Young, wild, & free
*Chapter Two*
Haleigh returned home late that night.
"Where have you been? I waited in the parking lot, but you never showed. I didn't mean to ditch you like that, but I figured someone picked you up." Lizzie asked.
"Oh, yeah. I hung out with some friends. That's all." Haleigh's face was swolen and red from crying.
"You look like you've had a rough day. Wanna talk about it?" Lizzie asked, generously.
"I'm just tired. I'm gonna crash for the night." Haleigh went to her room.
"I can't believe this. It's like reliving it all over again. I wish you were here, mom. I need you right now." Haleigh started to cry as she pressed a picture of her mother to her heart.
She cried herself to sleep.
Around 3 in the morning, Haleigh was awakened at the sound of unpleasant moaning noises.
She looked over to see Lizzie in bed with the school's quarterback, Lukus.
"Of course." Haleigh thought, and fell back asleep.
The next morning, Haleigh and Lizzie got ready for school.
As they rode in Lizzie's car, Haleigh stared out the window.
"So, I was thinking, and guess what?" Lizzie said in her usual preppy voice.
"What?" Haleigh asked.
"I have the perfect plan to make Mike jealous at the party! Ok so-"
Lizzie continued on for about 5 minutes.
Haleigh ignored her completely, as if she was muted.
"What am I supposed to do? I can't hurt her like this any longer. I just can't do it." Haleigh thought to herself.
"So, what do you think?" Lizzie asked her, when she was finally done.
"Oh, great idea!" Haleigh pretended to care.
"I know, right? This will be hilarious!" Lizzie giggled.
They pulled up to the school.
"Hey there, cutie." Lukus wrapped his arms around Lizzie's waist from behind.
"Last night was fun!" He whispered seductively in her ear.
"Yep, sure was!" Lizzie pretended to be interested.
She never got attached.
After Mike, she lost complete trust in guys.
Lizzie pushed Lukus' hands away, and strutted to the building in her stilletos.
"What's her problem?" Lukus asked Haleigh.
"Problem? No. That's just Lizzie." Haleigh laughed.
Lukus gazed into Haleigh's eyes.
"There's something different about this one. I just can't figure her out." He thought.
Haleigh started to feel uncomfortable.
"Well, I'm gonna go to class. See ya!" Haleigh walked away.
She stood outside of her 1st hour class, with her hand on the knob.
"I really don't want to go in." She mumbled, remembering her incident from the day before.
She opened the door with caution, and slowly walked in.
The desk behind her's was empty.
Haleigh smiled with relief.
She sat in her desk, and started to copy the notes from the board.
The classroom door creaked open, and a familiar figure walked inside.
"I'd like to speak to Haleigh Pettifur, if that's alright?"
The teacher nodded, and gestured for Haleigh to go.
Haleigh got up, nervously.
She could feel her palms sweating, her hands trembling, and the butterflies flying through her stomach.
"Is this really happening?" She thought.
"Hello, Haleigh." The man said, once they were out in the hallway.
"Impossible." Haleigh thought.
"How did you find me?" She asked.
The man's smile suddenly faded.
"That's not important. I need to speak with you. It's about your dad."
Haleigh's stomach dropped.
"Come with me. This can't be done here." He told her.
They walked down the hallway, and out the doors.
Just then, Haleigh had a flashback.
She started panting, and couldn't breathe.
Everything went black, and all she could see were these beaty green eyes staring down at her.
She fainted.
