I Want to Forget

Chapter 22

The screaming and yelling filled the area. Different voices rang through my ears. My friends wouldn't stop bickering. I didn't say anything, I didn't have the energy to yell too. It was Valentine's Day morning. I went to bed at 2 in the morning, but I couldn't sleep. Throughout the night I would wake up from a nightmare. The same nightmare. It played in my mind like a scratched record, repeating every note. In my nightmare I was trapped, no where to run. Two shadowy figures, a male and a female, chased me. They chased me until I was cornered. The male's head was cocked to the side, like a creepy supernatural cock of the head. The female had a hole, right where her heart should be. Her heart was in her hand. Blood dripped everywhere. She created a sobbing noise, like she was crying. I never saw their faces, the shadows covered any facial features. I read somewhere that you only have dreams about people you know, so I must know these two people. I don't believe in prophetic dreams, but it seemed so surreal. I woke up from the nightmare, but once I feel asleep it would happen again. The same girl, the same boy. However the setting was always different. One time it was in Eric's mansion, inside the forsaken butcher room. Another time it was in a dark forest. That forest seemed familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it. I sort of forgot of the text message from Samantha, I never pondered about. I was too tired to even try to think about it. Right now I was listening to the constant bickering that Jackie had created. I couldn't take it anymore. I gather up all my strength.

"Will everyone just shut up!" I scream. Everyone stops yelling and stares at me. Finally some silence. "You guys keep fighting, and not finding a solution. I'm tired of this!"

"But he started it!" Lina whines pointing to Toby.

"I don't care who started it! I'm tired of this! It is the day of love, why don't you guys show some!" My friends look at me puzzled. They didn't now where to start. I sigh. Of course I have to be the big person. I stomp over to Toby, Lina, Summer, and Jackie.

"I want all of you to apologize at the same time," I command.

"But it wasn't my fault!" Jackie complains.

"I don't care whose fault it is, just apologize!"

Jackie rolls her eyes, but she doesn't apologize. I look at Toby.

"I'm sorry," Toby mumbles.

Lina sighs," Me too..."

"Now hug," I demand.

"What!" They both asked surprised. I give them both the death stare. They roll their eyes and forcefully hug each other. I walk over to Kailah and Jake. She was frowning.

"Jake apologize," I demand him.

"I already have!" he replies gritting his teeth. I roll my eyes.

"Kailah, just accept his apology. He obviously didn't mean it, if he would try this hard to make up with you."

"Ok....I accept your apology," Kailah sniffs. One more. I walk over to Bryce and John and slap them both on the back of the heads.

"What was that for!" They whine.

"For being so stupid! You guys are best friends and you are willing to give that all up for a stupid girl!"

They both sigh," No..."

"Ok good. Now are we all better now?"

"Yeah...." Everyone replies unenthusiastiacally.

"Great! Now I can get some peace and quiet, and we can get back to being friends." My group of friends start to wander off. I walk over to Jackie, no one was close enough to hear me.
