To Late

CHAPTER TWO

     As I read the words over and over again I see a group of people gathering around me laughing. I feel the hot tears stream down my face. I take a deep breath in but can't seem to keep calm.  I decide to run out of the school, the laughing still loud in my head.

     I reach home rather quickly, luckily my dad isn't home. I take a run to the bathroom, not bothered that my breathing is heavy. I go straight to where I keep my blade and pull it. I draw three new lines into my skin, watching the blood bead up as it comes out. I decide to do more and then it leads to more and then more. I begin to go light headed, seeing more than one of me in the mirror. The room starts to spin faster and faster till everything becomes this world of darkness.

     *Jakes P.O.V (one bully)

     My friends and I all gather around Sophie's locker to see how she reacts to what we left. As we get there I see her crying, but for some reason it didn't make me laugh like normal. Instead I felt bad for her, but I couldn't let my friends know that because they'd think I like her. So I pretend to thonk its funny and high five them, that's when I realise that Sophie is no longer there and that begins to worry me. I walk up to my friend Justin with only one question in mind. "Where'd Sophie go?"

     He looks at me with suspicion, but doesn't question me. "She probably ran home crying." I don't let him speak anymore and begin to run out to my silver Ford F-150. I just need to know if Sophie is okay, I've liked her ever sense I met her but I couldn't let people know that or else they'd make fun of me too.

     The drive to Sophie's house takes a little time. When I pull up I see there's no cars and the door is left wide open. So, I decide to take my chances. As I step in its clear that there's no mother in the house. "Hello? Sophie?" I try but the house was silent. I walk up the stairs at a rather slow pace listening for any noises. Thats when I hear a thud come from the upstairs area. I run towards where I think the sound had come from and enter a room, Sophie's room. I look over and on the night stand was a picture of her and I'm guessing her mom. I turn my head a little more and see Sophie laying on the floor her shirt covered in blood. "SOPHIE?!!" I scream and scream but she lies still. I see the blood covered blade on the floor and my eyes begin to water, this is all my fault.

     The ambulance came in a matter of seconds and they allowed me to ride. "Will she make??" Was the only thing I could say to the perimetics. They would only give me a sad glance and turn their focus straight back to Sophie. What had I done?
