Chapter 24
“Why were you sleeping, pacing and ignoring me in my room? What’s got you so worried? Please tell me. You can trust me, I won’t tell anyone.” He said still looking in my eyes but talking soft.
“I don’t know” I answered honestly. I don’t know… why don’t I know? I should know. I am pacing around in his room, I was sleeping in his room, and I am not listening to what he says. Why am I sleeping in his room? Why am I pacing in his room? Why am I not listening to what he says? Why am I not listening to what he is saying? I should be listening to what he’s saying.
I looked at Samuel and saw his mouth moving but I didn’t hear what he was saying, am I deaf? I thought but just then his voice filled my ears “Are you even listening to me? I am saying really important things here.”
I nodded my head “Yes I am listening to you” I said.
“What did I just say then?” he asked with one eyebrow raised and his arms folded over his chest.
“I said I am listening, not that I was listening to what you were saying.” I copied his stance but one of my feet was a little bit more forward than his.
Wow I am really being bitchy all of a sudden… maybe I should go to sleep, yeah that’s a good idea. “I guess I should go to bed now, because I am acting really bitchy now and I think that is because I am tired. I am so sorry for being bitchy, will you please forgive me?” I looked at him.
“Eve, don’t worry” he said softly holding me by my arms “I am not mad at you; I understand that you are a little stressed and everything. You don’t have to apologize for that. Everybody has one of those days that they just act a little ‘’bitchy’’ as you put it.” he finished with a smile, and I automatically smiled back and hugged him.
“Thank you” I said and I quickly went back when he was about to put his arms around me.
“Sorry, I don’t even know why I did that… I’ll be going now. HEY! I said I’ll that’s an improvement right?” he chuckled and said yes “You just have to work on your voice, it’s little bit too girly.”
“I will, bye” I waved my hand and turned back to walk out the door but being me I tripped over a pile of stuff and fell on another pile of clothes. Samuel started laughing and he was doubled over while clutching his stomach. I felt the heat rush to my face and wanted to stand up but I noticed that I couldn’t, it felt like I was paralyzed, I couldn’t move my legs nor arms, I couldn’t even move my head.
“Samuel” I asked scared “Samueeelllll!!” I felt a tear running across my cheek. Then all of a sudden pain shot through my body and I screamed, it was an earsplitting scream and Samuel immediately stopped laughing and hurried over to me.
“Evangeline! What’s wrong?” he asked he asked worried but I couldn’t speak, my body was just in too much pain.
“Say in your mind what’s wrong” he said and I was confused but I couldn’t frown it hurt just too much. It huuuuurrtttssss!!! I screamed in my mind and Samuel winced.
“Where? Where does it hurt?”
Everywhere! I was in too much pain to notice that Samuel could read my mind.
“Oh no. hold on for a sec.” I didn’t really hear what he said and tried not to scream when Samuel pulled something big over my head, I thought that he was going to kidnap me but instead he picked me up bridal style and ran.
What felt like hours later for me we were in the principal’s room “You can open your eyes now” he said, I didn’t realize that I closed them. When he saw my pained expression he quickly held out a cushion.
“You can scream in this cushion if you want” I didn’t hesitate and took hold of the cushion that he held; I buried my face in it and screamed. That scream lasted for two whole minutes. After that scream I felt like my body was on fire, I was exhausted and I was out of breath. I just wanted to sleep and not feel this pain in my body, it was not as painful as the beatings I had to endure, but it still hurt a lot.
Someone held my back so I wouldn’t fall off of the couch I was laid on, I feel really, really dizzy, I thought to myself, and I held my head and tried to stand up.
“No you are going to lie down for a bit.” Samuel said… or was it Jason? I couldn’t tell there were three of them.
“WOW!” I said now there stood twelve people. “Ha ha.” I pointed to them “There are twelve of you” I said giggling.
“I think she’s gonna pass out” someone said.
“Yup, I think she is” someone else said and then I heard laughing and everything went black.
“Ughh.” I said while holding my head “Why does my head hurt so much?” I said to no one in particular.
“Well why do you think” someone with a deep angry voice said and I swear I almost jumped two meters in the air. When I looked to see who that was I started backing up, I wanted to be as far as possible from him.
He stepped forward and my eyes widened, “No please, please do not come closer. Please” I begged, my eyes started watering, he can’t come closer. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. I begged in my mind, not that he could hear it but maybe the universe did, or something like that. “Please” I begged again but he still came closer and closer and I was still backing away and then my back hit the wall
