BUZZ!BUZZ!BUZZZ!
Jerking out of sleep I groggily opened my eyes to the cloudy skies out my window. I frowned to myself. I had stayed up till midnight trying to hear for any howling or at most growling for that matter, but I couldn't hear anything only the sounds of the crickets, and the lull of the sea, and don't forget the stark quietness inside this little house. I fell asleep without my knowledge and now waking up to a gloomy Tuesday. I craned my neck to look at the clock on my dresser. 6:30AM. An hour in a half to get myself ready for school. I got up and started to get ready. I still haven't unpacked everything I bought with me, so I had to kind of waddle around the boxes.
"Hopefully I'll unpack them all by the end of this week." I muttered as I open the bottom drawer of my dresser to grab a towel and slowly walked towards the shower.
45 minutes later I sat in in the kitchen table eating buttered toast with jelly and finally finishing my logarithmic paper. I only had 3 problems to go last night, but I couldn't stand to look at another problem or I was going to scream at the top of my lungs. I smiled in triumph as I closed my small math binder and put it in my backpack. I heard a yawn behind me as my grandma came walking through the doorway in her gray robe. Her hair on the top of her head in a messy bun.
"Good morning honey." She kissed me on the top of my head as she walked over to the stove to make herself some morning tea.
"You look tired. Did you get enough sleep?"
"Ohh, yes dear. I just had a bad dream is all." She took some bread and put it in the toaster, "Did you finish your homework. I hope you didn't stay up too late working on that."
"No, grandma. I had just finished it now."
She nodded, " Good. make sure you wear a jacket today. It looks like it's going to rain today." She looked out of the window and frowned a bit.
It seems like Grandma wanted to say something more, but she looks distracted. Looking out to the forest with a mixture of desperation and a little bit of anger and wonder. I slowly got up to put my dish in the sink as I did, I watched Grandma. She was still looking out the window to the forest. I followed her gaze to the forest. To the east of the reservation a dense array of white pine trees that stretched for miles across Washington state. As I stare at the dark green leaves, the thick dark brown trunk that held steady to the ground. But I must say their does seem to be something different about that forest. Something that could pull you in and tell you all its secrets and stories of travelers and animals alike. The forest could tell me if I just listen hard enough. As a breeze blew, I could almost hear the forest talking. I strained my ears to the forest-
"Hey Nay. Good morning. Miss Athena."
Me and Grandma jumped out of our skins to see Jake standing behind us in torn black jeans and a dark blue long sleeve shirt with an umbrella in his hand. Like Grandma I was so focused on the forest that I didn't hear Jake knock or him entering the house.
"For God's sake, Jacob make some noise when you come in here." Grandma had her hand to her heart. Her breath ragged and wisps of hair coming out of her bun.
"I'm sorry. Miss, but I knocked 4 times, so I thought you heard me." Jake said sheepishly.
"It's okay. I guess I was a little distracted." She turned to the boiling water on the stove to make her morning chicory tea.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I started cleaning my dirty dishes.
"Well, we're going to school." He gave me a crocked smile.
"We? Did Grandma put you up to this again? You know you really don't have too anymore." He only walked me to school yesterday because Grandma asked him to and quite frankly, I don't need her to give me an actual pity party to follow me around at school. I suddenly felt a spark of anger at that. That fact that Grandma must think I'm actually that pathetic. That I can't make friends on my own. That I need her best friend's son to follow me around.
No, it can't be that! Even if it is true and I can't make friends on my own I know Grandma doesn't think of me as pathetic. Shy and social awkward maybe, but not pathetic.
He looked a bit confused as his eyes briefly met Grandma's, "No, it's because I want to! Also, I figured you didn't have an umbrella either."
I paused for a bit suddenly feeling terrible for being anger at them. Maybe just maybe Jake was just being a nice guy. He didn't have to stay at the office when I was getting my schedule or introducing me to his friends, letting me eat with them, and hold my hand in the hallway and all the way home. He could have left me the second we got out of the house yesterday. I shook my head slightly. I shouldn't keep throwing him under the bus like this.
"I'm sorry, Jake and no I don't have an umbrella." I laughed a little.
"It's cool." His bright smile returns," But I suggest we go now. We only have about 20 minutes to get to school."
I gasp," I didn't know it was almost 8!"
