Every day now I have been crying myself to sleep and missing some days of school. I felt like nothing and my brother was worried which is so weird because I have never seen him actually worry for me or feel something for me, that was the only thing that made me smile for 5 minutes in my time of sadness. The school term had gone by so fast and there was on one week of school left. My weekend I spent in misery because all I could think of the words from Jacob and seeing Eli so happy, I guess we weren’t meant to be together to be happy. The whole of the last week of term 2 was supposed to be happy meaning I’m half way through year 10 but all of that happiness was washed out by tears and sadness.
The second lot of holidays started and everyone in the school was invited to some rich kid’s party, and it is to be set up at an abandoned camp ground. It has been said that the cabins still had everything in tact because everyone left due to some creepy story about some crazy killer at the camp site. I was greeted by Imogen at the camp site and she promised me she would be with me the whole night. I noticed Adam talking to Eli in the senior’s cabin it looked quite serious because I saw Eli glancing to me for short moments out of the corner of my eye. Imogen and I went over to a big silver barrel, we knew some drink was in it but we didn’t know what it was. We both took a glass of it and we sat down in the corner of the cabin ad talked.
We both saw Jacob approach us, he came and sat down next to me and whispered to me “What are you doing here? Are you here to hook up with some new guy or are you here ready to be hurt all over again.”
When he said that all I could remember and feel was pain and how guilty I was for kissing Jacob and dating me as my rebound, I wanted to run away as far as I could. I pushed Jacob off his chair and I ran out of the cabin. A crowd of people followed me out the door; Jacob started to stomp towards me. I pushed a barrel of drink to him to block his path and so I ran into the woods. I had no idea where I was going because the thoughts of pain mixed with alcohol started to make me dazed. I stumbled and hit some trees but I kept on running. I was heading into complete darkness and all I heard was animal noises and screams coming from way back which were screaming my name. I shut my eyes for a minute but kept on running and I tripped and rolled down a hill. At the bottom I laid there in the cold and I looked up I then snapped out of my trance feeling and realised I’m lost and I couldn’t hear any more screams for me. I got up and shivered in fear. As I heard all these scary animal noises I looked all around me frantically.
Something then touched my shoulder I turned around and screamed “Get off of me! Get away!”
But I was cut off by a voice yelling to me “It’s me, Eli calm down. I’m here you’re safe.”
I paused and he smiled to me, I smiled back to him to be polite. He looked at me and he started to move I thought he was going to hit me. So I squinted a bit but Eli put his jacket around my shoulders.
I looked to him and I said to him “Is it weird that I’m kind of glad you found me.”
He smiled and replied “Well I’m glad you’re not hurt.”
When found me and put the jacket on my shoulders I felt happy once again with him and I felt like melting in front of him again. I realised I had the same feeling like when I was dating him I felt like I was in love with him again, but that would never happen.
A car rolled up behind us, it went off road and I knew exactly who it was. Jacob got out and yelled “Get in you losers your both going to freeze.”
Jacob drove us home and he dropped me off at my house first. I got out of the car and Jacob yelled to me “Hey bitch, you might want to think before you run.”
I poke my tongue out to him, and I look to Eli.
Eli said to me “You can keep it for these holidays, I have others at home but you have to give it back when school starts again.”
I smile and nod in reply and Jacob drove off to Eli’s house to drop him off. I look up to the sky and hug Eli’s jacket and think that I’m still into him.
