Chapter 2 ~Love Threats~

The next day I isolated myself in my room until my parents made me go to school, I wouldn't

blame them cause they didn't know that I had just been...touched last night so I listened and went. I of course avoided everyone but Sabrina who told me, over text, how much she cried after deleting her "Couple" photos of John, and in my head, I'm thinking "Trust

me you'll hate him if I tell you...", "If"

I tell her. She probably won't believe me anyway though so I'll keep it to myself as I did 5 years ago from my mom. I walked to school after I made and printed a fake doctor's note and turned it in like always it was believed and put in my files. When I

sat at my desk in 3rd period I stared out the window till the lunch bell rang and didn't hear anything the teacher said tell she said something about a quiz, and I groaned with everyone else and mumbled "Great

studying" then the lunch bell rang and I left faster than a girl screaming bloody

murder from a crazy dog. At lunch Sabrina was happy and I could tell she was faking so I hugged her when the tears showed a bit. Only 5 min past and Amy

with "John"

came over and John stared at me for a sec, or lower than my face and I glared turning away "Hey Alice how's your eye",

I flinched when she said that cause she knew that I can't say "It bled for the

50th time earlier because

of how bad YOU cut

me", so instead I said " it bled a bit last night but just fine",

She smiled and looked at Sabrina while John stared at Amy's chest (Bleh),

and Amy really loved Sabrina, in a different way, and she had remembered what happened and told John to go for now. After he went away like an obedient puppy Amy hugged Sabrina, "I know

what happened sweetie, and I promise I'm gonna get revenge for you ok?". After hearing that Sabrina looked shocked at her then...Hugged Amy,

Amy grinned at me secretly and I knew damn well what I should say next time she asks about my eye, and to not hesitate this time.

She hugged her a bit tight and let her go after mouthing to me "Watch it or your

Angel is

mine", then she smiled at Sabrina and walked away. "Your sister is so nice, I'm glad you both are my friends", hearing that....that word coming out of her mouth

about Amy and especially me...made me lose my appetite and I excused myself saying I need to get stuff from my locker before the next class in 20 min.

After I left at the corner of my eye there was John coming towards me and I pretended to not see him as I went to the girl's restrooms, And hid in a stall with my feet up. I heard someone come in and under my stall on the other side was John's white shoes and

he knocked whispering "Little pig~ little pig let me in~" I said nothing, being too scared and frozen to say anything. He went under and stared down at me but right as he was fully in the stall I kicked him, unlocked the stall, and ran out, but

I wasn't fast enough and he pulled my hair, yanking me back, and covered my mouth whispering "Got you piggy~". I thought it was over but then I remembered Sabrina and

bit his hand hard until it bled, he yelled in pain letting me go and I ran out of the bathroom and ran out the main school doors and hid in my favorite bush. After finally catching my breath I calmed myself down by looking at my big -Hollow inside- rose bush

I always hide in....it was so pretty inside, full of some roses that got pushed back in to rot. I pick one up that was dying and whispered "

you're like me..alone, dying, and afraid" I plucked it and kissed it before crushing it "There...I ended your suffering..maybe someday you can do the same for me".

*______________Home____________*

I lay in my bed awake and sigh just reading "Into the forest", one of my favorite books because it has murder, secrets, and a bit of love.

And it's about a girl who can't tell anyone her true secret or she will die, like me.

I start crying a bit and didn't realize mum was home and she heard and saw me cry, so she went up to me and asked what was wrong as she sat with me at my bedside. "What's

wrong?" she asked in her sweet as candy, but serious as a military officer, "Nothing"

I tried but she knew I was lying and told me that if I tell her that she will tell me what her new book is about. I had writer's block recently so I gave in just so I could get some ideas, "I

just miss being a kid, nothing much to

worry about, no matured, nothing but giggles".

she smiled sweetly and hugged me saying "Everyone grows up hun, it's how life is, full of hate, sadness, and even secrets"

you could say that again i

thought "but we all grow, doesn't mean we don't grow out of our laughs though, we can stay the same as long as we're smart and tell

the truth when it's something bad", she looked me in the eye and I knew, that she knew I was hiding something. I sigh knowing I can't keep it any longer."John

threaten to kill me if I told anyone that he tried to

rape me."
