Chapter 5: A Note

Faith walked back to the library, she took her seat again. Wesley sat down next to her and handed her, her now falling apart, notebook.

"So get in trouble?" Wesley asked.

"Got molested," Faith replied.

"Again?" Wesley said sarcastically.

Angel walked over and sat down next to Wesley.

"Oh, Faith this is…"

"I know who he is," Faith said.

"This stuff fell out of your notebook," Angel said handing her a cluster of papers. Faith took them and carefully shoved them into her binder.

"So what's with that girl anyway?" Angel asked.

"Queen C.? She thinks she runs the school because her family is loaded," Faith said looking over at Cordelia who was being a drama queen about a scratch on her elbow.

Wesley looked at the clock, it was nearing 8:30. "Class is almost up," he said. Then came the awkward silence until the bell rang.

&&&&&&&&

Faith took her seat in Math class, the bell rung. Mr. Morrison walked up to the chalkboard. His voice was monotone, it always put Faith to sleep. Her eyelids got heavy even though she wasn't tired. She forced her eyes open. It seemed like hours before the bell rang. She got up and went to her next class, unsure if she had homework in that class, besides the only thing she was concentrating on was not falling asleep.

&&&&&&&&

School had let out an hour ago. She took a Walkman out of her backpack and put it on. She listened to it while walking home. All the while humming the lyrics to the songs she was listening to. She got back to her house, and headed for the window that led to her room, she didn't want to see her mother. She fell onto her bed and rested her head on the pillows. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

&&&&&&&&

Faith awoke, nothing but screaming around her. Everything was dark, no light, she was…floating, all around her screams of pain.

Faith jumped up in bed, it took a lot to scare her, but those screams were so real. She walked into the bathroom and looked at her reflection. She began to think what she was looking at was a lie, and somewhere deep down, there was another her. She shook the thought away.

&&&&&&&&

Angel finished his math homework, he sighed. He hated math, it always got him confused. He rubbed his temples, trying to sooth the headache he always got when he did math. His vision got blurry, he blinked it away.

&&&&&&&&

Faith looked down at the new cut on her left arm, she made the Evanescence logo, and blood poured out of the cut. She washed the cut out, she put the razor back into the shoebox, and hid the shoebox under the sink. She walked back into her bedroom, the pages of her notebook were scattered everywhere. She picked them up, one page fell to the floor, she picked it up it was blank except for a note written on the side, she looked closely at it. It wasn't her handwriting. It was from someone else. She read it:

Faith, meet me in the park.

She looked it over, there was no signature. She didn't recognize the handwriting. She opened the window and climbed out of it. She walked away from her "home" and walked into the cold dark night.
