Crushed: Chapter 12- A New Friend

~~~~~~~Audrey~~~~~~

I somehow lost my flashlight on the falland couldn’t find it. Then I saw a bright light to my right and reached for it. I got hold of it and shone it toward where I tripped. It revealed a person. The person, assuming probably that it is a boy, cause of the hoodie, laid on their stomach. “Sir?” I whispered. I moved in closer. “Sir?” I tried to flip him over. It was Lucas.

~~~~~~Ally~~~~~~

I started walking out of the forest. Lost, but but not frightened. Iwasn’t in any hurry to get home. I moved forward. I listened for any cars or loud noices, and looked for any bright light. I found none. I looked behind me, to find a light shining on my face. “Ally, what are you doing here?”

~~~~~~Audrey~~~~~~

I stood facing the now frozen Ally. “Ally what are you doing here?” For once she looked nervous. I started to get impatient when she didnt answer. She toke a deep breath. “Look, I was here because-” A moan cut her off. I walked back, hoping that it was Lucas.He looked cold and miserable. “Lucas, its Audrey. Can you tell me what happened?” His lips quivered, shaking. “I was following you. I tripped on that stump there-” pointing to where Ally stood.. “And then next thing I knew I heard a loud “BANG!” A loud bang? I would have been able to have heard that from miles away. “Lucas, can you tell me where it hurts?” He pulled up his shirt, and there, was a hole, and warm blood ozzing out.

~~~~Will~~~~~

I sat in my room, trying to contact Audrey. No one picked up at her house and she didnt answer her cellphone. I stood up and got my jacket and left.

I arrived at her house about half an hour later. The house was dark and empty.  I tried to enter through the front door, and sucedded. It was unlocked. I walked in. “Audrey?” I tried to find switch, but the light wouldnt turn on. “Anyone home?” Then there was a ruffle in the kitchen. “Who’s there?” A voice asked.

~~~~~~~Lucas~~~~~~~

The night was strangely not too hot. It just happened to get shot on this day. I could feel the warm blood on my chest. I kept re-playing it in my head. The loud shot and the warm slap in my chest. I got a little picture of the guy. He wore some kind of hoodie. Just exactly the one I saw Will had on the other day. Will. That brought a new thought into my head. It must have been Will. Who else?

~~~~~~Will~~~~~

I walked into the kitchen wondering who it was.  “Ivan? Is that you?” He stood up. ” Yes brother, it is me.” I froze. It couldn’t be him. He was in prison. “How did- Why are you here?” “To get revenge my brother.” And he toke a knife out of his pocket and lunged at me.

*~~~Update!~~~*

Ok… I have I been thinking really hard about this….
I know how I’m going to end Crushed… but still isn’t sure how many chapters are left. But today I’ve made my mind up and will write about 4 more chapters for Crushed. Soooo….. that means the big finale is coming up! I, also, promise to make this last chapters longer and much more better than any of my other chapters! At least I’ll try to.

Also, I’ve told a few people that after Crushed is done… I’ll be writing a new story. So far I’ve gotten the title and plot down. It’ll be named “Marked.” When I’ve gotten more details and maybe actually a preview for it.. I’ll update you!

That’s all! Thanks!

Crushed: Chapter 11-Exposed

*I just found out I will busy… VERY busy on Thursday so I ‘m posting this chapter early. This will probably happen a few times! So… just to let you know. Thanks!* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ally~~~~~~~~~~~~

We heard footsteps in the woods. So we stopped. We tried to escape, and we succeded. We stood about three trees behind where we were. A light shone on our clothes. Then I heard a familar gasp. And saw a figure walk toward our clothes. The figure looked at our clothes and looked at it, and left.

