The Massacre

Chapter 13

The next morning I got to school after almost being late. Damian had to rush us through some traffic this morning when he picked me up. I told him everything about last night in the car. He said that Lily acted a little too dramatic. I guess he is right but it still hurts. Lily hasn't texted me yet. I don't know if I should reach out or not. Damian said I should just give her some time. I'll try my best but I know I am craving to talk to her. She should be up by now for her school day. Maybe I can text her mom too. I don't know what to do but I think I'll give Lily some time like Damian said. Besides I got classes to attend. Damian and I went up to our lockers. It was weird not meeting up with Scarlett anymore but I had to try to move on. People did still talk about the fight but I kept out of their discussions.  I don't want anymore things going wrong. Damian and I grabbed our class things and went off to class.

During classes I tried to focus on the school work and lessons but my mind kept thinking about Lily and Scarlett. I think my teachers can tell I wasn't doing well because the school counselor called me to her office during my algebra class. I went downstairs into the office. The attendant brought me back to the counselors office. "Please come in Miss Paige" the counselor said. I took a seat in the small chair in front of her desk. "I have heard you been struggling today and I think I may know why" she said. "Yes I been struggling. The whole thing with Scarlett is affecting me and then my girlfriend hasn't texted me all day" I explained. "I get that. I know Scarlett was a good friend to you but now that she lied to you that can hurt. Have you tried some mind games to distract your mind? Or some deep breathing?" My counselor asked. "Yes but nothing works. I can't just move on. It's impossible" I cried. My counselor pushed some tissues towards me. I began crying for a few minutes. I didn't care that she saw me crying. I needed to let out my emotions. "Look if you need to go home right now, we can call your parents to come get you" my counselor said. "That works" I said. She nodded and called my parents. I went back to my class and got my things. I told my teacher I was leaving for the day. Then I went to my locker to grab my bag and everything. Then I went back downstairs and sat in the office. My dad showed up to pick me up. We went out to the car. I put everything in the back and then got in. We got some lunch and then went home. I ate my food in my room. I checked my phone hoping for a text and there was one. I saw it was from Lily.

Lily: Hey. I am sorry for how I was yesterday. I was a little dramatic but I got freaked out. I never met a vampire til now and I thought you would have killed me too. I love you, I hope you don't hate me.

Me: Aww it's ok. I would never kill my own girlfriend. You are the best I love you so much. I don't hate you at all. If I hated you, I would have blocked you.

Lily: that's true. I love you.

Me: I love you too.

The text made me a little better. I was so happy to hear from her. She makes me smile easily. I finished my lunch and did some school work on my laptop. Emily came in my room. "Hear anything from Lily?" She asked. I nodded. She was happy for me. "Good I knew she would eventually text you" Emily sighed. She gave me a big hug. "I love you sis" she smiled. "I love you too" I grinned.

Later on I helped my mom with some chores around the house. Damian stopped by to see how I was doing. I told him that Lily texted me so that helped me feel better. He was glad. After he left, I watched some television with my dad. Then we all ate dinner. I got to FaceTime Lily afterwards. We talked about school and then about her cheer practice. Tomorrow night is the big football game against our schools. I was going to try to sit on Lily's team side. I can't wait to see Lily do her whole cheer routine. Damian was going to take me with him to the game so I didn't need a ride from Emily. After Lily and I did our FaceTime I ended up watching some more television. I made sure to get the rest of my school work done too. Then I read my book for some time. I also showered and got into my pajamas. I set my alarm for tomorrow and then climbed into bed. I watched some tik tok again. Lily sent me a couple funny videos. I laughed too hard that I think I could have woken up my parents. I hope I didn't though. I texted Lily my goodnight text then I tried to fall asleep. Took me awhile but I finally drifted off to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a good day hopefully. I can't wait to see Lily at the football game. This will be so much fun.
