I've been Adopted by the Yogscast!

Chapter 36

Normally I would love Fridays. But this one in particular was not one I was excited for. Lindsay and her group have been avoiding me, which worries me a little. On the bright side, I might actually get a few hours of peace, right? Wrong. Jane decided not to come to school due to yesterday's events. I don't blame her. Pheobe walked with me to school so that was fun I guess. I went to my locker which was beside Carey's and opened it only to have little pieces of paper cascade down onto me. I unfolded one and looked at it. 'Watch your back' one said. 'We're watching you' read another. 'Dont think you're safe' warned a third. By then I was fed up with it all so I picked up all of the little notes and dumped then in the trashcan. One fluttered to the ground. I picked it up, annoyed. 'You have one week' it said. I threw it into the trash bin in disgust. Carey came up to me. "What was all that about?" she asked referring to the notes. "Just someone who decided to waste paper on attempting to frighten me." I replied. She nodded. The bell rang and I slammed my locker shut. The door clanged closed to reveal my least favourite person in the school. "Lindsay, what can I do for you today, your ugliness?" I asked. She leaned close to my ear. "I warned you. You're not the only one who can hold a grudge. Be careful." she said. She stared to walk away and turned to look at me. She pulled up her sleeve slightly and I saw small scars. Almost as though she had.... cut herself? I looked into her eyes and saw fear, sadness, and sympathy. Almost as though she were apologizing. Why would she suddenly start being a decent person? Unless, she was trying to make amends. But why would she do that? Then it hit me. I went to class pondering my theory. Pheobe noticed. "What are you thinking about? I know you hate math but it never makes you think that much." she said to me after class. I shrugged absent-mindedly. We walked to Language Arts class in silence. Carey noticed my somber mood as well. "The notes didn't scare you that bad, did they?" she asked. I shook my head. "Not the notes. The person who sent them." I said. Carey nodded still confused. At lunch, Lindsay came up to me without her gang. "Kayla, may I speak to you. Alone?" she asked timidly. I blinked. She called me by my name. Oh God. Something really is wrong with her. "Yes." I replied. She pulled me into the empty hallway. "I'm sorry I've been such a bitch to you." she started. Wait a minute, she's apologizing? This is worse then I thought. "Is it possible that you might.....forgive me?" she asked. I took a deep breath. "There are things that you have done that will never be forgotten. But I can find it in my heart to forgive you." I finally said. She let out a deep breath. "Thank you." she said. She took my hand and pressed something into it before darting back into the cafeteria. I looked at the piece of paper. On the outside was written 'Open alone'. I looked around and slowly opened the note. It read, 'Goodbye world. I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me treachery. Tell my father to go Fuck himself. And to the few who will miss me, I'm sorry. But I can't take it anymore.' my eyes widened. She was going to kill herself. Oh my God. I walked into the cafeteria and sat at my table. Pheobe looked over at me. She leaned over and said something to Chris. He nodded and wrote something on his board which he showed to Carey. "Whatever you guys are saying, you can tell me." I said. Pheobe shifted uncomfortably. "We have just been noticing your melancholy mood today and, well, we were wondering why you're in such a mood." Carey explained. I frowned. Then I noticed familiar blonde hair turn the corner to exit the room. "Rain check on that." I said patting my friend's shoulder as I jumped up to follow Lindsay. I ran down the hall add silently as I could. I saw the exit door swing closed and I shoved it open. I followed the fleeting glimpses of Lindsay to the top of a very tall building. I reached the roof and saw Lindsay on the edge. One inch forward and she would plummet to her death. Which was what she planned to do. "Lindsay!" I shouted as she took a step forward. I ran to the edge and reached out, catching her hand. Her fall yanked to a stop. "Please. Just let go!" she pleaded. "No!" I yelled as my grip on her hand became sweaty. I reached out to her dangling form with my other hand. I grabbed her other hand in mine and closed my eyes. Jane. Get Joakim. You know where I am. Hurry. I broadcasted the message to my twin. I pulled Lindsay easily up to the edge of the building. "Please. Don't make me live through this!" the blonde begged. I lifted her back onto the roof. She was sobbing now and I saw the numerous cuts on her arms. I layed the dangerously light girl on my lap and stroked her hair as she cried. Sobs wracked her thin body. "Shhhh shhhh." I soothed. "Its okay now." The door to the roof banged open and my dad ran out. "Kayla! Are you okay?" he asked when he saw me. I looked over him and Sjin. "I'm fine. But she isn't." I said gesturing to the girl in my arms. Jane ran onto the roof. "Oh my God! Is she okay?" she asked. "She just tried to kill herself and your asking me if she's okay?" I replied. Joakim stepped forward and lifted Lindsay from my grasp. He held her bridal style and rocked her back and forth. Sjin and Jane stood uncomfortably to the side. I started humming a song that I felt matched this situation perfectly.

Vectors by Area 11

A music box, a lullaby

a restless sleep through an iv high

a whispered voice inside your mind

one day I will find you find you

I saw that you were lonely too

something broken inside you

I reached out and took your hand

you reached out and you took me

(I repressed that time

I locked it all inside

I locked it all inside

cuz it's easier to hide

all the hurt all the loss

all the lines between the dots

everything that I forgot

I see it clearly

regress into a child again

do you feel it now?

baby can't you see that your losing your mind, that your losing your mind?

a shot to the head leaves it all behind leaves it all behind. reach out your hand to catch me, reach out your hand and you tear me apart. reach out your hand to catch me, reach out your hand and you tear me apart.)

a music box, an alibi

but we are simply killing time

I wish I'd seen inside your mind

I wish I'd seen inside you

well this entropy

common ancestry

almost the same but not enough

never forgiven but still in love

()

(other stuff that I'm too lazy to write so if that bothers you go listen to the song yourself.)

I finished the song and realised that Lindsay had stopped crying and Carey was calling my cell for the eleventh time. (see what I did there ;)) "What?" I said answering the phone. "We couldn't find you at school, are you okay?" Carey asked. "Why does everyone keep asking that? Listen, you and Chris come to my house tomorrow and I'll explain everything." I sighed. "Fine. Bye." Carey said hanging up. Sjin had called the authorities so they were up here too. Oh what an eventful Friday. I just stopped my arch nemesis from killing herself after she warned me about something, apologised to me for being such a bitch, and trusted me with her suicide note. I get the feeling we won't be enemies anymore. She's going to need help and I can give it to her. She needs to really know me. It's relatively easy to explain your life to your friends compared to exposing your story to someone who hates you. But here I go. On second thought, maybe I'll wait until tomorrow. Yeah, that's a good idea. Dont tell your worst enemy your life story until tomorrow, Kayla.
