I was walking home from training when I heard a motorcycle behind me. I didn’t know anybody who had a motorcycle so I looked behind me and believe it or not it was a guy about my age. I’ve never seen him before. He had black hair with bangs that cover his eyes. He looked well built and strong.
I turned back around and kept on walking. After a few minutes I didn’t hear the motorcycle so I just assumed that he must’ve gone down a side road.
It was about 9 o’ clock at night so it was dark out. My parents complain that I shouldn’t be walking in the dark but I reassured them when I told them I’ll keep weapons on me ready plus I’m training to fight so I will just beat the crap out anyone who messes with me.
I decided to walk down an alley which seems dumb I know but I had a good feeling about it. I was about halfway through when I felt someone watching me. I looked behind me to find nobody there. When I reached the end of the alley someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I was about to let out a scream but they covered my mouth.
There was about a group of guys about 20 years old. They dragged me to secret door behind a dumpster. They pushed me inside. I fell on the floor. I looked up to see that I was in a room that only has one window. There was a sofa, a bed, and a little side table.
The guys surrounded me.
“Please leave me alone” I pleaded.
“Let me have her. I promise not to use her to much you guys can have your turn after a few minutes” a guy about 18 said. The others left leaving me alone with him.
He came close to me. I started to back away. When I hit the wall I got scared. He came down so his mouth was only millimeters away from me.
“Please” I pleaded.
“Don’t worry imma hammer you like a jackhammer”
He planted a rough kiss on my lips. I slapped him. He back away only a little but it gave an open window. I went between his legs, got up, and started running towards the door with everything I had. He grabbed my hair and yanked it back. I gave a small yelp and fell back. Fortunately I landed on the bed. Unfortunately he pinned me down as soon as I landed.
He didn’t waste his time. He started kissing me forcefully. I struggled but he was too strong for me.
“Ah this is in the way lets take this off”
He ripped open my shirt exposing my sports bra. He started to make his way to my breasts when I’ve had enough.
“You shouldn’t have done that” I said angrily then kneed him in the groin. He backed off. I quickly tackled him to the ground and started punching the hell out of him. When I started to hear noise behind the door where the other guys left I quickly went to the secret door and ran out. I grabbed my bag that was left in the alley and ran for my life. I heard feet pounding the pavement behind me. I ran faster. It was a good thing I had on a sports bra or else it would’ve looked like I was about to be raped.
I was only three blocks away when they guys behind me started to catch up. I ran faster but that was a mistake because I twisted my ankle when I stepped in a little hole in the pavement. I fell but soon got up and started fast walking. I didn’t care how much it hurt my ankle I just needed to get away. That’s when I heard the motorcycle again.
I paid it no attention because the guys were about to catch me. Surprisingly the motorcycle stopped next to me as I fell cause my ankle couldn’t handle it anymore. The guy on the motorcycle quickly picked me up and put me on the back. He put a helmet on my head and got on. He quickly sped away just as the group of guys finally reached me.
I told him my address and in no time we were at my house. He helped me off and helped me to the front door. He was taller than me so I had to put my arm around his waist cause his shoulders were past my head and it would look weird if I tried to reach my arm all the way up there. He rang the doorbell and my mom immediately answered.
“Oh my gosh Tory we’ve been worried sick!!!!!”
“Can you show me where the couch is?” the guy asked.
“Oh yes yes, of course” my mom led us to the couch where I let go and plopped on.
“What happened to you?” my mom asked.
“I twisted my ankle while running away from some guys chasing me”
“Why were the guys chasing you?” the guy asked.
“I may have accidentally beat the hell out of one of their friends”
“Where’s your shirt?” my mom asked.
“I took it off when I saw how bloody it was” I was good at lying so they believed me. I didn’t tell them I was almost raped because I new my mom would freak out and call the police.
“Well I better get going” the guy said then left without another word.
After he left my mom put an ankle brace to keep my ankle from moving and make it sturdy. Then I put some ice on it cause it was starting to swell up. My mom helped me clean up some scrapes I got when I tripped the second time. When I was all done I had to stay downstairs cause my mom didn’t want me to risk hurting my ankle some more.
I ate some cereal then went to sleep since I have school tomorrow.
I woke up to the smell of breakfast. I carefully made my way to the kitchen where my mom was making bacon, toast, and eggs. I ate some toast and bacon then I went upstairs to change for school. I put on black cargo pants, purple shirt with a black flower on it, and my black converse. My hair was black with purple highlights so it matched my outfit perfectly.
