staircase to heaven.

cold case 317

Kaydens POV

i ran from detention, slightly confused by Alfie's reaction to "nothing" as he said. As i raced through the door i saw it. The tell-tale sing he was home. the empty bear can.

Suddenly i felt him grab me and throw me across the room . 

Then everything was black.

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

i'm not sure how bad he hurt me but when i woke up i was slumped against the wall, dried blood covering most of my face and arm, bruises starting to develope on my arms , around my eye and on my stomach.

Slowly i walked to school my head bowed so as no one would see the state my face was in, my jacket pulled over my hands to hide the damage. It was like my whole reality was a play that started the second i closed the front door.

"late " shouted mr macallun 

"sorry sir" i mumbled keeping my head down and letting my hair fall around my face

"sit down" he yelled

i sat in my seat , with my fake smile on my face and my fake friends around me, wondering were Alfie was.

i went the whole day with out seeing Alfie and it wasn't untill i was walking home that i saw him.

Alfie's POV

i skipped school today , mostly because i wanted to spend the day finding out about Kayden. i faked being sick so as my dad would leave me in the house alone and when he left i jumped down the stairs and ran to the laptop.

not knowing where to start i typed 'kayden smith' in to google . 57,300 results.

so typed her name into facebook. 3 results , but none looked like her. as a last result i typed her name into my dads cold case database .

nothing , only a case from 2003 about a little girl called Ricki Smith who went missing.

dishartend i got dressed and went to see if i could catch her on her way home.

Kayden's POV

i saw him walk up the street as i was walking into my house. his dark hair was messy but it didn't look wierd on him, his perfect face looked distressed and his deep blue eyes where full of broken hope and sadness. i didn't know what was up with him and i didn't want to find out because that ment we would be friends and i didn't want anyone getting close to me.

i watched him saddly from my bedroom window as he walked towards the school and then i waited for him to return. I never found out if he did walk past my house again because after an hour or so my dad came in.