I quickly ran back to my bedroom to look for my jacket. It hasn't rained since I got here so it must be still in one of my boxes. I groaned and started ripping through the boxes trying to find any of my jackets. When I was 13 my family had moves to Manchester, England and I must say Washington state weather remind me of lot of England. Mostly gloomy weather and rain but when the sun shines through the dark clouds it can be absolutely beautiful.
"You ready?" Jake walked up to the doorway. His broad body could barely fit through the doorway as he awkwardly twisted it to get through.
I sighed heavily," I haven't gotten around to finish unpacking and my jacket is in one of these boxes." I walked over to another box and rolled my eyes. Jeans! I really should have written what was in these on the box.
"If you want you can wear my jacket."
I raised my eyebrows, "You know you're not wearing a jacket right."
A low rumble of a laugh escaped from his perfect lips, " We can make a quick pit stop home to get it. It's not that far from here. It'll be quicker than going through these boxes."
I scowled at the boxes knowing all too well that he was right. I looked at the clock. 15 minutes left.
I nodded, " Okay let's go."
We quickly left the house, but not before grabbing my pack and giving grandma a kiss and her calling out to me to 'stay warm!'
Once outside I felt the wind pick up a little as tiny droplets escaped from the clouds and fell to the ground. Jake opened his umbrella; big enough to cover 3 people; to shield him and myself from the rain and some of the wind. We walked towards to school until Jake veered us right until we came across and a green house. Like most of the houses on the reservation it looked rundown, but it also looked more constructed. Like someone did take the time the reshingle the roof or repaint the house. There was also a garage with a deep burgundy truck parked inside.
Once we reached his front door Jake fished out his keys. It took only a minute to put the key in the lock and open the door. My first glimpse into Jake's house was like any other house. I'm not sure what exactly I expected but it looked just like an average house with a ripped leather couch, a rug, a table, and an actual tv hooked up to the wall on the far end of the room, and a desk with Billy sitting at it reading a book. The only odd thing about his house is the fact that all the furniture seems oversized. I guess since Jake's stature is so big, I can understand the need for bigger than average furniture.
He looked up as we entered," Hey Jake. Hey Miracle. What are you doing here? School starts in 10 minutes." He wheeled out from behind the desk
"I know but I need to get my jacket really quick." He started walking to the back as he hollered, " Did you take your medicine yet?"
"No, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I was kind of caught up." He looked me and smiled before whispering," I guess I should go do that now before he becomes 'Doctor Jacob' again."
I giggled at that thought of Jake chastising Billy like a child that needs to take their flintstones vitamins.
"So how was your first day?"
"It was good, Jake and his friends were a really big help." I spoke.
Billy beamed, "Well they better! We raised them to have manners!" He said as he started wheeling himself too the kitchen.
I walked closer in the house looking at random knickknacks like a baseball bobblehead until I came across the ripped leather couch. Looking closer at the couch the rips didn't seem like usual wear and tear. It looked like someone, or something clawed at it leaving huge scratch marks in its wake and I didn't see any dog around. Frowning I gently grazed the marks feeling the edges crinkle and bend to my whim. Walking around the couch I caught a glimpse of the book. I was about to look away until I saw the cover of the book. It had the same tattoo design as Jake and his wolf club has.
I smiled a bit. Maybe this is like a club rule book or something. I walked over to the desk to take a peek. I was a black leather cover with the wolf club tattoo in gold with Quileute writing on the top and I thought if I can suddenly understand Quileute maybe I can read it as well. I looked at the writing, but I make anything out. Disappointed I was about to set the book down until I could feel my eyes and brain adjusting to the writing. The book shimmered slightly and just like that I can read it. I gasped slightly as I quickly read it. Kwati and Quileute Shamans. Shamans? From spending countless hours studying folklore, mythology, and urban legends Shaman could mean a lot of things depending on the culture. It could mean medicine man or healer or a priest, but they all fall under the same category of witch.
Witches. Controller of events. Controller of fates. The bridge between this world and the next. The Harbinger of either good or evil. In most cultures witches are an omen of bad luck casting spells of love, death, disease, and even famine. In Native American culture they were revered for their powers to speak with spirits and to cross over to the next world and back, but what Kwati had to do with a shaman? It could be possible that Kwati was a shaman, but my online research never really specified any of that and neither was a shaman in the story of Kwati.
I had no time to dwell once I heard footsteps coming. I gently put the book back in place and stepped away from the desk the same time Jake came back into the living room with forest green hoodie.
