Masked

Chapter Twenty-Two Confessions

I can't believe that me, Max, and Jack were chased through the damn woods yesterday. I hope to god that Allie didn't see us. But by the look on her face when we arrived at school said that she did. I have to stay away from her for as long as I could. I can't say anything to her about why we were chased. But it kind of is really funny. I just wish that I could tell myself that things are ok in my life. That I don't have to listen to everything people say to me or around me. Jack and Max have had the biggest influence on me. I guess because they know more about what's going on. I feel more comfortable being near them and talking to them. More than my new shrink that has no idea what I have to go through everyday of my life. The only reason why Max knows so much is because he found my journal. The one I threw away to get away from all this that is going on in the world.

At this very moment I am walking down the halls to get to my next class. When I turned the corner I bumped into Allie. No way I'm getting out of this one. I was going to say something when Mark came over and started to talk to Allie. I took that as my moment to walk away from her before she says one thing to me. I wish that I could say everything that I wanted to, but I can't tell her anything.

I was a little confused as to why Allie was looking at me all day. We have three classes together and then we have lunch together. It looked like she was trying to stare me down. But when Max walked over to the table, she looked away. I wasn't long before Max got up to throw out his trash and see Allie looking at us. He knows what I know. It kills him just as much as it kills me. We want to tell her, but that would hurt her.

When school was finally over. Jack, Max, and I all walked out to be meet with Allie and Mark. I watched as Allie looked at me then at Max. LIke he was trying to find out why the hell he was still hanging out with me and Jack. I looked Max and then back at Allie. All that was written on her face was confusion. I whispered for Max to go with them. The last thing that I saw when they left was all confusion on both Max's and Allie's face.

I told Max to tell her whatever he wanted. Nothing about the murders or things like that. But as to why we were running through the woods away from the damn cops. Time for someone to tell someone. I just need to find the right time to tell everyone the truth.
