To Know Who I Am

I'm Scared

Sean was at me house by noon the next day. My mom handed me six hundred to get everything that I needed. At the mall Sean bought me food and tried buying shoes for me but I wouldn’t let him. I got my school supply and close and still had four hundred dollars left. We headed back to my house and once everything was in the house made dinner and watched a movie with my mom and step-loser. School was coming fast and fast. I had only and three months left to do my tenth grade year. The school was going to let me do both at the same time but I don’t know if I can. Let’s hope that there not much homework for the first three weeks. The day school started Neveah who I had not since yet and was my best friend come to make sure I was still going to school. I pulled out in my car and followed her to school once everything was in the car.

It was my first day back to school. 

  I know that I shouldn't be going back just yet but being in that house one more day I was going to die.  My Jr. year in high school but it didn't feel like it was. Everyone that I pasted in the hall looked at me. They had a lot of questions that they wanted answered but couldn't come to ask them.

Neveah walked next to me not saying a word.  We walked to homeroom and sit in the back.

The second we sat down she turned to me. “Look Nora people are going to start asking questions. They already have.”

A puzzled look on her face. “Well not out loud but I know that they are on the inside.”

 I smiled at her. “I’m okay with them asking.”

She looked at me funny “You're too strong Nora.”

“No I'm not.”

She moved closer to me. “Yes, you are okay, you are the only person I know that has been kidn*pped and fought tell the end and you're here today.”

 I thought about what she said. “Well I hope I'm the only one... no one should ever go throw what I went throw. It’s hell.”

She stood up and hugged me “Nora he gone.”

 “I know that. And I thank my dad and Scott for that.” I said.

“Wait whose Scott?” He asked questioned.

“A man that die because of me. Oh, man, I should have listened to him. And he would still be alive today.” I pulled my books close to my chest.

She signed. “Nora don't blame yourself, okay?”

“Well, that's better sound then done. Now is it?”

“Okay class welcome back to a new year of school. Today we are just going to be going around the room telling our name, something that we did over the summer, and what we are going to do next summer.”

 I will start. I am Mrs. Antoinette this summer I took this job here at St. James because I want a new start in live and this is where I ended up at. Next summer I hope to go back to American.

She smiled sweetly. “Now who is next? Umm yes you there in the back.” I looked up in a heartbeat. “Me?”

 She giggled. “No sweetie the one next to you. Yes you.”

Everyone in the class looked at me and whispered to themselves. “Umm, well, umm, I'm umm well; I'm Lenora and this summer I...I...”

I looked at Neveah.

“I can’t I'm sorry.” I started to cry as thoughts came back to me.

Sean found me in the hall. He helped me out to the car. Once we were in the car I broke down crying and he let me. He healed me close. After a bit of crying I looked at over the park lot. There was only one other person in the lot that looked to be running late. She was rushing around in and out of the car. She dropped a book and when she went to pick it up she stop and looked at me. She smiled shyly and then run into the school. I looked back at Sean. He leaded over the wheel and looked at the sky.

“Do you think it’s going to rain today?” his asked to start talking.

“Maybe. I hope it will.”

“Yeah we need it.” He started the car and pulled out of the lot.

“Sean what are you doing we can’t just leave school.” I looked at him. 

“Yes we can.”

“Mrs. Michael isn't going to like this.” 

“All you have to do is tell her that you wanted to go home and that I drove you home.”

“But my car is back here.” I said. He looked at me. “I have Sarah drive it home tonight. Okay?”

“I'm scared Sean.” I looked at him.

“About what?” He signed.

“That Louise is going to find me.”

“Nora; His not going to find you because he is in a pen house under a high grading system. He can't get out.”

“But what if he does? He told me that he would found me where ever I am in the world. That he would kill me without any thinking this time.”

“Nora he can't kill you if he doesn't know where you are.”

“Sean he knows where I live.”

“What if he gets out he would come to kill me first before anything.” I said.

“And if he gets out then your dad will call me and we will run away, just you and me.”

“And where would we go?” I asked.

 “Well if we don't know the he won’t know now will he. I guess.” He said slowly.