"I got it. It'll be a big on you, but I'll make do." He looked around, "Where's Dad?
"He went to go make himself some breakfast."
He nodded, "Good."
He walked up to me. I went to reach out for the jacket, but Jake had already started wrapping it around me. He was so close I could smell him. He smelled of the forest. Of wet pine. I found myself inhaling his scent wanting to get full on it. He still had his hands on the front of the jacket looking down at me with those big puppy dog brown eyes. Everything slowed as my eyes flowed down as he licked his pink plumped lips. I wonder just wonder what it would feel like to kiss those lips. To feel, caress mine like a breeze caress a fallen leaf.
What was I thinking! I only meet this guy for one day and I already want to jump down his throat like a horny teenager. I've always had control over my feeling, but for some reason Jake makes me take my control and throw out the window. Maybe it's because even though he's incredibly hot he makes me feel comfortable with myself, but also make me question everything I think.
I looked down at the jacket," This thing is huge! I look like a big shrub!" I put my hands through the armholes and looked down at myself. The jacket ends just at my knees. The sleeves were soo long I need to roll them up at least 4 times for find my hands.
I shook my head, " I can't wear this. I'm already big I don't need to look bigger. This makes me look like a blimp!"
"What? Who the fuck said you were big!?"
I jumped at the candor of the way he spoke. I looked and for the first time I saw real anger in his eyes. His hands balled up into fist.
"Um nobody. It's okay." I looked down suddenly feeling uncomfortable
"Was it somebody in school. If it is, you have to tell me. I'll set them start." Still angry he walked up towards me and gently gripped my arms and bent down to look me in the eyes.
"No, Jake. It's no one here I don't think. It's just people have said that to me from time to time, that's all."
"Are you sure?" He said gently still looking at me intently.
I nodded. He stared at me for a few seconds than he nodded.
"Okay, let's go to school."
By the time we walked to school the rain was pouring down harder. I decided to keep Jake's jacket on until I got inside the school. Even though there was about a minute left until the first bell rings everyone was still in the hallways. Some soaking wet thinking they could get inside before the rain. Thanks to Jake's super warm jacket and his umbrella I stayed mostly dry.
"Umm so I'll see you at lunch, okay?" Jake said.
I nodded slowly.
"I'm sorry I got mad earlier. I just don't want or like anyone talking about you like that."
"It's okay, Jake. I've gotten used to it. I don't even feel nothing when they say it to me."
Jake opened his mouth to speak but the bell rung effectively cutting him off before he even started. I told him I will see him at lunch and quickly made my way through the still crowded hallway. I can't quite understand Jake. What I saw in his eyes was anger of course but there was something underneath it as well. Like a need to do something. Anything! Even though Jake is a tall and strong guy I never suspect him of violence and...I still don't see him as a violent person. I don't think I ever will. Remembering us playing together when we were children. Sharing and ice cream and daring each other to eat worms. A warm feeling radiated from my heart thinking about those days, but those days didn't last long. They never did. Once when I was six me and Jake spent the whole week together. Practically inseparable! That must have been the quickest week of my life because it came and went in a flash. I had cried for 2 weeks when I had to leave. It was the most awful feeling being ripped apart from each other and knowing you will most likely never see each other again.
I walked into my first period class quicker than I wanted. I sat in one of the desks watching my algebra II teacher, Mr. Polstrow writing problems on the board. I rolled my eyes. I just finished his worksheet this morning and I honestly don't feel in the mood to do more problems that I'll have to spend another 3 hours on. The final bell for students to get to class echoes throughout the school as the last students came running in.
The stout teacher looked at the class behind his black rimmed glasses, " Okay class pass your worksheets up. I will grade them and pass them back out to get in the next few days. Also start writing the problems down and let's get started."
I mentally prepared myself for the extent of how many problems we have to face up ahead cause for some reason Mr. Polstrow thinks this is an AP class but hopefully I'll be able to pass this class with a B. I opened my binder and got started.
By the time first period ended I was already exhausted. Mr. Polstrow gave us even more homework. A workbook that must be finished by next week that already made me feel like my head was going to explode, but at least today he actually instructed us the best way of getting the answer instead of just blindly giving us paper after paper and telling us to fend for ourselves. Even so, if I'm going to have this workbook done by Monday, I'm going to have to do a couple problems.
