Finding Hope Somewhere

Chapter 17

*The Next Morning*

I don't really remember what all happened last night. The only thing that I remembered was that Jack and Abigail got pulled in by the cops.

I was in some pajamas and my makeup was smeared all over my face. I went into the bathroom to wipe it all off.

I got into some skinny black jeans, a skull shirt with a flower crown on it, a black hoodie, and my gray vans, and went downstairs.

My aunt was still asleep on the couch, so I went into the kitchen made myself some toast and headed out the door so I could start walking to school. I left a little bit early because I wanted to take the long way.

About five minutes of walking I heard footsteps behind. I just kept walking thinking that it was a squirrel or something. I then heard the noise coming closer behind me. A split second after someone put their hands over my mouth.

"Say one word, and your dead'

I was trying to stay calm. I then heard the stranger fumbling for something. I then heard a click and a pocket- knife was held to me neck.

I started to squint my eyes. "HELP, HELP, HELP" I started screaming. I then rolled out from under his arms and I lifted my head and there he stood. Black Hair that was covering his green eyes, his pale white skin and his tall body.

"Jack?"

He stood there starring at me.

"Laura, I'm going crazy"

"Jack, This is the third time you tried killing me"

"Laura I'm going crazy"

He then ran over to me and hugged me. I could sense the fear he was in. Jack was scared, and it was visible.

"Jack, I know"

"She is messing with my mind" he said stroking my long blonde hair

"Jack, why did you stay with her"

"Because, I thought I didn't have you"

"Jack, you were the one that left me alone. I didn't do anything to deserve the pain I went through without you. Jack every night I sat there crying, wondering if I was ever going to get you back. Do you know how I felt? I felt so alone without you Jack."

"Laura, you had Jasper"

'He's not the same"

"Why?'

"Jack, he is my boyfriend not my bestfriend"

Jack just starred at me so I just started walking. He walked beside me and the whole walk to school was silent.

We finally arried on campus and everyone was starring at me. I went inside and headed straight to me locker. I opened tbe locker and all these little tiny notes. There was about 100 of them. I opened one of the notes and it read "Emo." Then I opened another one and it read "Ugly." I opened more and I was about ready to scream. The words that were on the notes were messing with my head.

I slammed my locker door and screamed "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THE HATE THAT YOU GUYS GIVE ME? I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT LIVING MY LIFE." I stood there and everyone was in shock. I was done I finally broke. I kept it in for so long that it set my tiff on edge.

"Laura, Jasper got in a massive accident he's in the hospital" This girl ran up to me and said.

I quickly threw my books on the ground and ran. Since I lived in a small town everything was close together so the hospital was about 5 minutes away.

I finally got to the hospital and I walked up to the front desk and asked for where Jasper Peter's room is. She told me it was down the hall so she gave me a 'visitor' pass and I ran down the hall.

Seconds later I got to his room. The heart monitor was beeping so that made me happy to see, but on the other he was all beat up, cuts and bruises all over his face and arms.

I quickly walked in and noticed someone by his side. I was in shock. Why was this person here?
