Chapter Three
I wasn't able to sleep that night - half of me was weary and wanted to sleep, another part thought about the guy at the library.
Sitting up I yelled out loud at myself. It didn't matter if I screamed in the house at night since everyone was always partying- especially on Friday nights.
"Get a grip! You don't know him! Infact, you even said you hated him!!" then something in the back of my mind soothed me, replying. "Nonsense, mystery-man was the best thing that ever happened to you. Here's an idea- tomorrow why not hit the comic store?" Ah, yes, the comic store.then slowly I fell asleep.
The next day, Collette woke up and looked at the clock. 9:45. She looked out the window on her left to find that both cars were still gone. Mom and dad are most likely in separate bars passed out. She rolls out of bed and slips into a random shirt and jumps into baggy pants. Climbing up onto her couch she pulls out a vase from on top of the wall unit and dumps out twenty-dollars. She quickly brushes her teeth and flips her hair a couple of times then sets off to go to the comic store.
Turning a corner she stupidly trips over a cat and stumbles backwards. Losing her balance, Collette falls on someone. She slides off of them then stands up, "Im sorry I didn't mean to.wait a minute."
Sloane gazes up at her, then slowly begins to smile. His smile quickly fades away when she suddenly kicks him in the stomach hard. "OWE!!" he rolls away coughing, "I wasn't expecting you to be so happy to see me too." He says clutching his stomach.
"Who the hell are you?? ARE YOU STALKING ME? If you are then . then ." She backs up and then turns around and takes several breathes. Sloane stands up staring at her, then he slowly places his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I'm sorry," he begins then she turns around, "Okay look- I'm a little paranoid so I get nervous when I talk to people- I don't know I just never got along with them; that's why I have a dog ." She says then looks up at him innocently. They both laugh, and soon they hung out for a few hours at the comic store. As Collette spoke to him, she begins to feel something, like something was wrong. iname- GET HIS NAME./i "Umm . I never caught your name," she said turning red. How embarrassing to be talking to someone and not know their name, she thought to herself. He simply smiles, "Sloane," he said then looked down at his watch. "I have to go in a while- it's getting pretty late; would you like me to walk you home?" Collette's heart skips a beat but she feels a horrible gut feeling as well, "Look, I . I never had a friend before. So if I act weird or anything or- erh-" She stops then buries her face in her sleeve. Sloane stares at her, making out a few curse words and her saying to herself, "stupid stupid stupid ." he smiles a bit, amused by her child-like actions. "Actually, that's a bit of a relief to know. I never had a friend either." There was a long pause, then Collette turns around and fixes her jacket. "My house is this way." As they walk, words pounded inside Sloane's mind .
"If you fall in love, shocking news will break you"
A sting pierces his heart, then he comes back to reality, realizing they had stopped. "Thanks for walking with me." Collette says then climbs through her window. "Question," he says in a loud whisper, "Why not use the front door??" She turns to close the window, then whispers back, "Parents. Drunk. Might be passed out in the hall." She smiles weakly then shuts the window, Sloane then turns to leave.
Collette closes the blinds then smiling to herself, she flips o her lights then her eyes widen. Sitting on her bed was a man with a cloak on, and laying on the ground was her father, dead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phat: AHA! ANOTHER CLIFF HANGER! Actually, I was going to add the other chapters I wrote but it's midnight so I'm worn out. Isn't it amazing that I came up with over three chapters and one plot all in a day? O__o; oh yes so talented..TO BE CONTINUED!! *muahahahahahhahahaha!*
