The Story of Rachel Vaughn |Completed|

Chapter 12

Run. It was the only thing I was thinking. Run. But from what? I look behind me and there's no one to be seen. Run. Why can't I stop?

"Rachel." A voice said echoing.

"Rachel." It said louder.

"Rachel!"

I sat up in my bed and rubbed my temples. I look over and see Mitch sitting on the side of the bed with a hand on my leg.

"Are you ok?" He asks.

"Yeah, why are you asking?"

"You looked like you were running just laying down."

"Oh....it was just a dream." I say with a reassuring smile. He returns one.

I hear my phone go off and I reach over to the nightstand to get it. I read all of my notifications.

Reminder: Nationals Today!!!!!!

"Shit!" I exclaim.

"What?" Mitch says concerningly.

"I have Nationals today!"

"For dance?"

"Yes. Can you please drive me there?" Looking at the clock. 8:15. If I don't leave in ten minutes I won't be able to perform.

"Of course let me go get ready. Don't worry I won't take forever." He says as I get up and put on some clothes. I didn't bother deciding what to wear so I just grabbed whatever. I dial Anthony's number.

"He-."

"Anthony I need a huge favor....again. Can you please go in my house and get that costume I showed you the other day, and my dance bag. I totally forgot about Nationals.

"Oh shit! Yeah ok but how I'm I going to give it to you?"

"Get the stuff and go to the park. I'll be there in a couple minutes."

"Ok I'm walking  to your house as we speak."

"Thank you so much, I don't know where I would be without you!"

"You would be screwed lol. Ok go get ready I'll be at the park in five minutes." He hung up.

I grabbed my makeup and put it in a shopping bag along with a brush and bobby pins. I walk outside and saw Mitch and Scott already in the car.
Why was Scott going? Mitch was just going to drop me off? I thought in my head. Maybe they had to do something.

"Where to?" Scott asks as I climb into the car.

"We have to stop somewhere first." I say. I tell him the name of the park and he puts it into his GPS.

I explain to them why we had to go to the park.

"Oh is it that guy who came and brought your meds?" Scott asks.

"Yeah, I called him and he's bringing my costume and stuff. He should already be at the park."

"You guys would be a cute couple you know." Mitch says.

"Ok let's get this straight. He is my best friend and nothing more. He doesn't like me in that way and I don't like him in that way." I say slowly so they would understand.

"How do you know that he doesn't like you in that way?" Scott asks looking at me through the rear view mirror.

"Because.....I just know." I say weakly.
