A Stab in the Back
Prolouge
The warm, end-of-summer air blew softly through
my hair as I stepped out of my mom's BMW.
I'd just gotten back from a long vacation in Rome with my
mother and I couldn't wait to step back into my house and
collapse onto my bed.
It's good to be home I thought.
I ran up to the front door of my yellow, old Victorian styled
house and unlocked the door.
The smell of lemon and comfort filled my nostrils as I set down
the keys on the side table near the door.
I helped my mother grab the luggage out of the car and jogged up
the stairs with my bags.
While running up the circular staircase, a wave of sleep fell
over me.
As I reached my door I flung it open to find my room the way
I'd left it.
Clean, vanilla scented, and the walls were still the same shade
of pink that they were when we left 2 months ago.
The shades covering my windows were closed which made my room
eerily darker than usual.
I plopped down on my bed and tried to drift off to sleep.
But I couldn't because I was thinking about my best friends;
James and Lauren.
Lauren was like my twin; except she had blonde hair and blue
eyes. We'd been best friends since gymnastics in
kindergarden.
Then there's James.
James has been the only guy I've ever liked. We've known
each other for 13 years and I've loved him since. He had
brown swoopy hair that grazed his eyes. His beautiful gray eyes
that made me feel complete and full of butterflies.
Lauren was my neighbor which was a good thing. And her bedroom
window was facing mine which was a plus if we ever needed to talk
( which is all the time ).
I opened my window shades to let some sunlight in because I knew
I wasn't getting to sleep anytime soon.
My smile dropped to a frown at what I saw outside the window as
my heart sunk to me toes.
My stomach was in knots and my head felt like it was about to
explode.
Across the window, was a blonde girl with blue eyes making out
with a boy with swoopy hair and beautiul gray eyes.
Lauren and James.
Should I do more?! FavCommentFollow(:
