Silent Memories (Emery Scott)

Chapter Five:

Emery Scott~

The harsh wind rips through my hair as I feel myself clutching my clothes tighter as I walk home from the party. The dark night inspires me, all you can hear is the soft sound of crickets and birds tweeting in the trees and that was when the silence was disturbed. I have always admired the dark nights it clears my mind and allows me to spend time with my thoughts, something I need every once in a while, to reflect on why I am here and what my aim is. I must have been so lost in my thoughts because I was not aware of the footsteps that were creeping up to me quickly until it was nearly too late...

I tried, I tried to increase my speed from a slow walk to a fast one but before I knew it a hand covering my mouth. My initial thought was to fight back as the person began dragging me slurring his words in my ear. I tried to fight back but I couldn't. My body collided with the ground and the powerful kicks to my chest and my stomach taking the wind out of me. I wanted to fight back and scream but I couldn't.

why couldn't I?

I let out a cry as loud as I could, but his hands? His hands began to tighten round my neck each time I struggled it got tighter. I began to feel myself slipping into numbness further and further to the point I did not even notice a car screech to a halt and the cold body thrown off from on top of me.

Once I was released from his grasp. I gasped for air, trying to catch my breath. The sound of punches and grunts echo's through my ears.

I bring myself to look at what is happening and that is when I see it.

I see him.

I did not know his name, all I know is his bipolar behaviour confuses me. But one thing for sure? This boy just saved my life.

I felt my self being scooped up into his arms as tears stream down my face. I am placed down on the leather seats of his car as the door shuts behind me. Before I know it, I can hear the car speeding off and him shouting at me to respond. But I can't. I can't bring the words to my mouth.

"Please talk to me, I need to know you are okay. Shit, shit, shit what do I do what do I do" his voice laced with panic. I tried to choke the words out I tried.

" I.." I sob "I, I " I just felt the tears running down my face "I- I – am okay" I choked. I could see him look towards my face and then divert his eyes back to the road. Before I knew it, the car came to a holt. My body was in agony and I could just about breath but I was fighting to stay awake the pain consuming every inch of me "I can take you to the hospital so you can get checked out okay?" You could hear he was frightened.

"No-no please not the hospital... I don't want to go to the hospital please don't make me" I begged, I begged for him to take me anywhere but there, my parents would find out and that would be the end of my college experience, they would never let me out their sight. He looked back at me panic still laced over his face, it felt like we had been driving for ages but I am not sure of the time concept.

The car stopped and the engine turned off. My door opened and I was enveloped into a warmth as he carried me back to the frat house. Why did he bring me back here? Part of me is glad, glad that I didn't have to go back to the dorm and explain to Romy what had happened, that was even if she was there I had no clue where she was.

He unlocked the door still holding me close to his chest as he carries me up the stairs. It warms me that he was carrying me, relieved me almost because if I tried to walk I'm not even sure I would be able to. I felt so empty and numb. Tears streamed down my face constantly. I was placed on the bed gently, his hands caressing my face wiping the tears away but they were refreshed with a new lot of tears.
