Right By My Side

A Long Night Pt 2

"Crystal!"

"Crystal!"

I opened my eyes and saw Jay above me. I was still in the grass Shane was sprawled out on the floor blood all over his face.

"What did you d-" I rolled over and puked on the floor. My hair had come out so Jay held it back for me. He wiped my mouth with his shirt and picked me off of the floor. My eyes grew heavy again and next thing I knew I was out of it again.

"Crystal we're here"

I opened my eyes to see that I was home. He looked down at me and he sighed with relief. He put me down on the couch. I got up and stumbled to my room.

"It's ok" Jay said gently "I'll run you a bath"

So I layed there for a while until Jay came down and got me. He lead me to the bathroom and waited outside. I closed the door and scrubbed till I felt clean. But I could still feel Shane. I wrapped myself in a towel and went into my bedroom. Quickly, I put on some pajamas. When I had finished there was a knock on my door.

"Can I come in?"

"Yes" I mumbled.

Jay slid in. He looked sad.

"I'm sorry Crystal. I never should have left you. I was so scared. I didn't want to lose you".

He came towards me and took my face in his hands. He placed his lips on mine. His hands moved from my face and began to move across my body. He was just about to take off my top when I pushed him away. I slapped him. I slapped him hard.

"Stop playing with me Jay" I screamed.

Tears trickled down my cheeks.

"Stop messing with my heart Jay. One minute were friends then the next your kissing me and wanting to make love! No! I can't deal with this anymore. I don't want to he just friends Jay I want to be more. I love you. But with you playing with my mind like this I don't know what we are anymore!"

"Crystal I-" He stammered still surprised.

"No Jay. GET OUT!"

"Crystal"

"GET OUT JAY"

He walked out of my room and shut the door. Tears fell down my cheeks. I was so angry with him. I climbed into bed and cried into my pillow for the rest of the night until I fell asleep.

In the morning I was woken up by the pitter patter of the rain. I got up and looked out the window. The sky was dark and the clouds were big and grey. There were no birds singing. Today was a gloomy day. The weather fitted mood exactly. I went back to bed a curled up in the sheets. My head was banging. I'd drunk so much alcohol last night. Soon it was unbearable. I walked dizzly out my room and downstairs to the kitchen. I searched through the cupboard to find some painkillers. When I'd finally found some I popped some out in my hand and took them. I was making my way upstairs when someone knocked on the door. I opened the door. Standing outside was Shane. His face was bloody. I screamed. He smirked as he stumbled slowly towards me. I ran upstairs and fell near the top but I got up and kept running. I turned to look back. He wasn't there. When I turned round again there he was. Smiling. It made me sick. I wanted the world to suck me up. He grabbed my arm. I screamed and screamed over and over.

"Crystal"

"Crystal"

My mum was cradling me in her arms.

"It was just a dream. Ok"

I buried my head in her chest and cried. My whole body shook with every sob. I must have took too many pain killers made it up to bed and then got knocked out.

"It's ok baby" Cooed my mum still cradling me in her arms.

She stroked my hair and kissed my forehead. She cradled me in her arms till I fell asleep. Then she kissed my forehead once more and left.
