Tony and I soon came to a stop, when we got to the gym. It was first lesson and we were already running late. All we talked about was how the school seemed off.
In a way that it was depressing, but in lightened at the same time.
Tony stepped in front of me and opened the door to the gym, I followed behind him as he opened the door for me. I nodded softly at him thanking him. He smiled back.
Today just flew by so fast. It was the end of the day and I couldn't believe it. I had Tony in all of my classes. But we barely talked, but I'd feel his gaze on me, so it was as if he was still trying to put pieces together or he was just turning into a creepy guy I mean.
That'll be scary. I was now on my way out of the school, when some guy linked his arm over my shoulder. I was scared, when I looked up the guy smiled at me. He was sort of Asian. I mean I think he was.
"Hi I'm Zach" I still had a blank face. And pushed his arm from my shoulder and dropped my skateboard on the ground. Ready to push off the ground the guy grabbed my arm.
"Wait... Can I know yo-" the guy was cut off by...... Whoa nice timing Tony.
"Hey Marie you okay?" My head snapped, up my eyes locking with Tony's he stood before us the guys hand tighting around my arm. I winced. Tony's eyes flung to the Asian guys.
"Actually, I'd appreciate it if you'd take your hands off of me" I snapped at the Asian guy, called Zach ripping my arm from his grip. I winced again. Now that's gonna leave a bruise.
I felt Tony lean forward, and link his hand in mine. I couldn't help but to feel my heart beat rise. He gripped it.
"I'm taking you home okay, and Zach never touch her again" he said narrowing his eyes at the guy that walked off.
I stood there numb, before Tony bent down and picked my skateboard up. He stopped for a moment when I went to reach for it.
He grabbed my arm that Zach squeezed and lifted my sleeve up, there were small finger in line prints forming as a red bruise. He taped it I flinched a bit. Man that guy could crush a chicken.
With that strength. I heard Tony huff.
"I'll take you home" he said deeply. I just nodded because I was in shock that I felt as if I were gonna die if he hadn't helped out. I mean there were tons of people around us. None cared enough to help me.
I was lightly tugging along with Tony heading towards a red mustang. It was gorgeous. I mean red being my favorite color trigged me
"Hey you okay?" My eyes snapped to Tony's, eyes he had his eyebrows raised. I gulped nodding. He mentioned for me to get in the front seat, I hadn't noticed he even opened it. Or that he let my hand go.
That cold feeling washed over me. Like loneliness, need of affection.
I got into his car, putting my seat belt on and huffed. My hands shaking. Tony soon got into the drivers side, and turned to me closing his door.
"Mind me putting in a tape?" He asked, I nodded lightly by eyes burning into my hands. A guy I just met today is driving me home. Yet again I felt safe with Tony. Secure, wanted and yet again happy for once.
Tony put a tape in the song being. Roslyn - Bon Iver.
The soft strumming of the guitar swayed through my ears, the soft voices that sung sunk into my head, as Tony pulled out of the school. I clenched at the feeling, and closed my eyes, my breath coming out steady.
"Mind if we go to a park not to far from here?" I flattered my eyes open, and turned towards Tony, our eyes burning into each others. I nodded lightly. He smiled at me a toothless smile before nodding back.
I turned my head back to the front and closed my eyes.
'Oh we're just terrified...'
Soothed the air, my mind going soft. Small pictures of a small girl and myself as a child ran through my mind. She had blue eyes, with skin pale like snow white, her hair long and curly. We were smiling and laughing.
She hugged me, I hugged her back.
'Hannah, Marie darling... '
The sound of my mother's voice faded out as my eyes, fluttered open. But the last words I heard from the Hannah girl was.
'I love you Marie, we will meet again I promise'
The girl and I dissolved into a memory and or day dream I just had. My heart was pumping it felt so real but I never knew a Hannah. And or don't remember one.
It was crazy. I swear I had seen those beautiful blue eyes, pale skin and curly hair before. If only I knew her last name. But it was just a small memory or day dream whatever right.....
I opened my eyes, to meet the sound of my phone ringing. I rubbed my eyes, it was 5:25pm I slept, for an hour and a half. I flattered my eyes to Tony who wasn't in the drivers seat. I looked around my eyes falling onto a Walkman and a couple of tapes. I glanced at the backseat and saw my skateboard. Everything was there.
I looked out the car windows, my heat beating faster, we were on top of a hill, it was near mid dark. And the sun was just setting I was scared as hell.
Was I going to get murdered today, where the fuck was I?. I pushed my way out of the car denying Darcies phone call, i was almost out before my gaze snapped onto Tonys who stood in front of me with a worried expression.
"You okay?" He asked i looked around, nothing looked bad. That smoothened the urge to run. Tonys hand softly laid on my shoulder.
But before it could my phone rang. I pulled my phone out and saw Darcies number i picked it up. Putting it to my ear.
"D-darcie" i stuttered. I heard my brother sigh in relief. I looked up at Tony, his eyes burning into mine again.
"Marie where are you?" He said lightly, he wasn't pisssed he seemed worried.
"Darcie I'm with a friend don't worry, ill be back soon" i said through the phone, Darice breathed in a bit his voice steady.
"Okay, be back soon please, and also you have a package and it seems important. Dont worry no one has opened it, we know your privacy rule" he said i laughed at that, i heard him chuckle.
"Great to know my baby sis, is alive and healthy. Be back soon love you.." He said through the phone. My heart warmed up at the feeling of our love towards each other.
"Love you too Darcie" i said hanging up. My eyes drifted up to Tonys who smiled down at my his eyebrows raised.
"Darcie seems nice" i cheekly smiled at Tony and pushed his shoulder laughing.
"Ha.Ha.Ha Tony" i said walking near the edge of the hill" my eyes taking in the sight.
"Careful there" i laughed at that, Tony standing beside me. My mouth gapped at the view.
"This sight is beautiful" i said in awe. The city lights glowed in the distance.
"Yeah, it is" Tony muttered beside me.