“That was close.” I nodded. “To close. Any idea who it was?” He was silent. “No.” We sat by the tree. Our clothes under us. I looked at him, and kissed him. He smiled. “I love you.” “I love you too, Will.”

~~~~~~ Audrey~~~~~

I flashed my light, and found some clothes laying there. Just a girl’s pair of clothes. What was strange though, was that they looked stragely familar. I ignored the clothes and kept walking.

I tried to walk back, but I got lost. I found myself walking in circles. I flashed the light everywhere. I saw something move in the distance. I went toward it. I looked and saw n0thing. I stepped backwards and tripped over something. A body.

Crushed- Chapter 10: Missing

*I couldn’t wait a other day, so I already broke a rule… (my personal rules) and posted a chapter a day before it was due. This won’t happen every time, but a new chapter should be posted every Thursday! And oh, Crushed is soon to be ending… and then I’ll start a new story, Marked. I’ll post details soon! K, thanks!*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Audrey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I some how managed to actually stop crying. I stood up and went to my room. I looked toward my clock, and it read 7:30 p.m.. Weird, dad isn’t home yet, I thought. I called him, and he didn’t answer. Then I found myself leaving my house, and going no where.

I walked and walked. I didn’t know where I was headed. I stopped at the gas station near my house. I went inside and bought a energy bar, and paid. I went to look at the newspaper rack, and one read: Local Girl Missing. I read the article, until the name was listed, Ally Clark. I gasped. Ally? I just saw her yesterday. Could it be this mysterious boy she was talking about? I read more, but only saw where she was last seen, right here in this gas station. Where could have she headed? I dropped the newspaper in my hands, and I knew where. Rite Forest. That’s where we always went together, to think things out. I left the station and headed that way.

I walked into the dark forest. Luckiely,  I brought a flashlight. First, I went where we last went to. By the bush. When I got there, nothing. I walked toward the tree, that Ally called “The Deformed Tree.” On the way there, I started hearing something. I can’t really discribe what I heard. But I heard something. As I walked closer, I could hear a moaning. Then I flashed the light toward the tree and then gasped.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lucas~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I still didn’t regret what I showed Audrey. She deserved to know. What a little murder… not really a murderer but a reckless driver he was. I guess he did it on purpose, but no one really knows. I left her house, with her crying hard on the floor, I wanted so despertly to go and cradle her. She just told me to leave. I didn’t exactly leave when she told me so. I stood by the door, till I heard Audrey stop crying, and when she went upstairs.

I walked my way home. Till I saw Audrey walking out from the gas station later. I couldn’t help myself, but follow her. You know.. to protect her. She walked on and on, till she turned into the forest. I lost her after a while, but I still walked on and on. Till I found myself lost. I looked at the sky, no hope, blocked by trees. I looked everywhere, and no source of light. I went back, and on the way there I tripped on a branch. Right when I landed on the ground, I heard a loud “Snap!” Crap, I thought. Not now. I tried to stand up, but failed. Then I heard a tree stick snapped,and I looked where it came from. Then I heard a loud “Bang!” And I went black.

 

Crushed:Chapter 9- Lost

*Since now school started now…. I’ll be only posting chapters once a week. Cause… 1) Homework is Homework.. and homework never seems to agree with me.. so that takes me forever.. 2) Tests… Projects.. hate me… so that also affects my time to write.. 3) The last and I think awesome-ist idea.. is to make it more INTENSE! xD  I’ll still be on to see comments, other blogs.. etc.. (This time its a confirmation). k, Thanks! ~~~~faithway12~~~~~~*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ally~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I ran. I ran till I was out of breath. I didn’t know where I was headed. I just tried to get out of that place. I just hated what I did to Audrey. Why I did it? ‘Cause I had to… to protect her. I felt I had to seperate from her. I guess it would be for the best. I hope I didn’t give to much information to Audrey… to know who I kissed. It was one accidental kiss. We had a moment, and I totally had a crush on him. I could tell he didn’t like me back.. ’cause he didn’t kiss me back. If I told Audrey who it was… then she would hate me forever.

I walked into a old gas-station and luckiely I had some spare change with me, to buy a drink. When I walked in, I hurried to get of there. Too many memories. Many bad memories. I got a small coke, and paid. I left until I walked into a person entering. “Hey, watch it-” Then he got a good look of me. “Oh, I’m sorry.” Did he have to be here at this time? Must I always have bad timing? “Um.. Hi.” We had a awkard silence, and I told him I had to go, and I left. I went toward the city. Not caring enough to go home. Not anymore. I couldn’t face him anymore. I left Lucas.. and just ran.

I made it, to where I thought it would be safe. Safe from Lucas, safe from bad.. horrible memories, and safe from Audrey’s hurt face. I sat in the woods, nature surrounded me. I toke a pen from my bag, and wrote in my dairy:

Dear Diary:

