Stitched

Chapter Two

I woke up again this time at midnight. I looked outside, and saw that my mom wasn't home. I got worried so I turned on the television to the news. It was boring me to death. It finally got interesting.

"Breaking News, there was a terrible car crash on Highway 84. One injured and the other dead. The one dead is known as Amber Grey." I started tearing up because Amber Grey is my mom. I cried and couldn't stop. I was heartbroken, and now I'm alone. I didn't text anyone because I was afraid.

3 in the morning, I was still crying. I didn't know what to do now because I had nobody, except Sam and Dylan. I didn't text either of them because they would be worried, well Sam would. I stopped crying because crying won't bring her back. I fell asleep on the couch again.

I got up around 9. I wasn't going to go back to school because I was too depressed. I looked at my phone and saw a message from Sam saying: Where are you? I sent her a message saying that I was sick. I know I lied but I had to.

She never texted back, but I got a text from an unknown number. "Hey are you okay?" the unknown number's text said. I sent them a text saying who is this? The unknown number texted back and u wouldn't believe who it was, Dylan. I sent him a text asking why he cared.

"Well first of all, I consider you one of my friends. The other reason I'm still trying to get you to like me," the text said. I sent a text back wishing him good luck on him trying to make me like him. I tried getting up off the couch, but for some reason I was hurting so I sat back down. I got a text from Dylan saying, "I don't need luck." I sent one back saying if u want me then u got to have luck because I'm hard to get.

I was tired so I fell back asleep.

(Dream) "W...Where am I?" I asked. All there was is silence. Finally someone was in the shadows, and then I walked toward the person. "Don't get to close," a man's voice said behind me. I looked behind me and saw it was Dylan.

"Why are you in my dream Dylan?" I asked. "You know what people say, whatever your thinking when you go to sleep you dream about it," he said. I scoffed. I stayed with Dylan because I had no choice. So we walked like for hours.

We talked and all that. (Dream is interrupted)

I woke up to someone knocking on my door. "Veronica open the door now!!!" a man's voice said. Oh I only could imagine who this is. I got up and went to the door and opened it. "What do you want Dylan?" I asked him.

"I just wanted to see if you were okay," he said. "I'm fine," I lied. He just looked at me strangely. "Okay come to school tomorrow because I want you to go to the dance with me," he said. "Um why don't you take the most preppy girl in school with you because she says that you're her boyfriend," I said.

"Nicky? Um no thanks," he said. "Fine what time is the dance at?" I asked. "It's directly after school," he said. "Okay I'll see you there, but it's not a date," I said sternly. "Yes, I mean, see you there bye," he said walking away.

I closed the door, and I was thinking to myself why would I say yes to him. "OMG do I like him?" I said out loud. I had a little freak out. I went upstairs to pick out something, and I found a pretty dress. The dress was a maroon short, sleeveless dress.

I looked at the time and it said 6:42 p.m. I texted Dylan asking if he could take me somewhere out to eat. A few minutes later, I got a text from him saying, "Sure I'll be right over." I sent a text saying okay thanks. I put on my band t-shirt with black skinny jeans.

Next thing I know is that he is knocking on the door. "I'm coming!" I yelled. I ran downstairs, and opened the door. "Hey," he said. "Hi," I said.

We walked to his car when all of a sudden my favorite song comes on, Payback by Attila. "Wait you like Attila?" he asked. "Yeah I love them!" I said. "Me too!" he said. We both started singing the song.

I was surprised he liked Attila. He started driving away from my house, and we talked the whole time. "Let's go to Taco Bell," I said. "Okay I'm in for it," he said. So we went to Taco Bell.

I ordered a 5-layer burrito, and he ordered the same. I went to a booth, and he sat beside me. I looked outside and saw who were here, Nicky and her posse. "Um I'm going to have to um leave," I said. "Why do you have to go?" he asked.

"Okay don't tell Nicky or anyone I told you this but she threatened me that if I was near you again she would kill me," I said. He had a shocked face on. "Dylan," the man called out. He got up and got the food. I took my food and left.

I ran into Nicky and her posse. "Well, Well look who we have here girls it's the girl who is hitting on my man," she said. "I already told you I'm not hitting on Dylan," I said with venom in my words. "Oh where is your mom, oh wait she died last night," she said. I thought to myself that's it and I threw a punch and broke her nose.

"Don't you ever talk about my mom again or I will kill you," I said with anger. "You can't tell me what to do," she said back. "Don't say that again or next time you will get your face rearranged," I said. "Come on Nicky you need to go to the hospital, you already have a broken nose," one of her preppy friends said. They left and I went back in to Dylan.

"What happened out there? Why did she leave?" he asked. "Well I just put her in the hospital," I said. He had a shocked face on. "Yep I broke her nose," I said. "Why did you break her nose?" he asked.

"Please don't tell anyone, but my mom died last night and she brought it up," I said. "Oh I'm so sorry, and where is your dad?" he asked. "My dad died when I was six years old," I said. "You have no one to stay with do you?" he asked. "Nope all I have is me," I said sadly.

"Oh I'm so sorry," he said. "Its fine I knew this was going to happen one day because I dreamt of it," I said with tears in my eyes. He scooted closer to me and I put my head on his shoulder. "Don't cry," he said. He stroked my hair.

I sat up and said, "Please take me home." "Okay," he said. We walked out the door and got in his car. He drove me home. We got to my house in a heartbeat, and I thanked him for taking me to go eat.
