Chapter 10
Why?
The H-tower came into sight, I could see it clearly from here. Running even faster, I finally reached it. I opened the front door when a familiar feeling welcomed me into the tower. This was my home, my place, where I belonged. Those inside here were all my friends, my closest. Yet, I left.
What will they do if I came back? I got even sadder when another thought struck me, they didn't even look for me. They didn't even bother go searching for me, even though they knew I was gone. Did they even think of it? I opened the door and went inside, avoiding all the different cameras and alarms Gizmo set. I went to me to the floor where my room was, looking at the door. I remember when we first came, when I stood here, in front of my door thinking this was going to be my room.
Eventually, I brought the bed and table with mirror. It was a cream coloured room, but I wanted it darker. The others helped me paint my room, and when we were finished, we all sat down on the couch in the living room, drinking hot chocolate Mammoth made.
Eventually we brought the TV and all the different video games. We used the whole night playing first day after we bought it. Billy won by cheating, controlling two players.
I smiled at the scene, I was angry back then, not because Billy cheated, but because of the quarrel Billy and Gizmo picked up. That was back then, now I just had to smile.
This is where I belong, still, why don't I come back? "Jinx?" I turned around, shocked. There stood Kyd. I was screwed. I quickly entered my room, which was still messed up and not fixed after Kid Flash came, pulling out the drawer. My eyes widened as I found out my sketchbook wasn't there! Where was it then? I looked around, under the bed and everything. No sketchbook.
Kyd looked a little shocked, not believing what he was seeing. "Jinx?" He asked again, not being able to say more. I just totally ignored him, hoping he didn't yell or anything so that the others come. I really won't know what to do if that happens.
I facepalmed when I saw the sketchbook, on my bed. Of course! Kid Flash looked through it, that bastard! I snatched it and was to run when the others appeared, all at the door. "Jinx?" They asked.
I was going to get away, quickly! I ran through them and to the exit. I ran up to the emergency exit. The others were stuck where they saw me, still not really believing it, before they finally ran after me. Why was I running? This is my home. Why am I running away?
Billy was quickly reaching me soon. I was at the emergency exit, pulled the door, just after Gizmo clicked a button on that remote. The door was now locked, wonderful. I looked at the High Five, each of them. They were my friends, my first friends even though they could be stupid, strange, silent or loud. Still, I ran away. Why?
"Jinx?" They asked again. I froze.
"W-why did you run away?" Finally Gizmo asked while stuttering. I was not able to speak or reply, I couldn't. The stinging pain in my heart was worse. I felt my eyes start to burn, and soon the tears will come. I didn't want them to come!
Why did I leave? Why did I leave my only friends? How could I? Why?
Suddenly an arm wrapped around my waist.
