Silence

Part three: punctuation

Sorry about. Sometimes my heart distracts me from what I'm supposed to be doing.

My Tuesday continued on and I headed to the last class of the day. Pre Calc. This class was hell. She was in this class though. I only made it through because I knew that at any point I could turn around and she'd make a funny face and everything would be okay. I walked in and headed to my seat expecting to see her face with a fake frown as she started working. But when I looked back to her seat she wasn't there. Assuming she would be coming into class late I worked on the class work and lost myself for a while. Before I knew it class was almost over and she still wasn't there. I grabbed my phone to text her to see what was going on and I saw that she had texted me. I opened up the messages expecting some excuse as to why she wouldn't be in class but what I saw was the last thing I could have imagined.

My heart sank as I read what had been written.
From Her xx:
Hey. I just wanted to apologize for everything I've ever done to you. This isn't your fault. Im so sorry.
The bell rang and I ran out of the room. This building that held so much of my life was closing in on me as I frantically ran to get my jacket. My friends tried to stop me but I had no time to waste. In the blink of an eye I was calling her and running to the only place I could think of. This room held so many secrets. I sat at the piano and nervously fiddled with the keys as the phone rang for what felt like an eternity. No answer.

I had no clue what was happening but I knew whatever it was, it was very bad. I tried her cell phone again when she answered. All I could hear wad screaming and maniacal laughing. Then the line went dead. My heart was pounding and all I could think of was where the hell she was and how I was going to get to her. As my brain spun in circles I felt my phone buzz. I looked down to see a message from her.

From Her xx:
Let the games begin.

I didn't know what was happening. But boy was I scared.