I went downstairs to see my brother waiting for me. My bro’s name is Josh and he goes to a different school but it doesn’t start till 9 and my starts at 8:30 and it’s 8.
“Ready to go” he said.
“Just let me get my bag” I went to the closet and got my black bag then made my way to Josh’s car. You could say my brother is a speed driver so as soon as we were on the road he cranked it up to 80 mph and sped to school.
All the girls at my school have a crush on my brother so when they saw his car they all watched. My bro parked in the closest parking lot to the school’s front doors.
“Thanks Josh” I said.
“I’m picking you up after I get out of school so an hour after you. Try to keep yourself busy by then”
“Sure whatever” I reached for the door handle but Josh grabbed my hand.
“Tory don’t go walkin you don’t know if those guy will be looking out for you. They can’t do anything on school property so stay on it or at least by the school”
“I promise”
He let go and I went out. People were stunned to see me get out of my brother’s car since we hate each other.
I’m the girl who nobody wants to be friends with and I don’t really care cause I have a lot of friend outside of school. I couldn’t put a lot of pressure on my ankle so when I walked I quickly switched to the other foot. People watched as I limped to the front door and went in. I walked to first period even though it was really early.
The teacher was there so I went in and took a seat in the front. I got a chair and put it close so I could rest my foot on it. My mom said let it rest whenever I have the chance.
“What happened to you?” the teacher asked.
“Twisted my ankle”
“How?”
“I was running and twisted it” I didn’t want anybody to know what really happened but I knew that wouldn’t happen but as long as I try maybe it won’t leak out. I took out my notebook and started working on a drawing. It was a drawing of the face of the guy who tried to rape me. I remembered him as if he was in front of me. When I got done I drew the group of guys as if they were in front of me also. You could say I’m a good artist.
By the time class started I was putting away my notebook and taking out my math notes. Everyone watched me. One person had the guts to actually speak to me.
“Hey what happened to your foot?” she asked. I recognized her. Her name is Sabrina.
“Twisted my ankle”
“How?”
“I was running” I said and looked at my notes. When she took the hint that I didn’t want to speak more on the matter she took her seat. When class was about to begin I heard a knock on the door. I didn’t want to look up so I kept reading my math notes.
“Hello and who are you?” the teacher asked.
“I’m new here. My name is Shane”
I immediately recognized the voice as the guy who helped me yesterday. I looked up and I was surprised to see that it was the same guy. I looked around the room and noticed every girl watching him with shocked faces. I wanted to laugh so badly but knew I shouldn’t so I just quietly chuckled.
“What’s so funny Tory?” the teacher asked. I shut up immediately.
“Nothing” I said.
“Then will you keep your mouth shut I’m trying to talk to Shane” I glared at the teacher. Shane caught my eyes. He shook his head and smiled. I smiled and began studying my notes again.
“Well Shane you can sit next to Tory since that’s the only seat available today because some of the desk got tooken out because they needed them for some testing happening”
Shane took a seat next to me.
While the teacher had his back to us everyone started talking.
“So does anyone know?” Shane asked me.
I shook my head.
“What really happened?” Shane asked.
I got tears in my eyes cause I was still scared to talk about much less it made me sad to remember.
“I can’t say” I said quietly said while wiping a tear that slid down my cheek. Shane saw this and turned back to the front just as the teacher turned around himself. I quickly hid my tears.
“Tory can you tell me what the answer…..”
“2” I said not letting him finish. He turned around and started solving the problem.
“Right as usual and fast this time”
Everyone looked at me shocked.
“How did you do that?” everyone asked.
I ignored them since I didn’t want to talk to anyone yet.
“Tory what is the answer to the next problem?”
I looked up and looked at the word problem. I quickly did the math in my head then looked at my notes again.
“Well?”
“You can’t solve it cause your missing an important piece of information” I said.
“Correct again. Can you tell me what’s missing?”
“How many miles it is per gallon”
“Good. Now tell me what were you running away from yesterday that made you twist your ankle?”
I looked up shocked at the question. I didn’t expect the teacher to ask. Everyone fell silent as well.
“What?” I said.
“Tell me who were you running from that made you twist your ankle?”
“Why?”
“Because I know everyone is curious to know so why not get it out of the way now while it’s still fresh in your mind”
“I know” Shane said.
Everyone looked at him.
“Don’t” I warned.
