I Kissed Her Scars

Chapter 20

I went to the door of her house and knocked. But the motion of my fist on the door made it open on its own. It was unlocked... How strange...

I walked inside. It was pretty dark, no lights were on.

"Hello? Anyone here?" I said. But I got no answer.

"Hello???" I walked around the house. But stepped on something and broke it. Glass. A shattered beer bottle. That didn't seem good... But it didn't surprise me due to her alcoholic father.

I went into the kitchen, two words. Total. Mess.

I decided to go upstairs, her room was the first thing I encountered. I decided to go inside.

"Emma?" I said. No answer. Maybe I could look around her room for more clues.

There was something different. A small section of the wall, near Emma's height, had scratches on it. On the ground right under the wall where the scratches were... Another broken beer bottle. Omigosh... Did he... Try to throw a beer bottle at her??? This man was such an alcoholic and so drunk, he needed all the help he could get.

I opened the drawer of her night stand. A pink candle box. Looked pretty. Wonder what was inside. So, I opened it. My eyes widened at the contents of the pretty pink box. The ugly blood stained blades in there. Such a pretty box with ugly secrets within. I close it and put it back.

I went into her closet. Her clothes. I found a convenient empty suitcase in her closet. I filled it up with things I knew she would miss and need later on. Her band tees, her jacket, a couple black jeans, some undergarments (which, by the way, were so awkward to pack), baggy sweaters which she loved, since it hid her scars and her 'fat' as she called it. I also took her CD's and... Of course... Her phone, with all her music on it. I couldn't pack everything, but I filled the suitcase up as much as I could. It was pretty small.

I took a look back in the pretty pink box. The sides of it had a little dried blood that had dripped down from it. The ugliness inside of the box had already contaminated with the box's beauty. I put it in the suitcase, in case I would need it later. But I would be sure to hide it from her before she saw it.

I took the suitcase with me to walk around the house more. It was quite heavy. I opened each door I came across. Closet... Spare bedroom... Then the room at the end of the hall. Her fathers room.

I opened it, there he was... Sleeping heavily. Beer bottles all over the floor, it was disgusting... And... A 20 something year old girl sleeping with him... Gross, since her dad was like 50. Ew ew ew ew ew. She must've been drunk before she fell asleep, since she had agreed to sleep with a man twice her age in a room like this. I hate cleaning my room, but I would've never left it messy like this. Oh well, he'd most likely lose his house anyway since with all this drinking he'd no longer be able to keep his job and afford it.

I quietly closed the door before they woke up so I wouldn't get in a huge load of trouble.

I went to the stairs, and there came my huge problem. Lugging a heavy suitcase down the stairs without making so much sound.

I finally got down to the last step, I dragged it down with me without even realizing how loud I was during the very last step.

"WHO'S THERE???" I heard her dad shout.

Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot I had to leave. Now. I quickly dashed out of the house before he could open his door and see that it was me.

I quickly ran to my car and continued my search, driving away quickly, although it was hard to see due to the rain.

I checked the time, it had been almost an hour since I called Harry to take her to the dance. Should I check up on them? Make sure that Harry actually did what I said?

I decided to drive to the school, still searching for Emma on the way.

I went inside to look for them, even though I was soaking wet from the rain.

"Oh hey Connor," said a girl as she walked up to me, "I've been looking for you."

Yup. Just a flirt.

"Didn't you hear???" said her friend who I recognized as another flirter, "He's here with Emma."

Harry had already spread the news... He must've been here already.

"Oh... Well Connor... Where is she?"

"I don't know."

She laughed, "Oh, that silly emo Emma. Just leaving you unattended, huh? Well... Just saying... If I was your date, I would never just lose you like that."

"That's nice, but I hope that someday you realize that you do things for people because you love them, not just because they're the most popular guy in school. ."

I walked away, leaving her frozen and silent.

And right when I walked away, there was Harry and Alice, at the corner... Having a very feisty make-out session. Well, I guess he treated her right... Maybe a little too right, but whatever.

I walked back outside where it was still pouring, even harder than before. I walked to my car, looking around seeing how much rain their was. A lot.

I turned my head to the right, looking at the picnic table under the trees to see if the trees had actually minimized the amount of rain that fell under them. But there she was, sitting on the picnic table, freezing in the cold rain.
