The Dead Flower

Chapter Fifteen

As I wake up with my alarm, I apply some concealer to hide the marks on my cheek. I put on my usual clothes plus a hoodie. I just feel like shit right now. I hurry downstairs and thank God no one is awake.

"Amanda are you okay, your eyes look swollen as if you've been crying. "Sophie asks as she spots me. I nod at her not trusting words to come out. Looking around I notice Kane is staring at me with that look that says 'what the hell happened to you 'I ignore him and head to my locker.

I try to ignore everyone all day. My mission faills as I am pulled to an empty classroom by Kane.

"Princess I know you are avoiding me. You're not answering my texts or calls. "

"I'm not ignoring you. "I tell him with my so ruspy voice.

"Are you okay? "he asks with a sad expression on his face. This makes me break down in front of him.

"Shhshh princess. Stop crying you are gonna make me cry also. Please. " I cry harder on his shoulders .

"Amanda stop crying please. Look at me. "he says holding my face in his hands. "look at me please.

I see sadness in his eyes once I look up. "Please stop crying for my sake please. It breaks me to see you crying. I'm here for you ."he says looking at me in the eyes. He goes ahead and wipes my tears away.

"We are going to eat now. And princess no excuse. It's final."

"okay "

As I walk in the cafeteria, I follow him as he leads me to my usual table. I avoid Karina's and Nathans gazes as I focus in my food.

"Amanda are you okay ?You seem kinda of pale today. "Danielle asks.

"Am okay Danellle. "I tell her.

"Princess at least eat something. " Kane whispers. I nod as I try to eat.

"Carrie can we talk.? "Karina asks

"Nope, there is nothing to talk about. "I answer her still looking at my food which looks tasteless.

I see that Danielle is staring at the two of us like what the fuck is wrong look.

I just hate how my life is right now. I just hate myself for causing myself all this. First of all I was not supposed to be born as my dad put it. I was an accident. With that in mind, I feel a tear dropping down my cheek . I feel a hand wipe it away and see that Kane is looking at me ."Come on "he whispers.Looking up I notice everyone is looking at me great. That is my whole table.

Kane stands up abruptly and pulling me with him as we head outside the cafeteria. I notice that Karina followed us behind.

"Carrie come on please can we talk?"

"I said no.i say heading to the bathrooms.

I spot Kane outside the bathroom as he leads me to the parking lot .

"What are we doing here? "

"We are leaving early today. You don't seem to be okay to me. Also your mind is somewhere else. "he says holding my car keys .

"Kane thank you for everything. "I say to him as we drive to unknown destination. He only nods as he continues driving.

Let me tell you a bit about myself that you don't know. I'm an emotional wreck. Once I break down, I may stop after almost a week later or after I find peace and answers. That's why I'm still in this wreck. Everything always seems pointless more than my tears.

"Who slapped you.? "This question catches me unaware.

"Mhhhhh? "

"I asked who the fuck slapped you I can see fingerprints on both sides of your face. Please don't lie. "He says with a concerned look.

"Ooh you've noticed it. "

"Yeah, who did it.? "

"If I tell you don't freak out "

"I won't. "

"My dad. "

"What "

"Yeah don't freak out ."He nods as he drives to a garden which is beautiful and has a beautiful deserted house.

He lead me to a tree which I don't see where we are going until he speaks again. Making me look down to a tomb stone

"Meet Karen Taylor Alexander my twin sister. "
