Chapter 2
After eating breakfast I started to straighten my hair and put on some chap stick, I usually don’t use any make up.
I’ve never thought that I’m ugly, I have almost black shoulder length hair, full lips, big dark eyes and a somewhat nice body. I took a look at myself from the profile and frowned, when I was 14 I got into a fight and broke my nose, I still have a bump on my nose.
Whatever, it’s the inside that counts right?
I slipped into my dark jeans and my Chicago Bulls hoddie.
I didn’t bother taking a jacket, it’s not that cold. School starts 8.00 and it’s still an hour left. I left my house, there isn’t anything to do this early at home anyways. I started walking towards the woods and stopped, will Zayn be there?
No, why would he be there this early anyways.
Putting my headphones on I started walking into the woods, only this time I’m not taking the regular way, I decided to wander around in the woods, that sounds stupid I know but it’s not dark outside and I have a phone if some freak tries to murder me or something.
Ii was following the trail to school, and halfway there were two different trails. Left or right? Hmm considering there’s a puddle to the right I’m taking left.
Why does Zayn hate me? Maybe he doesn’t, maybe he just had a bad day yesterday.
I kept thinking about the incident from yesterday until I saw a cottage. I feel adventures so I start jogging to the cottage, can the door possibly be open? I tried.... and it was not open. Just my luck, well my luck is not going to stop me from doing something I want. I went around the cottage and looked in to it through a window. Okay so I’m seeing a TV, couch, kitchen and someone sleeping on the couch... wait WHAT? I spun around really fast and knocked a piece of wood over.
“Shit”
I didn’t even bother to see if the person woke up, i just started running. I heard someone scream, but i didn’t get what the voice was saying. Who cares, just get out of here Tara.
I probably ran for 15 minutes straight without following the trail, guess what?
I’m lost!!
“Okay Tara don’t panic, it’s not dark outside so nothing can hurt you” I kept mumbling comforting sentences for myself while I was walking the way I came from.
After walking for a while I sat down on a rock.
Why did I even go to the cottage... oh yeah, because I’m adventures.
“Well Tara, you might as well listen to some music”
Oh my god how could I be so stupid, I have my phone with me!
But who do I call?
Mom and dad are too busy to ever check their personal phone and Jake... I’ve barley said 5 sentences to him. I have no choice do I?
“Hello?”
“Hi Jake it’s me” He was quiet for awhile.
“What’s your name?” Seriously?
“It’s Tara! How can you not know the voice of your sister?”
Shit, I’ve shouldn’t said that. I mean he lost his sister only 3 weeks ago.
“You are not and will never be my sister, got it!”
“I’m sorry Jake, I didn’t think about... you know.”
“Whatever, what do you want?”
“You’ve seen the woods by our house right? So I was going to school and there are three trails. I took the left one and saw a cottage, then I started running but I didn’t follow the trail back and now I’m lost. Please help me” Gosh I sound pathetic.
“I’m 5 hours away from Bradford Tara. I can’t help you.”
“Where are you then?”
“That’s none of your damn business. I couldn’t care less if you disappeared or not, you mean nothing to me”
He ended the phone call.
The words he said honestly hurt, because I’ve always wanted a big brother to look after me and deep inside I guess I had hoped that Jake could be my brother, or act like one.
Okay so I can’t call anyone for help, so basically all I’ve got is me, myself and I. We make quite a good team.
I kept walking the direction I came from and hoped that I would have to fine the cottage sometime soon.
I promise this story will get better.
