The Beginning of the End

chapter 16

The first thing I notice is my head pounding and the burning sensation on my face. "Jasmine." I hear a faint voice calling my name. Holy crack whore, am I dead!? Wait. Jasmine. If you were dead, why would your head hurt? The voice calling my name becomes louder. "Jasmine!" I hear a voice scream. I jump and my eyes shoot open. The burning on my face becomes worse and I shout in pain. I look around and notice Beth and Harley staring at me, worry in their eyes. "What happened?" I ask frantically, bringing my hand to my face. I flinch in pain as my hand makes connect with my face. "Jasmine, we have to go. You've been asleep for a day!" Harley exclaims, helping me down. "A day?! Shit guys! Today is when its supposed to happen." I yell, heading towards the door. I stop as my body begins to feel weak and a fall to the floor. "Jasmine!" Beth shouts. They run to me and help me up. "Be careful jasmine. The sedative is just now wearing off. And you have a shit ton off stitches in your face. Take it easy." Harley pleads. I nod and stand up, walking slowly to the car. "Ill drive," Harley says, jumping in the car. Beths helps me into the back. "How long will it take to get there?" I panic. I can't let anything bad happen to them. "About an hour." Beth says, plopping into the back with me. I put my head in my hands. "We have to get there in time." I mutter. "What happened while I was sleeping?" I ask them, lifting my head up. "We sedated you so we could stitch you up. The wounds on your face were the worst. Your neck and shoulders were just some bad scratches, no need for stitches." Beth explains. I look at my shoulder and see a bandage peeking out. I slip my shirt off and see it wrapped around my left shoulder and my chest for support, running around my neck. How did I not notice this? I sudden smirk, "so," I say. Beth looks at me. "Which one of you undressed me?" Beth shakes her head and Harley laughs loudly. "That's all you're worried about right now? " Beth chuckles at me.  I shrug nonchalantly "maybe." I say. "Harley, can I see your mirror?" I ask. She nods and grabs it from the passenger side. I slip it open and check out my face. 4 lines of stitches run from my cheek bone to my ear. I sigh, just whay I needed. More scars. "I look badass!" I yell, grinning. They both laugh. My poor face.

We were about to pull into the school when I stop Harley. "Don't pull in, park the car down that dirt road that leads to my old house." I demand. She looks at me with a confused look. "Why?" She ask, pulling onto the road and parking. I jump out and they quickly follow. I crouch by the bushes and motion for them to do the same. "Over there," I point to the side parking lot. "There a white vans." Beth and Harley look closely and their eyes widen. "Fuckin' rapist vans." Beth mutters. "They weren't there before." Harley says. I look at them. "Exactly. Four white vans? Seems suspicious." I say. They nod in agreement. "What should we do?" Beth asks. I head to the car and pop the trunk, getting my weapons. "We don't know who these people are but, it has to have something to do with Sky and Blaise." I say firmly. They look at me, expecting a plan of attack. "We'll sneak in, we know that place like the back of our hand—" Beth looks at her hand and mutters "oh. That's new." I breathe a laugh "we sneak in, find Taylor and them, figure out who they are and then we'll go from there." I state. Harley nods as Beth continues staring at the back of her hand. "Come on." I say.

Getting in the school and up to the third floor was easy. We had entered on the hallway we didn't use. I motion for Harley and Beth to get down when I hear loud voices. We sneak to into the middle hall and the voices get louder. I peer into the last hallway and I see a man in a suit, holding a gun, standing by the door. That must be where they are. I turn and motion for them to go into the restroom. There, we make a plan.
