Chapter 7
2 hours later and I was ready to go home. I'm not a very sociable person, and all of my friends know that. I spent most of the past 2 hours on my phone playing Tetris. I was bored and I was still feeling kind of sick. I didn't want to be here, so I left.
"Hey, um, I think I'm going to go home. I'm not feeling so great." No one was paying attention though so I just left. I got on the train to the station closest to my house and walked the rest of the way home. It was dark and it was starting to get a little cold, as it usually does in April. I walked as fast as I could in the shoes that I was wearing, so I could get out of the cold quicker, and so I could get home sooner. I am a very paranoid person, when I am on my own walking in the dark. So the sooner I got home the better.
I was relieved when I reached the front steps of my house and I rushed to get the door unlocked and open. Once I was inside I locked the door behind me and went straight upstairs to bed even though it was only 9pm. I was woken by loud voices coming from downstairs; I checked my phone to see I had 10 missed calls. And a whole bunch of messages. I looked at the time and saw that I had only been asleep for about an hour. I decided I should go downstairs to see what was going on.
"Shit, where the fuck did she go?" I heard Brooke yell just as I walked into the room, her back was turned to me so she didn't see the confused look I was giving her, but she didn't need to, because the look on everyone else's faces when they saw me was relief. She turned around and saw me, she ran up to hug me but before she did she slapped me. What the hell was that for?
"Why the hell did you slap me?" I yelled at her, stepping back as I said it.
"You left and you didn't tell us. You just got up and left and we were so worried." She yelled back. Well they can't have been that worried if I had been gone for over an hour.
"Really? I told you I was leaving, but no one was really paying attention. And how long have you been so worried about me for?" I asked, getting ever so slightly angry because I told them I was leaving, and they were so engrossed in each other and the members of You Me At Six that they didn't even have time to notice when their friend left.
"We've been looking for you since 10!" she yelled, ignoring the fact that I had just mentioned that I told them where I was going. Since 10? Really, they only just noticed half an hour ago? It takes about that long to get back here from where we were.
"Well, I have been asleep, here, in my bed, since 9. So you really can't have been that worried can you?" I said before trying to leave the room, but she stopped me.
"you mean you left at 8:30?" she looked shocked, ha, sometimes I hated that no one pays attention to me, but most of the time I was okay with it. This was one of those few times that I hated though. They hadn't noticed that I was gone until an hour and a half after I left, what if someone had actually been following me and did something, they wouldn't find me until it was too late, or they wouldn't find me at all, because an hour and a half is a fairly long time.
"Yeah, I did. Do you mind keeping it down a little? I was trying to sleep when you guys barged through the front door making enough noise to wake the god damn dinosaurs!" I called this out to Brooke as I climbed the stairs to go back to bed.
I woke to the sound of my phone ringing, and instantly knew it was an unknown number because my phone was playing Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance.