English was the perfect break from math class as the teacher, Ms. Steelwaters was so happy even in this kind of weather that it was positively contagious. She looks like she just took a walk in a field of meadows with her windswept black hair, a yellow and white dress, and a smile that is permanently etched into her face. Talking about hyphens in compounds adjectives and homophones, it's not hard to love the subject with her as a teacher. Unlike Mr. Polstrow Ms. Steelwaters still hasn't given us homework yet. Just to 'study what has been taught today' and I have no qualms about that.
Lunch came quicker than expected and thankfully I got there earlier than yesterday so I can actually get lunch which today was pizza. I haven't had pizza since I been here but, I doubt school was better than Domino's pizza.
"Hey Miracle." Leah nudged me in the shoulder getting beside me in the lunch line.
"Hey Leah. Where is everyone else." Even though she's might not be the nicest person. I am happy to see her.
"There sitting down. Somehow, they always get their food before me. They only live to stuff their faces."
I laughed as we moved up in the line to grab our trays. Me and Leah started grabbing food. I grabbed a sausage pizza, strawberry milk, an apple, and some cup of celery sticks. Leah grabbed a lot so to speak. 3 slices of cheese pizza, 2 fruit cups, a cup of carrots and ranch, and 3 cartons of chocolate milk.
"Yeah, yesterday Jake ate about 10 sandwiches my grandma made yesterday."
"Oh, trust me, girl, he was just getting started."
I laughed even harder as we exited out of the line to go sit with the guys in the same table we sat yesterday.
"Hey Nay. I saved you a seat." When Jake saw me, he scooted out one of those plastic seats beside him. I felt a blush coming but I forced it down.
"Thank you." I smiled at him.
"Isn't this rain crazy. I got soaked coming in today." Seth chimed in.
"WELL, I TOLD YOU TO WEAR YOUR HOODIE." Leah literally growled at him.
"It's not like I'm going to get sick or anything." Seth rolled his eyes.
"You must have a really good immune system." I spoke.
"Yea insanely good immune system."Quil chuckled, but the way he said it was odd. Like it was a common secret that everybody knows but me.
"Um okay. Uh, Jake I forgot to give you your jacket back." During the day I had forgotten I was wearing it. It was soo warm and cozy and smelled like him as well.
I was about to take it off, but Jake stopped me, " Noo, its okay. You can keep it on until the rain stops plus it looks better on you anyways."
The blush came before I could force it back and it didn't make it any better when Embry said with a mouthful of food," You guys are adorably disgusting."
It made it even worse when the whole group started laughing and Jake started growling at them which made them laugh even harder.
I jumped up out of my seat," I'm going to go to the bathroom."
I walked out of the lunchroom before they could say anything and went to the bathroom across the hall. The bathroom floor was covered and white and red tiles. The wall held 4 mirrors and sinks and the same amount of bathroom stalls. I pick the one farthest from the door and began my business. When I finished, I flushed and fixed my outfit the same time 3 giggling girls came in to look themselves in the mirror fixing their hair and makeup. I was about to exit the stall when they started talking about Jake, Quil, Seth, and Embry.
"They are like the hottest guys here." One of them said.
"It sucks that Embry isn't in out grade though."
"He may be younger, but he certainly doesn't look like it." The one closest to the door chimed in.
That comment gathered a massive gigging fit from all the girls for what seems like lasted an eternity. The girl in the middle grabbed a tub of pink lip gloss from her purse and took her time applying it before she spoke again.
"But what about that new girl. She has only been here one day and she's all over them especially Jake. She even sits at their table, and NO ONE sits at their table but them!" She pouted.
My ears perked up. I knew that me being her was a bit of a surprise to everyone. Considering that they rarely get any new people here. Everyone knows everyone on this reservation, but the fact that no one sits with Jake and his friends is kind of surprising.
The girl closest to the door scoffed, "Don't worry about her. I heard that Jake's dad knows her grandmother. So, they're prob just being nice."
"But I saw her wearing his jacket today. I think that's cause for worry." She finished with her lip gloss and began to start applying mascara.
"She's not his type." The girl closest to me said." Do you see how fat she is. I'm surprised his jacket can fit her."
They start giggling maddingly. I gasp slightly and frowned. Earlier I had told Jake that I didn't feel nothing when people called me names. That was a bald-faced lie. Yes, it still hurts very much and for them to judge me without even getting to know me. I know they're not directly mad at me. They're mad because I did something that they probably spent years to do. Get into Jake's inner circle and I've done that without trying at all and the fact that they probably tried thousands of tricks and schemes to which every one of them has failed.
