The accident

Chapter 6

"Oso, oh my god you're okay"

Andrea screams with joy.

"Oso, where the hell were you what happend?"

My coach demands. I sit them all down and I tell them I got flustered and messed up in the course and I was so angry that I skied away and just forgot about the time. I couldn't tell them the truth, especially after what happened with Colten. I was worried that if I told them they might think I'm insane or kick me off the race. So I lied, I lied to there faces making it seem like nothing when in truth what happened was everything to me. It meant so much danger that I couldn't even take it in. As they ask me questions and I give them simple answers I think about how scared Colten was. I decided I would find out what was happening , I had to.

As I lay in my bed thinking about everything that's happened I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in I whisper."

Colten's head peaks in, I don't know why he's there but I'm happy he is because I can finally ask him what the hell was going on. As he slowly tiptoes over to my bed and sits on the opposite side of me I can tell he knows what I'm going to ask and he doesn't seem happy about it.

"Colten what is going in?"

He lets out a sigh, his shoulders slouch forward and he clasps his hands together.

"Oso what happened to Jacqueline wasn't an accident."

I sit there shocked, what did he mean it wasn't an accident.

"Of course it was an accident" I insist not caring what he said.

"Oso I won't lie to you, what happened wasn't an accident."

I start shacking my head, I refuse to listen to him. What does he know? He wasn't even there!

"Oso stop fighting me please."

I hadn't realized but I was thrashing around trying to get away. His grip was so tight I couldn't fight him so I stop. My Brady is still ridged but I sit there and force myself to ask him the question I don't want answered.

"Why was she killed."

The silence seems to continue forever the few minutes turned into hours, turned it to weeks witch turned into years. I hadn't realized that I was holding my breath until my lungs start to burn, I exhale slowly. At the same time Colten opens his mouth and I didn't expect what he was about to say.

"Oso Jacqueline was murdered because of you"

"what the hell do you mean she was murdered because of ME!"

"Oso there's a boy, I don't know what his name is but he wants to hurt you."

"what, why!"

"I don't know Oso."

"What the hell do you mean you don't know, you're telling me there is a boy out there who murdered my friend in order to hurt me and YOU DON'T KNOW WHY!"

I scream, it wasn't a loud scream but it was the type of scream that tears your throat apart. The kind of scream that shows all you're fear and frustration and anger you have ever had. As I continue to scream like a crazy person Colten puts his hand over my mouth. I fight back I bite his hand until I taste blood. He pulls away and I take my chance. I run, I run as fast as I could I ran out of the hotel room and out the hotel. I hear Colten's foot steps behind me, him screaming my name begging me to come back, I don't care though all I know is that I have to get away from him. I don't know why but the feeling of safety I once felt is deteriorating, as I run farther more and more of the feeling leaves me. It's pitch black outside and I can't see where I'm going I slip on some ice and I cut the side of my head. I continue on not caring that my vision is starting to go red, not caring that my body is screaming at me to stop. I see lights coming at me, I dive into the snow bank nearly missing the car that almost hit me. I jumped back up not caring that I almost died, I had to keep running I don't know why but I had to. As I race down the street in the darkness the light of the village gone. Suddenly I feel something hit me. I fal to the ground my head hits the cement so hard my vision goes splochy. I realize that it wasn't something but someone who had hit me. As I try to get back up I realize that the person is pinning me to the ground. As I start to fight adrenalin pumping through my body I try to see his face. It's to dark to make anything out but I can tell its a boy. As I to start screaming,I hear foot steps coming towards me. I fight harder than I did before kicking and thrashing like my life depended on it and for all I know it did. Suddenly I hear Colten's voice screaming

"Oso, Oso"

Suddenly I see another black shape ram into my attacker. They go sprawling to the ground as they fight I lay there not able to get up. My head still swimming I listen to the sound of the fight happening right beside me. Suddenly it stops I turn my head to see that Colten is on the ground just barley awake. As I look up ready to see who my attacker is I hear him say.

"I will kill you oso, you thought you're friends death was bad, yours wil be much worse!"