“She was being chased by…”
“My friends” I interrupted quickly. Everyone shifted their eyes to watch me.
“Then how come…..”
“Shut up” I said through clenched teeth.
“But….” he started.
“I will beat the crap out of you if you say anything more on the subject” I said quietly to him so no one could hear.
“You’re too weak” he said out loud which was a mistake. I got mad.
“You just made a big mistake” I said then got up and grabbed him by the front of his shirt. I slowly made his stand up till his eyes met mine.
“Who’s the weak one now?” I snarled.
The teacher got me out of his grip.
“At least I’m wasn’t running for my life away from a group of guys who looked like they were gonna kill you” everyone looked at me shocked. I got tears in my eyes again.
“You are just like people from my old school!!!!!!” I yelled at him then left the room. Tears where rolling down my cheeks. I didn’t care my ankle is twisted I ran to the bathroom. Nobody was in there. I went to an empty corner, slid down, and cried. I cried like I have never before. I cried for what just happened and I cried for what happened last night. After a while I stopped. I heard people outside the door.
“Tory come out. I’m sorry for telling everyone. I was mad” Shane said.
“Leave me alone!!!” I yelled.
“Tory”
“I said leave me the hell alone” I yelled again then began crying again. Someone came into the bathroom. It was Sabrina. She saw me and came over to me.
“Tory?”
“Leave me alone”
“Why didn’t you tell anyone the truth?”
“I don’t want anyone to know the truth. I even lied to my own mom about what happened”
“What did you tell her?”
“The same thing you just heard”
“So it isn’t true”
“Kind of. I was running away from a group of guys but they weren’t trying to kill me”
“How come you’re not telling anyone?”
“I’m scared they’re gonna find me. I’m scared they’re not gonna give up until they find me. I’m scared what they’re gonna do to me if they find out I told someone and the police get involved”
“You don’t have to go through this alone”
“I can’t tell anyone. At least I can’t tell anyone I don’t trust”
“You don’t trust your mom?”
“My parents and I have a complicated relationship. Before I came here it was just bad. But we’ve been trying to get past it but I don’t think I can trust them anymore”
“What about you’re friends?”
“I barely get to see them. They all go to different schools and they’re not the easiest people to trust. Hell I don’t even know if they act the same with me as they do in school”
“Why?”
“They are like family to me but even though that’s the way I think about them I just know they aren’t so I can’t trust them with something like this”
“What about your brother?”
“We hate each other. We get into fights all the time. The only time we didn’t fight was when he drove me to school today”
“How come you’ve never made any friends here?”
“I know what people think of me so I stay away”
“Well how about if we be friends since I already know so much about you and now I know you’re not like anyone says”
“Thanks”
“You know Shane is really sorry for what he did. He didn’t mean to tell everyone it just slipped out”
“He can rot in hell for all I care. He doesn’t even know the full story he just saved me when they were about to reach me”
“You know I think he likes you”
“Nah…he just did a mistake and is trying to fix it. Even though I know him before everyone else doesn’t mean anything”
“Well then lets go back to class everyone is worried about you”
“All right”
I wiped the tears away and left the bathroom. I saw that Shane went back to class. We made out way slowly to class since my ankle hurts from running. When we got there everyone watched me. I ignored everyone and went to my seat. Shane was watching me but I ignored him. I was still mad at him. For the rest of the morning I ignored everyone but by lunch every knew what happened to me.
At lunch I followed Sabrina as she led me to her table. You could say she is one of the most well liked people in school even though she’s not popular. When we got everyone looked at me. I stood there awkwardly with my lunch.
“What is she doing here?” one of the girls said disgusted.
“She sitting with us today” Sabrina said.
“She can’t sit here. There’s no room for trash at this table”
Last time I was called trash everyone laughed and pointed. Unfortunately I remembered the dumpster from last night as well.
“That’s all right I’m not hungry, anyways I gotta go ask the teacher about last weeks assignment” I took my lunch and threw it away. I left the cafeteria and went outside in the school courtyard. I felt like crying all over again. I said down against a tree. I put my heard in my arms and tears rolled down my cheeks.
I heard someone in front of me.
“Leave me alone” I said.
“Then I wouldn’t be a very good friend now would I” Sabrina said and sat down in front of and started eating. When she was finished it was quiet. I finally looked up to find her watching me.
“Why are you here?”
