The Apartment

Chapter 9

Cara

I heard them try to call my name as I bolted out of the restaurant. I didn't know where I was going, I still don't know where I'm going. But here I am. Still walking down a dark and rather scary street feeling tears cascade down my face. I hear clacking coming from behind me getting closer, like heels against cement.

I stopped and turned around to see Jenn blurry from the tears in my eyes, running towards me at full speed. She stopped when she was a few feet away from me. "Jenn, why are you following me, y-you shouldn't be here." I whispered and wiped my eyes sniffing trying not to make eye contact with her.

"Yes I should be here, and I followed you because I wanted to" she stepped closer. "Well you should go now, back to my house I'll be home later OK." My voice cracked. "And if you're not, y-you just expect me to believe you're not dead laying in a ditch somewhere." I shook my head turning away from her walking in the opposite direction.

I heard the clacking again as I was grabbed by my shoulder and turned around. I slapped her hand off my arm.
  "Can you just stop, why the hell do you care so much." She grabbed me by both my shoulders and hugged me. Not just a quick hug but one the meant something, one that melted me from the inside out. With that one hug she broke down my walls that I spent years building, brick by excruciating brick. Gone.

When she broke the hug I was shocked and scared and everything in between.
  "Will you let me in now" she asked. All I did was stand there like an idiot as she held my shoulders.
  "I'm gonna take that as a yes, and do what I've been wanting to do since we met." Then she kissed me. It was amazing she was amazing, I've never been more in love with a person than I am right at this moment in time.

It should have lasted for ever but all good things must come to an end.
  "Jenn" I heard someone shout from down the alley way. We broke the kiss but we didn't let go of each other until the voice spoke up again.
  "Jenn" it was a mans voice and it was closer now like right behind her close.

I looked behind her too see a man. He looked familiar, wait a second that's Liam Hemsworth her co-worker is she dating him. I didn't even have time to over think the situation before I took off down the street towards my apartment complex. I could feel her eyes on me until I turned the corner out of her sight.

When I made it home I went straight to my room throwing myself on the bed taking a deep breath before letting out a blood curdling scream. I need to scream I needed to cry and break things. I need to die I thought to myself. Yes I need to die and maybe I won't be a coward this time. I don't belong here in this world, I think to myself as I walked into the bathroom. It was like I was a robot I had no feeling I was numb inside out trapped inside my brain. And I stopped calling for help long ago, and nows my time to go once and for all.
