She's My Angel

Chapter 8

Ophelia's POV

I had managed to get away from Rhett's house. I simply told him that there was a friend emergency and Beth was coming to get me. He did not like it but he did not try to stop me from leaving which I will take. I just did not want him or anybody seeing these white things practically popping out of my skin. 

I promised to text him and he said he would call tonight. In a way I really did not want to leave but I know that it is for the best right now. 

"So are you going to tell me why I had to pick you up from Rhett's?" Beth had obviously been holding that question back for a while. 

"Well it's just a long story. I'll tell you about it later. So anything new?" I could she wanted to dig more but thankfully decided against it. 

"Chase cheated on Lacey." I was shocked. Not that he cheated but that this was the first time I was hearing about it. 

"Why did no one tell me?" She glances over at me and sighs. 

"Lia you know how Lacey is she does not like about things like this. The boys don't even know. The only reason I know is because I was with her when we caught him but now you know." 

"I'm going to kill him." Beth laughs causing me to look over at her, "I am serious. I am going to kill him." 

"Honey get in line as soon as the boys find out it is going to be a competition of who can kill Chase first. My money is on Logan. Poor fellow." I nod in agreement. We all knew that Logan was in love with Lacey ever since he saved her from being bullied. Lacey was just oblivious.

"Tonight we should have a movie night." I needed my friends tonight. 

~~~~~

I thought tonight was going to be fun. Loads of laughs and having alone time with my friends, I was wrong. 

Everything went wrong so fast. Hunter's dad called him into the office even though it was 11:00. Logan found out about Chase cheating on Lacey and ranted for 3 hours straight, Brian had to actually restrain him so he would not go hunt down Chase. Beth tried to keep everybody calm and focused on the movie but her attempts were failing. 

To make matters worse, I was in pain. Not the kind of pain like I stubbed my toe, or I broke my arm. This pain felt like somebody was pulling each of my bones out, one by one. I could hear my heart beat in my ears, making me dizzy. A couple hours ago when I checked, the white veins had spread to the tops of my shoulders. Now they were trailing down my arms. 

I am starting to think this is more serious than I first had thought.

I just wanted a nice night with my friends. Maybe a distraction from my troubling hormonal fueled thoughts about Rhett. 

At one point I was getting restless. I was in pain and getting more and more exhausted. It was likeI was losing all my energy. 

"Beth!" I yelled for her from the movie room. She had went into the kitchen to get more drinks. I finally stood up and walked slowly to the kitchen. 

"Yea?" I heard her yell back but by now I was in to much pain to respond. 

Entering the kitchen, Beth spun around from the fridge to face me. 

"Lia, you don't look so good. Are feeling ok?" All I could do was shake my head. I tried reaching out for, seeing as I felt myself falling. She could not catch my fall in time. 

I hit the ground. Hard. The sound rang through the kitchen. 

"Oh no Lia, look at me. Brian call 911!" I could barely hear Beth's voice. It seemed so far away. 

Using all the strength I had left I looked at her and said, "I need Rhett." 

Then darkness.
