Ch.8_

"And then I came here to see you guys." Alice finished summarizing basically What she told me upstairs.

"Baby I'm just so glad to finally see u again, how could u think I wouldn't want to see you again?" Mom asked on the verge of tears.

"Because of dad" she trailed off looking down.
"Sweetie he messed up by doing that, not you, I tried to get in contact with you but failed."

I went into the kitchen leaving them to catch up or whatever. I checked the time. It was some time around 8, which meant Alice would probably be leaving soon. I probably wouldn't see her for a while after tomorrow morning since her classes were getting serious.

I really missed Alice and I'm glad she found us, even if it was her sad excuse of a father who actually found us.

The sun in my face indicated that it was morning and that I should get my sorry ass up. I groaned and checked the time, 7:40. Oh Fvck I'm gonna be late.
I gotta start setting an alarm on my phone instead.

I rushed to the shower and quickly did my morning routine, changing into white jeans and my burgundy crop top sweater and burgundy vans.

I walked down the stairs and greeted my mom who was making coffee, "morning baby, you want any?" She asked offering me coffee.

I pulled out my phone and it was 8:20, looks like I probably would be late.
I poured some coffee and added in milk and sugar. I hate plain black coffee.
Then I casually walked out the door, you cant be late twice to one class right?

I walked towards the bus stop and suddenly remembered about Alice leaving soon, I had to say bye.

I pulled out my phone again and scrolled down to find her contact that she gave me yesterday . If I wasn't already late I would've asked to see her before she leaves.

We talked throughout my whole bus ride while I sipped my coffee, if Angelo didn't leave early yesterday, I probably would've asked him to drive me again today.

When I got to the school the front was empty. everyone was inside already.

Everyone except Xander. I walked over to his leaning figure against the tree.

"Wassup" I asked
"We're not friends" he said without even looking up.
"I didn't necessarily ask but okay. Aren't you going to miss first period?"

"Aren't you?" He asked without answering my question.
"Probably but I don't care" I shrugged.

"Well can you go skip class somewhere else" he asked probably getting annoyed.
"Why are you so rude" I asked laughing.

"Why don't you get the hint that I don't really want you here" he shot back finally looking up.
"Probably cause you gave me a weird nickname without even knowing me and ate my cookies yesterday"

I saw a slight tug on his lips but he quickly shrugged it off. "Whatever" he said getting ready to move away from me.

"What? No kitten? Whats with that anyways?."

"It's way easier than rocko" he scoffed referring to what Britney called me before.

"Rocky" I corrected him, "and if you say so" I said.
Then he walked over to a different tree and I walked inside.

I went to my chemistry class and took a seat. As the lesson went by, The day seemed to go so fast and sooner or later it was lunch time.

"Hey rocks, over here" Alex said waving me over. I walked to the group and sat down.

"Did u forget that u can get a tray full of food over yonder" said Elijah carrying his tray to the table, sitting down.

"Who the hell even says 'yonder'"?  I said getting up to get my tray. As soon as I got up and turned around i was face to face with Derek.

"Hay wa-" "Have u seen Xander?" Derek interrupted me.

"No, what happened. Is he okay?"

"I don't know, I saw him before second period then he just disappeared"

"Does he do this often?" I asked.

"No but i checked all over the school and around it." He said walking out the door with me behind him.

"I saw him this morning, just leaning against the tree, I spoke to him but you know him, he brushed me off" I said as we walked out the front door. This school's security is pretty low, they dont have scanners or security at the front desk in case any students like us walked out the door.

"I have an idea where he is which is why I'm bringing you along, hes gonna hate me for this tho" Derek said mumbling the last part.

"What do you mean? Where do you think he is, what do I have to do with this"

"I didnt need to bring anybody, but your tough and I think he actually sees a friend in you so he mighttt be ok with it" he said dragging the might, "plus the last time i was there, it didnt turn out good" he mumbled

"Ok ive known him for two day but where are we going?" I asked again

"Don't freak out"

"Derek." I said sternly. "You'll see" Derek responded opening his car door.

10 minutes later we were at some broken down building. It looked to be maybe 3 stories tall. We exited the car and an uneasy smell hit my nose. A smell that bought back bad memories. Back to one of the many memories that made me the person I am today.

I turned to Derek already hating the moment. "I think I should stay in the car"

"We didn't even get to the scary part yet pebbles" he said going in chuckling.

"You wouldn't understand" I mumbled following him inside uneasily.

We went inside and it was dark, the only source of light was coming from the windows. I don't know what he'll even be doing here but, by the time we finished with whatever we're doing,  it'll be time to go home from school. 

I followed him upstairs and we checked every apartment on the second floor, most with broken down doors, all with broken dirty items.

We then went up to the third floor and searched the first two rooms. Derek pulled out his phone "Damn 1:50 Go check the roof,  ima check these last two". He went into the third room and I went to the roof and heard talking. I didn't hear their conversation but the conversation sounded petty casual.

I debated with myself whether I should quietly spy around for Xander or if i should I go get Derek first.

I decided on the second option and turned around to go downstairs. But just before I turned around a pair of manly hands grabbed my shoulders.
