Lost, Broken, Confused - Good Charlotte
You turned around and gave a small gasp as you came face to face with the school clerk.
A mousy woman with graying hair, she was usually friendly but could be fierce if she needed too.
"Students aren't allowed here," she clarified.
"Uhm, I was here to change my address on the school files cause it desperately needed to be changed for a field trip," you managed to keep your stammering under control as you told a lie from the top of your head.
The school clerk's glare lessened just a little but she still kept her beady black eyes trained on you.
"You could have just asked me to do it," she said sternly.
"There was no one here and I've been waiting for almost 15 minutes," you said innocently as her expression changed.
"I was only gone for 5 minutes," she muttered.
"Maybe you just didn't notice me," you offered as you got up and inched your way to the door.
The school clerk pursed her lips but let it go as she let you off with a warning to call her instead if you needed help.
You nodded your head and quickly exited the school office gratefully, literally running to your Jeep in case she changed her mind and decided to take action.
You hopped in and quickly started up the car, racing out of the school compound with your mind buzzing.
Your search on Jack had produced the results that you seriously weren't expecting. You remembered with a grimace that the only thing you had on him was his previous address from a town named Burgess.
You sighed. You had no idea where that town was.
You decided that you would give up your search on Jack as you rounded up Emily's driveway, mentally preparing yourself for her to start scolding you because of your flippant attitude this morning.
Emily opened the door as she heard the familiar rumble of your Jeep and put her finger over her lips as if to tell you to be quiet.
You nodded and switched off your car as silently as you could and walked lightly to her doorway.
Up close, you could see the dark shadows from last night beneath Emily's eyes as she gave you a hard stare.
"Sorry," you muttered as she sighed.
She knew you were referring to your callous attitude this morning but she just led you up to the privacy of her room so that you wouldn't wake up her still sleeping family.
As soon as the door closed, she rounded on you with a glare.
"What the hell (F/N), I called you up this morning and you gave me such a vague explanation and I was so worried that some mutt had kidnapped you last night and all you did was cut me off this morning?!" she silently screeched.
"Well, truth be told, it's almost late morning now," you said in a sheepish tone as Emily threw her arms up in the air with a look of annoyance.
"Look, I'm sorry, okay Em," you said somewhat defensively.
"Zander called me this morning and said that he saw you leaving last night with that guy- what's his name? – oh yeah, Jack or was it Jake," Emily explained in a more calmed tone.
You could have swore that your heart plummeted to your stomach.
So he did take you home.
"And when Zander went to look to see if he needed help, he had already disappeared and so did you. Now you see why we're so worried," she emphasized.
"Plus, you said you didn't know who took you home," she said in a somewhat accusatory tone.
"That's because I didn't, I was out cold from all that liquor," you stated.
Despite her anger towards you, Emily couldn't help but chuckle at your reaction.
"Lightweight," she said in a snigger.
Your only retort was sticking your tongue out at her and just like that, all the tension and anger around the both of you melted.
"Was Zander sure that it was Jack?" you asked in a small tone as you were sitting by her bed, lazily playing with the buttons on her in built flat screen TV.
Emily turned and gave you a contemplating look.
"As sure as I'll ever be," she said in a convincing tone.
"Do you have a thing for Jack?" Emily asked aloud after some time and that question nearly made you fall over.
"What?" you spluttered out.
"Thought you did," she said in a smug tone.
You opened your eyes to defend yourself but Emily beat you to it.
"It's so damn obvious (F/N)," she said in a knowing tone. "The way you seem to perk up at his name, the way you can't keep your eyes off him and the fact that he took you home does seem to show that he may have feelings for you too," Emily said with a smirk as you glared at her.
"Am I right or am I right?" Emily asked, her blue eyes alight with amusement.
You sighed but gave up. When your best friend decided something, she always stuck with it no matter how much you rebelled against her idea.
"Yeah, whatever," you mumbled under your breath.
You spent the whole day at Emily's home since you didn't want to return back to your empty house. The both of you had watched movies until night had fallen and you decided to return home.
When you were driving down the road back to your house, you suddenly had a strange notion that someone was following you.
The roads seemed eerily quiet that night and no signs of other cars could be seen. You gripped the steering wheel even tighter when you noticed that there seemed to be a glint of yellow in a cluster of trees beside the road.
You blinked once and the glint disappeared and you warily felt yourself relaxing. Despite that, the hairs on your arms were raised, your skin breaking out in goose bumps.
You were just about to shake that notion of as being silly when a dark mass ran in the front of your car.
You gave a shriek as you steered the car to the side, the tires skidding against the tar with a loud screech. You managed to stop the car from falling inside a ditch as you caught your breath.
You cautiously peeked out the window and were surprised to see the roads empty. You got out from your car carefully as you went to inspect the damage that your Jeep may have sustained.
You sucked in a deep breath and moved along the road, keeping your eyes trailed for the thing that jumped out in front of your car.
You knew it was a stupid move but you needed to see what had scared you because you wanted it to be confirmed you weren't going out of your mind due to the experiences of yesterday and today.
The moon shone with a strange glow above the scene. Almost as if it were trying to tell you…
Just then, a growl could be heard as you gasped and turned to the source of the sound.
Your (e/c) widened as adrenaline pumped through your veins at the sight before you.
It looked like a massive dog with the same murderous yellow eyes. But the strange thing was, it's fur was completely midnight black and the texture looked wispy, almost like…
Black sand.
But you knew sand couldn't move this way.
Maybe it's a werewolf? You thought in a panic. That would make so much more sense.
Its teeth were bared and it looked poised to attack, its blackened teeth glinting dangerously in the moonlight.
The black sand wolf thing stalked closer to you as you took a terrified step back.
With a jolt you realized that there was nowhere else for you to run besides the thick forest and that was an option you did not want to consider because it was already nighttime.
The roads were empty and the next rows of houses were kilometers away.
Dear God, help me you silently prayed as the wolf crouched in its haunches and leapt into the air.
You lifted your hands to shield your face as you gave a loud scream of terror.
A thudding sound and a groan could be heard as you looked up in confusion. The wolf was still there in front of you but it was frozen solid…
You eyes widened when you saw its state.
Suddenly, you felt someone grab hold of your waist and before you could react, you somehow found yourself in midair.
You screamed when you saw the rapidly shrinking ground in sight and your grip on your saviors' neck tightened.
Wait, a neck?
You looked up and were shocked into silence when you saw it was Jack… His expression was strained but you could make out just a hint of a smile on his pale lips. But how could he be flying? How could he have saved you from the wolf?
"Jack? What the hell?" you choked out and for the second time that week, you blacked out to unconsciousness.
