Bloody Roses

Chapter Four

After Misty got that text message Drake called the sheriff to come over so they could talk to him about it. All the Sheriff said to do was block them and move on. It's been a week since then and Misty hasn't recieved any messages or flowers at all. Today was the day of the ball and both our mothers pulled us from school early to get ready for tonight.

"Is it bad I am already over this?" I asked Misty who was choosing a pair of shoes while tossing several pairs out at me.

"Come on Amber this is gonna be super fun. Drake is going to love you in that dress. Besides the night will be over before you know it." Misty crawled out of the closet holding a pair of shoes and a couple hand bags.

"Drake and I are just friends. Now just doesn't feel like the right time to start anything." We both kind of just paused and didn't say anything until I spoke up. "So any more creepy messages today?"

Misty jumped up from the floor and twirled in a circle. "Thank the lord I haven't. No texts, no roses, nothing. It's been so nice."

I laughed as she started doing a little happy dance. "That's great Misty. Lets hope it stays that way."

She stopped dancing and glared at me "shush you are going to jinxs it."

Rolling my eyes I caught the bag she tossed at me and laid it on the desk. "We should probably put our dresses on. The boys will be here any minute to pick us up."

And of course I was right Drake and Colton were knocking on the front door. "Amber, Misty come downstairs the boys are here for you." My moms voice echoed throughout the house making Misty jump from the floor and grab her dress.

Misty pulled me from the chair and tossed my dress at me. "Hurry up Amber! You heard the woman."

After twenty minutes we were walking downstairs to see Drake and Colton standing at the door waiting for us.

"You guys have fun. I will see you at the ball in about thirty minutes. Be safe but have fun." My mother kissed my forhead along with Mistys.

When we got to the ball it was in full swing "we were told someone already tried to sneak in so we have to keep an eye out." Drake whispered as he took my hand and pulled me into the building.

Everyone was dancing or sitting at a table with their families or friends. 'Maybe this wont be so bad after all.' I thought as Drake pulled me to a table filled with drinks. How about tonight we just dance and be friends. Like old times.

The night passed by so fast just like Misty said it would and I was actually having fun. The music was so loud I could barely hear Misty shouting my name until she tapped me on the shoulder. "Hey I have to go to the bathroom. Come with me and wait outside please." She held her hands together and gave me puppy dog eyes.

Nodding my head I followed her to the bathroom. As I was drinking the soda Drake gave me I started to wonder what was taking her so long, but I brushed it off. Usually if she had to take a shit she would make me wait outside which I'm thankful for. After about ten minutes I decided to go inside to check on her.

"Umm Misty is everything okay? You have been in here a while." As I walked into the bathroom my foot slipped out of underneath me and I was on my ass. "What the actual fuck" I shouted.

Looking down at my hands I saw that they were covered in something thick and red. Scanning the bathroom I saw no sign of Misty anywhere, only thing I found was her hand bag and a shoe. In the middle of the room was a bunch of scattered roses. My entire body was froze. I didn't know what to do. I was covered in Mistys blood and most definitely couldn't go out into the crowd of people. Eventually someone will notice that we are missing and come looking for us.

Sure enough Drake came looking for me. "Amber, where are you?" He knocked on the bathroom door and slowly pushed it open.

"Help" was the only thing I could squeak out.

Drake quickly bent over and grabbed my hand "Amber what happen. Are you hurt, where is Misty?"

I was just sitting there watching him look around the large bathroom. "Colton! Come here."

Colton ran into the bathroom freezing when he saw the blood that had covered the floor. "What the fuck happened in here?" He shouted making Drake cover his mouth.

"Just go tell Mr. Evans we need to get everyone out of here and we need to get the police here." Colton just stood there until Drake shouted "GO."

After about ten minutes of just sitting there with Drake holding onto me Colton and Mr. Evans came running into the bathroom with my mother in behind him. Both of them froze and stared at the puddle of blood that had now spread further towards the door.

"Oh my lord. What happened in here?" Drake gave me a squeeze making me look up at Mr. Evans.

Tears started pooling in my eyes making my mother walk over towards me. "I think someone got Misty."

Mr. Evans face went pale and he looked at the now red floor. "You're joking. Come on Amber tell me where she is."

I shook my head and held my hands up "Misty was in here alone while I stood outside the door waiting for her to come out. I came in here to check on her and found nothing but her bad a shoe and blood."

My mother stood in front of Mr. Evans and told him to get out of the bathroom and call the cops.
