Something Perfect [COMPLETED]

Chapter 29 - Kerry?!

I still didn't hear from Adam.

After the incident with Steve, I refused to leave my room. Kai left me to myself, which I was glad about, and I was able to think about everything that was going wrong in my life so far.

Of course, my mum was notified of the whole situation almost immediately and wouldn't stop screaming about the fact that no one had noticed Steve's actions. We didn't know how long he had been doing that to girls but I had a feeling that it hadn't been the first time, or even the second. He was a professional and he'd obviously begged to get that office for that particular reason. 

I wasn't going to see him for a long time.

Of course, I still had to go through the whole police procedure and I knew that I'd probably have to give a statement or be some kind of witness when the whole thing went to court. Nevertheless, after the police had left, I was still glad that I was able to stay in my room. 

I hadn't left it since Kai had dropped me off.

He hadn't tried to force me to go out and, even if he wanted me to go with him, my mum was watching me like a hawk. There was no way that she was letting me go anywhere for at least a few days. Once I could go to college again, I was allowed out.

I didn't mind so much. I enjoyed being separated from the world for a while. 

I was almost at peace, besides the constant feeling that something was wrong with Adam.

I didn't want to go to college but I knew that I'd have to face that class and the people in it, all with teasing expressions. They wouldn't be sympathetic for me. Once a freak, always a freak, no matter what happened to me. They would probably think that I brought it on myself and Mr Dawson was completely innocent in the whole thing. No one else had spoken about it and the Izzy girl hadn't been mentioned.

Though I wanted to tell the police about the other girl I knew had been attacked, I had a feeling that they wouldn't believe me. They'd need proof and I wouldn't be able to tell them where I got the information from. They'd think I was crazy and would probably get me to seek help for my 'problem.' I just hoped that Izzy saw what was happening to Mr Dawson and that she would speak up about it once she knew that he was getting done for it.

After a few days of my mum taking food backwards and forwards to me, of me slowly losing my will to text Adam to check if he was okay, I was sick of staring at my four walls. I never text Adam about what happened with Mr Dawson, though I was sure that he'd probably either hear about it or see it all over the news in some shape or form. I started to feel as if he didn't actually care about me.

He never returned my calls and they always went to voicemail. He never even looked at my texts. I finally stopped trying to contact him and just tried to forget about him. I was wasting my time. If he was concerned then he would have contacted me. It had been too long and he didn't have any other excuse except the fact that he didn't want to see me.

Although, I didn't know if he'd been in college since I'd stayed off. If he had then it was clear that he was avoiding me. If he hadn't then I knew something was definitely wrong with his family. It was one or the other and neither option sounded too pleasant. Though I worried to death on a regular basis the longer he didn't talk to me, I pushed it to the back of my mind and tried to concentrate on something else, anything else, which would help me pass the time.

I slowly got out of bed, like the lazy person I was, and decided that I needed some fresh air. I'd been couped up for too long and I didn't even know what day it was. My mum couldn't stay off work forever but I knew she was waiting for me to recover before she went back. Richard came around a few times but I never saw him. I stayed up in my room and he always stayed downstairs. I knew he visted though because I heard his voice quietly slithering up the stairs every now and again. I think he was probably just there to support my mum.
