Chapter 12
KATIE'S POV
When I woke, I found myself on the bathroom floor still. It was dark, like night dark.
Oh shoot. What was the time? I pulled out my phone. Oh god. 9:45PM. How the hell was I going to get out of here now? Why was I still here? Hadn't anyone been in the bathroom since break? I shoved my phone in my pocket and ran out of the bathroom. The corridor was empty and all the doors were locked. What if I couldn't get out? What if they found me here in the morning? I'd be excluded for sure. They have cameras... I'm doomed. My mom is going to kill me. I needed to get out of here and fast! My phone! Wait... Who would I dial? Maybe jake would.... A little piece of paper fell on the floor as I pulled out my phone.
'ETHAN'S NUMBER' it read. Oh thank god. He better have a car. I dialled the number.
"Ethan speaking. This better be someone I want to talk to" He groaned. "If not you know how it goes from here"
"It's Katie" I said causally. What the hell? You are trapped in school Katie! Get to the point and get out of here!
"Hey Katie what's up? I didn't see you after talking to you this morning" His whole attitude had changed. Ate set I was someone he wanted to talk to...
"Yeah.... About that.... I passed out in the bathroom and I like only just woke up" The words just came flooding out. He stayed silent for a second or two before laughing.
"So your like stuck in school?"
"Yeah...."
"I'll come and get you. Stay there" YES! I HAVE NOBODY ELSE!
"I can't go anywhere anyway"
"Good point"
"Thanks Ethan" I put down the phone. How did I end up with that piece of paper in my pocket? Hm...
I sat down on the stone steps in school. Brilliant. My thoughts were on jake. On what happened today. My mind kept replaying the scene over and over again.
His eyes showed hurt, pain and anger. What was so bad? What would hurt a bad boy like jake?...
Exactly 9 minutes later I saw Ethan's car pull up in the driveway. It was a black convertible. Gorgeous.
I saw him through the glass door. He wore a tight black shirt that suited his face perfectly and stone washed jeans. Hot.... But not as hot as jake. What the hell? I'm thinking about him at a time like this!! And after all that jake did!!!
"Now how am I going to get you out of there?" I could barely hear him through the thick glass.
"I don't know just please get me out" I begged. He nodded and paced around thinking.
"I think the only way to get out is the window on the first floor"
I put one finger up, to say one minute and I ran up the stairs. I opened the window and looked down. Horror I could deal with, heights not so much. The only time this wouldn't effect me was when I was on a Roller-coaster.
"How am I supposed to get down?" I stammered.
"I'll catch you" No way! There was no way I was putting my trust into someone like that. And his history of being a delinquent wasn't helping.
"Wow. Wow. Wow. I'm not going to jump"
"Then I guess you are going to have to stay there... All night" He started to walk off. I couldn't stay here! No!
"Wait.... Don't leave me" He turned back and smirked. A little like jake... well... he was his best friend. Was I thinking about jake too much? I don't think it's good to be thinking about him when I'm going on a date with his best friend on Saturday. "What if you don't? Catch me I mean"
"Come on. You really think I'm going to let you fall?" Ok... I can do this. I can do this. I looked down at the floor. Oh god I can't do this. Breathe Katie. Breathe. It's not like you can die from jumping out a window or anything.... I swung my legs over the window ledge. I closed my eyes. "You are going to be alright Katie" I jumped and landed in his arms. Oh my god. I'm alive! Alive! He caught me.
"Thank you" I wrapped my arms around him.
"Welcome. Do you want me to drive you home or do you have a car?"
"Can you drive me?" I asked, sweetly. I could walk, but it was cold.
"Yes" Ethan replied. "Of course I can"!
"Ok" I nodded and he took me to his car. We got in and he put the hood down before driving off. I loved this car so much. The wind was in my hair. Hehe.
Ethan accelerated down the road and I laughed. This was great. Amazing.
"Here" He said once we got there.
"Thanks" He gave me a quick nod as if to say welcome.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then"
"Yeah" I smiled. "I'll see you Tomorrow" He watched me walk inside before driving off. The smile on my face was hurting my cheeks. ouch! ouch!! Hehe.
Then, I heard jakes music playing upstairs. Really loud. I think the band was green day. My smile melted. I didn't really want to go upstairs incase he knew i was in. I was still a little scared to go near him. That's when I heard the phone ring. The music stopped and he stared to walk down the stairs. I hid in a dark corner so that he couldn't see me.
"What?" He spat answering the phone. That's when I ran up the stairs and into my room. Maybe he had heard me go up... Maybe not...
"What do you mean you aren't going to be back for a week?" Jake shouted. "Ughh. You know what don't come back at all" Who was on the phone? He slammed the phone down.
Why was he so angry? What had they argued about? I had to find out....
