Liar || Sequel to Missing Pieces

-2-

The way Jack approached Zach rapidly sent shivers through my body. My already tear stained face was nothing compared to what would happen next.

I still sat on the ground beside where Jack had once stood. Not willing to bare the sight of it, I sobbed loudly as the sound of Jack's fist met Zach's face.

Jonah and Corbyn ran straight towards the two trying to pull them off each other. Daniel, who was still by my side, attempted to lift me away from the scene.

No other thoughts could pass through my mind. Sprinting towards where Zach stood, anger in my eyes, I jumped in between them.

His hand swung towards Jack but instead hit me. Everything had begun moving in slow motion as I watched his hand come closer.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind tearing me away from the fast approaching pain.

As his hand returned back to his side and pain filled his face I stood back before him, "Stop. Please."

Everyone looked around at one another unsure of how to react. The barrier in my head holding back all my emotions came crashing down.

Jonah walked over to Zach and put an arm around him. The two walked together inside most likely going to take care of whatever Jack had done.

My eyes drawn to the saddened look on Zach's face tearing me from whatever reality I was living in.

Alone I lay staring towards the house once filled with love but now only left holding chaos. The blame was only to fall onto one pair of shoulders.

Those that just so happened to be mine.

The warmth of a presence beside me brought my mind back. There sat Jack, tears brimming his eyes, regret surrounding him.

"I know this won't change anything." He started placing a hand on mine, "but i'm sorry."

I shook my head, "None of this would've happened if I hadn't come back."

His mouth opened again but I put my hand up to continue, "You need to fix things with Zach. I may have lost the best thing that ever happened to me..."

I looked up to meet his eyes, "But that doesn't mean you have to lose him too."

My hand moved to his cheek brushing the tears from his eyes, "So go in there and fix it."

Before he could say anything more I stood from the ground and walked through the house.

A voice behind me that I soon recognized as Daniels called out, "Carmen where are you going."

"Away from here." My mind raced to find the words, "To let you all fix what damage I made, so that I don't interfere again. To give you all space from my toxic mind."

With that I ignored whatever other comments they could throw my way and walked out of the house.

My feet fell into step with the sound of my breathing. Each step forward brought me further into my mind.

"Im so problematic." I mumbled out loud.

Sighing I continued forward with no idea of where I was heading. I found myself eventually make my way to a beach.

The waves crashing against the sand as the sun met the edge of the water.

I leaned up against a railing out in the open watching the colors fill up the sky. Pinks, yellows, and oranges surrounding this half sphere in front of me.

Footsteps raced behind me and I heard the sound of someone breathing approaching closer and closer.
