Skylar hasn't been at school for two days now and I'm starting to get worried. Ever since that party Friday night I haven't talked to her.
"Bye mom!" I yelled before walking out the door
I got in my car and drove down to Spade Street and found Skylar's house.
I honked the horn but no one came to the door, then I got out and went to the door and knocked but still I got no answer. Worried, I went around to the back where Skylar's window was and opened it, then crawled in.
Skylar was lying on her bed strapped down, she had bruises all over her face and arms, there was blood on her body and in the carpet and when I checked, she barely had a pulse.
"Skylar. Skylar, Skylar wake up!" I said shaking her
"Wh-who is it"
"It's Blake your best friend. Are you okay?"
"You have no idea how glad I am to see you, Blake. Please don't leave me here you have to get me out." she cried
"I'm gonna call 911."
"No! My mom will be back any minute. She went to get a latte from the cafe."
"Shit! Let me go move my car where she won't see it and I'll be right back." I said
"Okay but Blake, please hurry."
I got in my car and drove around the block and parked.
"911 what's your emergency?"
"My best friend Skylar Hayes is being beaten I need an ambulance and cops. She barely has a pulse."
"Okay, what's the address?"
"6104 Spade Street" I said then got out running as fast as I could back to my best friend.
As soon as I'd crossed the lawn and got to Skylar's window, her mom came speeding down the street. I quickly climbed in the window and shut it.
"Blake, thank God you're-"
"Shhh. You're moms here. Don't say a word, cops are on their way."
"Thank you." she said and then layed back.
"You're welcome, I'm gonna hide in the closet inside the secret door we had."
"Okay, go she's opening the door."
I went into her closet and slid the piece of sheetrock back then got back there.
I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
"Oh Skylar, it's mommy dear." she said "How's my little bitch?" then she slapped Skylar right in the face. I cringed.
"We don't have any intruders do we?" she asked walking around Skylars room.
"There wouldn't happen to be a little girl named Blake here, had there?" she said then snatched back the curtains.
She was looking in the closet now and I was thinking I was a goner when out of no where....
DING- DONG!!!
Thank you Jesus! I crawled out the window and went straight to a police car.
"She's in this window." I said
"Mrs. Hayes, we'd like to have a look inside your house." the officer stated "It'd be much obliged if you'd stand out here with Officer Dawson."
"But sir, I have nothing inside." she said
"It's just a safety check, ma'am."
"Please do not go inside the upstairs room on the right, my daughter is very sick with Tuberculosis and shouldn't have any contact with germs."
"Yes ma'am."
I ran and crawled back in the window before she saw me and when I was sure that Mrs. Hayes was standing with the officer, I opened Skylar's bedroom door and found the police officer.
"Are you the young lady that called on behalf of your best friend?" he asked
"Yes sir, she's in here." I said.
We walked into Skylar's room and as soon as he saw the blood and my best friends state, he grabbed his walkie-talkie and said
"We have a code 6. Abused teen girl, 17, badly bruised face, lacerations to the arms and chest, pulse is steady, but weak, we need an ambulance as soon as possible."
"Ma'am, I'm an officer, Are you okay? Can you hear me?" the officer asked
No answer.
"Skylar, it's Blake, please wake up, the police are here."
She barely opened her eyes before they rolled back into her head.
"She's going quick, we've gotta get her some medical help fast' it'll be at least 20 minutes before an ambulance arrives." he said frantically
I checked the time on my phone. 7:58am.
"My mom." I said
"Excuse me?" he asked
"My mom s an E.R. nurse and she doesn't have to be at work until 10 this morning, would you like for me to call her? She can be here in 3 minutes."
"Yes please. But If you want your friend here to live you'd better tell her to get here fast." he said
