Poison

Chapter 9

I walked into the bathroom to freshen my self up. I smelled like sex and looked like it too. Once out of the bathroom I turned towards the door and ran into someone's hard chest. I took a step back and to my displeasure, it was Harold again.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Out." I said as I pushed passed him.

"School isn't over. You haven't even had second period yet!" I turned around very annoyed already.

"I know that. I already missed first period, the bell for second is about to ring, I'm fucking sore, and I haven't had a break from everything in a long time." I said. Harry looked at me awkwardly like he didn't know what to do. He sighed and walked up to me. I didn't realize I had tears streaming down my face till he wiped them with his thumb. I cried so often nowadays it didn't even phase me.

"I'm fine." I said as I swatted his hand away.

"You don't look fine." He said as he took another step towards me.

"Stop pretending like you care!" I yelled. I wanted to be alone. I didn't want false comfort. In fact, false comfort was all I got t entire life. It infuriated me. Harry jumped when I shouted and motioned me to lower my voice as he looked around the hallway. He took his bottom lip between his teeth but not in lust. This time he was thinking. His eyes scanned the hallway before he dropped his head back and sighed in frustration. He went to his locker an got his things. He walked past me and grabbed my hand.

"Alright. Let's go." He said in a low voice. For some reason, I allowed him to lead out of the door. He towed me behind him as he walked up to an all black range rover. He opened the door quickly and helped me into the passengers seat. He closed the door and got into the drivers seat. He turned the car on and began driving. He kept his right hand on the steering wheel and the other out the window. He kept his head faced to the road in a failed attempt to keep me from noticing him glancing at me.

"You look tired. You should sleep." He said as he shifted in his seat. It seemed as if the words made him physically uncomfortable to say. I shrugged my shoulder and brought the seat down. I didn't feel tired but I shit my eyes anyway. Eventually sleep came to me and I started to dream...

I was in my room in the attic with Chapin. I was brushing her hair when I felt someone behind me. I turned around and saw a woman. She was petite with curly hair down her back. wearing a pair of beige capris and a blue t- shirt. She looked happy to see me. I often saw her in my dreams. She never spoke. She never touched me. She never moved from where she stood. But every time she was there she would sing. "You're my sunshine... My little sunshine... You make me happy when skies are grey..". She sang with her eyes fixed on me. Although it probably should've acted me, it never did. I was always calmed by it. Then, like in all my dreams, she would look behind her with pure terror in her eyes and let out a blood curdling scream before she disappeared. Chapin didn't see her. No ever did. Just me. I looked down and Chapin was gone. I heard heavy footsteps make their way up to my door. My heart beat quickened as I tried to look for something to defend myself with or a way out. The steps stopped at my door. It was quiet. I let out a sigh of relief. Then my door burst open! Karen was standing there by she looked different. She had slits on her wrists and blood running all down her arms and ran towards me and rapped her hands around me neck. She squeezed down on y threat closing my air ways. I gasped and tried to scream but couldn't everything faded to black...

My eyes snapped open and I shot up from my position in the passengers seat. I gasped loud and my hand flew to my throat.

"Oh shit Alex are you okay?" I took a deep breath and settled back into the seat of the now parked car.

"Nightmare." I said as I forced a small smile to reassure him I was alright. He was not convinced.
