Invisible ( COMPLETED)

Chapter 4

                    Pain. That's all I feel engulfing my body right now. The taste of copper takes over my mouth. I lift my aching hand to my lip and feel a thick liquid. Blood. I whimper as my eyes fully open and take in my surroundings. I then realize what had occurred before and rise up in a hurry. I scan the dark room to see if my attacker was still here. When I'm sure the coast is clear, I look at my watch. 3:15. Oh my God! I've spent most of the day unconscious in a janitors closet? I've only got an hour left of school.

                         I attempt to pick myself up off the dirty, grimy floor but fail miserably. I fall back down with a thump and groan.

"Help! Help somebody! Please..." a tear drops from my eye. Why does everything bad have to happen to me? Why can't I get a fucking break? I know I haven't cried in a while, so that one tear came as a shock to me. I wipe it away angrily. No. No weakness. As I make another attempt to get up off the floor the door to the janitors closet slowly makes a gap then a head pokes in.

     "Rae?" I squint to get a clearer look at the individual conveying my name.

"Aiden?" My breathing becomes shallow. I use all the energy I have to jump up and carry myself into his arms.

"Hey. What happened? I heard you screaming for help and-" His eyes open in awe as he takes in my appearance.

"Rae! What the fuck happened to your face?!"

I shake my head and look down at my now trembling hands.

"Could you just take me home please?" I've had enough of school for one day.

Aiden nods his head and puts his hand on the small of my back, leading me outside to his car. The now cool air hits me smack in my face and I must say it feels amazing. That's Texas whether for you- Bi-polar as hell. Aiden leads me to the passenger side of the car and opens the door for me. He then gets into the drivers side and looks at me with a huge amount of pity.

           I didn't even realize I fell asleep before we got to my stop. I try to open the door but Aiden touches my arm making me look at him with a curiously.

"I've got it..." He runs to the passengers side and slowly lifts me up bridal style. I wrap my arms around his neck and snuggle in closer to his chest, hearing the thumping of his heart, and the rising of his chest while getting a whiff of his heavenly cologne. I blush and close my eyes.

"Thanks, Aiden."

"Anytime." He lets me down and stands back with his hands stuffed in his pants pockets.

"Look, Rae. I'm going to be leaving for England with my dad soon to go visit my mom. I...I wanted to give you this." He takes one hand out of his pocket and hands me a crumbled up piece of paper. I look at him in confusion.

"A crumbled up piece of paper?"

"N-No! It's what's inside. My number. In case, you know, you need anything or just want to talk." He smiles then retreats back.

"So... call me later. Ok? Oh, and make sure you get to a doctor please. I don't want you looking any uglier than you already are." With that he sprints back to his car with a loud laugh following.

"You're one to talk, Mathews!"

I laugh and go inside my house, ready to just fall into bed.

I lock the door and turn to see my mom. A drink in hand, cigarette in the other, arms crossed.

"Who's that boy I just seen you with, Rae?" She slowly walks to the stinky couch that she never seems to get off of. I'm actually surprised I saw her standing when I walked in.

"No one. A neighbor."

She blows smoke rings into the air. " You're fucking him... aren't you?"

She looks at me then crackles a sickly laugh while coughing.

I pale fast and shake my head furiously. "N-No! He's our neighbor."

"You fucking whore. Liar! Go to your room!"

I run past her while I tremble with anger and head upstairs to my bedroom.

                     I slam the door and collapse on my bed staring at the white ceiling. I close my eyes, trying to get some much needed rest when my laptop beeps.

'You've got a message....You've got a message.'

I roll off the bed and crawl to my laptop.

New Message (1)

                         I click it and read the contents. It read:

Cool_Dude101: Hi Rae.

I stare at the screen with a blank face. Cool_Dude101? Is it Aiden? No. Aiden obviously has a life and wouldn't go to the extremes of making a chat room account. I bite my lip and question If I should reply. Well this is the reason I made the account, right?

RaeOfSunshine: Hi, who Ru?

I wait for a reply, thinking it would take a while, but I'm surprised when another message turns up on the screen.

Cool_Dude101: Daniel. But you can call me Danny.

RaeOfSunshine: Well Hi Danny. Nice to kind of meet you lol. Asl?

Cool_Dude101 is Typing...

Cool_Dude101: 17; Male (obviously) lol , and Dallas,Texas. and u???

I smile excitingly. Today is just the day of making friends.

RaeOfsunshine: 17; female (obviously) !; and Texas!!!! :D Dallas to be exact.

Cool_Dude101 has logged off.

Dammit.

I sigh and close my laptop and hop back into bed. I throw the covers over my head, forgetting completely about cleaning up my injuries. I fall into a deep sleep, half dreaming about Aiden and half dreaming about this Mysterious Daniel person.
