Chapter 39A Chapter by Dr.Who.LOVER Chapter 39 of "Silent." Like HALF of the school Hailey and our
dates bought tickets at the door. Thankfully Travis and Vincent remembered the
canned goods for my sister and me. But after that Hailey and Vincent separated
from us. Walking into the gym was like walking into an oven. It was already
warm in there from all of the people. Oddly the lights were still on and there
was no music. You could see the students
and what they were wearing. Not what I was expecting. Suddenly the doors swung
shut and the lights went out. “Let’s get this party STARTED!!!”
screamed the DJ. The Black Eyed Peas’ song Boom
Boom Pow was blasted and multi-colored lights began to flash. That’s when the dance REALLY began. Everyone
was dressed in dark clothing, except for two who were wearing two white dresses
so bright it cut through the darkness. And those two, beacons of light were
doing a cat walk towards Travis and me. “Hey Paige,” said Janet, “what do you
think?” Janet and Alyssa were both
dressed in white cocktail dresses. Janet’s was beautifully beaded and looked
like it was pulled in on the center of her stomach. Alyssa’s was simpler but
her diamond belt stood out the most. “Only you two.” I said laughing. “Thanks and, see those two hotties over
there? “And the one next to him is Ian Filmore
he’s momma’s.” purred Alyssa. “So the mystery is finally over!” I said. “Yup, oh hey Travis long time no see.”
Said Janet. “Hi Janet nice to see you again.” “Likewise. Oh Paige do we have GOSSIP for
Y-O-U!” “Really?” I said intrigued. Okay I’m
totally against spreading rumors. But hey, good gossip is good gossip.
Especially when it comes from the queens of the school. “Yeah, okay so you now Scottie and
Blake?” began Alyssa. “OUR Scottie and Blake?” “Yes well ya know what they were always
like REALLY close?” finished Janet. “Yeah so?” Janet and Alyssa looked at each
other then at me, then at Travis, then back at me. My mouth dropped. “NO WAY!” I mouthed the word gay so Travis wouldn’t hear. “WAY WAY!!” squealed Janet. “Oh my God.” “I know right!” said Alyssa. “What?” asked Travis. All three of us
said “nothing” at the same time. Just like old times. “Can you believe it?” asked Janet. “I know. Talk about scandalous!” “I don’t know, it’s kind of a turn on.”
cooed Alyssa. “YOU WOULD ALYSSA!” I said. “Yeah seriously?” “What?” suddenly we all busted out
laughing when we saw how lost Travis was. “Well I’m going to go entertain our men.”
Said Alyssa strutting away. “PAWS OFF FAMION!” But instead of saying
okay Alyssa flicked her off. “Well I have to go, don’t miss me but I
think Trav over here can help you cope.” I wanted to hit her but I restrained
myself and let her shake her a*s back to Alyssa and their dates. “Well that was….uh nice?” “Yep that’s Janet and Alyssa for ya.” The
song changed to “I Feel Like Dancing” by All Time Low. Everyone started dancing
and when the chorus blasted everyone jumped up and down fist pumping. Somebody
call the police, I think they’re coming to get me. They say you’ve got the
right to remain on the dance floor so show us what you got cause you know that
you know that you’ve got more!” By the time the song was over everyone
was lined up at the snack table for refreshments. “Dynamite” was a lot of fun. Every time it was “I throw my
hands up in the air sometimes” everyone was jumping up and down with their
hands up. Lemme tell you, walking in heels was hard
enough. Jumping was a WHOLE different story. I tried to anyway and fell a few
times but Travis was always there to catch me. Finally the moment I had been DYING for.
“Dynamite” suddenly changed to “Miserable at Best.” Everyone quickly found
their dates and began to dance to the music. Travis wrapped his arms around my lower
waist as I did the same around his neck. I couldn’t remember the last time I
had smiled so much in one night. I rested my head on his shoulder, I don’t know
why but it felt right. I felt him place his cheek against my head. I could’ve
stayed like that forever. But the song was only 5 minutes and the 5 minutes
ended quickly. Soon every one broke apart, and began to dance to “Time Bomb.”
