Hey everybody it's YNW again, sorry for the delay. I thought this would go up on Thursday but I didn't make the midnight deadline so it'll be up Friday instead, sorry again. To answer your question Lyro, Blake is a guy, if you didn't get the message I sent. Also I noticed that I only mentioned Blake's Dyslexia, never any ADHD in Ch.1 but that's fixed now.
As I stand here watching Blake jump in his car and race home I can't help but feel bad for him, despite the fact that we never talked to each other. It might have something to due with the fact that a week ago I discovered that he and I were going through the same thing, although he didn't know that. Before I get into that though I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Sarah Mays, I'm 16 years old as well as the most popular girl at Lilith High, and I'm currently dating the most popular boy Damien Peters.
Despite all that I do have my far share of secrets; secrets that I don't dare tell anybody that doesn't absolutely need to know them. Firstly I have ADHD and Dyslexia though no one but my mother and my teachers know that nor does anyone else need to know. Speaking of my dad that's the second thing; it's just the two of us in our house because my mom, whoever she was, left shortly after I was born. That's also bothered me but not as much as what's been happening lately. Everything with me and dad was good though, he works for the biggest fine furniture company in the city Lovely Living so he makes sure that I'm taking care of.
Lately though everything hasn't been so good for me. I've been seeing shadows and hearing creepy sounds all around me, and no matter how much I tried to ignore them the shadows and sounds just got closer. Then last week capped off everything I'd been experiencing when I was forced to stay late for detention. Just as I was passing by the computer lab on my way out I saw Blake fighting this thing and somehow he managed to kill it. That day I went home and finally told my mom everything and to my surprise she told me that she had been expecting this for a while and had to get ready for me to leave.
"Hey Sarah you want to come chill at my place?" Damien asked me which snapped me out of my thoughts. "No I need to get home today, I have something important to take care of." I hated lying but after seeing Blake run off I knew I need to talk to my dad again. "It's cool, I'll take you there, we can hang out there." He smirked trying to play cool. "Not today Damien, this is something really important so please just take me home." I was rushing at this point but I knew it was for the best. "Fine just get in the car." I could tell he was annoyed but I also knew he could never understand this.
After a drive that felt like it took forever I was finally home and the first thing I noticed is that my dad was already home and he was waiting just inside the door for me. "Thanks for the ride Damien, you can go now." I watched as back out of the drive and drove away before finally going inside to come face to face with my dad and whatever the heck was going on. "Hey how nice to see you home early." I try to smile but I know it's fake and she does to as he takes me to sit down on the cough.
"Sarah dear I knew this day would come but I had no idea it would be so soon." He was already on the verge of tears as I tried to stay calm. "I know I've never said anything about this until now but this is about you mother, and although I don't know if you'll ever meet her I know this is happening because you are her daughter." That parted weird-ed me out, I mean this was happening because of who my mom was, well then how is she.
Dad never did answer that though instead he just grabbed a backpack, a map, and a small but sharp-looking knife and handed them to me. "I know this all seems foreign to you right now, but when you reach the destination on your map then all will be clear I promise, now go and no matter what happens don't turn back."
With that he gave me a kiss on the forehead, and sent me out the door and on my way. I walked away from the for a little while before house for a little while before reaching a small alley. It was there in that alley that I finally cried; I cried because I didn't know what was happening, I cried because I believed I just lost my home, but most importantly I cried because I couldn't go back only forward.
Reviews please, they help out a lot. Also sorry Chapters 1 and 2 were so short. From now on I'm going to try to do at least 1000 or more words per chapter.
