I heard everyone hastily get up, and start calling for me in the darkness.
I carefully started backing towards the door well everyone was searching the room and shuffling around well looking for me. Chocolate was barking at me.
"She could be in the closet-"
"-Or under her bed-"
"-Katie! This is not funny-"
"-Katie, honey. We just want to help?" They chorused through the room.
I slowly turned the doorknob and started pulling it, it squeaked as I opened it. 'Oh Shit!' I squinted my eyes shut, hoping nobody had heard it. But a silence had suddenly hit the room. Everyone's breathing was harsh and erratic.
Chocolate's barking was the only noise in the room for a few seconds till anyone spoke.
"Who was that?" Fred asked
"-I don't know?" George replied confusedly.
"This is stupid why are we searching in the dark? Lumos!" Fred yelled and with that, 4 more flashes of light, lit the room.
I quickly took the chance and ran down the stairs, my blanket clutched tightly in my grasp, my knuckles turned white.
"She ran down the stairs! Come on!" I heard Fred yell.
I briskly walked across the room to one of the windowsills and sat down. The window was open and a gust of wind blew in, I pulled the blanket open and threw it around my shoulders tightly and bowed my head down trying to recompose myself, as I began to lose focus in my eyes.
I felt a weird yet throbbing pain in my head.
I heard their steps come towards me and stop a short distance away from me.
"I'm okay, don't worry guys. I just ran into a statue by accident, I'm just a little stressed out today" I said to the night sky as my eyes strained and tears glided down my cheeks. My head began to throb if more so, painfully and I lifted my head slightly and leaned the back of it against the wall behind me.
I heard my friends let out a relieving held breathe before anyone spoke.
"We were just - we - you got in a - something?" Angelina said, her voice sounding distant.
"Huh?" I said eyes trying to focus on her. "Sorry could you say that again?" I said, trying to focus my blurred eyes on Angelina.
I saw 2 heads turn to each other and than return it back to me, though I couldn't quite make it out.
"We - just -hey - are - ok?" Alicia said.
"Me? Oh I'm…I'm?" I turned my head slightly to the right to look out the window and leaned forward on an arm, resting my top half on it.
I closed my eyes and breathed in deeply, opening them again, as a teardrop slipped off of my nose. I closed them once more, squeezing them shut to suppress the pain.
"Katie?" I heard Oliver say while stepping closer. I leaned heavily on my arm.
I took another deep breath. My arm suddenly gave way and I felt the cold air brushing past my face quickly. "Katie!" A male voice called.
I opened my eyes, hearing girls screaming and some guys yelling "NOOOO!" but my vision was blurry.
I blinked my eyes a few times, while the ground was getting closer. 100 metres, 90 metres, 80 metres, 70 metres…
I suddenly felt my muscles urging my arms to extend out and my body to steady so I could land on my feet. I knew that I couldn't handle the impact but some kind of friendly energy was forcing me too.
"I love you Oliver!" I said before hitting the ground.
I landed in a crouching position with a loud thud; I felt my body push me slowly to stand; it felt like all the energy had been drained from me. Though the warm friendly energy had not left my body entirely yet.
I stood slowly and walked over to a bench that was in front of me. I fell to my knees in front of the chair and felt my head lay gently on the cold concrete bench before finally I closed my eyes, to fall into a deep slumber.
