Help Me: Chapter 7

I stand still, holding my breath feeling my legs becoming weak but before I think of what I'm doing I scream "NO!" And run out the bushes pushing James on the ground.

"What the hell?!? Eliza! What are you doing?" I turn around and see Leonia standing with sharp eyes, clenching her teeth. "What am I doing here, what are you doing here, why aren't you stopping this?" I swing my arm to Troy, who was groaning on the floor with mouth full of blood. Leonia frowns "James get up and tell her NOW!" James gets up holding his stomach "I was right Eliza you have a hard head." I hear Leonia growl "Damn you idiot just tell her or we'll have to kill her."

I feel little drops falling down on my cheeks it was raining. "Fine Eliza we're not students here, we just came for a "Project."

"What project!" He looks down "To kill Troy and..." I hear Leonia chuckle, "AND WHAT!" I scream at the top of my lungs.

He bites his lips "To kill you," I hear a click behind me, I turn around Leonia was holding a gun pointing at me "Aw to bad we do have to kill you." She grins and her eyes shine with insanity. "What?! Why?"

"You're so stupid, aren't you Troy borrowed some money from our boss, he didn't pay back because he is a worthless sack of garbage." Her head turns to Troy. Who was still on the floor and a pool of blood forming around his head, I shake "And why me?"

"Because you know too much, you read the newspaper and you were there when James was talking on the phone with his boss and also you're here right now so," she cocks the gun to the side her finger on the trigger. She starts laughing and whispers "Goodbye Eliza," and I hear the shotgun.

Everything was quiet I touch my belly I wasn't bleeding, I look over to Leonia she groaned "You mother." And she falls down on the floor her heads falls on the side eyes open and deep red blood forming around her head.

I turn around and see Troy on his knees holding a gun "Troy," I whisper "Run Eliza run get out of here," he screams dropping the gun on the floor coughing out blood.

My legs start running into the woods it was raining I couldn't see anything it was dark and all around me were tress and silence "Eliza!" I hear James voice behind me I start running in deeper pushing the branches, the rain was hitting my arms hard and my feet were dirty and wet.

I hide behind a rock breath hard talking big gulps of air. I hear rustling in the trees "Eliza I know you're here!" the footsteps gets close my heart starts beating faster and faster. Then there was silence just pure silence my hands were shaking as I get up looking around, no one there.

I start walking out "There you are." I turn around and see James his black hair wet and sweat dripping down his throat "Go ahead kill me I don't care anymore!" He gets right up to my face. His hand goes around my neck I stand on my tiptoes as he picks me up.

I feel the air coming slipping away from me suddenly he pulls me and his lips goes on mine his hand lets goes of my neck.

And he keeps kissing me deeply and warmly, he pulls away "I'm not going to kill you," his hand touches my cheek "But I don't get it," he pulls away, "I won't kill you, if you don't leave right now here and never come back ever! You hear me I don't want to every see you again, if I do then I will kill you next time NOW GET OUT!" I stand there confused he clenched his teeth "NOW!!" And I start running away.

The silence of the woods was consuming me as I try to find a way out; all I saw was trees, trees and more trees and darkness. I fall down on my knees not understanding why but I wanted to go back to James have him kiss me again, but right know the only thing that was my friend was silence as it listened to me cry as silence was making me sleepy with its slow warm air.

(2 weeks later)

I start packing my suitcase; I hear a knock on my door "Hey how are ya?" "Hey Kim," I half-smile looking at her red short pixie hair and light pink lipstick and dark eyeliner giving her the smoky look. "Had better days," she smirks "Yea me too me and Mark had a fight." I shake my head grinning "Thanks for stopping by," I pick my head up looking at her "I guess that's my cue and get the hell out I really don't care about your bullshit right now cause I got my own problems cue." We both laugh and she walks away.

Troy was in the hospital, he was ok just a few injuries. I finished packing and go downstairs the cab was waiting outside. I feel everyone eyes on me as I walk down the road the feeling of pity and sadness behind my back.

I get in cab and take out my cell calling mother as we turn the phone kept ringing "Hello Angel residents." I smile "Hi mommy, I'm coming home."