They left the bathroom once they finished prepping themselves. I slowly left the bathroom stall. My legs feeling mushy and unsteady as I braced myself against the pale cold sink. My hands almost slipped on the smooth wetness of it. I looked down and saw my hands shaking. Water droplets started falling into the sink. I looked up and realized it was me as I didn't feel myself crying but looking at myself cry only made me cry harder. The gut-wrenching type of cry that radiates deep in your soul and stole that happiness away and left you a hollow shell of yourself. My cries got louder echoing throughout the bathroom as pressure started building up in my chest. No, I'm only 16 I can't be having a heart attack or a stroke either. I clawed my chest as I fell on my knees, trying to take deep breaths, trying to calm myself. It didn't seem to be helping as the pressure got worse and worse. The pressure started moving to my arms and legs until I felt like a balloon that has too much air. I shut my eyes and prayed that it ended quickly.
No, it wasn't going away minute by minute it was getting worse and worse, and I thought, this... this right here is how I'm going to die. I haven't gotten to do all I wanted to do. I didn't say goodbye to my family or Jake or Embry or Seth or Leah or Quil.
The thoughts made my tears coming faster and faster till my visions blurred. Amazingly, the pressure just kept getting worse until I was hot and sticky, but it seems like the only place the pressure can go was out... I screamed and I felt the air around me give, expand, then explode. The mirrors and lights shattered leaving the room in near darkness. The bathroom doors slammed and fell off the walls. It was like everything in slow motion as I stared at the crystallized broken pieces of mirrors still cascading in the air. The shards seem glow as I stared at the illuminating pieces. The shards...they told a story. I saw my grandmother, her hair waving behind her as her hands raised up, her lips rapidly moving but no sound came out. Another shard...a bigger one. Shows big wolves barring their teeth at me; the picture changed, and it showed a symbol. A symbol I know I've seen before but couldn't think of at the moment. Another shard was red. It seems to have blood around it, and it showed myself. I had my hands raised with white shimmers around and but my eyes. They were glowing golden.
I gasped, "STOP!" The words burst out of me and before my very eyes. Everything stopped and just in a flash all the shards, and the lights, and the skewed doors reanimated themselves. The mirrors fixed themselves as if they were never broken perfectly clipping together. The doors screwing itself back on the hinging and the lights repairing and lighting back up.
Just like that everything was back to normal as it nothing happened. I was on the ground with dried tears streaks. I whirled around trying to find anything that looked out of place. Anything to prove that what I saw was real but no nothing was out of place. Everything was everything. I was still me wearing Jake's jacket.
I only had enough time to shakily breath in before Leah burst into the bathroom and ran towards me.
"Oh my God! Are you okay!? We heard you screaming! GUYS! SHE'S IN HERE!"
Before I had a chance to say anything else Jake, Quil, Seth, and Embry ran in the bathroom. Before I had any chance to say something about the being in the girl's bathroom, they pounced on me with questions and worry.
"Why is your face bleeding!"
"Is anyone else in here?"
"Her clothes are all torn!"
"Miracle, you have to tell us who did this and what happened." Jake shook me from my stupor as Seth and Embry look around the bathroom. Looking around it looks even more pristine than when I came in earlier.
"Miracle say something! Anything!" Jake shook me a little harder.
I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I must have looked like a fish gasping for water. I looked down at myself. I didn't realize how torn my clothes are and Jake's jacket. It's warm thick wool ripped apart. One sleeve even hanging on by a thread.
"I'm sorry I ruined your jacket." My voice sounding small.
"I don't care about this stupid jacket." He shook his head, " Nevermind, we got to take her to the nurse before that cut bleeds any more. Leah hand me some napkins."
Leah gave them to Jake as he put it on the side of my cheek," Keep pressure on that okay," and literally, I mean, literally picked me up and carried me out of the bathroom. When we got out there was kids and students alike standing by, lunch forgotten. I gasped slightly at everybody staring at me. I quickly covered my face in Jake's shoulder as I fresh tears started to escape my eyes.
"Its okay, don't pay them any mind." I head Quil say behind me.
I didn't say any. I kept my head down until we got to the nurse's office and until Jake sat me down at the cot. The nurse came seconds later and gave a start.
