Abduction [EDITING]

Chapter 13 Part~2

~MEMORIES

My eyes opened to the bright white light peeking in through my window. For some reason, I didn't want to wake up just yet. I didn't want to open my eyes to the world just yet. What would I do once I reached school, I asked myself. Avoid the pitiful eyes glaring at you, I replied to myself. Why did Anna leave me so early?  Why?  I held back the tears that threatened to fall. My heart stung with the memories we'd built together. She wasn't just Anna, she was family. I didn't want to go to school, yet. I felt so alone. I sat back on the bed when a thought suddenly struck me. What happened last night?

Jason. We were going out. We stopped at a bar. I-i drank too much and rest of the night was a blur. What if I'd done something? I had to ask Jason. He wouldn't take advantage of me like that, I knew that for sure. He wouldn't. it scared me to think I'd lost the one thing i had because of a hangover with a guy I wasn't even sure I had feelings for. If I had to figure out what happened, i had to go to school. I groaned in frustration.

I did my 'usual school dressup' in not more than fifteen minutes. Since i didn't wear makeup, I took less time to get ready than most of the girls.

I decided to walk today. Maybe fresh air would do me good. However, I quickly regretted the decision as soon as I was halfway. The cold air brushed past my skin rather harshly, and for a minute I thought I felt Anna's hand in mine. I looked sideways to come face to face with her usual morning face, beaming at me.

'Don't miss me,' my heart suddenly dropped and I snapped out of my daydream, finding myself smiling at empty air. My heart dropped to my stomach and I suddenly felt nauseous. I was so, so lonely. A tear escaped my eyes and I quickly wiped it off.

'Anna, wherever you are, I'll...I'll avenge your death. You didn't die for nothing. You didn't...'

'Anything wrong?' I looked back to find a guy with black hair with a concerned look on his face. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

'I'm fine, thanks,' I turned around to leave but he caught hold of my hand midway.

'You honestly look rough, is it because of your friend Anna?'

'Excuse me?'

'Just the rumours going round school, she's dead and all,' he said it so casually I wanted to punch his face.

'I heard, but you need to mind your own business,' I spat.

'Just sayin' I'd seen you two together and stuff before...I'm really sad for what happened,' he sure seemed the opposite. His words only hurt me more, the blood rushed to my cheeks.

'What is your problem? You're so sick! I can't- believe people like you-' By then the tears started falling down my cheeks and i couldn't find the voice to talk anymore.

'You probably think I'm a jerk-'

'I think nothing, just leave me alone!' I said, abit harshly and covered my face with my hands. I stood there for awhile, trying to control my tears and I thought he'd left. A hand went around my shoulders and I could feel his build towering over my body, hugging me. I was in shock, at first but when it sunk in, I gave in to the warmth of his body and let all my grief flow through the tears I'd held in.

Surprisingly, it made me feel better than I'd felt in days.

I stared blankly at the empty chair next to me, wondering why he hadn't come. Was it because of last night? What happened last night? I groaned in frustration. My life was officially a disaster.
