The days passed by so quickly it was a blur and all that time all i could remember about the crash was that i lost my best friend and nothing would be the same again ,not for a long time anyway. We were together since primary school and inseparable now she's gone and I'm the only one left to deal with the outcome. Numbness over took my mind on most days , college doesn't feel the same as though everyone blamed me for what had happened. In there eyes I see the words no one wants to say
'Chloe should have survived , we liked her more'
I sigh sitting on a bench away from all the chaos inside. Something has been itching the back of my mind ever since I got out of hospital but I can't place what it is.
Then realisation came to me
hazel eyes deep brown , that was the colour of the eyes that saved me from the car and took me away from my best friend .I made a vow if i ever saw him again i would make his life hell . I could have died with the most important human in my life in that car . That would have been a graceful gift than to struggle without her, I lean back and look up to the cloudless sky. You could have showed a little mercy to her I think to no one in particular.
A couple of students from the parking lot laugh in my direction. Talking to my self will not help my situation I decide and get up forcing each step towards the entrance.
The morning sun was shinning high in the sky a little to brightly for my mood and my loss since i don't have Chloe anymore to drive me to school i'll just have to do with the bus. My dad still thinks i cant have a car but at least this time he had good reason not to give me one . i stopped at my college entrance and stood there looking at it school sounded so alien compared to what had only happened a couple of days ago . i walk down the hall and it was silent eerily silent... to silent for the school i know .
Looking around me people were stopping to look at me. when i noticed them they looked away not making eye contact and when they did i could only see pity and hate.
my heart sank to the floor when i realised those looks filled the hall way and I had become an even bigger outcast than before. They knew , they all knew about the accident and they blamed me . i kept walking trying not to pay attention to the laughs and whispers around . i unlocked my locker and opened it wishing i wasn't there .
"Bitch"
Austen and the basketball team walked up to me , i tried to ignore them
"you little bitch , you killed Chloe didn't you ? why didn't you save her you were right there ! "
he said, the rage obvious on his face . The hallway was pin drop silence everyone's eyes were on Austen
"you shouldn't even be blaming me she was coming back for YOU if you want anyone to blame ,blame yourself you selfish ignorant idiot"
i screamed at him , i can't believe he was blaming me for the crash when i cared for her more than he'll ever do and he knows it
"so your blaming me now are you your the witch here not me you probably planed the whole thing everyone knew you liked me and you where jealous of Chloe and her fame in this school so you wiped her out"
he said so coldly i could feel his anger radiating off him like heat
Now i was really angry how dare he say that. i could feel the boiling anger coming from inside my chest begging to be let out. I stepped towards him but his whole face changed and he started backing away. i felt my face change into one of disgust at what Austen had said , i was going to reply when i saw the shock on Austen's face he was staring at me they all were but i was to angry to think about why . i was about to say something when i felt someone pick me up from behind lifting me straight off the ground while run off away from the crowd that gathered.
The stranger put my hood up and ran to the empty library . He closed the heavy oak doors behind him and i was drowned in darkness . i couldn't see anything only the darkness around me . i reached up for the door knob
"That was careless you shouldn't let yourself get so angry Amy"
At the sound of my name i turned to face the voice although i couldn't see i could make out a bit of his face . He had a bold face strong , he was seemed well by together but i couldn't make out anything else . It was to dark to see but i had to admit he was sort of cute as soon as the thought came into my head i dismissed it . I'm not supposed to like people that pick me up and shove me in a dark library .
"How do you know my name"
I asked giving up on the door knob and looking for a light switch
"Because i know you but you don't know me , well you used to anyway "
The stranger said and i could hear sadness in his voice
"Before he took you away "
"Who? " i asked
"no one , don't worry the thing that's most important is you're ok i couldn't see you in the hospital i had ... things to do "
The stranger said this took me by surprise and i gave up my searching and faced the voice. My eyes had adjusted to the dark now and i couldn't believe i missed it before they where practically the only light in this room. i moved back as i starred into deep hazel eyes . They were so intense i couldn't keep my eyes off them they were welcoming and loving sincere eyes . It took it all out of me to look away desperately looking for a light switch so i could see better as i shuffled around he spoke
"look I'm sorry for what happened to your friend there was nothing i could do "
his voice was so sad and lonely i almost forgot why i hate him i stood up cursing the dark. Why couldn't i have glow in the dark fingers or something
"your sorry ?"
I hear myself say voice low ,looking at his face a dark smile sprung across my mouth
"your sorry right that's much better . You think thats going to solve everything , it won't bring her back!"
I was shouting now , it came out harsher than it was supposed to but i didn't care
"there are people out there blaming me for her dying and your sorry? do you think i wanted any of this , my life was perfectly fine before any of this happend and your sorry for dragging me away from her . Wow okay look i dont care who you are but i dont even want to know what you have to say "
i said turning the door knob i just found but before i could step out into the light of the corridor he pulled me back into the darkness held be tight and whispered
"i never wanted this to happen , it wasn't the plan. Do you think i really wanted her to die ? so dont blame me for something that was out of my hands "
his voice was much calmer than mine and had so much pain in it and suffering i just wanted to slap myself . How could i blame him for everything ? but then i remebered him dragging me away and that pushed the guilt right out of me replacing it with anger so much anger i knew my hair was bond to be glowing but i didn't care
"i dont care if you never wanted it to happen, but you should have just let me die with her "
i said through gritted teeth his grip tightened and he truned me round so i was facing him
"i would never let you die not even for a minute i wouldn't be able to handle it"
he said with serious eyes filled with longing although he wouldn't let go i didn't care i was suprised to find i actually want him to hold me he was the first person that's talked to me today i felt safe in his arms . He was looking at me so intensely i just wanted to hug him let him be mine but as the thought came into my head i quickly dismissed it and remembered HE dreaged me away from chloe that day he's the one i was supposed to hate then why did i feel so safe around him . I looked up into his now familiar eyes my own turning blurry at the Edges . I closed my eyes and inhaled my vision swayed and I felt my cheek creese the floor as I fell into a memory .
