Affection at last

Chapter 15

"Make sure you lock all the doors before you go to bed"
"I will grandma"
"Okay I'll see you later"
My grandma said as she kissed me on my forehead and walked out the door with her boyfriend, there're going out tonight so I have the house all to myself. I'm probably just going to sit in my room and watch movies for my last night here, I'm also going to try and pack away all the stuff my grandma bought me. I love her to death but clothes are the least of my problems. I walk to the kitchen and grab the house phone and walk onto the balcony, I sat in the chair and dialed Stephanie's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Steph"
"Hey! How's Florida?"
"It's great, I'm debating if I should make up another excuse so I can stay here longer"
"To be honest I would too, who wouldn't want to stay in a mansion on the beach"
"How's everything back home?"
There was a long pause.
"Hello?"
"Nothing really, the sky is still grey and cafeteria food is still discussing"
"How's Chris?"
There was another long pause.
"Steph?"
"He's great- I'll call you later"
Before I could say anything else she hung up, I sat there and stared at the phone. My heart started beating fast and I dialed Chris's number.
"hello?"
A guy's voice answered but it wasn't Chris.
"Who's this"
I asked in a confused tone.
"You called me, honey"
I recognized the voice right away and hung up, what was Adam doing with Chris phone? The phone started ringing and it was Chris number, I declined the call quickly and put the phone back in the kitchen. My heart started beating fast again so I decided to go for a walk on the beach, the sun was setting as I walked along the shoreline. The sand was still wet from the rain so I sat under a palm tree nearby, I watched the sky turn for light to dark. The sky filled with stars and I smiled at the sight of it, I wish my life could be like this all the time. 4 months ago I was a girl who only had one friend and sat at the back in all her classes and wore track pants and a tank top everyday and now I have a boyfriend who is more popular than anybody at hickory high, the cheerleaders stopped picking on me- expect tiffany she'll die if she doesn't make fun of me at least once a day and I have a wardrobe that doesn't make me look like I live in a retirement home. I have everything I've been dreaming for since the 8th grade, the only problem is that my boyfriend's best friend is a psychopath that thinks it's my fault that Chris is in a wheel chair and probably wants to slit my throat in my sleep. I don't want to stay here just because it's beautiful and I don't have to go school, I'm sacred to go home. I don't know if Adam is on drugs or someone in his family just died but he's turning into a mental patient. And for some reason he's taking is anger out on me. I get up from under the palm tree and walk back to the house, I hear the phone ringing and rushed too it.
"Hello?"
"I knew it was you"
It feels like my heart just dropped out of my chest, I forgot to look who was calling and now I'm on the phone with a psychopath on the other end.
"Did you run away from me?"
I stayed silent
"You can run but you can't hide"
"What do you want Adam?"
"I want to know who you are, I go away for a couple months and I come back and my best friend is dating a stranger"
"I'm not a stranger, I've known you guys for years"
"So do you put all your boyfriends in wheel chairs, or is it just Chris"
"What happened to Chris wasn't my fault"
"Sure it wasn't, but I'll let you in on a little secret. What happens to you, will be my fault. It's too bad you'll need more than a wheel chair"
I hung up the phone and plugged it out the wall, I ran upstairs to my room and got in my bed. I pulled the covers over my face and held my pillow tight, tears dropped from my face to my pillow until I feel asleep.
