THE ENEMY, MY PARTNER.

WOODS GAME

After doing my business and making sure that I look presentable, I exited the bathroom with my permanent fake smile on my face. I refuse to keep crying for the asshole that never actually thought twice before cheating on me. He didn't even think of breaking up with me since he got tired and he resulted to cheating. I don't even want to think about how long he had been cheating on me. Trying not to think about the good times we spent together, I made my way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. It took everything in me to not run back to my room and cry again. I felt awful within me. And no Matter how much I try to look okay, I wasn't okay. It hurts so much that I started crying again in the kitchen Infront of my family. I couldn't keep it together.

After hours of crying out my pain, I looked around to find my self in the living room which surprisingly was neat and everyone was staring at me with concern.

I wiped my face and smiled at them.

"You can't keep doing this sis" Clara spoke shocking everyone. We all turned to look at her.

"What, she keeps that smile on her face like all is well. She's been trying to comfort everyone since mom left while deep down she's feeling like sh*t. Thanks to the motherf**ker that broke her heart, I wouldn't even know she has feelings. And could actually feel pain." I grimaced. Guess Rity didn't fail in her job as my best friend. Clara never spoke to anyone since my mom died. She only ever speak with her best friend and her boyfriend which explains while everyone is still staring at her shocked.

" No school today guys?" I asked them. This time Micheal answered.

" We took the day off".

"Clara, it's good to know that you have started talking again but I'll remind you, no bad language in my house" my dad scolded before turning to look at me.

" How are you feeling Leys." Yup, he's the only one to call me Leys. And I got the bad nicknaming habit from him since I call Henriette - Rity.

"I don't know".

"Zayn called this morning saying he couldn't reach you" Michael informed.

"She blocked his number silly" Clara responded.

"Good to have you back Clara". I smiled at her.

"Riley, did Zayn hit you?."

"No Rita. He didn't but he was being a bad boyfriend". My dad answered.

"Henriette came to check on you early this morning. She said she would be back by lunch break to have lunch with us ". My dad informed and I nodded in response before staring into space. So much for acting tough.

Rity dropped by this afternoon and we spoke at length. She finally made me smile and convinced me take a work in the woods saying something about the calming effect of the woods. I took her advice as am absentmindedly sitting on a rock deep in the woods in front of a small lake, throwing stones into the lake. I heard a sound behind me making me raise my head to take in my surroundings again. It's a good thing that I marked my the trees while I walk else I would have considered myself lost.

Again I heard something that sounded like a roar beside me and I got to my feet. Up until now, I never realized how deep in the woods I got. Carefully, I turned and started walking back the same way I came until I heard the roar almost directly behind me. Turning again I saw a black bear angrily staring at me.

"Holy sh*t" I cursed before turning forward and taking to my heels.

I ran like there's no tomorrow. Without stopping, I turned to look at the bear gaining in on me. I turned forward trying to run fast as I make my way through the marked trees towards the direction of the busy road praying that I somehow make it out of this woods alive.

I kept running past the trees trying to push myself further and far away from the destructive creature behind me. I never want to be caught in the process of its destruction. ' why would such a creature be after me, why would I attract the wrath of mother nature' I thought to myself. the more effort I put in gaining myself a satisfactory distance, the more the damn creature draws closer to me.

'this is death staring me in the face'.

'this is the end'.

' I don't want to become a freaking giant bear morning snack'.

'my ghost shall definitely hunt Henriette, it's her fault am in the woods'. I thought as I ran.

Suddenly I got hit to the ground at the same time that a gunshot sounded and the bear roared. Then I blacked out.
