"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS?!" I yell at Mike, tears streaming down my face, more threatening to spill.
He looks at me with his black hoodie covering most of his head. My hands tremble and the other girls stand behind me, speechless. Mike reaches out to touch my arm and I slap his face. "DONT, YOU DARE, EVEN THINK, OF TOUCHING ME!!!' I scream, my heart hurting. I look back at Aria and her face is blank, her mouth agape and her eyes wide. I gulp and turn back to look at the one person who was a better liar than me; Mike Montgomery.
"I TRUSTED YOU!!" I scream at him, sobbing. His blue eyes stare into mine and I see his mouth curl down into a frown.
"Mona..." he starts to say to me as my lips tremble. Tears gloss over his eyes.
"Just.. don't." I shake my head and walk away. I run all the way home from where I was, my brain so fuzzy I don't even remember where I was. I open the door with my key and my mom is sitting down at the kitchen table. Her head snaps when I slam the door and she takes in my appearance. Her eyes widen and she walks towards me.
"Mona, honey, what happened?" she asks me concerned. I tear up all over again and my lips wobble as my arms wrap around my mother's waist to hug her and I sob.
"I-it h-h-h-hurts m-mom." I barely manage to say as I cry. My chest feels like it's been stabbed. I don't even think I can breathe. Well, at least it feels that way. My mom tries to comfort me by saying "shhhhh" and stroking my hair, but it doesn't help. Finally, I mutter I just want to sleep, and she allows me to go upstairs and rest.
The sun shines through the window, waking me up. It takes me a few moments to realize it's morning, and for me to recall everything that has previously happened. I check my calendar on my wall and I roll my eyes; a school day. I don't want to go. I don't want to face the people, the crowds, the work. I don't want to talk to anyone. Lazily, I just walk to my closet and pull out some black jeans and a grey long sleeved shirt and shoes. I get dressed with depressing thoughts filling my mind. I don't even bother to eat breakfast or do my makeup; I just brush my hair and brush my teeth and leave.
When I arrive at school, I see Hanna and Aria talking outside, Aria looking depressed. I get out of my car and walk towards them.
"Oh, morning Mona." Aria says when I stand next to her. Hanna gives a weak smile.
"Am I the only one who didn't sleep last night?" I ask as I look at both of them. Hanna shakes her head and Aria says, "I was too scared to even go to my house. I just slept at Hanna's..." I nod.
"I would've invited you..."
"It's okay." I interrupt Hanna. She nods and I gulp as I start walking towards the entrance to the school.
The first three periods seem to drag by, my mind completely out of focus of what the teachers are trying to say to us. The bell rings for lunch and I anxiously run to the courtyard to eat.
I try to ignore the stares I get; people still can't seem to get over Dead Girl Who Came Back to Life In Rosewood #2 . Honestly, people are probably thinking it will become a trend. I wouldn't be surprised if it did. It did with dead cops.
I find a seat with the girls and I pick with my food, pushing it around my plate. I suddenly hear bustles of voices, from what I hear guys, come from one side of the courtyard. I look up and see the lacrosse team march along the pavement.
"Look away", Emily mumbles to Aria and I. My head nods but my eyes wander upwards again. I spot Mike in the crowd, despite him being one of the youngest also being the tallest. I gulp as he gazes the courtyard and meets my stare. Quickly, I glance down again.
"You were looking, weren't you?" Emily says to me. A sigh escapes me. Suddenly, I get up and storm off to the restroom, causing eyes to avert my way, including the team. And Mike's.
It will take time to heal. And that might be a while.
