I lay under my white covers. Still. Like I'm dead.
It's super quiet here. My mom's gone away with her boyfriend. She left me a note just like I did. I think she might have done it to spite me.
Whatever, I don't care. If anything I'm happy to be alone.
It's been a week since Aron and I got back. A week since I went to see Chase in the hospital.
A week since I've spoken to Aron.
He's called me a few times but I don't pick up. I make sure the door is locked so when he comes he can't come in. And it's always quiet in here. I don't leave the bed.
My mind has been very.. dark these past couple of days.
I've thought of doing what Chase did more than I ever have. My mind is driving me insane.
I can't help but feel guilty and responsible for Chase, I can't help but hate myself for going to Alabama and I can't stop being angry at Aron.
I'm miserable. I want to die.
My phone buzzes.
Loren: Chase wants to see you. Come to school. Everyone's worried.
I bury my head in the mattress.
If I don't come it'll upset Chase. I can't let him down again.
Sky: i'll be there
I turn off my phone and hop in the shower.
I run my fingers through my hair and wonder why Chase is back at school so soon. Did his parents force him?
I throw on a big black hoodie, black sweat pants and black All Stars.
Today I want to disappear.
I pull up to school just as the lunch bell goes off.
I walk into campus and everyone starts whispering and staring at me.
After all, I haven't been here in two weeks. I pull my hoodie over my head.
"Yo dude, where the hell have you been?" Shawn pounds me.
I flinch. Dammit, I'm so weak.
"Just took a break." I answer
The other guys quickly follow. I look around for Aron but he's nowhere.
"I wish my parents would let me take a break whenever I needed one. Geez." Mikey says.
No, you don't. I sigh.
I look around the campus anxiously and then I spot Aron all the way at the back of the parking lot stepping out of his car. He doesn't see me.
"I gotta go." I say quickly and I walk off.
I go inside the school and look for Loren. I spot her at a table with Chase.
I go up to them.
Chase looks up surprised.
"Sky!" He says happily.
I work hard to smile.
"Why so surprised? You asked me to come, didn't you?"
Chase frowns. Then he looks at Loren who looks down guiltily.
"Loren! I told you not to bother him!" Chase says embarrassed.
"I know but.. you kept going on about how much you miss him and—"
