I'm Not Sure What Happened

chapter 29

Once we get there we put on our masks and head inside to the gym. We stop and stand on the side. A guy walks up to us who looks familiar but I can't tell with the mask.

"Aren't you two Olivia and Alex?" He says his voice very familiar. He lifts up his mask and that's when I realize it's officer Moore.

"Oh, hey officer Moore!" I say with a smile.

"Well I have to go back to monitoring. You two enjoy yourselves."

"We will!"says Alex.

Alex and I do a dance together and then go back to the side. I look over to see Alex but he's gone. He must of went of to talk to one of his friends. I look for him but it's kinda hard to find someone who looks the same as everyone else. I just decided to wait on the side until he comes back.

I hear a low voice behind me say, "Olivia."

I turn around to see an older man also in a mask behind me. He didn't seem too happy. He quickly spins me back around.

"Don't even think about getting help or else I'll stab this knife through you and kill you, right here, right now."

I freeze and not move. The knife at my side where no one could see it. I finally see Alex coming back to me from across the gym. I mouth to him go get help. I'm not sure he understood though because he just keeps on coming towards me.

"You were supposed to be already dead by now and your mom was going to be bait for you father. Since you were saved from dying we had to kill your mom and I'm not afraid to do it to you two" whispers the man behind me.

I knew I had to stop the man behind me. I had to get the knife out of his hands. Before he hurt me, or anyone else but I knew if I moved, I would die. Alex was getting closer and I had to do something. I finally work up the nerve and move to the side a bit and then go to run. The knife ends up cutting me above my elbow and the man grabs my arm. That man was bound and determined to kill me! I dodge the knife as he goes at me.

Everyone was panicking and I frankly was two. I was very close to being killed. If he manages to get me with the knife I would be dead. Alex is suddenly by my side trying to make sure I'm not hit while trying to get me out of his grasps. Then Officer Moore is also by us. I had wish he had brought a gun. Then I'm with Alex and he is leading my down the hall. I hold tightly onto my right arm has Alex holds me. He has his hand on top of my hand which is holding the cut. Alex has me sit down on the ground close to the doors.

"Are you okay?" he asks.

He looks so worried and scared. A tear ran down his face. That's when I realize the palm of his left hand is cut.

"Im good, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" he says ignoring me.

"Alex, your hurt."

"And so are you."

He keeps his face straight. He has me move away my hand. His hands are shaking badly.

"Alex," I say but he doesn't listen. "Alex," I try again but he still is trying to help me. "Alex stop!"

I grab his hands and he finally looks me in the eyes.

"Alex, you're not okay."

"I thought I was going to lose you Olivia."

"Well you didn't and Im right here and..."

"What is it?"

"You shouldnt of saved me that day you found me...thats why your in trouble...and why my mom is dead."

"You don't know that!"

"Yes I do. That man even told me that I was supposed to be dead but since I wasn't they killed my mom."

"Olivia, I would never of been able to leave you."

"You should of...you wouldn't of been in trouble if you did."

"Olivia...please don't say that."

"You should of...you didn't even know me."

"Yes I did. I had seen you in classes and in the halls. We went to the same school and you know that."

"So that didn't mean you had to save me!"

I look up to see tears running down Alex's face. He really cared for me. He worried about me and that is why he saved me then.

"I had a crush on you and I just never worked up the guts to tell you."

I immediately wrap my arms around him. He does the same back but I can tell he is being careful not to touch my cut and not to touch my dress with his bloody hand. Tears start running down my face. I hear sirens outside but I'm not sure which side of the building. I hear someone coming closer to us but I don't dare pull away to see who it is.

I look over to see Officer Moore as he asks, "are you two okay?"

Alex and I pull away but he still keeps his right arm around me. He tries to wipe his tears with the back of his left hand but I can tell it hurts him to much.

"Let me see your hand" says Officer Moore.

Alex holds out his hand and Office Moore holds it lightly. I wipe away Alex's tears and he looks at me and smiles. I don't bother wiping my tears away as they still on occasion fall down my face. While Officer Moore takes car of Alex's hand with the first Aid kit that he brought Alex just looks at me. He takes his arm away from around me and wipes the tears on my face. Officer Moore moves to me as has me move my hand from my arm. He quickly wraps something tightly around the cut and then wipes the blood off my hand.

He has us get up and come with him to the other side of the church. There's an ambulance waiting for us. Officer Moore has his arms over each of our shoulders. The people from the ambulance have us get in right away. I knew we were fine. We would probably only need a few stitches but everything else was fine. Once we sit down in the ambulance I lay my head down on Alex. A lady was with Alex while a guy was with me. He kept telling me that everything is going to be just fine and he made sure I was comfortable. I felt safer then before but I keep close to Alex. We get to the hospital where I get few stitches. Alex's cut wasn't bad so he didn't need any but they wrap up his had for him.

We meet our dad's in the waiting room and they both hug us tightly. My grandmother must of stayed home since I didn't see her anywhere. We head outside where Officer Moore is waiting for us in his car. Alex climbs I'm first, then I climb in behind him and his dad gets in right beside shutting the door. My dad and officer Moore sit in the front. I felt really tired and cold. Officer Moore had started the car and we we're heading somewhere but I'm not sure where. I end up leaning onto Alex and he puts his arm around me being careful not to touch my shoulder. My eyes feel heavier and heavier as my head lays on Alex's chest.

I must of fallen asleep because when I open my eyes again I'm being carried. I look up to see that it's Officer Moore that is carrying me. I look over to see the police station that we're going two.

"Just close your eyes and relax Olivia" says Officer Moore.

"What about my grandmother?" I had many more questions like "what are we doing at the police station?" but I couldn't bring myself to keep asking them.

"She had to go home."says my dad who is right by Officer Moore.

I lean my head back onto Officer Moore. When it gets warmer I know we had gotten inside. There was a different smell I'm the air. A bit later I feel myself being laid down but I'm too tired to sit up or see where I am. I push off my shoes and slowly fall back asleep
