Far From The Truth

Chapter 24

CHAPTER 24 IS HERE! WHOOOOP!!!!!! :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Avril's POV

I was surprised by Blaise's comforting, but I accepted it regardless, because it was what I really needed right then. When I calmed down enough to stop crying, I looked up to see Blaise on his cell phone. Hmph, I guess I hadn't realized that he was talking on the phone until I stopped crying. Anyways, he seemed to be on the phone with the police. "Yes, we're in the hospital. Yes, I'm sure. Are you deaf or something? WE. ARE. IN. THE. HOSPITAL. Now send some guys over to take care of the a$$, before I do something you guys will regret letting me do. I however, will not regret anything." Then he hung up and I guess realized I was done crying.

I sat up and leaned against the wall behind me. I took deep breaths as I closed my eyes and tried to calm down as much as I could after almost being raped and beaten by a grown man. That sicko.

I heard Blaise clear his throat, but I didn't open my eyes. "The police are on their way."

I nodded my head, but otherwise didn't do anything. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It startled me so my eyes snapped open and I stood up quickly, and Blaise standing with me. I guess I was a little lightheaded from crying so much, so of course, me being me, I tripped over my own feet and effectively fell onto Blaise, knocking him onto the ground. I landed on top of him and we kind of just stared into each other's eyes. Oh those beautiful green eyes...

I don't remember when I started closing my eyes, but all I know is that I did. Blaise did too and soon we were leaning closer and closer, until I felt his lips connect with mine. I know this is cliché, but I seriously felt sparks flying and my lips tingled as our lips were connected softly. Fireworks were flying and I was shocked, to say the least.

The kiss ended after a few seconds, but it was still enough time for me to feel the sparks. When I opened my eyes, Blaise was opening his, and when he saw me, his eyes widened.

I pressed my fingertips to my lips and looked into his eyes. That was my first kiss...Blaise just stole my first kiss! Oh my god, how did that happen? Why did he kiss me?

I scrambled off of him quickly and scooted over the floor until my back hit the wall opposite him. My eyes never left his.

It felt like our eyes were locked for hours, when it was probably only a minute or two. How did that happen? There were so many questions running through my mind at that moment, but the one that stood out the most was...

Did Blaise...like me?

-----Blaise's POV-----

Why did I do that?

Why did I kiss Avril?

Why was it the best kiss of my life?

Did I...

Did I like Avril?

-----Jace's POV-----

"Alright Dyl, I'll be home soon. CALM YO BUTT BRO!" I laughed before hanging up on my extremely annoying brother. I was at the mall, and it was around closing time, 8 o'clock at night. I grabbed my bags from the seat next to me at my table in the food court, and started heading to the front doors of the mall. I took the bus here so I decided to just walk back home. It wasn't that far anyways.

Once I was outside, I pulled out my iPhone and headphones. I plugged them in and turned on One Direction. This was seriously embarassing, but I loved them, and I was a serious fangirl. I was thinking about taking Avril with me to one of their concerts, because I knew she would love that. I was jamming out to one of their new songs, Live While We're Young, when I felt someone looking at me. I turned around, but saw no one. I shrugged and turned back and continued walking/dancing along with the song. A minute later, as I was walking past a small coffee shop, I felt the pair of eyes on my back again.

I turned around and saw a guy, around my age or a little older, standing off in the shadows, staring at me with a smirk on his face. The look he was giving me sent chills down my spine. But I refused to show that he scared me, so I took a small step towards him and said, "Excuse me? Can I help you?"

The guy let out a bone-chilling laugh, low and evil, and stepped out of the shadows. He had a black buzz cut, but I couldn't really see his face in the darkness. "You help me? No no no. But...I have something else I need."

I gulped inaudibly, so he couldn't tell I was scared sh!tless. "W-what is that?" I stuttered out involuntarily. Dang it...

"Your money." The guy answered before a bunch of other guys appeared out of an alley and ran at me. They grabbed my arms and one of them slapped his hand over my mouth, so that I wouldn't scream I'm guessing. The gang dragged me into the alley, all the while I was kicking and thrashing, trying to get away.

Oh god, they were gonna beat me and rape me. They were going to rob me! Oh god, I haven't told James I love him yet. There were so many things running through my mind, but they were erased when one of the guys threw me on the ground. A felt the tears start to well in my eyes because of the pain.

The gang started kicking me in the stomach and all over my body. I let the tears run free now, and as one of the guys pulled out a knife, I started crying harder. Oh god, they're going to kill me! They guy put the knife against the skin on one of my arms and dragged it down from my elbow to my wrist, slowly and painfully. I let out a terrified scream, which led to them kicking me and punching me in the gut.

But I guess someone heard my scream of pure terror, because there were footsteps coming from outside the alley. The gang members all looked at each other before they grabbed my wallet out of my purse and started running the opposite way of where the footsteps were coming from. I was just laying there with my eyes barely open, when I saw the source of the footsteps. It was a guy, around my age, but I couldn't see his features very well.

When he got closer, I could see him more clearly, although my vision was blurry from tears and the blows I took to the head. He had brown hair and brown eyes...wait...Dylan? "Sh!t! Jace?! Oh my god! Jace!" The boy called out and I realized it was Dylan.

"Dylan?" I croaked out, before my eyes closed and everything went black.

-----Dylan's POV-----

Oh god.

This can't be happening.

What do I do, what do I do?!

I ran over and kneeled next to my sister. Oh my god. She looked horrible, with blood all over her face and bruises already starting to form on her body. I stayed there for a few minutes, too shocked to do anything. When I came back to Earth, I quickly whipped out my cell phone and dialed 911. I answered all of their questions, annoyed to no extent, then I collapsed next to my unconscious sister and cradled her head in my lap.

Please be okay.

-----Avril's POV-----

I was sitting across the room from Blaise, still in the same position as before, and still staring into his eyes. "Avril...I..." Blaise trailed off quietly, trying not to startle me I was guessing.

Tears formed in my eyes, I wasn't sure why, but they did. All I knew was that I had to get out of there. And fast.

I jumped up on my feet without warning and ran out of the hospital room, the tears threatening to spill. I heard Blaise calling after me, calling my name as I ran down the hall, but I kept running until I found the bathrooms. I ran into a stall and collapsed onto the ground.

Why am I so weak?
