Sweetest Confusion

Chapter Twenty-Six: Silence

"Where have you been?" Daniel shouted when I put my key in the door.

"Why do you care?" I shot back.

"I was worried. I texted and called you multiple times after school but no one knew where you were." He looked angry.

"It's none of your business where I go and what I do!" I shouted at him. I was getting sick of his protectiveness. It was cute up to a certain point but then it got annoying.

"You could have been hurt or something and I wouldn't know!" He said.

"Why do you always assume the worst? Why do you think I'm so fragile that I will just break?" I screamed.

"Because I love you." he said quietly.

"Well it's fucking annoying that you want to know everywhere I go. Maybe I should wear a tracking device!" I screamed in his faces, angry tears falling from my eyes.

"I didn't mean it like that." he lowered his head.

"You damn well shouldn't mean it like that." I spat before chucking my shoes on the floor and running up the stairs, slamming my bedroom door after.

Sure it was childish but why couldn't Daniel understand. He was like an overbearing parent. Like a constant itch that can't be relieved. I jumped onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. I went to the village to calm my emotions but I come back to have them blow up again.

It was early evening so I decided to meet Jeremy. Grabbing a duffle bag from my wardrobe I stuffed a towel, a water bottle and my mask. I stripped out of my clothes and wore a black tank top and tight black leather trousers. I zipped up my black hoodie attached to a black leather jacket and pulled on black socks and red trainers. It looked like I attempting a heist or something. I stuffed my box of makeup in my bag as well.

I was ready to leave, but I didn't want to have to face Daniel again so I took the window. Carefully I stepped out onto the ledge, balancing there while I let my bag drop to the ground. Once I was convinced I heard it fall I made my way down the tree next to my room. It was quite sturdy so I was able to get down with ease. I landed with a gentle thud, freezing as I heard a sound.

But it turned out to be the leaves rustling in the wind. As silently as I could I made my way through the back entrance of my garage.

I pushed my bike out on to the road and away from my house before I started it because I didn't want it to make a sound and alert the neighbours. Daniel had already left my house to go back to Jamie's so there wasn't the possibility that he would know where I'm going.

I stuffed the duffle bag into the small storage compartment in the seat and set of to my destination after putting on my helmet.

As I was approaching my intended place I heard loud music, and saw lots of cars lining the road. Guys were sitting on their bumpers, girls in their arms. They were with talking, making out and some of them were comparing their engines among other things.

As I drove through everyone quietened down. The guys were quiet while the girls stared at me. I ignored them ad continued down the road. There were a lot of people considering it was a Friday night. The quiet hum of my bike could be heard as well as the music that could be heard from the warehouse.

I drove all the way to the entrance of the warehouse converted club. The bouncers and the people waiting to get in stopped to see me. I swung my leg around the bike and pushed down the stand. I lifted off my helmet and shook out my hair. Leaving the helmet on the seat I carried my duffle bag to the entrance. Whistling I walked through the doorway only to be stopped by the bouncers.