“I’m sorry for how they acted. They don’t like you and when they saw you I guess they wanted to make you feel unwelcomed”
I wiped my tears away until you could barely realize I was crying at all.
“You wanna come back to the table and this time if they say something mean you just ignore them” I nodded and we made our way back to Sabrina’s table. When we got there they gave me unwelcome looks.
“What is she doing back here?” one of them said.
“She’s sitting here and that’s final” Sabrina said and sat down. I sat down next to her. I put my bag on the table.
“What do you got in the bag?” Ruby from english asked.
“School stuff”
“You got any drugs?”
“NO!!!” I said loudly.
“Yea right. Why don’t we take a look?”
She reached for my bag but I quickly snatched it away before she could get her dirty hands on it.
“What are you hiding?”
“School stuff. I don’t like people snooping through my things”
“Hey we let you sit here so give us the bag”
I got up.
“I may have a twisted ankle but I won’t be afraid to kick you ugly ass so shut up and leave me the hell alone!!!!” I yelled at them. They sat there stunned. I limped to my next period. For the rest of the day people stayed away from me because they were now afraid of me. I didn’t see Shane or Sabrina for the rest of the day.
At the end of the school day I went out and waited for my brother in the parking lot. I sat down on the sidewalk.
It’s only been a half an hour and I am bored out of my mind. No one was at the school except for a few people just hanging with their friends. All the teachers already left because they all have a meeting at the other high school.
I was looking around when I saw them. The guys from last night and also the one I beat up. I got scared. They started making their way across the street to the school. I got up and started making my way to the few people left making it look like I was meeting up with them. When I was still far away for them not to notice I stopped and turned around. They were still coming my way. They were in the parking lot now.
Even though my ankle hurt I took my chances. I ran.
“Get her!!!!!!!!” they shouted and started chasing after me. I was away from the school heading for my fighting school. I was running while also limping. They were gaining up on me fast. I took a sharp turn into an alley. That was a big mistake because they chased me in and it was a dead end. I turned around to see them all surrounding me.
“You’ve caused us a lot a trouble and now you’re gonna pay for it” they said then one of them came over and grabbed me tightly. One of them got a cloth and put it over my face. Everything went black then.
Josh got to Tory’s school about a half an hour later. When he got there Tory wasn’t there. He waited for five minutes then left mad.
“Dammit!! I told her not to go anywhere” he said angrily and made his way back home. She probably just went home, he thought. He took his time to get there. Half an hour later he was home and angrily went into the house slamming the door shut. Mom and dad came into the room wondering what the hell is wrong.
“Josh where’s Tory?”
“What are you talking about isn’t she here?” Josh asked.
“She never came home” mom said.
“She wasn’t at school when I got there. I thought she came walking.”
“I bet she just went for a walk and will be here any minute now” dad said.
They waited all night and Tory never came home.
I woke up in a dark room. I looked around to see she was in a small room where there was only a window and nothing else. The floor is concrete. I got up and walked around the room. My back hurts from the floor.
“Where am I?” I asked out loud.
A door opened nearby and a light came on. It was the group of guys. They came in and surrounded me.
“By the time we’re through with you, you will be dead”
They said then came in closer till they were in a tight circle. Then they all started beating me up.
It was morning and still no word from Tory. At school the next day people were asking why wasn’t she in school today. Apparently they were all worried about her.
At the house Josh, Mom, and Dad were trying to think positive and kept telling themselves that Tory probably is just at a friends house.
But when Tory didn’t come home that night they called the police.
The police came over immediately.
“What’s the problem ma’am?” they asked mom.
“My daughter Tory she’s missing. She didn’t come home for the past two days and we’re starting to wonder”
“Did you check with all her friends?”
“They all called asking for Tory so we just assumed she wasn’t with them”
“When was the last time you saw her?”
“I dropped her off at school that day” Josh said.
“Is there anything else that could help us find your daughter?” the police asked.
“Yes. The day before she disappeared she came home with a twisted ankle. She said that she was taking a shortcut through an alley when a group of guys jumped her. She said she beat up one guy and then they started chasing her. She twisted her ankle while running. They were about to get her but luckily a boy from school saved her. He took her home but oddly enough she didn’t have her shirt on so she was only in her sports bra. She said she took off her shirt because it was covered in blood and she didn’t want to come home with a bloody shirt on”
“Thank you. Do you by any chance know the name of the boy who saved her?”
“No but I can tell you he just started school yesterday and he’s in her grade”
“Thank you very much. We will call you when we have something.”
