To Kill A Sparrow

Chapter Three "Being Watched"

Chapter Three "Being Watched"

"Hello ma'am have you been drinking tonight?" A cop asked Naomi, "Why don't you come and talk to my partner over there."

I looked around for a place to run off, but there was no where I could run without getting caught or becoming completely lost. Then I began to notice all of the people at this party were being loaded into squad cars one by one. I turned to Jonah who was now talking to another officer, then I turned to the rest of his gang, who were taking off. 

"Um officer," I interrupted, "My friend over there is completely hammered, you know crazy teenageers right? He wanted me to come over and ask you if you can give him a ride home." 

The cop turned to see a kid passed out in a lawn chair. While he was distracted I grabbed Jonah by the arm and sped off, following the rest of his little gang. We ran as fast as we could throught the forest, but we finally reached somewhere where everyone could sit and relax. This place seemed familiar, I looked around at the trees and rocks and then it hit me. We were at Look Out Point, the memories couldn't help but ooze throughout my brain.

"Why are we hear Sparrow?" I looked up at Sparrow's stunning face and piercing, green eyes.

"This is where I come when I'm with Chris," Sparrow looked out into the distance, almost as if she'd reherced this moment, "Don't think I forgot about you Emily, Chris had a friend and I told him to come along."

Chris was Sparrow's older lover, of course their relationship was a secret, because if word got out about Chris Mitchellson and Sparrow Evans, then Chris Evans would be behind bars. Now he had a friend that he was bringing with him, just for me, why wasn't I happy about this? Because even though I adored Sparrow, I wouldn't want to spend a day in her shoes. She lived a double life, that I knew of.

"Oh goodie," I took a sip of my waterbottle, "When are they going to get here?"

"Right now," Chris' voice said as he and his friend emerged from the bushes, "How's my girl?" He put his arm around Sparrow and kissed her on the cheek.

"Amazing, now that you're here," Sparrow kissed him back and turned to me, "Babe, why don't you introduce Emily to your friend?"

"Emily, this is Jacob," He greeted and pushed Jacob towards me.

"We'll be back by the kissing rock," Sparrow gave me the smug look she always has, "Don't have too much fun." Sparrow and Chris headed off in the direction of the kissing rock and now I was stuck here, alone with Jacob.

"Listen, I don't know how you feel about this but I want you to know this wasn't set up by Chris and your friend..." Jacob looked me in the eye and inched towards me on the log that we were sitting on.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I back away from him and tried to make it seem like I wasn't about to freak out.

"I- I want you," He cornered me for a kiss and I quickly dodged and tumble into a pile of sticks and leaves. 

"Come on," He grabbed my waist, "When are you going to grow up and stop acting like a kid?"

"Get off of me!" I squirmed out of his grip again and bolted for the kissing rock to get Sparrow to help me. But I had tripped and fell onto another pile of leaves, I felt trapped and like I couldn't breathe, "I don't want you!"

As he began to zone in on me I screamed as loud as I could and panicked. Then next thing I knew Sparrow was looking over me and Chris was holding Jacob back. I looked at my own hand and saw it was covered in scrathes and my hair had felt like a rat's nest from falling in the leaves and twigs.
