Chapter 2: School
I gradually improved from then on. The agonizing pain still shooting through me , but it was less often. I was eating and sleeping,with the occasional nightmare. It was about 4 months after I'd "Woken up" when my dad and i were sitting at the kitchen table eating and he put his knife and fork down and looked at me.
"I was woundering...... Do you think it's time you went back to school?" He asked , trying to sound calm, the anxiousness leaking through his words."I mean, to see people, to get out the house." He added quickly. I was shocked when he said it and tried letting it sink in. It wasn't a bad idea. I knew he meant well. It might help to face things.I could try , for my fathers sake at least
"Oookay." I said slowly, still thinking about it. I hadn't said much during these 4 months. Only a few words now and then. when he asked me something.
After that I walked up the stairs, slowly, one carfull step at a time. I remeber the flaue of the fact that half my mind was shutdown, to help ease the pain, I'd fallen up and down the stairs numerous times. Although the pain , compared to the othes i dealt with every waking minute wasn't much. Once i was down, i couldn't bring myself to get back up. I walked into my room and pushed the door closed slowly making sure it was closed properly before walking over to my school drawr, under my bed. My hand froze on the handle. I took a deep breathe
"I can do this, atleast for my dad." i wispered to myself. It was the only way to comfort myself latley. I opened the drawr and slowly gathered my things, still halfmindedly. I put everything on the sofa at the back of my room. My dad had braught it in so that he could be with me. And then went and sat on my bed. I looked around my room. It seemed......Brighter today, slightly brighter. I noticed the way the light shone through my window and through the crystle that my brother got me....I stopped that thaught dead in it's tracks and screwed up my face, trying to consuntrate on something else. I could here my father doing the dishes downstairs, mumbleing to himself, maybe thats were i got it from? i flung myself back against my bed and closed my eyes. It'd be nice to see my friends again. And with that last thaught I drifted into unconsiousness.
I woke up sweating in the morning, lucky for me, it was an hour early. I could feel my hair sticking to the back of my neck, was i nervous? Well, yeah obviously but i don't normally sweat when im nervous. Or do i have the flu? But i feel perfectly fine. I walked into the bathroom, carrying my school uniform, i put them on the side and turned the shower on. It was so relaxing, i could feel the tension braught on by thinking about going to school, seeing my friends,being normal just wash down the drain, i wounder how long that will last. I got changed and dryed my hair slowly, making sure it was completely dry , before going downstairs for breakfast. I could hear the toaster pop and the sizzleing of the frying pan as my father attempted to make me breakfast. I walked downstairs and sat at the table, it was covered in jars of spread. Jam, Honey, Marmite. There was one missing, the only one me and my father had banished from the house. Neither of us could cope with it here. Chocolate spread. Teigan's favourate. I shivered and then started buttering some toast.
"Im going to drive you in today, ok? just to make sure, you know." My dad said as he watched me take a bite of my toast. I nodded apreciativly .
We left the house at 8:40 , i didn't want to be early and i knew this was the time my friends started to arrive at school. Lucky for me , they gathered at the gate first, rather than go to their form rooms. I hope they still did anyway. It was silence in the car all the way. I stared out the window, at nothing in perticular, just trying not to think about what was comeing. I could feel my dad watching me every so often. It made me nervous. Like i was about to break down. We parked just before the gate. I could see them there, they hadn't changed. Although , they seemed calmer, quieter. I didn't like it. It wasn't them. I tensed as my father stopped the car. He looked at me nervously as i reached for the handle, my stomache churning.
"Wait!" he said ergantly. I turned to him in surprise and frustration. What now?
He reached inside his pocket and pulled out a phone. I stared at it. Not a phone. They're useless, i have first hand experiance with that fact. I shook my head and opened the door.
"Go to the office if you need me, i'll come and get you." he sounded nervous, i could tell he was trying to cover it up, it didn't work. I nodded and then turned to see all of my friends staring at me in shock. I smiled slightly, it pulled against my forever dormant lips. I walked over to them and stood infront of the group. My dad drove past quietly, i waited untill he was gone.
"Hi" I said in bearly more than a wisper. Louis, he was about the same height as me and had a huge mahikan on his head, Flung himself at me
"Oh my god Katie!!!" he screamed as he hugged me so tight i couldn't breathe.
"Can't....breathe....Lou" I choked out, i was smiling now, it felt strange, like an old favourate song i hadn't heard for years. It felt nice, normal. Just as Lou let me go a little, and i mean, a little. The others all came screaming to me, throwing there arms around me untill we were all crumpled on the floor. I tensed imediatly and shut my eyes tight. I'd had the sense of dega vu, and i'd just realised why. They all felt it and got off imediatly. Louis extended his hand to me with a slight, weary smile. I took it and he pulled me up. He put his arm around my shoulder and walked me forward, followed, on my left by Kirsty,Lea and Trisha and on my right , next to Louis, by Charlotte, Cerith and Becca. They were all smiling and watching me. We all split up untill it was just me, Charlotte and Lea left to go to our form. I got alot of looks when i walked in and sat down, but they soon stopped when Lea and charl gave them all looks, that even I'd be scared of, i shivered at that. The buzzer went and i jumped. Lea put her arm over my shoulder and squeezed tightly. We walked out and went to our first lesson, Maths. Great.
