I just have to get out.

Part 16

Why did I have to go back to then? I would have preferred any other time but then.

It was like I was taking part in it all again. All the terror and fear came flooding back to me, reminding me that I will never be fully away from the horrible things that gone on. Why does this happen?

I was pulled back into the dream, making me realize that I was going to be taking part once more. There was Luca, telling me something at Lunch. That Sappy and Ethan was something like a werecat or a mixture. Him telling me that he would see me after class. At the end of the day. Oh god. Help me please…

I remember the rest of the day going past, art class and then music class. Music, I remember, was my favourite. The teacher for Music was a very good teacher and made things look really easy. But that lesson soon ended.

I found myself walking out of class, onto the playground and towards the gates. I was going to wait for Luca and Sappy. To hear that this was just some play on my mind and they were trying to trick me in advance of April fool’s Day. Come on… Waiting here…

Oh Crap. They were walking towards the gates. Go Away, I was shouting this at them in my head, but that didn’t help. It seemed to attract them more towards me. I tried to blend in to the background, not attracting any attention. But, as normal, it didn’t help.

“Hey guys, it’s the freak. What do you think she’s doing? Waiting for everyone to go home so she can stay?” They all laughed at this, while I was backing away, towards the playground. I could see them advancing, spreading out from their tightly packed group to them looking like a bigger group. Why?!

I was trying to break free from this dream. I didn’t want to live through it any more. But my mind forced me to watch and take part in.

I understood that I had nowhere to go. I gave in to moving backwards. There was hardly anyone around and that left me no choice but to stand up to them. Luca and Sappy weren’t out yet. Crap, I thought as they rounded on me.

“Well, well. Looks like you’re all by yourself. No one around to help you. Sucks to be alone doesn’t it?” They were taunting me, pushing me. I was getting confused, thoughts running through my mind, but it doesn’t equate to this situation. It was weird, I was worried about what I would ask Sappy, ask Luca to repeat what he said at Lunch and now these people; my supposedly fellow classmates.

I didn’t know I’d lashed out, but I suddenly felt them all yelling at me, pushing me harder and onto the floor. I tried to stand up, but they pushed me back. I struggled. Then I heard it, a yell and someone shout ‘NO!’ I couldn’t see who it was. But I saw four feet, all belonging to the same person. Ah Crap.

They’re all scared, I’m frozen on the floor. I didn’t realize that there was a pooling of blood soon enough, feet running away and my best friend wrapping her arms around my shoulder, cradling me in her arms. But I couldn’t get that image out of my head. Four feet, Paws, belonging to one person, one animal, I didn’t even see the blood splatter on my legs. I was too caught up.

Then there was Luca, trying to pry me up of the floor. But it was too late. I hit out again, hitting at Sappy and Luca. Trying to break free, free of this life. I was running. Away from Sappy and Luca, towards the gates, but someone caught me. I struck out once more, catching the person of guard.

Someone must have called the Ambulance, because it arrived. I collapsed, rocking back and forth. It was too much. I felt someone come up to me, but I didn’t retaliate. They gently helped me up and guided me towards a car. I didn’t care. I just didn’t want to be a part of it.

That’s where I woke up, breathing hard and silently crying. I was still laying on Lucas bed, but I soon saw that someone was standing in the doorway.

Luca…
