I got out the hospital quicker than i had planned. I was to rest for at least a week. So now the week's nearly over. But everything that had happened with Alex was bugging me. It was a dream. I had to be. Alex probably just sat there will i daydreamed about what he would say... It was Sunday night when i decided to go to work to tell them that i would be back in on the Monday. I drove down in my bug and parked it at Beartimes pub. The light was still on even though it was 7 o'clock. The bell of the door sounded as i walked into the cosy bookstore. Margret; my boss quickly ran over and gave me a hug.
"Hunnie, how are you?, your mother came in an told us everything. Same they haven't found that crazy lady that stabbed you. Shame..." Margret was old, and a bit crazy. She lived with her cats and her books. She was the happiest person I'd seen in a long while.
"Margret? Tomorrow i will be back in. It's not fair you being left all on your o-"Margret was beaming at me, that it wasn't write.
"Oh but Harper, i haven't been alone, Douglas here offered to do your shifts until you came back." Margret pointed to the boy up a ladder, fixing a light bulb that had been broken since i was there.
"Well, i better be off my mum wouldn't want me out to late." I looked at my watch it was already 8 o'clock. "Bye Margret, see you tomorrow" i gave her a quick hug and a weary smile. "Bye ermm, Douglas." He climbed down the ladder and gave me a cheerful smile. I returned one and left the shop. Douglas Looked about 16, he had short curly hair and geeky glasses. He looked like somebody that liked fossils and read books on science. I quickly jumped into my car and drove back home.
I got up at 5 since it took me double the time to get ready. I grabbed my skinny jeans and a black top (the school said i could wear what i want to make things easier for me!) I examined my left side to see the long thing line filled with tiny stitches. My body ached when i stretched to put my top on. I got dressed added heaps of lip-gloss and eyeliner and then chucked my black hair up in a small pony tall. I grabbed my school bag and waited for Riley and Lucas to arrive. They were the most worried about what happened to me. Lucas (head of the football team/Riley's new boyfriend) was Cute. Nobody knew he was gay until the other day when he announced that him and riley were going out. He had to quit being captain because of it!!! It's sad, i know. Lucas Said he didn't mind. He was Gorgeous, tall, Handsome and really cute. The doorbell rang which interrupted my mind blabbing. I open the door and Riley stood with Lucas. Lucas leaned against the door looking at Riley. I was going to puck.
"Here-"Riley grabbed my bag. I opened my mouth to complain but he shushed me.
"Don't even think of complaining. If you do i will steal your muse posters when you're sleeping, and burn your shoes." He smiled at his new evil plan.
"Fine i won't complain." We left the house and got into Lucas's Range Rover Sport (He's really Rich!!) and drove to the excited (not) school. I really hated Mondays. They always felt really long. I had French first. I got in and took my seat. The room was full of chatting students. Just then Alex walked into the room. My heart missed beats. His Hair looked sexy. Even though he was ignoring me, i didn't care. I think, that just maybe, i will kind of falling for him. No!! I can't. He is rude and hateful! But he is tall, handsome and Sexy. Oohh crap i did really really like him!! But why does dislike me sooo much. The teacher began the lesson and i tried to focus but i had that feeling. Eye Were all over me. But i was impossible. I sat at the back of the room. I looked around to my left to see if anybody turned their heads. Nobody. I glanced at my right. Of course i was him. Who else. Alex looked at me and gave me a dirty look (in a bad way). My heart felt like it had been ripped apart. There was no point in loving him. Did i just say love! The fire alarm rang and everybody shrugged out the room. The air was hinted by smoke. Everybody looked around. We exited the school; i looked up at the top floor. The H/E room was filled with smoke.
"Everybody move, this is not a drill." Teachers were shouting at pupils who wouldn't move fast enough. I stood beside Cameo who was laughing and coughing at the same time.
"- and then Chris dropped the spoon that was on fire and ran out the school. Hey Harp, did you hear that Chris set a spoon on fire in H/E and now the place is going to go up in flames?!" Kate who had popped up rolled her eyes.
"It's not going to go up in flames. But it's bad. Kerry Hunter has been rushed to hospital and 2 class-rooms are on fire. There closing the school." She looked worried but i was happy, no school! Yuuss.
We all were told to go home, just like Kate said. I had to walk home by myself since Riley was going to see a movie with Lucas. I was going to head down to work earlier and help out but before i got to David-Hill road i noticed a boy on the other side of the road. It looked like Douglas. I crossed over the road just as the boy turned around. Ok, bad idea. Alex looked pale. He had a Black hoodie on with his hood up. He looked at me sadly then angrily. Ok, that's it! He started to walk away.
"Ok, I've had it with your mean looks and you avoiding me. Why" i shouted at him. He froze then walked back to me.
"Look Harper-"he was struggling to find words "i can't be around you, I-"he paused again, his mood seemed to change don't like you, i hate you. I can't bare you!" i felt ill. He hates me. He really does hate me. I looked into his eyes. There was a hint of guilt and want. But he soon stormed off. I watched as he headed across the road and past the entrance of the woods. A shiver ran down my spine. Somebody was there. I looked over at the trees. A woman was perched on a branch. She looked hurt then angry. It was her. The women that stabbed me. I blinked and she was gone. I hurried down to work. I past my mother's shop. The shop was all closed up. She had taken a day off. I was my idea. She had been working from 6am-11pm at night. All last week. I hurried down the road past the pub and into the snug bookstore.
Margret was sitting alone trying to manage the new cash machine. I waved then moved between the waiting costumers. She had no clue how to work modern things. It won't surprise me if she had no TV.
The hours passed by. It was closing time before i knew it. Crap i had no car. The night was cold and i had no jacket. Great! I searched my bag for my phone then patted my pockets. No phone ether. I had to walk. I had that feeling the whole way home. I wasn't scared. This feeling felt warm and safe. I got home around 9. My mum would be worried. It was weird how she had not checked for me at work. The sycamore tree swayed as i past it. I chilling breeze hit me. I approached the house. It was in darkness. I looked up at my room. My light was on? I hadn't left it on. The door when unlocked i open the door quietly. I was waiting for my mum to appear and tell me off. Nothing'. Something wasn't right. I ran up stairs and checked mums room. Nothing. I noticed my bedroom door was lying wide open. They lying on my carpet were my mum. A massive pool of blood sat next to her. I ran into my room and collapsed beside her. A note was stuck next to her. It read:
'I told you to keep away from him. He's mine. If you keep seeing Alex, i will kill you and him as well. ' Under the note lay one single black rose. I grabbed the phone and dialled 999.
