Life As I Know It (UPDATING SOON ... HOPEFULLY ... SORRY)

Chapter Two

Chapter Two: The Fall

Jaxon Dale Conway

   It might happen today. To who is what I really want to know. I hate seeing people upset and torn apart, though that’s what Maddie, Josh, Rebecca and Lilly are planning. But Maddie, Josh and Rebecca always do it. No matter what the cause is.

   I couldn’t sleep last night, thinking that something is going to happen and I don’t know who to or when. I was up all night worrying about Indie just in case it was to be aimed at her but I can’t be sure that she’s the target. It could happen to anyone, anyone in the school.

   I know some people may hate me at the school, well probably a lot because I care about Indie, but even though I’m hated by them, doesn’t mean I didn’t care if they got hurt. If something was wrong or they looked upset, I still asked them if they were ok, even if they didn’t like me all that much. At least I show I have respect and that I care for everyone, no matter what they may think of me. Anyway enough of that.

   I was about to message Indie to tell her what was going on but I couldn’t, as much as I wanted to, I knew I couldn’t. The only message I sent her was that I might be late to school. She did ask why but I didn’t tell her just in case I’d blurt it out, and if I did that, I’d be in deep shit that’s for sure.

  I wonder why Jaxon is coming to school late. Is it because of what happened last night? Is he ok? Was something going on? Was he told something and isn’t allowed to tell anyone about it? It was likely but I can never be so sure.

   I really don’t know. I have been messaging him but no answer. I think I might just call him to see if that works.

   No answer. “Come on Jaxon.” I tried again…… still no answer. “God damn it.”

   I did my usual routine in the morning, though I still had the thought of the nightmare in my head. I didn’t really know what was going to happen, but as much pain there might be, I really wanted to know. In that nightmare I was being aimed at. I wanted to know what was the cause of it and if it’s going to become true. Is that nightmare supposed to be a warning? Perhaps it is but how am I supposed to know. It’s not like I can get proof that it is going to happen. I won’t know until it happens, if it happens. Now I’m worried. Is Jaxon not telling me something? Does he know what’s going to happen?

   God I sometimes hate how I think so much. I moan. Most things get to me so easily. My thinking explains why I can’t sleep properly at night. My brain doesn’t want me to go to sleep though my body is telling me to.

   I didn’t want to go to school with Mum this time. She has been getting on my nerves all weekend.

   The last messages I got from Jaxon was when he was with Lilly, Maddie, Josh and Rebecca. That day was Friday night, we didn’t end up meeting up on Saturday and it is now Monday. Jaxon knows something, but what could it be? Or is he just not talking to me? Is he ignoring me for a reason? I sigh. What could it possibly be?

   On my way to school, I stopped by Jaxon’s house. I had only been there once and I only just remember where it is and how to get there.

   His Mother opened the door. “Hi, can I help you?” she asked.

   “Um uh, hi I’m Indie, I was just wondering if Jaxon was home.” I said in a shy and nervous voice, staring at the ground.

   “No he has already left for school. Would you like me to let him know you’ve come around?” She asked.

   “No it’s ok. Thanks anyway.”

   “You’re welcome sweet heart.” She said as I walked away from the door and back down the path.
