FINDING S A R A H

Chapter 5

We all asked Viola to tell us who Sarah truly is, she started from the very beginning From when they were kids. Sarah wasn't always quiet, they use to have an older brother damian. He was in his junior year of high school, he as well played on the golf team, very smart guy. He had all AP classes according to Viola, Sarah looked up to him. However all of that changed, Damian got killed in a plane crash on his way home from a golf tournament in Los Angeles, the day of the funeral Sarah was quiet, she didn't cry, or even go up to the podium at the funeral to say anything. Couple of months pass, she grew violent and dark towards her friends and family, she made everyone fear her. Apparently i'm the only one in school who ever tried to speak to her, I even remember the day I did. It was during a practice quiz and I partnered up with her cause she didn't have one. She was a smart girl, she was way better at math than I was...

"And that's how you answer number 6, you get it now Issac?"

"Uh yeah, I think so thank you."

"No problem, thank you for partnering up with me. Everyone seems afraid of me and I don't know why?"

"I don't have the answer to that, you seem nice."

She looked at me with hopeful eyes, her eyes where very pretty. Very vibrant blue, reminded me of the color baby blue. She never was one to smile either, I guess my company made her happy. The way she dressed was pretty different as well, she looked like an emo or goth, her hair was platinum blonde, and straight. Her skin was porcelain, i've never really been into pale girls, but she pulled it off well. The only colors id see her wear are black, white, or red. Her and I had some small talk after our practice quiz, she'd ask my favorite color, what movies I liked, music anything just to keep my attention.

"Come on horror movies are the best."

"No, sci-fi and thats final."

"Isaac benson phelps you are something different."

"Oh Sarah isabella parks, you are as well."

"Ugh you always tease me, and don't call me by my full name please."

"Not always, and your full name is fun to say."

I snapped back into reality when Michael nudged me, everyone was looking at me. Wondering if I was even listening, I don't understand she seemed so nice.

"Anyways, around summer time she kept a diary. No one would touch it, She'd stay in her room pretty much all the time just to write in that stupid thing."

"Have you ever taken a look inside?"

"No, she'd kill me. But she did keep track of one guy. Her first boyfriend, his name was Max. She was happy with him, they had common interests, do everything together. He loved her, today would've been their 6 month. He was heartbroken after she ended it. That was the day she went "missing". But weirdly enough I tried to contact Max for days, his mother picked up and said he's been dead for a couple of days. But she didn't find out until the morning I called her. His body was found around this area too, she loved this trail for some odd reason. It's like she was connected to it on a "spiritual level". "

"Was the blood poem or any others we didn't read, about Max?"

"No, she never really wrote about Max. Their are a couple of pages about him, But not a lot. Most of the creepy side of things, are about Issac.."

Michael and Sam look at me and looked back each other in confusion,wondering if I actually had a thing for her. The truth is yes I did like her alot, but I wouldn't wanna get between her and Max .Viola read aloud the the letter from her diary.

To my dearest Isaac,
I can't express how you make me feel
The way you look at me with your dark-grey eyes that remind me of cloudy skies
Your perfectly trimmed jet black hair
Your smirk when we have our little fits about what movie genre is better
I was in love with Max, but my heart belonged with you
And my knife belonged in your chest
The thought of seeing your dead corpse
Pumps adrenaline through me
No one is allowed to have you
But me
My love

She then shows us the back of the letter, it was a detailed drawing me. Sitting at the park, this was the day when I was hanging out with her a couple of days before she disappeared. I had no idea she was obsessed with me or even in love with me, Michael and Sam's jaws dropped, at the fact this girl was obsessed with me. Viola didn't wanna read the next one, for some reason she looked uncomfortable.

"YOU SEE, I TOLD YOU!"

"What are you going on about?"

"Dude she's obsessed with you doesn't that scare you, I know I would be."

"No not really, she's dead remember. And Sam don't get so antsy, and as for you Michael what are you so angry about?"

"HAVEN'T YOU FORGOTTEN,HER BODY IS GONE!"

"Yeah and."

"No Michael has a right to be freaked out, the body is gone, all we have is her diary. She could've easily faked her death."

"Yeah I have to agree with Michael and Viola on this, something seems wrong. The body is gone, the police bodies aren't around, and Max's body not being found until she went missing is quite odd don't you think Issac."

"Guys, calm down let's just head home and pretend we never came here okay, I want to honestly forget all this madness."

Micheal started to get irritated by my responses. I was hiding the fact I was scared, I can't tell them about the night I hallucinated her, but I can just tell the first story, my experience with her.

"NO, YOU BETTER TELL US WHAT HAPPENED! what did you do phelps to make her fall in obsession with you, you are hiding something. You're being way to calm so spill it before I kick your ass."

"Fine you want the truth, Sarah cheated on her boyfriend with me. It was when hung out at the park. She kissed me and I didn't refuse, she'd tell me how she wasn't in love with Max and broke up with him. She also told me how bad her mom treats her and how viola is a complete whore, and wishes she was dead and wants her brother back. And you know what I saw her, last night. I didn't know if It was real but it felt real, she tried to kill me she looked evil.

They were all taken a back by my response, but Viola was not amused by it, she looked as if I struck a nerve in her. Ah shit, they are all pissed.

"She's such a liar, she wanted you to feel bad for her. All that crap about our mom and dad is untrue, they loved us. Damian barley cared she was around he was to busy with friends or golf. As for me, she's just jealous of me and wishes she was normal and didn't have depression."

We all stood there for a good couple of seconds, just trying to all understand what is going on. I had no idea Sarah was that kind of person, god i'm an idiot. Sam of course said nothing, he barely knew Sarah, Michael never was really fond of her, Viola just hated the fact her sister was an awful human being. Viola let out a sigh and leaning on Michael's shoulder.

"Look I think we should all just.."

I got cut off by a rustling in the bush, all of us jumped. I was hoping it was an animal, but it was not an animal, it was a girl. As she stepped closer to us, our heart's dropped to see it was Sarah...