The police left.
The pain was excrutiating. I can’t fight back because of the pain. They each took a turn kicking, punching, or just plain whipping me with a belt. I noticed I left my bag in the alley.
“You ain’t never gonna see the sun ever again” they said and then they kept on beating me. When they were done I couldn’t move at all. They left and before they left they said “Have fun rotting in here cause no one is gonna find you”
I felt something in my pocket and took it out. It was my cell phone. Luckily there was no damage done and I still had full battery. I flipped it open and it turns out it’s been two days since I got here. I was about to call when I fainted.
The police went to Tory’s high school. They asked for any kids that have recently came. The secretary found one. Shane.
The police walked down to Shane’s math class which is his first period. They knocked on the door.
“Come in” they heard the teacher said and went in.
Everyone became silent.
“Hello officers what’s the purpose of your visit?”
“We have come to talk to your class. I understand they all know Tory Cavanaugh”
“Yes they are probably the only people who talk to her please go ahead”
The police turned to the rest of the class. They were all silent.
“We have come to talk about one of your classmates Tory”
“Is she in trouble? Where is she?” Sabrina asked.
“That’s the reason why we are here today. Tory has been reported missing as of today. She hasn’t come home since two days ago”
Everyone started talking.
“Quiet!” the teacher said.
They all became quiet.
“We wanted to know when was the last time you saw her?”
“After school” everyone said.
“She was waiting for her brother but when he got here she wasn’t here. Did any of you see where she went?”
“I saw her walking but then she disappeared when she reached the side of the school” Roger said.
“Good that’s a start. Shane we need to ask you a few questions concerning about how you saved Tory the night before she disappeared”
Everyone became silent.
“Describe everything that happened that night”
“I was riding my motorcycle when I saw her running away. She was also kind of limping so I bet she hurt her ankle. She didn’t have a shirt on only a sports bra. This group of guys were chasing her and were gaining up fast. She tripped. I rode quickly to her. I put her on my motorcycle and quickly drove away just as they got to us. I took her home and after she explained to her mom what happened I left and went home. But by the way they were chasing her it looked as if they wanted to kill her”
“Thank you”
“Ummmm……there’s something you should know” Sabrina interrupted. Everyone looked at her.
“Before she disappeared it was in this class and she got upset. She went to the bathroom crying. I went after her. We talked. But what she said bothered me. I have never knew her that well because I always thought she was scary. Everyone thinks that so no one pays attention to her. Well anyways while we talked I found out a little about what happened but not details but more disturbing stuff like feelings and such”
“Can you tell us what happened in the bathroom?”
“I went in to see if she was all right. She was crying in the corner. I asked her why she wasn’t telling the whole truth because I knew she was holding something back. She said that not even her parents know the whole truth she kind of lied a little. She said she couldn’t trust them. But what really got to me was what she told me. She said that they weren’t trying to kill her they were trying to get her back, I’m not really sure cause she didn’t say but I think that’s what she meant”
“Did she say anything else?”
“She was scared. Not that I’m afraid of ghosts crap or I’m afraid of getting beaten up by this person but real scared. I’ve never seen anyone in my life that scared. If you looked her in the eyes you could see that how scared she was. She was scared for her life, she was scared that if she told someone the truth they called the police and the guys found out they would come after her”
“Did she describe what they looked like?”
“No but I bet if you found her bag you can find out”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because she sat with me at lunch and one of the girls asked her if she could look through her bag but she snatched it away and held it tight and I saw that fear again in her eyes”
“Thank you for the information. If you receive any news about where Tory is please contact the police or her family” the police said then left.
After the police left everyone was talking.
“What do you think happened to Tory?”
“I bet she got kidnapped by those guys”
Sabrina stayed silent because something was nagging at her. She looked at Shane who was looking at his hands on his desk. She made his way to him and sat down in Tory’s seat.
“Shane did you happen to see Tory before you saw her running you know like in the past”
“I saw her once walking. She was walking with her bag. She had her shirt on then. It was before I saw her without her shirt on and only a sports bra. I noticed some shadows in the alley before her and I thought she would just walk right past but then I took a right and didn’t see her till later on. I didn’t know she was gonna go in the alley” Shane said.
