Hello, Loves! Thank you for reading so far. Today I think I'm going to wrap up the story.. Maybe not in this chapter though. Things are about to get pretty dramatic. c; Keep reading! <3
**************************************************
Damien's POV:
Oh, shit. Oh, shit!
"What the fuck..." Tommy stopped crying, he was staring at me blankly. He looked confused. I turned away from him. I can't look at him like this.. but the next thing I know, I'm running out of the school. I ran far away. Anywhere but here! I can't believe what I just said.. Is it the truth?..
I stopped running at the bridge I took Eli to and stared off the side of it, leaning on the railing. I looked to the side. "Why is it so windy today?.. If it rains, I'm gonna have to ride a bus or something.." I looked down disappointed.
"Hey!" I heard a familiar voice. I looked around and nobody was there.
"DamieBear, you know I'm talking to you! Now turn around, Baby Doll."
My eyes widened.. I know that voice.. I loved that voice.. But.. it can't be..
"Mom! Mom, where are you?!" I looked around frantically. She's not there. Where did the voice come from?
I started panicking and crying. "Mom.. I miss you. Why did you leave?! Where are you?!" I kept searching. I ran into the woods and looked around the trees and everything. Where did that voice come from?..
All I could hear was my heart pounding and my hard breathing. I still searched.
"Mom!!! Come back, Mom!.. Come back.." I couldn't do this anymore. I fell to the ground, exhausted. I'm just insane.. She's not really there.. Nobody is.. I'm all alone.. I've always been alone.
It was getting dark and I was in the woods. I don't know how far I've gone, but I didn't care. I didn't even attempt to get up. I just laid there.
"I'm so tired of trying.. All my life I've done so much, tried so hard, made people happy.. but the one time I'm happy, everything gets taken away from me.. Everything. My home life, My love, My mom, My friends.. They're all gone.." I looked around, it started to rain. I began talking to myself even more.
"Get up, Damien.. You have to go home.."
I sighed, and grabbed a tree to steady myself, then I got up on my feet and started walking.
**********************
Eli's POV:
We went straight to Damien's aunt.. It was so weird being with Tommy. I really don't like him.. But could Damien have told the truth?.. UGH.
We were in his aunt's living room and we explained what happened. She immediately called 911.
"Yes, police! Hi, I'm missing a boy! He's sixteen, has long dark brown hair, and he's about 5'6. Could you please help us find him? He got into a bit of drama at school and he ran off. I have the two people who last saw him with me.. You want to talk to them? Well.. okay.." She covered the mouth part of the phone. "Which one of you wants to talk to him?"
I saw Tommy begin to raise his hand.. but I knew where Damien could be so I jumped up and grabbed the phone.
"Hello, officer? Yes, this is Eli. I knpw a place where Damien could have gone.. The abandoned bridge.."
*****************
Damien's POV:
I was walking for an hour now.. I was already at the park.. Not too far from my aunt. I heard police sirens go off and they looked like they were heading my way. I ran to them.
Usually, you'd run away from them.. But I want to go home. I saw them coming so I waved my arms around and shouted. They pulled to the side and put a flashlight to my face. The big officer smiled a bit. "Damien?"
"Yes, sir..?" I'm confused. How does he know me? I don't have a record or anything..
He smiled again and put a towel around me. "You were missing. Your family and friends will be glad we found you. We actually have one of them in the car.. She's a little stubborn and refused to wait.
I looked down. "Oh, I didn't mean to cause any trouble.."
He laughed. "It'll be alright you were only gone for a few hours. But once we get you home we're gonna have to run a few tests."
I smiled, then I saw someone get out of the car and run to me.
"Damien!!!" she immediately hugged me tightly, I hugged back and closed my eyes.
"Oh, hey.." I looked at her and noticed.. It was Eli. She cares? She actually searched for me?..
"Damien, I have something to tell you.. but you look tired and cold.. Let's get you home, okay? Don't run away again.." She looked as if she was about to cry.. I sighed.
"Okay, Eli. Let's go home."
We got in the police car and they drove me to my aunt's house.
******************************
AT AUNT'S HOUSE LATER:
I sighed. They asked me stupid questions like if I was drinking or doing drugs and shit.. I hate cops.. They finally left the house and my aunt began talking to me.
"Hey, Damien.. it's late.. If your friends call their parents and get permission to stay, they're more than welcome to.."
I looked at Tommy and Eli. They both nodded and got out their cellphones. I overheard their conversations. Eli's mom was cool with it. Tommy's parents.. well... he was grounded. He pouted. and whined.
"But I need to stay!! Damien's my best friend!! P lease, please, please, please! It's too late anyways.." He then sighed. "Fine, come pick me up." Then he closed his phone violently.
"I can't stay because my parents are douchebags." Eli and I both looked at him. Then we exchanged a look of our own. Then looked back at him and laughed.
Eli hugged him. "You're cute when you're mad! I can't take you seriously when you curse." She was still laughing and Tommy smiled.
"Hey! I'm not cute! Grrrr!" He was laughing himself. I smiled.
"So, wanna eat some pizza rolls? I bet you guys haven't eaten anything since lunch.. and school lunch is fucking gross."
They smiled and both said in unison "PLEASE!"
I got up and walked into the kitchen.
