Hopeless Chapter 8

I wake up on the shore choking out water. Above me, Jackie holds my hand and Flint stares at me.

"Shes up lets go." whispers Jackie "I'll carry her to the car."

"Oh please." I choke out. Jackie isn't exactly fit, althought I am short and very skinny I don't think Jackie could make it a few feet with me in her arms.

Slowly, I put my hand on the rock next to me and stand up. Until I become aware of the blood pouring from my back. As I fall back to the ground I see Peter staring out his window, at me. I point, Flint follows my finger up to where Peter stands.

"We gotta go." he says throwing me over his shoulder. I moan, the pain is unbearable and I'm assuming I lost an extreme amount of blood. So I pass out.

I wake up on the couch at Flint's house. His parents are away for the summer and his grandmoter is probly at work. Carefully I stand up and feel the bandages around my back. "Oh." I moan and regain my balence. Slowly I slide over to the corner of the room where a mini waterfall flows from the walls and into a bowl at the bottom. Carefully, I run my fingers through the cold water, then I hear footsteps down the hallway and run back to my spot at the couch, and pretend I'm still passed out.

"I'm not sure what their coming for." says Jackie "I mean nobody knows who she is do they?"

"Obviously Peter does." says Flint "Peters house was completely empty when we got there, she must have done something wrong."

I get up from my position on the couch and walk to the corner of the room. I feel Jackie and Flints eyes watching me as I put my head under the waterfall.

"So. Who knows what about who?" I say turning around and facing them. My hair is begining to get wet from the waterfall and I pull away and step forward. They just stare at me and right then I knew, something was wrong.
