Someone Like You (A Chandler Riggs Fan-Fic)

Chapter 14

"She's waking up!"

"Shh!"

"Be quiet! She's just waking up!"

I hear many different voices around me. My eyes slowly flutter open. I see many faces, that matched the voices, I was hearing.

My eyes scan the low-light room I'm in. I see candles lit around me. Where am I? Why am I here?

Suddenly, I feel arms wrapped around me, squeezing me tightly. The person's scent engulfs me. Smoke, Vanilla perfume, leather. Tasia.

"Oh God, Ari. I honestly thought you were never gonna wake up!" Tasia says.

What? How long have I been..out?

Still, the corners of my mouth curve upward into a smile, as I wrap my arms around her, as well

She pulls away and gives me a stern look.

"Look, whoever did this to you...will be sorry."

I give her a confused look. Who..did what to me?

There's a pounding in my head. I reach my hand up and press on my temples.

Suddenly, I remember everything. I lick my lips and taste the fresh blood. I touch my eye, and feel it's swollen ness. I remember...him. The boy with spiked hair and an eyebrow piercing. I remember how angry he was. I remember his body on top of mine, his hand caressing my skin, his lips upon mine. I remember him hitting me repeatedly, until I was too weak. I remember pushing him off me and running out of the room, down the long...long hallway. I remember it all.

I remember falling, and landing in soft arms. I remember looking up at the person who caught me. Their shaggy brown locks, blurry blue eyes and the silver thing on their lip that glinted in the light.

But that's it.

But..who was the person?

I hear more whispering and people are staring at me.

Tasia is talking to some girl with dark black hair and more piercings upon her face. I reach over and tap Tasia's shoulder and she turns around and gives me all of her attention.

"Um..Tas..could you maybe ask all these people to leave? I.. I just feel kind of uncomfortable." I whisper.

"Yeah, sure Ari!" she says kindly.

"Hey! Everybody out! Ariana is fine so you can all leave now!" she shouts throughout the room.

"Yep! Everybody out!" she says, shooing people with her hands, out the door.

But there's still one person left in the room. They stand across the room, leaning on the way, smiling at me.

Even though my head is pounding, I manage to push myself up onto my elbows.

"Sam." I smile.

"Hey." he smiles back.

Sam comes and sits at the foot of my bed.

"How ya doin?" he asks.

I reach over and punch him in the shoulder.

"Ow!" he yelps. "What was that for?"

"If you had just come over yesterday morning, this would've never happened!" I say jokingly.

"What?"

"Well..you weren't with Tasia when I got back-"

"Got back from where?"

"N-nevermind that right now. When I got back to the room, I figured you'd be with Tas but you weren't and she didn't know where you were either! So after she left, I decided to go out and look for you and I went down to the boys fl-"
