Save Me

Chapter 3

I wake up and roll out of bed clutching my side. I walk over to my mirror and lift up my shirt. Wow. My whole face is practically purple. Then there is of course the usual bruises. "I'm gonna need more makeup." I sigh to myself. I throw on some clothes, my converse, makeup, and fix my hair. I slip out of the house I'm walking down the street when I start to hear footsteps behind me. I ignore it at first then it gets louder. I turn around to see a man in all black with a hood on and he begins choking me I begin to panic. Surely someone has to be seeing this! I squeeze me eyes shut trying to block out the pain. I open them and he's gone... I look around and he's no where to be seen. He couldn't have got that far. I pull up my phone and look in the camera to see how bad the bruises are. There pretty terrible. I pull my hair to the front and hope no one notices.

I get to school and head straight to the bathrooms. I walk in and throw my bag on the floor and look in the mirror. Nothing. No bruises, scratches, scraps. There is absolutely nothing. Maybe I hit my head hard when I fell yesterday and am hallucinating. I'm probably paranoid. I walk into the cafeteria, I'm actually pretty early the doors just opened. I head to my table by the window and sit and start drawing. About five minutes later a cold liquid is splashed all over me and my sketchbook. I stand up and slam my hands on the table and my chair goes flying back. "What the fuck Maci!" I yell glaring daggers at a laughing girl. She abruptly stops laughing, "Oops." She says before busting out laughing again. "Don't be upset I was doing you a favor, you suck at drawing." She giggles. I look down at the angel I drew. It was an angel falling from the sky, her wings as black as night with feathers falling off. "Bitch." I mumble before closing my sketchbook splashing Maci with her own iced coffee.

"What'd you call me?" Maci says getting in my face. "Bitch, oh sorry I forgot your not the smartest one." I say looking her straight in the eye. "You little-" she gets cut off, "Heeey now no need to pick on the dumb kids, Brinley." Elora says pulling me away before I can see Maci's reaction. She takes me to the restroom and starts help to clean me up. She hands me some clothes to change into. "Thanks." I say. She nods in response I start to take off my shirt when I hear a gasp. Shit. "Brinley... What happened." I start to tear up. She runs over to me and pulls me into a hug she almost starts crying herself. When I flinch at her touch that pushes her over the edge. She starts crying with me. "Who did this?" She asks between sobs. "I can't say... Just promise me you won't tell anyone what you saw, please" I beg. "Of course." She says offering me a weak smile.

After that Elora helped me get dressed and cover everything with makeup. Then we went to class, my first class is art. I walk into class and immediately bump into someone. "Sorry!" I yell biting my lip from my painful bruises. "Oh hey Brinley, it's all good." I look up to see a winking Daniel. Wait Daniel... "You have this class?" I ask confused. "Yeeeah I've had it all year smart one." He says chuckling. Oh.. I should probably pay attention more. I sit down at a table next to a window... What can I say I like Windows. A few moments later someone drops their stuff on the table. "Hey cutie." Daniel says winking. "Is there something wrong with your eye?" I ask innocently. "No why?" He asks confused. "No reason." I reply with a smile. "Aahh I see what you did there chica, you think your soooo funny don't you?" He says glaring at me playfully. I burst out laughing. Wow I just realized I never laugh... Depressing.

"Dick head!" Bexley squeals shooting Quintin the finger. "Sorry princess I keep that put away during school." He replies smoothly I nearly choke on my orange juice. "Don't choke, swallow." Daniel winks at me causing me to choke even more. I finally regain my breath. I look over at Gabriel. He's been so quiet lately. "Sooo Brinley I was thinking you should come to this party at the lake this weekend, It will be held on red wood cliff." Daniel says wiggling his eyebrows. "Eeeh I don't kno-" "you have to." He says. "Fine I'll try." "Yay!" Yell all but Gabriel.

"Uhh mom can I go hang ou-" I'm cut off. "Yes go don't come back until Sunday night. I don't want you here for two days straight." She says sneering. I go up stairs and call Elora and ask her if I can stay the weekend at her place. Of course she says yes. She picks me up an hour later. We arrive at a house on the very outskirts of the town. Elora pulls into the dirt drive way. We walk into the house. "Look who couldn't stay away." Daniel says jumping off the couch. I look around and everyone is here. "Why is everyone here?" I ask. "Uhh cause we live here." Replies Kinsley. "Wait really..?.." I reply dumbfounded. "Yeeeeaah," Daniel says, "you can sleep with me if you like." He says winking. Oh lord help me...
