I swear these two boys were following me.
"I'm so sorry," I quickly said without hesitation. "I'm also sorry for this morning. I just need to be left alone." I turned my face up to him, I could feel tears burning the back of my eyes.
"It's fine," was all he said. The next thing I noticed I was in his embrace my head pushed up to his chest. I was so happy he forgave me. I quickly freed my arms and wrapped them around him. His back had a weird texture, but he must have a back brace or something hidden under his shirt.
"Excuse me, you're blocking my locker." I jumped back from Tyler and saw Gabriel. Jealousy burning deep in his eyes.
"Excuse me both of you but I need some privacy for a while." I hurried off.
"Scarlet wait," I didn't even turn around, I started to run down the hallway. "Scarlet, wait please." That voice I was hearing wasn't Gabriels or Tylers, it was my dads. I had to get away from it, so I kept running. The one thing that haunts my dreams is him screaming my name, if I didn't leave he would have lived, he would be here and my life would be normal, none of this crazy stuff. As I crash through the door I run around a corner, to a place where I've seen people sit by themselves. The space is where to walls join together, and there is only enough space for someone to slip through and sit there in silence. I quickly slid through the space and felt a stinging pain at the back of my eyes, this always happened when I was holding in tears. I didn't want to hold back the tears and felt them run down my face. I didn't even bother to wipe my face. Suddenly I heard a noise from outside the entrance, I wiped my face with my shirt. Making sure my face was dry and no one could detect that I had been crying. I watched a shadowed figure stand in the entrance. The sun was behind the person at the entrance, this made it difficult to see who it was. But the messy hair made it pretty clear that it was Gabriel.
"Hey, you alright," I could see his face now, it was full of concern.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. It wasn't your fault I left," I saw an anger take over the concerned face. I knew what he was thinking. "And it wasn't Tyler either." His face quickly became confused, he really didn't understand what had happened.
"Then what happened. I'm here if you want to talk about it. Just please come out of your hiding spot, I'm getting soor, It's uncomfortable sitting like this." He pointed to how his legs lower legs were under the upper leg, all I could do was laugh. As he stood up he stretched a hand out to me, which I hesitantly took. I pulled me up in a swift motion. I smiled as I lead him over to a table and took a seat, he quickly slid in opposite me, without letting go of my hand. We sat in silence, it was comfortable silence. We both studied each others faces, when we had been sitting there for a long time, I closed my eyes and sighed. All I was thinking was, someone needs to know what happened.
"So, if you want to know what's wrong-" he quickly cut me off.
"Listen you don't have to tell me, only if you are sure you want to." I nodded and he leaned forward. Ready to listen to my every word. Again I could feel tears in my eyes. I looked up at the sky, trying to stop the tears from coming forth again.
"Well a few months ago my dad, passed away. I was the only one with him when it actually happened. I know the whole story, and I've always kept it to myself. He died from numerous knives stabbing him on his stomach. Everyone thought it was suicide because he was always drinking. I know it wasn't, it was murder, I never saw the faces, but my dad took me out into the woods, for a hunting trip. When we were walking, he stopped me from going any further. I told me to go back further and scout a bit over to the right to us. I was terrified that I would get lost. He told me to trust him. So I did as he said, I walked further to the right, that's when I saw them. There was five men. They ran straight for me, I quickly ducked and jumped into a nearby bush. They obviously were stupid because they ran straight past me. I saw where they were heading, I jumped up and ran after them, for my father was ahead. I ran as fast as I could and was too late. My father was covered in the men. He was screaming out for me, Scarlet wait, come back. I didn't go back, I ran for the exit of the forest. If I would have went straight for my dad he would have survived. He would be here, and I wouldn't of been such a mess." I sat there just realising that I was crying silently, and as I felt someone squeeze my hand I saw that I hadn't let go of Gabriel's hand. He quickly walked around and sat next to me. He then hesitantly put his arms around me. I quickly put my arms around him too. I felt again the weird texture to his back, except his was more lighter than Tylers had been. I felt him shift next to me, I quickly let him go and noticed that Tyler had come and sat opposite to me and Gabriel. He was smiling. I didn't know what he had found funny. I felt heat rise to my cheeks. I stood up quickly.
"Scarlet, please don't leave." I turned, around to find, them both getting out of their chairs.
"Why go for me. Am I just someone you can get with so you don't have to put up with others problems. Well here unpopular girls have problems too and for your information, I would rather you both left me alone." I quickly ran off, and didn't turn back again.
