Tell Me A Lie

Chapter 3

 I laid back down and tried to close my eyes but guilt was all i thought about. I just did something and it could've hurt Adam if he found out. Now I had more lies. They seemed to stack up. I stayed awake laying there. I was getting hungry and very pissed. Why would I do that? Why would I have a chance of loosing the best part of me? I was shaking my head with my eyes closed. I guess it looked like a nightmare to Tommy. He shook me a little and my eyes came right open. "Kathy are you okay?" I looked into his eyes and he knew. "Tom how long have you been up?" 

       "Long enough to know what happened 10 minutes ago." A smirk grew on his face. "Tommy. Don't ever tell Adam." He nodded. "I'm not that cruel. I like Adam. More than you right now." He sat up and walked over to the bathroom. I laid there for a minute or two. I got up and went to the cafeteria. I sat there eating a sandwich. I was alone. I got into thought. Was I okay? I looked over to see Adam coming down. "Hey beautiful!" He waved. I smiled and did a little wave back. "You get to go home today." Great some good news. "Good, I just want to forget about this." He looked at his feet. "Hey what exactly happen?" I continued to eat so I didn't have to answer. "Kathy?" I looked up at him and his face was filled with worry and sorrow. "Stop looking at me like that." I closed my eyes and turned my head. "I'm sorry...." I cut him off "Adam I'm sorry I can't tell you. Will you respect that?" His face when from worried ti annoyed. "Damn it Kathy what if it happened again? I won't be able to stop it if I don't know what it is." He shook his head and walked away. "Adam." I stood up and watched him walk away. "Don't go." I threw my food on the ground and put both my hands on the table so I could slouch. I was stupid and well an idiot. I just let him walk away. I ran down the hall to see if I could catch him. "Adam!" I screamed his name. No answer. I leaned against a walk and closed y eyes. "Kathy! Long time no see!" I opened one eye to see Jake. "I guess so." I stood up to face him face to face. "So what ya doing looking for Adam?" I knew he was trying to make it about the kiss. "He got mad because he wanted to know what really happened nothing more." I was pissed and not in the mood to deal with him. "Oh well he has to get in line."  He stepped closer and I pushed him away. "Jake, I can't." I turned away and started to walk away. "He doesn't have to know." I shook my head and walked down the hallway.

       Next day

  I got to school and everyone was silent. Haley was the first one to walk up.  "What happened yesterday? Everyone is wondering." I just continued to class. Then it was Sarah. "Kathy! Wait up!" I just continued and they kept coming. I finally turned to face them. "Leave me alone." I was looking for Adam but I couldn't find him. I text him too during class. No answer. I was annoyed and Jake kept coming up to me asking about it. I ignored him. When the day was over I was sitting in my car and waiting for Tommy. I was on my phone then I heard a tap on the window. I rolled down my window a little. "What do you want?" I rolled my eyes to see Jake. "Um exactly I was about to ask you what you where still doing here?" I looked at the time and remembered he had football on Tuesday. "Uh sorry I thought it was Monday. Thanks." He smiled and winked "Anytime." his shirtless body was exposed and his six pack was so perfect. I saw him watching me admire his six pack. "Get a shirt on." He laughed "But you won't admire my body!" I rolled my window up and drove off. He was such a player. I got home and my dad was on the couch drinking so I sunk upstairs. I never knew he drank. I laid on my bed on my laptop watching videos of my favorite band. I heard a knock on my window and I jumped up hoping to see Adam but it was Jake. I rolled my eyes and plopped back down on my bed. He sat there for a few minutes and then I looked to see if he was still there he wasn't. I heard a bang on my door and I went to my closet. I curled up in the corner. No one was home and no one was there to help. "Honey I'm sorry!" it was my dad. I felt a tear come down my face if he saw that I would've been dead right there. I heard my door bust open. "I said I was sorry!" He was mad. Maybe a little worse. I grabbed a old stuff animal and a few shirts and pants to cover myself up. I was totally hidden. I heard the closet door open. "I know your in here." I felt my heart quicken and my hands became wet. I closed my eyes and put my hands in fists. "Don't worry I don't have my knife right now so it won't be as bad." I rubbed my lips together to hold in my scream. I felt the wall to find anyway out. Then I found the attic door. I opened it quietly since I was still in the closet but at least he was on the other side. Anyways he didn't know about the attic. (Walk in closet) I hurried in but silently. I shut the door and placed an old box of mom's belongings in front just in case. I felt more tears fall on my face. I turned on my little lamp in there. I had a diary in there too. I grabbed it nd wrote everything I was thankful for. 

1. Adam

2. Tommy

3. Kyle

4. Lexi

5. Jake

6. ?

I didn't know what else. Was that it for me? I bit my lip trying to figure out. I laid down on the hard ground as I heard my dad tearing apart my closet. I felt my phone go off in my pocket. Glad it was on vibrate. I looked

         Adam: Babe I'm coming over. We need to talk.

            Me: Not a good time

         Adam: Why?

             Me: Just isn't. Please trust me.

       Adam: That's been hard recently

          Me: Adam, what does that mean?

               Nothing

I wanted to throw my phone but I couldn't. "I'll be here all night!!!!!!!!!!!" He was getting worse. I started to crawl over to Tommy's room. This is where we hid just in case. There were another pair of stairs in the attic to get into the highest part of the house. Which was our lounge. It had a mini fridge two chairs and two outlets and a little light. I looked out the mini window and saw Adam walking in front of his house. He was rubbing his head and wiping his eyes with his shirt. I grabbed my phone and text him

               Me: Adam. Are you okay?

             Adam: Just fine.

               Me: Why are you lying?

            Adam: I am okay. I love you. 

                Me: Love ya too.

I worried that was going to be the last time I text him. I pulled up the other stairs and sat on the chair looking at the stars. I heard the attic door open. "I found you!!!" I felt my heart drop. I dialed Jake. He was stronger and faster than Adam. 

 "Sup Babe?" 

"Help me. Asap." 

 "I'm outside on your yard." 

"Come through the front. Go into my room and in the closet my dad...." 

"I'll be there."

  I was counting quietly. "1, 2, 3, 1, 2,3" I was trying to calm myself down. I heard Jake and my dad. I grabbed a little pocket knife dad bought me for my birthday. I put the stairs down to see my dad and Jake fighting. But my dad had the knife. I ran down and tackled my dad off. "Leave him alone." I dropped the knife running so I pulled on his hair and punched him. It was dark so you really couldn't tell. I felt him push me off and stab my leg. I was stuck. It was a little knife it was his big one. I was stuck. I cried out for help. "Kathy!!!!!!" I heard Adam. "Adam!" I saw Jake and my dad fighting. "Jake punch him in the face and come grab me!" He did punch him in the face. Which caused my dad to fall. He picked me up and took me out. We locked the attic up so he couldn't get out till morning. I looked back to see Adam and Jake giving each other a death stare. "Shit Tommy!" I went to stand up but I fell, well almost Adam and Jake grabbed my hand before I fell. Adam pulled me in his arms. "She's mine. Remember that Jake." I felt the tension. "Never planned on stealing her. She's just a another chick." He said it without hesitation. REALLY!?!

          "Anyways Adam I wouldn't go out with him even if we did break up." I kissed Adam's cheek and I saw Jake gulp and march right out of the room.
