some nerve. "How could you do this to her. She always defends you. She even destroyed our family for you." he just laughed. "I didnt ask her to now did I".

I glared at him. He just smirked again. "But don't worry I won't kill her. Not yet at least". He looked calm and it was kind of scary. He spoke up once more.
"But my focus now is getting rid of you".

Just then I felt a sting on the side of my neck. My vision suddenly became blurry and I fell to the floor. I tried to see the person who has injected me but I couldn't due to my blurred vision.

Before I was unconscious I heard a very familiar voice "This is what you deserve after what you have done today". Oh my god.

Just then everything went black...