But I needed to get off my feet. I sat on the bleachers that had been pulled
out. Travis sat next to me holding two cups of punch which I thankfully chugged
down. I opened my purse re-applied my lipstick and checked my phone. 6:55. Everyone was still dancing to “Baby I
Like it.” Baby
I like it! The way you move on the floor! Baby I like it! C’mon and give me
some more. Oh yes I like it! Screaming like never before. Baby I like it! I-I-I
like it! “You ready?” asked Travis yelling over
the music. Suddenly I was re-energized
when “Dear Maria Count me in” came on. I gripped Travis’s hand and yanked him
back onto the dance floor. I went crazy shaking my head when the guitar parts
came on. But all I could do was laugh and try to stay on my feet. Surprisingly they played a lot of All
Time Low songs old and new. After the 3rd song I was tired again. I
stumbled off the dance floor like I was drunk. I collapsed on the bleachers awkwardly.
I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was Vincent Valey . He looked worried. He
got right in my ear and he still had to scream. “HAVE YOU SEEN HAILEY?!?” “SHE ISN’T WITH YOU?!?!” “SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM 10 MINUTES
AGO!!!” “I’LL GO LOOK!” Vincent nodded and sat
down. Travis looked lost again. “I’LL BE RIGHT BACK!” I yelled to him. “YOU OKAY???” “YEAH I’LL BE RIGHT BACK!” I pushed
through the people and ran into the bathroom. My ears were still ringing from
the loud music. I was still trying to adjust to the bright lights in the
bathroom. There were 5 girls crammed in there all fixing their faces but…no
Hailey. I even checked the stalls but still she wasn’t in there. Where
could she be??? I walked back into the gym
and every guy (including Travis) was doing the Souja Boy while every girl was
laughing their asses off. The song ended allowing Travis to find me. “Hey you’re back.” “Yeah see you were having fun.” Not
a stranger, no I am yours. I crippled angel with tears that still drip soar. “Yes but not as much fun as I’m having
now.” he said as we backed on the center of the dance floor. But
I do not wanna be afraid. I do not wanna die inside just to breathe in. This song reminded me so much of my OLD
life. When I shut everyone out because, if I let anyone in they would be ripped
away. But staring at Travis all those fears evaporated. I knew he WAS really
mine and I was his until the end of time. “I love you.” I screamed. He kissed my
forehead making my skin tingle. The song ended and Travis and I made it back to
the bleachers. I wanted to check my phone for the time but when I opened my
purse I saw the tiny screen was blinking. It was a text message…. from Hailey. Can you please come outside in the front? Please and
HURRY! I
couldn’t hear the lyrics to “What the Hell” because all I heard was like
someone was playing g a drum in my ear.
I checked when I got that message. 7:07pm.
So…four minutes ago. “YOU
OKAY?!?” Travis touched my shoulder making me jump. “YEAH
UM,” should I tell him? “I’LL BE RIGHT BACK!!” He looked confused as hell but
he let me get up and walk away. Part of me wished he hadn’t or maybe if he
followed but he didn’t. He too along with the dance disappeared behind me. I
clutched the phone in and pushed the doors to the gym open. The two front doors
were open letting in air. As soon as I stepped outside the temperature dropped
a good 10 degrees. I stood
out on the middle of the walkway and kept staring at the text message.
Something wasn’t right. Suddenly a chill ran down my spine and I got this very
uneasy feeling of… I’m not
alone. The dance
inside seemed distant, like it was 1,00 miles away. I rubbed my arms but goose
bumps still traveled up my arms and the hairs on the back of my neck were
standing straight up. I thought I saw someone move on the lawn. Right…THERE! “Hailey?”
but it quickly disappeared, “is that you-” suddenly two hands came out from
behind me. One wrapped around my neck the other holding a disgusting smelling
cloth over my mouth. I tried to scream, I tried to pry the arms off. I breathed
in to let out another scream, big mistake. As soon as I did the world began to
swirl. I felt myself being thrown over someone’s shoulders. My head began to
bob as the two front doors got further and further away. I could hear
“untitled” playing from inside. How could this happen to me?!? I’ve made my
mistakes, got nowhere to run. The light goes on as I’m fading away. I’m sick of
this life I just wanna scream!!! How could this happen to me??? The song,
was a harsh reality. I was falling, with no hope of return. Before the world
finally fell away I could’ve sworn I heard someone scream my name. ….. No pain No sorrow No fear. Nothing…. only the darkness that has now become my only friend… My world © 2011 Dr.Who.LOVERAuthor's Note
