Gone

Chapter 5 Connection

*Elisabeth's point of veiw*

I woke up the next morning and looked at the stained blood on my arm suddenly flash backs of last night came flooding back. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, I brushed it off and grabbed my clothes.

I as I bolted out the door my mom started calling for me so I went over to her. When I got over there she had a half asleep half awake look on her face. As she began to talk I knew what was really going on.

"We're are you going?" She said in a mummbly tone. "Mom I'm going to school just like every morning." Her breath reaked of alcohol and she looked as if she were going to pass out.

She fell forwards grabbing my cut arm to try to balence herself, I winced in pain and tried to play it off as I stubbed my toe but luckily she was drunk enough to not notice.

"I'm leaving now" I quickly said and ran out the door. I didn't slow my pace until I got to the bus stop just on time. I put on a cheesy smile and said goodmoring to my bus driver.

I headed to the back and sat down listening to a song that I never got the meaning of until last night. I blasted it all the way and listened closely to the lyrics not missing a single detail. A tear started to roll down my cheek as i was startled by a familiar voice.

*Anthony's point of view*

I look before me and see a teary eyed Elisabeth i part of me wanted to tell her everything would be okay, but I knew from experience that isn't true.

"Are you okay?" I asked hoping to find out what happened. She responded with a simple "I'm fine." I have seen this to many times before, anytime someone says I'm fine they never mean it.

"Okay" I said sitting down in the seat across from her. "Where's Jaycob" I asked, he is normally so protective over her it isn't normal to see her without him.

Her eyes opened wide and looked at me with a blank stare. "Hes...uh... actually I broke up with him." She said holding her head down in shame. "When" I asked a little confused.

"L-l-last n-n-night" she struggled to say. It had been forever since I heard her stutter I wonder what happens to make her like that?

"He was a dick anyways." I said trying to cheer her up. Normally I would talk to people about it but I knew the last thing she needed right now was to have the whole bus looking at her cry.

"I guess your right." She giggled. She looked away for a second catching her breath and forgetting what seemed to be bothering her. After a moment she turned back and looked at me. "Holly bujesus dude!!! When did you get to sleep!?!?"

She had dark circles around her eyes and crazy amounts of bed head. She seriously looked like she hasent slept for days. "I think around 5" she responded lightly moving her hand over her arm. "What am I ever going to do with you?" I responded with a laugh.

Fortunately this made her giggle she covered her mouth with her palm as she did. I don't know why she does that.

We arrived at school and we said our goodbyes. Going into my class room i had a lot on my mind and I couldn't seen to focus on the work. Why was she about to cry? Why was her laugh so cute? NO snap out it dude you have a girlfriend. Finally snapping out of my daze I looked at my homework and thought to myself today's going to be a shitty day.
