Adaline POV:
I stare straight ahead at the plane white walls, covers to my bed rapped around me. Everything in the room around me is white. White walls, White sheets. I sit up and see William watching me from the doorway.
He walks over and kisses me, deeply, pushing my back onto the bed. I kiss back hard as his body is hovering over me. His lips move down my face, forcing my head forward, my neck being attacked. After sucking on my skin, his mouth finds its way back to my lips.
I eagerly wait for more until he pulls away and glares at me. He stands once more and zips up his leather jacket, walking out of the door, disappearing.
Suddenly everything is dark, black and white, like its lost its color, it's meaning.
I stare at the door confused. He left, taking everything away as he walks out the door. I stand up and walk to the window and slowly open it. I make my way to his dresser, grabbing clothes and walk to the window and throw them out, one after the other, and watch them float away with the wind.
I stop and I watch the three articles of clothing disappear. I fall back into a chair that wasn't there before and Will stands behind me.
The color returns as everything becomes clear once more.
He slowly wraps his arms around me. I smile slowly and kiss his hands, turning to face him. Then, he's gone . I stand up from the chair and run back to the bed. I lay down again and stare at the white ceiling as the sun sets through the windows.
Turning my head, William is there again, right beside me. He glances at me then sits up again, leaving me again. Unlike the other times, I stand up and follow him, he walks out the door, leaving it cracked open. I slip through the doorway and enter a small, dark room. A dim light turns on above me in the middle of the run down hotel room. I'm tied up to a chair, a red cloth in my mouth. Shadows surround me as William steps forward.
/////////////////////////////////////
My eyes shoot open. I gasp for a breath of air as if someone was chocking me. I look around quickly seeing Logan still asleep. I finally catch my breath and slide off the creaky bed.
I step around the couch where Logan is fast asleep and wedge the door open. I walk down the hall, around to the back door. Tomorrow, these will be the door I leave begin hiding out on my own. . The alarms shut off at 3 am. I open the glass door and step outside. I begin walking down a path outside the dorm hall. I come along a clearing in the trees with a perfect view of the sky. I bend down and stretch my legs out, laying my head down on the dry grass.
I hate what that dream meant to me. I'm slowly driving myself crazy. Why can't I handle this! I just wish I could leave my body right here in the forest and let my spirit be free. I thought staying with Will was hell but really, this is beginning to look worse.
I can't seem to forget my past, I think that's what I'm really scared of. Even if the company doesn't find me, my memory will somehow find me,capture me, and never let me go. So really, I'm my own kidnapper.
Id give anything to just disappear, just drop everything. It would be so much easier, and who would I be hurting. Maybe Logan but he would understand why I took my life.
I know I'm not strong enough, and I can't seem to change my mind that I actually could make it. I guess if I can make it till tomorrow I'll be okay but after that, I'm not making any promises.
The sky above me begins to brighten so I sit myself up and slowly retrace my steps back to the campus. I walk back into the dorm and see a still passed out Logan.
"Hey get your lazy ass off the couch" I say and roll over the top of the couch on top of him. " Add I swear" he says, using my nickname." You started it bitch" I laugh." what! how" he states as he sits up when I get off him. I laugh and walk over to the kitchen." I'm making eggs!" I sing to him as I hear him walk to the bathroom.
I crack eggs into the pan and Logan walks out, dressed for school, doing his hair. " Hey Addie?" he questions." Yeah?" I reply." Well um, I have a movie date tonight with this guy in my Bio class, and I forgot it's at my place and I don't want to change it to his dorm because this is like our first official date so I talked to him and I just told him that you were out of highschool and you used to live next to me at old house. So I told him that I was protective about you and I didn't want you to leave the campus so he said during the date you can stay in his room. Is that okay?" he walks over to plate of eggs on the coffee table." First, you got a date and didn't tell me, and second, of course that's fine" I smile at him.
He smiles as he looks at his feet, cheeks pink with shyness."He's gorgeous and sweet and we have been talking a lot so I invited him over" he shrugs,taking a bite out of his eggs. Soon enough, I'm left in his dorm while he is at school. I decide that I'm going to get everything ready for tonight at 3. I pull out the grocery bags from under his bed and begin to organize the money into a bag I bought. It's a normal sized looking purse but it has tons of room inside.
I get everything settled into my new purse including the gun I pull out of the clutch I brought with me from the party. I set the reloads in the pocket easiest to get to and then finally pull out the hair dye. I walk over to the bathroom. I being a seat into the bathroom with me, along with my phone and the instructions. I sit on the bench and brush out all the knots in my hair and begin putting the product in my hair. Once I'm all done, I have to sit for an hour and wait for it to set in, then wash it out. I quickly set a timer and walk back to the couch and watch television for a while.
Beside me, the timer goes off on my phone. I quickly turn off the alarm and walk over to the shower. I strip and prepare myself for a shower. As I step in, the warm water greets my skin. I quickly massage my scalp and get all the product out. I see the water draining turning into the same color my new hair will be.
As I finish shaving my legs I step out of the now cold shower and quickly dry off. I stand back I front of the mirror, still warm from the shower. my bare skin reflects back into the mirror. I look back at myself. I only changed my hair but yet I look different. My eyes, my body, and now my hair. I've definitely gotten thinner, weaker and well, my eyes have gotten darker. At this point, I can't look at myself. I slip into my clothes on the floor and walk away from the mirror, grabbing my phone. I begin to look in the piles of books all around his room for a phone book. Not after looking for long, I find the book and flip through the pages, determined to find Shay's parents phone number.
After looking for 10 minutes straight, I finally find it. I dial it as fast as I can and put the phone to my ear.
The phone rings three times until Shay's father answers."Hello?"he asks.
"Hello sir, I'm a friend of your daughters and my name is Adaline Green. If she's around can you please tell her my name. " I say." She told us about you, I'll go get her" he says and I can hear him call her name." it's Adaline" he yells and then Shay greets me at the phone.
." I'm so glad you found me, I'm so freaked out" she says her voice laced with nervousness." I know, me too, are you going to stay hidden at your parents" I ask as i feel a little spark go off inside me.
"No, I was actually just packing" she answers." I heading off to a hotel tonight in the next city over, Melmore. " she finishes" I've heard of it, that's a drive" I say." I know but I'll get there by 3 am if I leave at 12. But where are you? "she asks."At a college, my friends college, but I'm leaving tonight also but I wasn't going far, just to a motel about 4 miles away, it's sort of hidden. It's called Hillside Motel" I answer." After I get there, I could reduce my stay to 3 nights so I get prepared and drive up there." I add." that's great, we will stay there for a while until we can move elsewhere." she continues my plan." okay, that's the new plan. I'll call you tonight" I say." okay, good luck Adaline"she says as the call ends.
