They Put Me In A Fake Coffin

Chapter 12: "whats wrong with you?"

I glanced at the clock on the wall and it indicated that it was indeed 2 pm. I didn't know how time passed but im glad it did.

1 new message from Tori

Hey, when you're done Sam will be waiting outside for you. Had to leave early. See u at home xoxo

I sighed and walked out of class headed to the school parking.
I saw Sam standing there resting on a black Lamborghini, with a cigarette between his fingers.
I approached him slowly till he noticed me
"Oh uh H-hey" He stuttered
"Hey"

"Come in, ill drive u home"

I rolled my eyes and got in the passenger seat

"Tori had to leave early so she asked me to bring you home"

I cringed at the word "home" this is not home, this will never be home
My home is where my family and friends are, not a place where im forced to use a fake name, fake id and a fake smile.

"Whatever" I said harshly
I can feel his eyes on me, but I refused to give in and continued staring out my window
He turned on the radio to soft rock and started driving home
"Step on it, Id like to get there before tomorrow"

"What's wrong with you?" He sighed

"Do you seriously have to ask? Should i remind you of what has happened in the past couple of months?" I didn't realize that by the end of the last sentence that I was yelling at him, until I saw that look on his face.

That look reminded me of my brother when we were kids, we would be fighting and then he says something mean, and when I start crying he looks at me like that. His eyes filled with guilt and sympathy. Even though I would call him names or hit first. He still feels bad

I hate being viewed as week, I always had this badass attitude. But this.. This is too much

He scratched his head, trying to master a response.
"Look I know that no matter what I say, i wont be able to make you feel better. But Im sorry for everything"

"Will your sorry give me back my life?" I smiled sarcastically

"No but-"

"YOU STARTED ALL OF THIS YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD WHY KIDNAP ME IN THE FIRST PLACE IF YOU WERE GONNA END UP HELPING ME"

I lost control. All this time I was trying to act normal, holding it in but I couldnt. Not anymore, I miss my home, My family and friends and I even miss my boring teachers. I just want my life back

But Sam didnt reply, he was just staring at the road. With no expression on his face whatsoever, making me lose it even more

"WHY WONT YOU ANSWER ME"
He stayed silent. And after a while so did I

I cant stay here, I have got to do something.

*Anthony's POV*

hey man, I got your text. Is everything okay? Ill be at your place by 4

I glanced at phone quickly and then continued writing the plan.

Alex isnt dead nor is she some teenage runaway. Theres something more to it, but no one believes me. Her family even had a funeral with an empty coffin.
I know Alex, if she would have had something planned to runaway she would've told me.
And then you got their death theory, the police are saying she got lost in the woods or something, since they found her car empty a few miles behind. But someone isn't dead if theres no body

She's my girl, and I will find her no matter what it takes.

I packed a small bag, that had money, a gun, and an extra pair of clothes.

I had a plan, its no coincidence that after Alex disappears by a while that kid Sams 'family' decides to switch states. Something isnt right

I never liked Sam or his friends. They were Ballacks and we were Alphates. You probably have no idea what are those, Ill tell you.

We live in a small town, ruled by gangs. I guess you can call it that, once you're freshman in highschool you'll have to join one of them. 'Or else' is what they said, to this day I have no idea what they meant by that and the 18 year old me would probably ignore them. But hey being a freshman is already scary enough.

Ballacks and Alphates never got along. I dont think there were ever very serious fights that lead to death, but you can get pretty beaten up and in trouble if you disobey an Alphates, they give you a fake I.D, which is what every teenager wants. So if you don't do what they say they'll let the cops know you're underage drinking in a club that you're not allowed into, no one wants that.
So basically we give Ballacks a hard time and vise versa

I heard a car horn, i assumed it was AJ since he's supposed to be here by now. But I was wrong, it was Alex's brother.

"Hey man whats up?" I tried to act normal
"Uh hey, look we gotta talk" he then looked around and said "inside"

He had a weird look that kept me unsettled, did he find out im gonna go look for Alex and wanted to tag along?

"Sure come inside" I let him in
He walked in slowly looking around and then he turned and faced me
"Look im gonna get straight to the point, the cops came today and I over heard them speaking to my parents and.." He looked down at his hands, trying to hold back his tears.

He sighed "they found a body, by the lake and they think its.. They think its Alex.. My parents are now on their way to identify the body"
He sniffed, trying to continue talking but he couldn't. He was sobbing, but I was unbelievable calm.

Why, why was I calm? Was it because 90% of me believes she's out there? Or am i just numb

"Hey listen to me, she's not dead. It's probably not gonna be Alex, im sure she's alive somewhere" I sat next to him but he ran out of the door.

Its not Alex it's not Alex its not Alex Its not Alex ... Or is it?
Once the first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. I bent forward where I sat on the floor, pressing my palms to the mat, I began to cry with the force of a person vomiting on all fours
