My Shadow

Chalter 21:

I hear muffled voices and I drowsily open my eyes. Where am I?   I sit up, rub my eyes and began observing my location. I'm in a room, a bedroom in fact. The walls are a dark shade of blue, there are touching quotes all over the walls in all the colors of the rainbow, a book shelf in front of the bed I am on, and posters all over the walls. It is freaking cold. I kick the blankets off me and push myself over to the side of the bed. I began thinking of everything that has happened. I then remember last night and Zach's phone saying "My Girl." The thought makes my stomach twist.

With a grunt I hoist myself off the bed. I began my way to the door but before I get out I see a mirror and almost shreik. What is that horrid monster?! I make movements and the mirror mimics my every move. I soon realized that it is a mirror. I have look like I have a rats nest on my head, then a rat had babies in it and died. It doesn't help that I look like a Zombie either. I walk over to the dresser instead of the door and find a brush. I basically Rio through my hair because I have so many tangles. I finally have it looking managable. Well at least that's slightly better. I make my way to the door open it and step into a hallway.

Well Im lost. I look around and see many doors aligned with the walls. I finally spot a light at the end of the hallway and go towards it. I find a row of stairs waiting for me. Ughhhh. I have to go down this?!  With a deep sigh I began down the never-seeming-to-end stairs. At least it has carpet.

I finally reach the end of the stairs and find a giagantic room with furniture every where and a HUGE T.V. I hear voices yet again. Either I am going insane... or there are people somewhere...

I try following the sound of the voices and find myself in the kitchen. I see my parents and Zach. I stare at him blankly.

"Goodmorning beautiful!" He chirps. "Don't talk to me traitor." I say coldly.  He just laughs and says, "I forgot you weren't a morning person." "Oh, I'm not, but even if it was afternoon and I was wide awake I still wouldn't want to talk to you." I hear my dad clear his voice and say, "Well me and your mother are going to go... unpack your things." I just nod in reply.

Once they leave Zach asks me, "Why are you so mad?" "Well lets see you are acting as if you still care for me when I know you don't, and are dating someone else while dating me. What is that called.... oh. yeah. cheating." I say with the same cold tone as before. He looks at me as if I just read him like an open book and looks down at his feet in defeat.
