A/N: Wow… how long has it been since I updated? Yea… a long time, I know. Had a writer's block. But I have like, two new stories on www.fictionpress.net user-name is lildvl105. Check it out if you want to. =]
What happened to the nice police officers? Amy curled up into a little ball on her bed, waiting for sleep to take her over. After she read the note, she had called the police, and then her mom, hoping to seek comfort from her voice, to know that she…
"Amy?" Amy turned away from the door, trying to hide her tears from her little sister. "Amy, you alright? Mom came home…" Amy jumped off her bed and ran out to the living room.
Kids nowadays are always doing this. Amy jumped over the shards of a broken vase. Always trashing their place at home, then they write these stupid little notes about their mother getting into an accident. She tripped on a fallen chair and got back up with a scratched knee. You know what, kid? She threw open the door connecting to the living room. I'm not going to fall for it.
"MOM!" Amy cried. She jumped into her mother's opened arms and rested her face on her chest. "Mom…" she muttered, sobbing.
"Honey…! Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"
"No mom, I'm alright. I'm alright."
What's for lunch…? Amy looked at the shapeless red stuff that lay on her tray. …Forget it. She took her milk from the tray and threw out the entire lunch. She took a seat in the far corner, away from everyone else. Isolating herself, wanting to feel invisible. She opened the mouth of the milk carton and took a sip. She spat it back into the carton.
"What the…" She looked at the expiration date. "That explains a lot." She walked up, hoisting her book-bag up and onto her shoulder, and threw out the carton along with its sour contents into the garbage can.
"Amy!" Amy looked at the source of the sound. It was Mandy. Amy turned away and proceeded to her seat. "Amy!" Mandy got up from her seat and jogged over to Amy and grabbed her arm. "Come sit with me." She said warmly.
"It's okay." Amy said, averting her eyes I shouldn't have told her. "I'll be going off to the playground right now."
"Oh…" Mandy trailed off. She loosened her grip from Amy's arm. Amy took one look at Mandy before she went off to the yard. She took a seat underneath the shades and next to a bunch of pretty looking girls.
"Oh, no, she wasn't that bad." A girl with straight blond hair said. "Sure, she was a bit possessive about Joe and all, but who won't be. He IS pretty darn hot."
"Yeah. He was hot AND nice. Too bad he chose her. I would've said yes to him, but too bad he didn't ask me." A pretty brunette said, giggling. "Too late though. Joe's dead." She sighed. "He was a nice friend."
"You KNEW him?" Another brunette asked. The blond laughed.
"KNEW him? She DATED his brother!" Amy got up and started towards the group.
"Um, excuse me, but I overheard you people back there. Could you tell me more about Joe, John, and Lisa?" Amy asked, uncertainly. She was responded by a friendly invitation to their little gossip circle.
"Sure, join us." And blond said. "My name is Linda, she's Sandy (the first brunette), and she's Becky (second brunette)."
"My name's Amy." Amy said, smiling. "So Lisa and Joe were dating before?"
"Oh, yeah." Sandy said. "They were the hottest couple. Actually, I think they were the only couple back then. It was all so sudden. We just came back from summer vacation. The first day back they were all shy, but the next day, they said they were going out. It was just so, weird."
"Yeah, they were really close." Becky confirmed.
"How about John? Did she know John?" Asked Amy.
"She was in 7th grade, one year younger than us. Well, she was the same age as us, she was left back. So yeah, she could've known John." Said Sandy.
"Hell yeah she did! They were even going out. I have no idea what happened, but Lisa broke up with him, and I don't know, they hated each other and didn't say a word to each other since then." Becky snickered. "She dated BOTH the parker twins. Lucky her. I only dated John."
"Wow, wow, wow… you mean she dated Joe first, or did she date John first."
"Umm… I think it was Joe first right?" Linda asked.
"No, I remember very clearly. She dated John first, and then Joe comforted her, and then dated her. And then I forgot, but I comforted John about his brother dating his ex, and I think we started going out." Becky said, smiling. "It was this whole confuse taking advantage of each other's sadness thing."
"Wow, that's confusing…" The bell cut off Amy's sentence.
"Time flies when you're having fun." Becky said. "Come on Linda and Sandy. Class is awaiting." She turned to Amy. "Bye Amy, nice talkin' to you." Amy smiled weakly and waved. She waited for each girl to say good-bye, and when the yard was almost empty, she got up and started for the door into school. Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm and dragged her to the side, away from the sight of the other schoolmates of hers that were rushing off to class. They all seemed so innocent and unaware of what was happening to her. She tried to scream, but the attacker's other hand muffled it. She watched the custodian close the door to the school, leaving her outside. She saw blackness swallowing her up. The last thing that she saw before everything turned black was the face of someone. Someone so familiar, yet so unfamiliar.
Sneak Peek:
"I don't care about who you are. I just want to know, what do you want from me?"
"To put it simply, your life"
A/N: You know what? I might be lying about that sneak peek. Not sure if it's going to be included in the next chapter. I don't know. Maybe it's going to be not what it seems.
