Jeruhmi POV
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I didn't chase after her because I knew what would happen if I did. She would have screamed, I wouldn't have been able to comfort her and I would have lost a best friend.. I couldn't let that happen. So I stormed home, screamed at my pet iguana. Then apologized to it.
My mum came in 3 times asking if I was ok, then if I wanted to talk about it.. Jeez, talk about personal space..
I had currently ran my batter dead while trying to contact Skye.. She hasn't replied to anything.. I was waiting for a reply when I passed out sitting on my floor.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
I woke up to my little sister's face.
"Jurraameee!" She squealed.
"Yes, Zoey?" I said, picking myself off the floor.. I was exhausted. I hadn't eaten, I was worried sick. I had to pee.
"Come pway dwess up!" She begged, yanking my sleeve to my shirt.
"Zoey, I need to get ready for school" I said. I just noticed what time it was.. 7:06am! School started at 8am! Gahhh!
"But Jer!" She wailed.. I got up and checked my phone. Nothing.
"Zoey, go find Ollie, he'll play! I promise!" I said in my best voice. I tried to always be nice to her. I once yelled at her and she was scared of me for weeks on end. I found her sleeping in my bed one day after school, with a note in her hand along with one of my previously worn shirts. In the most scribbly hand writting, it read:
"Dear Jarme, I wove you. I now you didnt meen two yell at me. It ok. Wove, zowy <3" (A/N read it like a four year old, slurring your words. Now is know)
I kept the note. It's framed on my wall. Zoe left to go find Ollie, he was 5 years old, Zoey was only 4. But he liked to play with her, so yea..
I stripped and took a very quick shower, then messed with my hair making it look decent. I then finnished my daily routine with 15 minutes for breakfast and to get to school. I ran down stairs, nabbing my phone before I left the room.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
I was supposed to be in 3rd hour right now.. But I skipped. I was outside, on the swings. Our swings.
I saw Destery today.. He was with Sarah. They looked really happy. Des stopped me and asked me if I knew where Skye was. My heart practically blew up at her name. I told him no, that I hadn't seen her since yesterday. I could have sworn that Sarah mumbled 'good' but I can't be certain..
We all used to be so close. It was just us as our big group of friends.. In 9th grade we used to tease each other that there was a perfect pair. I would get Skye. And we would be Skyhmi or Jerye (A/N: pronounce Skyhmi as sky-me, h is silent. And pronounce Jerye like Jerry) Destery and Sarha would be the other match and they would be Destha or Sarery. (A/N: pronounced des-tha even though its dest from Destery's name and ha from Sar's name. Sarery like sarh-ry.) We had good times but the start of senior year, we all started splitting up. Skye was the only one from our group that really ever cared about me. Over the summer was when Skye hooked up with Des. That day, July 16th, was the exact date I was going to ask Skye out. Lets just say, it never happened.
I snapped back to reality when I heard the school door close. I looked up to see Sarah and Jeruhmi. They were holding hands. I looked down at my phone, which was still blank, and swayed back and forth on the swing. Wait wait what?!!!
I looked up, and relized I wasn't dreaming! Destery was holding Sarah's hand!! I got up, to confront them when I remembered that they wouldn't really care. They would blow it off and that would be it. I had no power over them anymore. I was nothing to them, just somebody that they used to know. I looked over at the slide. Then back at my phone.
A plan popped into my mind. I slipped to the camera app on my phone, then got up. Neither Des nor Sar noticed me, they just continued on with their convo as I snuck up behind them. I stopped far enough away to get a half body shot of them. Then I snapped the picture. I forgot my volume was on, and it made a *SNAP* noise. A loud one too.
Both of them turned around, and I could feel the heat rising in my checks. Great. They both looked at me with disgust. I'm screwed. Something flashed across Des's expression and then gave me a confused look.
"Wait." He said.
"What? He's just some pathetic loser, get lost." Sarah said, obviously Pissed off. So they remembered me in the beginning of school, but not now? Ughh..
"He's not a loser." Des said, almost defending me, "he's our loser!" Des said. I felt relieved.
"Oh" Sarah said, kinda confused. "But can we go. It's so cold!" She whined.
"Why did you want our picture?" Des said. He stepped closer to me. Instincts took me back a step. Why was I always scared!
"I just..." I trailed off. Fuck!! "For arts class!" I said. I was sooo dead.
"We have the same arts class at you, dimrod" Sarah scoffed.
"It's for extra credit, bi-" I stopped. No, no violence. They would twist the story and turn Skye on me. "Bizzy sizzy love, or something like that" I lied. "It has to be about love" I mumbled. They looked convinced.
"Ok. Well, we're skipping, so see ya" des said. They both said bye and left.
I ran to the slide and slid down, I then went to the monkey bars and climbed onto them. I sat down, weaving my legs through the bars. I don't remember how long I sat there, but finally I decided to call Skye. Maybe she got kidnapped and her kidnapper would answer the phone. Maybe she would answer, or her mum.
It rang twice.
"SKYE?" I screamed. I could tell that I sounded WAYY too concerned. Whatever.
"Hey Jer." Skye whispered, she sounded sad. Damnit, look at what I did!
"OMG Skye! I never thought I'd hear from you again.. Are you ok?!" I practically shouted.
"I guess.. Uh Jeruhmi, I'll call you back later.. I'm, uh, with some friends.." She said, fairly unsure.
"Whoa whoa whoa.. I go through the trouble of answering your phone, and then I don't even get to talk to him?" Said an male voice. He was being sarcastic, but still, it made her giggle
"Who's that?" I asked
"Um.. Liam, Liam Payne.." Skye said. Wait what? No way! Liam was my idol! Hehe boy directioner!
"Like, THE Liam Payne?" I asked.
"Yea" Liam and Skye both said in unison.. Skye laughed. It was good to hear her laugh.
"That's awesome.. Glad your dream of meeting 1D finally came true.." I said. The corners of my mouth turned and I was finally smiling.
"Shut up" she whispered. I could almost feel her smile. Both me and Liam laughed. I heard Skye gasp as a door opened.
"Your cuddling in a closet???" Another voice shouted. With just that sentence, I could tell, whoever they were, was wasted. Trust me, my dad was an alcoholic.
"Oi, Nialler.. Calm down" Liam said, I heard the phone fall with a thud. Everything became a bit more muffled. That's when I relised I was on speaker phone.
"It's been over a hour! You expect me to calm down when beautiful over there disappears and so does your mate?!??" He was yelling loud.. I heard quiet sobs,
Skye's sobs. The other boy's words where slurred.
"Niall, just-" Liam was cut off by a thud.
And a bloodcurdling scream.
