Could He Be The One? ⇾l.hemmings [completed]

♪Chapter 24 ♪

I ran to Kum and Go, for what I don't know. I walked in and looked for a bag of ice and then salt.

Was I running away? Am I leaving the ones I love. I thought as I grabbed what I needed. I walked to the clurk and he scanned my items. He handed me bag and I walked out of the store.

My phone buzzed several times, I didn't want to answer it and I didn't need to answer it. My curiosity got the best of me and I slid it out of my jean pocket.

Luke: Lauren, where are you? Please come back.

Dad:Lauren come home now, we need to talk.

Kayla: Listen, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

I shoved my phone in my pocket and headed for the lake. It was only a little while away so I took my time getting there.

When I reached the lake I sat down on the sand and pulled out an ice cube from my bag. I put it on my arm and poured salt on it. The burning sensation made me wince and blink away tears.

I took another, then another until I had four lined up on my arm. I poured more salt. A hand landed on my arm and I jerked away, knocking over the ice cubes.

I turned my head and saw Micheal looking down at me. His red hair looked faded and dull. "What are you doing?" He demanded, his grip on my arm now stronger.

"Nothin-" He cut me off.

"Yes you are. Razors now salt and ice? Don't you know how dangerous that is? We've been looking for you for hours." He lifted me up and dragged me over to his car.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked him. I saw through the windshield Luke and my dad. Both talking and then their gaze landed on me. "How'd you know where I'd be?" I demanded.

"You can thank your dad to that." He opened the back car door and ushered me in. I was in the middle of Luke and my father.

"Well?" My dad asked.

"Well what? Do you want me to tell you everything that happened?" I snapped.

"No. I want to know why you've been lieing to me, and not telling me about the spider bites."

"Because I knew you wouldn't allow me to have them. You want me to be this perfect little angel!" I screamed.

"Lauren. Why did you run off this morning?" Luke asked.

"I heard your dad yelling at you, about me." I whispered. "Now let me out." I reached for the door handle but Luke blocked it.

"No." He said firmly. "You need to tell your dad everything that has happened." I looked at him and saw that he wasn't backing down. I shrinked against the cushions.

I turned to my dad and took a shaky breath. "That day that I had come home from school crying, it wasn't because I had a fight with a friend. It was because I was being bullied.

Kids were calling me names, throwing things at me, and judging what I was, what I am. I hid in my room sobbing, because I had just sliced skin off my wrist." My dad looked at me blank faced.

"I'm sorry. It's been going on for a while, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm sorry for not being perfect. I'm sorry for being a mistake. Now let me out."

I pushed past Luke and opened the car door. "Lauren!" Luke called after me. "Lauren come back. Please." You here him whisper.

I stopped and slowly turned around. His hair was tangled and the color had vanished from his face. I looked down at my wrist and said to myself, He'll help you.

I took a step forward and then ran to him. He did the same and them wrapped me in a hug. Hot tears welded up into my eyes. "I love you so much." I whisper. His grip got stronger.

"I love you too."
