Cross My Heart I'm Dead

Chapter 6

"Somewhere. It's none of your business." I said. He grabbed my arm and pulled me off the window ledge and into my room.

"You can't just leave like that, you always do this, you can't just run away whenever you don't like something."

"Oh yeah? Watch me." Just after saying that he punched me in the face. I said almost always dodge those, not always.

"What the fuck was that for? I'm leaving and you can't stop me. I'll be back later."

"Once you left for a week. You do that again and a beating is coming your way."

"I'd like to see you try," I grabbed his arm and put him in a head lock. As I was about to punch him I noticed that the idiot from before was watching through Drake's window. I let go of Jed and wrote another sign:

'FUCK OFF'

I closed the blinds and turned back to Jed. 

"You want to fight or are you going to let me go without any trouble?"

"I just want to know where you go off to."

"Secret."

"I know you're going to those stupid friends of yours, they're a bad influence and once Jade and Bill find out you're gonna be in huge shit," I punched his stupid smile. They aren't a bad influence on me, they saved me from harm when no one else would help.

"I don't need your stupid advice, Jed, just let me leave in peace," Jed walked away so I opened the blinds and got my back pack for the second time.

"Hey, you can come over here if you want." Drake offered sweetly.

"I'm fine, thanks. Oh and tell your friend not to stare at me.. Its kind of creepy."

"Ron, stop staring at Alexis."

"Oh shut up." I heard another guy say. I assumed he was Ron.

"C'mon over. Where else are you going to go?"

"Out."

"Obviously. Please, what's the worst that could happen?" That was kind of a good point so I gave in.

"Fine. If your brother is home then I'm out."

"Ha-ha, sure."

I climbed down the wall (outside from my window), unlike Drake's there were loads of bricks sticking out so it resembled a climbing wall. Once I got to the ground I walked over to Drake's window.

"Want me to climb up or go through the door?" I called. He looked down at me. 

"Ron is gonna open the door."

"Okay," I walked over to the front door where I saw Ron standing.

"H-Hi" he choked.

"Are you scared of me?" He didn't answer but I could tell by his red face that he was.

"Hey Drake." I said as I walked into his amazing room.

"Hi. Oh, do you want a tissue?"

"Why would I want a tissue?"

"Your nose is bleeding."

"Fuck. I don't need one."

"D-Did your br-brother do that to y-you?" Ron stuttered.

"Yeah. It doesn't matter." I replied.

"Dude, why are you so afraid?" Drake asked him. he looked down at the ground.

"Don't you remember? She's the kid that broke my arm and fractured my leg." For once he said a whole sentence.

"Oh.. I'm sorry about that. Next time don't go round calling me an emo bitch and getting Troy to come and fight me." I really was sorry but I remembered why I did that and I was a little angry.

"She won't hurt you while I'm around. Right Al?"

"No. I think I've had enough fights for a day." I replied. Ron lifted his head and pulled on a fake smile.

"So Drake, how much did you say I have to pay for the guitar?"

"£70. You get the guitar as soon as I get the money."

"Great." I saw Ron get his wallet out. "Crap. I'm £5 short."

"It doesn't matter. Here." Drake handed him the guitar and took his money.

"Can you play?" Ron looked over to me.

"Just a couple of songs. I don't know the chords or notes or anything like that." I looked over to the black and white electric guitar.

"Cool." Just then my phone rang.

"Mind if I answer?"

"No." They said together. I looked at the caller ID and saw that Mike was calling me.

----PHONE CALL----

"Hey Mikey. What's up?" I asked once I answered the phone.

Nothing much. John, Matt and I are going to a party and wanted to see if you could come. Oh, and stop calling me Mikey," he replied with a huff as I laughed. I love calling him Mikey; he gets so annoyed!

"Kk Mikey. Where shall I meet you?"

"Down the road from your house. I'll text you when we're there."

"Sure. Bye."

"Bye." He hung up after that and I just continued to stare at my phone.

----END OF CALL----

"Sorry I have to leave in a few minuets." I said to Drake and Ron who were both looking at me like I fell from Mars.

"Its fine. Have fun with where ever you're going" Drake spoke.

"Yeah, see-ya."

"Oh, Al?" I turned to see Drake holding onto my arm to stop me from leaving.

"Yeah?"

"Just wondering, are you going to go to school tomorrow?"

"Uh.. I might." We heard the front door burst open in anger as Sam walked in. "Shit gotta run." I said before I jumped out the window onto the sticking out brick and jumped down.

"Drake? What the fuck were you doing with that bitch Alexis?" I heard Sam shout.

"My locker is right next to hers and I'm in the same class as her. Kinda see her everyday."

"Fuck you Drake. You know I hate her and her stupid brother."

"I know. Now get out of my room." After that I walked down the road. I really hope Drake doesn't get in trouble just 'cause he spent time with me. It wouldn't be fair on him. As I walked down the street I felt my phone vibrate and saw some motorbikes waiting a few meters away.

"Hey Al. Ready to go?" Matt asked me as I sat behind him on his motorbike.

"Hell yeah. Can you guys drive me home after?"0

"Of course we can," John replied.

"Why aren't Derek and Taylor coming?" 

"'Cause they aren't any fun." Matt said in a childish voice and with a pout. I laughed as we drove off to the party. Now, you might of thought Matt and I didn't get along but he's actually like a brother to me, it's just fun to mess with him.
