The Girl Who Cried Save Me

Chapter 15

 

   The next day I woke up glad that it was a Friday. I decided to go to school, so I hopped in the shower and went on with my morning routine.

   "Finally. I had to pee", Emily grumbled once I walked out of the bathroom. I chuckled when I saw her messed up hair.

  "Nice hair", I teased as I pulled on my shoes. She closed the door. "Shut up", I heard her grumble from inside the bathroom.

   "I'll see you later, Em. I have school", I said. I heard the toilet flush and the sink run.

  "Wait", she said. The water turned off and she walked out, drying her hands on her pajamas.

   "Please be careful, Jess. Call me if you need anything. Or call Mike again", she said. I nodded.

   "Of course, don't worry", I assured her, even though I wasn't so brave myself.

   I had absolutely no idea how Matt would react. I mean I pushed him over and kneed his jewels.

   I'm probably screwed but this is my last month and I'm not living it in fear.

  "Bye Jess", Emily yawned and snuggled into the blankets. I laughed and walked out with my backpack.

   "Whoops", a voice said as I crashed into them. I held my breath when I saw it was my Dad.

   I had almost made him spill his coffee.

  "I-im so sorry", I said. My Dad shrugged. "Takes two to Tango", he said.

   I was actually expecting him to yell at me for being such a mistake or even hit me.

   So yeah, I was a little shocked when he didn't.

   "Got to go", he said and walked past me, into his and my mother's room.

   I snapped out of my little shock and kept walking downstairs. I was so confused.

  This wasn't like him. He never spoke to me before. He'd just ignore my existence.

   I let the thoughts bounce around in my head as I walked to school.

  I was feeling okay as I went to my locker and grabbed my stuff. I turned around and held my breath when I saw Matt walking this way.

   He glared at me and knocked his shoulders with mine. I sighed in relief once he was gone.

   I'm alive, I thought in victory.

   I'm alive, I thought with a frown.

  I shook my head and headed towards my first period class.

   The bell rang as I sat down in my seat up front. The teacher came in and took attendance, then he spoke.

  "Good Morning everyone", he greeted, earning a few 'good morning's' back. "Well, we all know school is almost coming to an end, and you seniors will have graduation", he said.

   I bit my lip. Only two months until graduation. But I won't be there.

   I sighed to myself and zoned out for most of the discussion. I didn't want to let my mind cloud with thoughts because one leads to another and eventually I'm somehow brought back to the topic of death.

   It's better to just not feel at all.

   Right now I was in the hallways, putting my stuff away for lunch. I was the only one here.
