Saving Him

Chapter 32

It's been two days since I first met Marshal. Ever since that day we haven't spoken, or tried to communicate. I ended up back home, but I ignored my mom by staying in my room. Beth tried to text and call me but I ignored them. Colton came to my house one day to see if I was okay, but I just let him sit outside my door, and didn't respond to him. I haven't gone to school either, and that wasn't normal for me. When someone texted me from school asking where I was, I always just told them I was sick. I even told my mom that this morning. She tried to come into my room, but I locked my door. And it's not like I could ignore Mason or Ryder. Their both gone, and they can't text me. That's got me really worried. They could be in serious danger, and no one would know. Officer John came by to talk to me, but my mom just told him I'm not home, I went out of state to a relatives house for the week. I guess he believed that, because he hadn't tried to show back up yet.

I opened my laptop up, and went onto Netflix. This is basically all I've been doing for the past two days. Watching my favorite tv show, and horror movies.

I typed in the search bar for insidious. Everyone says it's a scary movie, but it's honestly not. I find it funny when people jump at the suppose "scary" scenes. I laugh at them, and then they just normally glare at me. What? Don't judge. I love horror movies.

I got about five minutes into it, before there was a knock on my bedroom door. Ig noted it at first, trying to give that person a hint I don't want to talk to them. I pressed play on my movie again, but the person knocked again, making me pause my movie and getting up. I walked over to the door, unlocked it, opened it, just to reveal nothing. Not a single person.

I went to close the door, but something made a weird scratching noise. I looked down to see a box sitting on the floor. I picked it up and read the little note that's tucked under the yellow ribbon.

Casey-  This is for you, I hope you enjoy it. I will see you soon.
-Unknown.

Okay these unknown people really have to quit doing this.

I walked back over to my bed, and sat the box down. I slowly took off the yellow ribbon, then the silverish white bow.

I undid the tape that taped the box flaps together, and opened the sides.

In the box laid an off white material. I pulled it out of the box to get a better view of it.

The off white material ended up being a dress. It looked like it would be knee length. The dress has sequins around the heart shape top, and on the part where it slowly tightens around the waist. I don't know how to describe it, but perfect.

In the bottom of the box laid a folded white piece of paper.

Casey- i figured you read the first note, and you've know looked at the dress. I hope you really like/enjoy it this Friday. See you soon.

What is this suppose to mean?

I folded the dress back up, and paced it into the box like it was when I first opened it. I sat beside it, and pulled my phone out. Still no text or calls from anyone. I looked at the time, and it's only nine in the morning. I guess I can make it to school. I mean it's Thursday. I should probably make an appearance.

I opened the locker, and stuffed everything in there besides the things I need. I grabbed my books and shoved them into my bag. I closed the locker back, zipped up my bag, and made my way down the hall to my class.

Some girl looked at me with a shock expression when I turned the corner.

"Um may I help you?" I asked her.

"No. But your here. Everyone thought you disappeared just like Ryder, and Mason." She said.

"Oh. No I'm still here." I said upset, remembering those two boys. I walked passed her not saying another word.

I reached the door to my classroom, opened it up, and walked in. Gasp were heard around, people pointed at me, and whispers were shared.

Even my own teachers looked shocked I was here.

"Stop looking at me. I'm alive. I'm here. So just stop." Everyone put their hands down, and went dead silent. I walked back to the back of the room and say in my desk. I pull my hood over my head, and laid my head down.

My teachers didn't question me, but continued on with the class. Thank you.

This is a filler chapter, so sorry it's short and boring..
