The Escape

Chapter 4: Messageing

When I finally got home I just kind of slugged myself up to my room, because I wasn't feeling it at the moment. I plugged up my phone so I could check the updates. I went to take a shower to give my phone time to charge. As soon as I got out and got ready I headed up stairs and grabbed my phone. My phone showed that I had a message from some number I didn't know. I pulled it up and this is what I read.

"Hey Emily it's Chandler, I got your number from your friend Toni. I wanted to say I'm really sorry for not sticking up for you back at school. I don't even know why I didn't. It's just at school and when I'm around my friends I'm different. I knew I should have said something and I'm really sorry I didn't. I still really want you to come over tomorrow and check out my work, because I need your opinion. If you can or want to can you please text me back"

At first I didn't know what to do, because my mind was running wild and I was thinking way to much. About a few minutes later I grabbed my phone and started to text him back

Me: Hey Chandler
At first I didn't know what to say so that was all I could say. I waited for about thirty minutes before I got a response from him
Chandler: Hey Emily. Thank you for texting me back
Me: You're welcome.
Again being my stupid self I couldn't think of more stuff to say.

Chandler: Are you mad at me?
Me: No I'm not mad. I guess I was just disappointed
Chandler: Yeah I understand and I'm really sorry
Me: It's okay
Chandler: Are you still coming over tomorrow?
Me: Of course I am.
Chandler: Okay I'll send you my address so you can come over or I can pick you up.
Me: Umm can you pick me up please?
Why did I just ask that. I wasn't thinking and I can't take it back because it will make me look bad. Gosh I can be so stupid sometimes.

Chandler: Yeah of course. 45 windy lane, right?
Me: Yeah that's it
Chandler: Okay I'll see you tomorrow.
Me: Okay bye Chandler
Chandler: Goodnight Emily
So I know I shouldn't be excited but, I am. First, he's coming to pick me up at my house. Second, he just told me goodnight. Third, he actually said he was sorry about what happened.
I took out a piece of paper and started drawing because I needed to let my mind take over. Within a hour drawing I realized I was drawing hearts and then there was one heart in the corner that was dying. Why do I feel like my mind is telling me to just stop with life. It's probably nothing and it's just my mind being dark and lonely.
I started getting ready for bed because I wanted to actually be well rested for when he comes and gets me tomorrow.

MIDNIGHT
Me: Hi Chandler
Michael: Are you ready to go?
Me: Yeah
We walked to his car and he opened the door for me and I got in we drove for awhile and we passed his house

Me: Chandler you realize we just passed your house, right?
Chandler: Yeah. Now be quiet.
I was really confused on what was happening but I kept quiet. Chandler drove into the woods and by his this time it was pretty dark outside. I couldn't keep quiet anymore because I was starting to get kind of scared

Me: Chandler what are we doing?
Chandler: Get out
I got out of the car and stood there while Chandler got out too. He stood there for a few minutes and then said sorry and then shot me
I woke up in a panic and sweat surrounding me. Why did I have that dream? Now I'm not so sure about going tomorrow but, I don't want to seem rude. I guess I'll just head back to bed.
