Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 3

I jumped as I felt a warm hand touch my icy cold skin. 

Panic rose inside of me as I felt my body freeze in terror. I tried to crane my neck to see who was behind me let out a moan when I realised I couldn't. My neck was killing me. My shoulders were killing me. My entire body was killing me, I felt pain when attempting to do the tiniest move. Sleeping on this stone hard bench was defiantly a bad idea.

But that didn't matter to me. All that mattered was the fact that I could be in a lot of danger right now. Who was behind me? It is Geo, coming to tell me how sorry he is? Or is it some paedophile who wants to kidnap me? 

"You're not Lucy are you?"

I gasped when my name was mentioned. I didn't recognise this voice, and it defiantly wasn't Geo. But this person seemed to know me. For all I know it could be a fan. 

I didn't reply, but the boy still waited for my response. A smile stretched out on my face when he carried on waiting. There's no way I'm going to reply. 

"Are you in pain?" The other voice asked.

I shook my head, but afterwards groaned which obviously revealed to them that I was defiantly in pain. The two strange people then stood in front of me which caused me to look up at them with a confused frown. They must be fans, I've never seen them in my life. 

"Hey." The boy smiled. There was something about his smile which comforted me, it was the type of smile which looked genuine and warm. Yet I couldn't bring myself to smile back. "I'm Mario and this is Ariel. We're friends of Geo." This time I managed to smile. If they're Geo's friends then they're my friends too. "Why aren't you in his house?"

My smile instantly disappeared when a wave of depression overcame me. I think Ariel noticed as she gave me a look full of sympathy as she knelt down beside me. Mario stayed where he was as his concerned eyes stared deeply into mine.

"I thought he was behind me but when I turned around he wasn't." Was all I managed to say. I didn't want to go into too much detail, I knew it was only going to make me break into tears and look like a fool. 

"Mario, should we take her to his house or not?"

"NO!" I interrupted before Mario could even open his mouth. "I'm sorry but I can't. I want to go home, I don't trust him anymore."

Ariel let out a sigh and stared at the floor. "You need to talk to Geo before you leave." 

"Geo isn't a bad person, i'll tell you that for nothing." Mario added. "He has a temper but he's really caring, especially when it comes to you."

I frowned, unsure of how he knows that Geo is caring towards me. I mean there's no denying it, he acts as though I'm his little sister. He's way too over protective over me, but I secretly love it, no matter how many times I pretend that he's annoying me.

Ariel grabbed my hand and helped me stand up. I tried to not show how much pain I was in but I must have looked like an idiot. I stood up awkwardly and tried my very best to keep a straight face when I felt my bones click. Mario helped me walk and although Ariel tried her very best to make a conversation with me, I couldn't help but stare at the floor the entire journey in silence. Tears even began to trickle down my cheeks at one point, but Ariel and Mario clearly pretended they didn't notice. From the corner of my eye I could see Ariel staring at me in worry.

It made me feel happy that these two care about me. I've never met them in my life, yet they're acting as though I'm a good friend of there's. 

But that doesn't mean that I don't want to go home.
