Gone

Chapter 9

I sat on the bench outside the room that Faith was in, waiting for news. I messaged Alex telling him what happened and where I was, he hadn't replied yet. Then a nurse came out, I instantly started crying. She's dead, she's gone, Faith is gone, I thought.
"Willow, Faith has requested to see you." The nurse shouted.
My eyes widened in surprise,
"Shes alive!?" I yelled.
The nurse smiled then walked into the room. I followed behind. As I walked into the room I saw Faith laying on a bed eating jelly. She smiled at the sight of seeing me. I ran up to her, hugged her and then started crying with joy.
"Your alive!" I yelled, "Don't ever do that ever again Faith, I thought you were gone!"
"Thankyou for everything" she whispered, "did you read the note?"
I pulled it out of my pocket and said "No".
She snatched it out of my hand and stuffed under the blanket somewhere.
I gave her a confused expression.
"I'll save it for next time" she said, sounding weak.
This time, I gave her an angry expression.
"There won't be a next time." I raged.

I Laid on my bed and sighed. I'm so thankful that they were able to save Faith. As I rolled onto my stomach I got a notification on Facebook. I took my laptop from the end of my bed and opened it.
"Sophie Albert tagged you in a photo"
I clicked on the notification and it was a photo, (obviously) a really bad photo, of me. It was earlier today when Faith was getting bashed and the boys grabbed me. I have the most horrible expression on my face like OMG. Just make the most ugliest face you can make, but at the same time you look really scared, and then it should be close to what I look like in that photo. I don't know who Sophie Albert is, and where she was when it was all happening. I looked at the comments, most of them made me feel like shit to be honest.
"Wow, what a looser."
"LOL!!"
"Ew is that Willow? She's an idiot"
"Haha she totally deserved getting bashed"
"Wait, who is she? Awesome face though lol"
"Good shot !¡!¡!"
I felt like writing a comment back but I didn't know what. I felt like I was going to throw up. I felt useless and ugly. I felt so like UGH. I needed to punch something... or kill someone. I walked up to my mirror.
IM SO UGLY! My inner voice said.
I punched my mirror right in the reflection of my face. Glass shattered everywhere, one piece flew into my hand. I got so angry.
"ARGGGGHHHH" I screamed as I threw the glass at my wall.

I fell face first onto my bed and sobbed for about 5 minutes until Alex messaged me. I sniffed as I took my phone from my pocket.
"Hey, I saw the post, are you alright?" he messaged.
"Not really" I replied.
"Wanna get some Starbucks?"
"Starbucks always helps" I ended the conversation.
I grabbed $5 and walked to the Main Street. I saw Alex jog into Starbucks. I instantly smiled when I saw him. I ran inside, the first step you take you can already smell the delicious coffee. Alex was sitting in a 2 person booth with his back facing the door and he didn't see me walk in. I tip toed up to him and then crawled my fingers up his back so it felt like a spider. He jumped and then turned around, smiling.
"Hey" I said while he grabbed my hand and pulled me next to him.
"Hi, what would you like?" He asked, sounding like he works there.
"Oh, I'll just have a strawberry and cream Frappe, Grande size though." I replied as I handed him the $5 note.
"I'll pay" he handed me my money back.
I smiled at the thought of him being so kind.

"Here you go" Alex shouted while passing me my coffee.
The old cushions on the seats made a fart like noise when Alex sat down. I giggled and he laughed at my giggling.
"I love your laugh Willow" he sighed, finishing his laughter.
"I love your everything" I replied.
He smiled, showing his teeth, he must of been happy about something.
"Does that mean you love me?" He smirked.
Oh crap, I thought I was doomed for good. I had no idea what to say, like, I did love him, but did i?
"Are you alright?" He asked with confusion.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I answered.
"Because you were kinda just staring at the wall looking worried"
"Oh"
"So, does that mean you love me?"
"I guess"
"Awh, so you don't know?"
"Yes Alex, I love you"
"I love you too" he smiled

It was kinda awkward for a while until he said "So, How are you?"
"Good, I guess" I replied
"You guess?"
"Yeah"
"Tell me how you actually are, Come on, its me, you can tell me anything"
"Oh look at the time, I should get going, see you tomorrow" I said while looking at my phone, and then standing up.

"Wait!" he yelled.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me down next to him. I looked into his sparkling eyes. Our lips were now only a few inches away. I closed my eyes and I felt his soft, non-chapped lips touch mine. He grabbed my waist just as I wrapped my legs around his waist. Just after he grabbed my neck, someone yelled, "GET A ROOM!".

I pulled away and started laughing, he smiled. I said goodbye and drove home.