“It’s not your fault you know”
“I know but I can’t help but wonder why did she go in the alley in the first place”
“I guess she thought it was a shortcut”
“No because when I dropped her off I noticed that she was really far away from her house like not even twelve blocks away more like twenty blocks away. It makes me wonder why she was even there in the first place”
For the rest of the day Shane and Stacey tried to figure it out and after school they paid a visit to Tory’s house.
I woke up and noticed that my phone was still in my hand. I was about to call when a pain in my arm stopped me. I noticed I had a piece of glass in my arm I took it out and fainted again for the third time.
Tory’s house was surrounded by police cars. Sabrina and Shane made their way to the front door and rang the doorbell. Mom opened the door.
They went in. They went to the living room where the rest of Tory’s family was.
“Hey Josh” Sabrina said.
He looked up.
“We wanted to ask you guys something. I saw Tory walking earlier that day when I picked her up. I noticed she was a long way from home. Do you happen to know why she was so far away”
“She was training that day. You see Tory trains to fight so when she’s in trouble she uses that to defend herself. She was walking home cause she didn’t want a ride. We argued and then it was agreed she would walk home”
I woke up the third time and this time I dialed Josh’s number and called. I put it against my ear waiting for him to pick up.
At the house they were all silent when suddenly Josh’s phone rings. He takes it out and see’s it’s Tory.
“It’s Tory” he said then answered immediately.
Everyone became silent. Josh put it on speaker so everyone could hear.
“Tory. Tory are you there?” Josh asked urgently. The police were in the room tracing the call.
“Josh?” Tory said weakly.
“Yea Tor it’s me”
“Josh, you gotta help me. It’s those guys that were chasing me. They got me when I ran into an alley. I thought I could lose them but it was a dead end.”
“Tory do you know where you are?”
Silence.
“Tor you still there?”
“Yea I was gathering my breath. You gotta find me soon. I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna last”
“What do you mean?”
“They beat me up pretty badly. I can hardly move. I was barely able to get my phone out of my pocket. Right now I’m lying in a puddle of my blood. The last thing I remember is that I was close to fighting school. I dropped my bag. I drew a picture of them in my journal. If you find them you find me.”
In the background everyone heard a door open.
“I’m gonna leave my phone on in my pocket so you can hear everything but hurry”
‘hey you it’s time’
Josh left his phone on incase they could hear Tory again but they just heard a bunch of moving.
“We got her she’s at 15 west street in the basement”
Everyone raced to their cars and went to 15 west street.
They carried me into another room but this one was weird. There was a table and a sofa. I saw a little stool. They laid me down on the concrete floor and left. I didn’t get why they put me in here until when thee door closed I heard a soft growl. I looked up to see a dog baring his teeth at me. Now I knew why they brought me in here. They were gonna let the dog kill me.
I reached into my pocket and found what I was waiting for, my pocketknife. I was so glad I remembered it or else I would be dead for sure. I threw the knife at the dog. It lodged into it’s throat. It gave a small yelp and fell sideways now lifeless.
After the dog was killed I laid there for a few minutes before I heard gunfire and shouting on the other side of the door. Then finally opened and policemen came in with their weapons drawn. When they secured the room the ambulance came.
They put me on a stretcher and carried me outside. My family, Sabrina, Shane, and a bunch of onlookers were watching. When my mom saw me she came running over crying.
“Mom” I whispered.
“Oh Tory, I’m so sorry I’m so sorry” my mom cried.
“Mom listen” she looked at me.
I gave one of my rare happy smiles.
“You don’t need to cry. I’m safe” I whispered cause I was so weak from blood loss.
My dad and Josh came running over to me.
I kept my happy smile on my face.
“I’m alive” I said then my smile faded and I fainted.
I woke up in a hospital room. I looked around and saw my family sitting. It looked as if they’ve been crying.
“why has my family been crying? Has someone been picking on you? Tell me who it is and I’ll beat the crap out of them” I joked. They all rushed to me.
“We thought you died when you fainted” Josh said.
“Well I’m very much alive thank you very much”
“The doctors said it would take a miracle for you to live through surgery because you lost all that blood”
“It wasn’t a miracle that I’m still alive. Didn’t the doctors tell you?”
“tell us what?” My dad asked.
“I was pretending to be asleep and I overheard the doctors they said ‘she’s very lucky. Any more blood loss and she would have been dead. It’s a good thing she knew how to stop the flow of her blood or else she would have been dead before she got here’”
“Wait you stopped your blood flow. How?”
“I kept on fainting so when I did I pretend to shut down my whole body and hibernate and apparently it worked”
