Tormented

Chapter 2

Its my first day in the new house,i open my eyes and the room is bright,from the sun shining in through the window.

Its very quiet,its alittle too quiet,im used to the sounds of waves and people out on the beach.

I get out of bed and walk to my window,nope..still just trees,and the field,and that road.

I made my bed and looked myself in my mirror,i dont remember a crack in it yesterday,i slide my finger over the crack and it cuts me.

I walked downstairs looking for a band-aid,dad was sitting at the counter,reading a newspaper.

"Hey honey,how'd you sleep?"he asked,"alright i guess,its too quiet"i say while going through cabnets.

"too quiet? Really nicole? People would kill for this silence"he notices what im doing and asks "what are you looking for?".

"a band-aid,my mirror has a big crack in it but it wasnt there yesterday,and i cut myself"i answered,

"what? How would that happen?"he asked.

"well.me being dumb and all i went and touch the crack and.." He interrupted me,"no..i mean,why would it break",i shrugged.

After he gave me a band-aid he went to check out my mirror,and i followed him.

He just stood there infront of it and then stared at me,then i realized there's no crack in the mirror.

"what?..it was there two minutes ago!"i say,

"listen,i know you dont want to live here but telling lies and self harming will not get you any step closer back to sarasota"then he walks out.

I stared at the mirror shocked,it was perfect,not a scratch,how is that possible?

After i got dressed i went downstairs,i told dad i was going for a walk.

I was still mad at him for not believing me and thinking id hurt myself on purpose.

We live more far away from the city and closer to the woods and stuff which i find wierd.

The closesr places to us are in walking distance which is a library,grocery store,bank,bakery,and small schools.

I decided to go to the bakery since its closest,when i entered the store the bell on the door went "Ding" and i swear everyone notices me and stares,its uncomfortable.

I go up to the counter and look at all the selections of cookies,muffins,and brownies,then i ask the girl at the counter for a chocolate chip cookie.

She smiles and says "sure!,you new here?",

"yeah,how'd you know"i asked.

She laughs,"its a really small town,and everyone knows everyone,so its not hard to notice someone new,you live in the white house on proctor ave,right?".

"um..yes"i say,she hands me my cookie in a bag and i walked quickly out.

As i decided to walk to the library i ate my cookie on the way,just watching people,text,walk there dog,and jog,everything seems pretty normal,i guess.

I walk into the library,full from my cookie and go to the "romance novels" section.

I enjoy reading thosw types of book,my favorite are all the twilight books.

I grab "twilight breaking dawn" and sat down at table.

When i was on chapter 5 i noticed that someone sat down infront of me.

I hesitate but look up from my book at a shaggy black haired,brown eyed boy.

"hey"he says,"uh" i close my book "hi"i say back.

"you're new,arent you?"he asks,

.....Is it that obvious....

"yes,i just moved here yesterday"i reply,

"thats awesome!,welcome!"he said enthusiastically,

"its not really that awesome,id rather still be in sarasota"i say,soon after regretting those words because it made his smile turn into a frown.

"oh,well you'll get used to it here eventually,maybe you'll like it here"he rubs his neck,

"im eric by the way".

"im nicole"i reply,"nice to meet you nicole,well..i guess i'll quit bothering you and let you read"he smiles and walks away.

I watch him walk away and then he sits down on the other side of the library with a group of friends.

Oh how i wish to be with MY group of friends.

.....Eric seemed...nice...