"OHH! my goodness! I'll be back with some bandages and some alcohol." She said as she raced out of the room.
I curled up in a ball on the cot as the room was struck with silence as we waited for the nurse to return. There was a bunch of noise coming from the other side of the door. Talking but I couldn't make out anything significant. I didn't dare look at them. I didn't want to see their looks of pity, confusion, or even fear. Most of all I didn't want them looking at me as If I was crazy. The cut on my cheek and the torn and shredded should be evidence enough of what happened, but I've also heard of people who have delusions. Schizophrenic people whose minds are programmed differently to see people and things that just aren't there.
I was stuck in my thoughts when a knock came at the door. The one closest to the door, Embry opened the door the find Mr. Uley at the door. There was a bit of whispering between the two before he fully entered the door.
"Hello Miracle. You caused quite the stir around the school." His voice was gentler than yesterdays. The kind of voice you talk to the insane.
I nodded but otherwise didn't speak.
He slowly sat on the edge of the cot," I called your Grandmother. She should be here in a few minutes."
I blinked, " She's coming?"
He nodded, " Yes, she's quite worried about you. We all are. So, we need to know what happened to you in there."
I opened my mouth, but no words came out. Thankfully the nurse came in and started taking care of my cheek wound. The room was filled with silence as she disinfected and bandaged up my wound, "There that should be better. I bought you some clothes as well. I'm not what size you wore honey."
Gym clothes. By the looks of it I can already tell that these will be a little tight.
"Thank you. Now please we need some privacy." Mr. Uley.
She nodded and left moment later.
"Now you mind telling us what happened."
"I... don't know how to say it. I know you guys aren't going to believe me." I looked around and saw everybody staring at me expectantly.
Mr. Uley laughed, " Try me."
Jake walked over and sat beside me putting his arm around me," I'm pretty sure we will believe you, Miracle."
I started to shake my head until I saw something under Mr. Uley's sleeve. A black pattern.
I moved to Mr. Uley and moved his sleeve up. THE SAME TATTOO AS JAKE AND FRIENDS HAD AND THE SAME TATTOO I SAW ON THE SHARD OF GLASS. How could I have not realized it when I saw it on the shard of glass.
My hand started trembling, "T-T-Thats the same one on the shard!"
"Shard?"
"Something's strange about students and a teacher having the same tattoo!" I roughly pushed passed Jake to stand up.
"Nay just calm down." Jake stood up with his arms raised.
"We'll talk about that some other time, Miracle. We just need to know what happened to you today." Mr. Uley went on.
"I'm going crazy. Thats what it is. I'm going crazy." I squeezed my eyes shut as another flow of tears threatened to come out.
"Miracle you're not crazy." Leah spoke up.
"But we need to know what happened." Mr. Uley pressed.
I hugged myself, " I went to the bathroom and some girls came in. Talking about you guys."
"Talking about who?" Jake said.
"You guys! And how 'totally hot' you guys are!" I rolled my eyes.
"Do these girls talk about anybody else besides y'all" Leah said disgustingly.
"What about after that?"
I sighed, "Then they started talking about me and how I somehow made into your circle."
"I'd call it a lopsided oval." Quil chirped.
"And then they said some choice words about me."
"What kind of choice words, "Jake said darkly.
"Does it really matter!" I snapped.
"I think it does." Jake pressed.
"It doesn't matter!" I said, "they said some words and I started crying and...I must have scratched myself up without realizing it."
Mr. Uley looked at me like he knew it didn't believe me, "Are you telling the truth?"
He and everybody else in the room knew I was lying but I just couldn't bring myself to tell them truth. I opened my mouth, but I didn't know what to say thankfully I was saved when my grandmother bursts threw the room, her hair flying behind her and ran right towards me. Pulling me in the tightest hug imaginable and I gracious melted into her hug.
"Ohh my baby are you okay! When they called, I ran right over." She looked at me. Her hand gently grazing the band aid.
"I'm sorry I worried you." I whispered.
"Ohh honey. I'm taking you home right now. We'll talk when we get home after you change your clothes."
She gave Mr. Uley a funny face before he sat up himself, "Children let's wait outside while she changes."
The gang begrudgingly left but not without each of them giving me a hug. Especially Jake who whispered, "It's going to be okay. I promise I won't let anything hurt you from now on." It gave me a warm feeling in my heart even though I know he and everyone in the room is lying to me.
