The Other Biersack

When A Killer Calls.

I dragged my aching body through the halls. Gripping my books tight. My world is falling apart around me and I don't have the strength to fix it. I stopped at the end of the hall where Miyas locker was. It all kept replaying in my head. I looked at her locker, covered in cards and flowers. But there was a boy standing there. I've never seen him before. He was cleaning out her locker.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" I asked as I approached him.

"Um I don't think so." He replied without even looking at me. "Did you..?" He pointed to the picture of Miya, Rina, and I. I nodded my head.

"She was an awesome girl." He handed me the pictures.

"Yeah, she was my best friend." I looked at the floor.

"Oh how rude of me, I'm Devon." He shut the locker.

"I'm-" "I know." He said cutting me off.

"So you knew Miya?" He nodded.

"We met the first day of school. She was my favorite lesbian." I laughed.

"Yeah she was pretty cool. Just sucks we left on bad terms."

"How come?" He says pushing the tash can into the lunch room.

"I have no idea. Things got weird quick. She changed. Then her blog just threw me over the edge and I snapped." I started sobbing.

"Awh it's okay. Think of the happy times." He pulls me in for a hug.

"Thanks." I sniffle.

"I gotta get to class. I'll see you later." He walks out the door. I walk over the a table and sit down. I don't feel like eating. Rina sits across from me.

"Dylin, are you okay?" I didn't say a word just noded. "Are you busy after school?" I shook my head.

"Andy's working late tonight. Can you stay with me?"

"Of course." She grabbed my hand.

My phone woke me up. "Hello?"

"Hi, Dylin."

"Who's this?"

"Guess."

"Barney." I giggled.

"No, try again."

"I'm not a fan of games Mitch."

"But the games are the best part."

"Mitch, I can barely hear you. Call me tomorrow?"

"This isn't Mitch."

"Then who is this?!?"

"Your worst nightmare." I hung up and texted Rina. Telling her to hurry. I waited about 10 minutes before Rina busted through the front do.

"Are you okay??" She grabs my shoulders.

"I'm okay it was just some sick fuck playing games with me."

"Maybe we should call the police. What was the number?"

"It was private." I started pacing. "Who would even do this?"

"Calm down Ray we can go to the police in the morning." She rubs my shoulder to reassure me that I'm okay. We headed up to my room. Milo layed at the end of my bed. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed my forehead. Before I knew it I was out.

I woke up to the sound of my phone dinging. It was a text. "NO COPS OR SHE DIES." I could feel the knots forming in my stomach. I felt like I was going to vomit. I quickly made my way to the bathroom. The room was spinning and got hotter and hotter. I kneeled down, head in the trashcan and I feel my hair get pulled back. After what felt like forever I was finally done. I picked myself up to brush my teeth. "Let's go lay down." Rina pulls my shirt. I follow her to the bedroom. "But it's 6 am. We have school." I walk over to my closet. "Oh no, you're sick."

"I'm fine I sniffle."

" 'I'm fine' never means you're fine."

"Sometimes it does. We can't be okay so we settle for fine." I put my shirt on. "Come on get ready, or we're gonna be late."

It's the end of 5th period and my head is pounding. I just wanna go home. After everything that's happened I'm really worried about Mitch. Today's the first day Kellin has been to school since.. Miya.. the sheriff is coming in today to talk to some of us. I walked up to Kellins locker. "Where's your little girlfriend?"

"She's not my girlfriend okay. It was a one time thing." He shuts his locker.

"Look I'm sorry. Both of us are going through a rough time right now and I just wanted you to know I'm only a phone call away."

"Oh yeah thanks I got the memo. Just stay away from me psycho." He walked away before I could reply. Why did he call me psycho. I was only joking.

"Hey, Kammie."

"Still mad?"

"No. Kellin just called me psycho, do you have any idea why."

"Maybe it was them texts ypu sent him last night." What?

"What texts?"

"I don't know you sent them."

"No. No I didn't."

"Then I have no clue why don't you ask him? I gotta get to class." Fuuckk.

"Yo, Dylin." Devon walks up to me.

"Hi."

"You seem stressed. Something wrong?"

"Just a lot on my plate."

"You can tell me."

"Can you keep a secret."

"I love secrets."

"Meet me after school I'll explain everything."

"Ok ok don't wanna be late gotta blast."

I decided to ditch this class. Who needs photography anyway? I sat down in a stall and leaned my head up against the wall. I heard voices. Arguing. I looked though the crack in the stall door. It was Kellin and Lacey.

"How long did you think we could keep this up?" Lacey almost yelled.

"Relax she won't find out."

"No I quit. I want out Kellin. I'm done lying to her. Either you tell her or I do."

"Oka babe." Babe? What? Are Kellin and Lacey a thing? Oh. My. God. They kissed and went their separate ways. I can't take all this crazy.

Finally the last class of the day. Just another 2 minutes and I'm free. I'll still be miserable though. When the bell rang I walked to the parking lot and sat down on a bench. Rina came running up to me.

"Dylin I fucking love you. You need to know that." She doesn't give me time to respond before she kisses me. I didn't pull away. I didn't want to. She pulled away and stepped aside. I stood up and my world fell apart. Worse than it already was. Mitch was standing in front of his truck with at least 20 roses. He dropped them, got in his truck and left. Fuuuuckkkk.