I’m lost. I’m lost…. I don’t know what to do. Things aren’t right for me. Why me? Why did I make that stupid move and put Audrey in danger. I don’t know how much in danger she is.. but I know she isn’t safe. Thanks to me. I thought if I ran away, he wouldn’t bother her. I’ll tell you everything, diary. I was at a cafe, alone. I was reading… and when I heard a seat moved to my side, I looked up from my book, and saw Will. I was at first confused at why he would sit next to me, for one, I was a nobody to him and two… I thought he had a girl-friend…. Audrey. ”Hi… Ally, right?” I nodded. “Can I ask you something?” I bookmarked my page, and closed the book. “Sure.” He opened his mouth and closed it. “You know what… never mind. But thanks anyway.” He looked at, diary, like he was trying to get to my soul. I toke that chance, and I went for the kiss. At first he didn’t react, then until sense got into him he slowly away. “Ally… Why did you do that? You know I’m your best-friend’s boyfriend!” He stood up and left.  I can’t be seen by anyone. No one. Oh, diary, Please help me. I’m so confused. Why couldn’t I- A tree snapped, and footsteps came toward me. Oh no… who is it? I went to hide behind the bush that was behind me… but when I moved a stick snapped. “Ally? I know you’re here. I saw you.” I was scared… what if he wanted revenge? Will came to the tree where I was, and didn’t see me, and he walked on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Audrey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Who are you?” I asked the hooded stranger in my kitchen. The stranger came closer to me, unmasking himself. It was Lucas. Lucas was this person at my school.. who was basically a loser. From what I heard… his mom was cancer and is dying.. and his dad…. i don’t know. “Lucas? What are you doing? And first of all.. how did you enter?” He pulled something out of his pocket, a folder. “This folder reveals Will. Read it now.” He didn’t answer any of my questions.. so I toke the folders from him. It read:

Will Wellingham guilty for mudering, Bree Walker.

Will Wellingham guilty for murdering, Daisy Walker.

Will Wellingham guilty for mudering, Hunter Davis

Case Summary: —–

I stopped there. I couldn’t read anymore. I hated Lucas for showing me this. He could have just typed it himself. I looked at him. “Lucas. Get. Out. Now. Before I kill you. NOW!” He left with no hesitation.

I started crying, crying so hard I fell unto the floor in the kitchen.

 

Crushed- Chapter 8: Questions

Till the time is right…. “Ally, what do you mean by right time? Why can’t I know?” She stood, and for once her face looked evil. “If you knew NOW, you would be gone. Trust me.” And she left.

I still sat there, stunned at what happened. The day started out perfect, now this. I felt like I lost a friend. A dear friend. I told her who was my boyfriend, the second it was confirmed. Why must she hide it? Will it hurt me? Physically or Mentally?I didn’t realize how much time passed till I heard the door open. “Audrey? You there?” I recognized Will’s voice, but I didn’t move. I guess he saw me on the couch bundled up in a ball. He said no more and sat next to me, letting me cry on his shoulder. Tiredness overwhelmed me, and I closed my eyes.

I woke up the next morning on my bed. I looked toward my night table, and saw a note there. “Audrey, Everything is ok. You have me here. Call me when you can. Love you, Will.” I looked at the clock and it read 9 a.m.. It was too early to call him, so I went downstairs to make breakfast, and found a other note attached on the refrigator. “You know for a straight-A student you’re pretty stupid. Don’t believe him. Trust me… don‘t.” ” “Don’t Audrey, or you’re in for heartbreak.” I looked behind me, and screamed.

Crushed- Chapter 7: Secrets

I woke up to my dad leaving for work. It’s Saturday… I thought he didn’t work on Saturdays… weird.I didn’t move out of bed immediately. I just laid there, just being lazy. I thought back to the first day I saw Will. A lot has happened… and now I’m in love with him… things change right?

Just then, the phone rang. I looked at my clock, 9:01 A.M.. Who calls this early? I ran downstairs just barely making it to the last ring. “Hello” I heard some breathing in the background. “Audrey? Is that you?” I recognized the voice right when I heard it. Ollie. “OLLIE! I’ve missed you!” I heard her laugh. I have always loved her laugh. “I’ve missed you to. How are you?” I went on and on about Will, Ollie seemed really happy for me. I told her EVERYTHING. “Audrey, he sounds like a fine man, but just be careful. You never know.” I rolled my eyes. “Ollie. We’ll never go that FAR. I know he will never to do that to me. I trust him.” Then the phone started cracking. “Ollie? Ollie? Are you still there?” Then I heard the phone disconnect, and I hanged up.

I decided to have Ally over today. I called her, and she came. Rather fast, I must say. She says she was bored. When I opened the door, and she had a big smile on her face. “Ok, Ally. What’s with that smile? Met a guy?” She nodded, and headed toward the living room. She patted the seat next to her. “Ok, tell me everything.” She brushed her hair to the side, and toke a deep breath. “Ok, he’s a brunette, has abs, and must I say… a six-pack! He’s H-O-T HOT! Blue eyes, and is really a gentleman.” She seemed to be daydreaming, about this mysterious guy. “Ok, do I know him?” I could have sworn she froze. “Um….. kinda. I think so. Yea, you do. But his name will stay unknown for now. Till the time is right.“

Crushed: Chapter 6- Lovers

Will called me today… asking me on a date. I told him a quick “Yes”, and he told me “See you at 8.” Just after school ended today, I rushed to the mall, to see what I could wear to the “date”. I found this little store inside the mall that had the most prettiest dress, and I had to buy it. It was $132. I toke all my cash out, to find only I had the exact amount of money. Its worth it. I toke the dress and paid for it, and left.

I got home, and immediately hit the shower. I have to look my best, I thought. I let my hair dry, and tried my dress on. I looked really skinny in it. I loved it. I smiled to myself, today might be one of the best days of my life. My hair by this time was dried up, and went to do my hair. I straightened it, with curled the ends. I applied make-up, and went to look at the mirror. I didn’t recognize who it was. At first I thought it was a stranger. It still me,  I’m just hiding behind the make-up.

I heard a car drive to the driveway later. I ran downstairs and waited by the door, waiting for Will. Just after a minute went by, the doorbell rang. I opened the door, to see Will. He looked different. A good different. He wore a blue shirt. that showed his biceps, and long black pants. “You know, Audrey, you look very pretty.” I blushed. “Thanks. And you look very handsome.” I grabbed my purse, which was hanging by the door, and stepped outside. I saw a taxi waiting outside. “Are we taking the taxi?” I couldn’t see his face, since it was already dark, but I could feel him fidget. “Yea.” I could hear some sadness and stress in his voice.

We went to a small restaurant, about half an hour away from my house. It was pretty fancy, but not over the top fancy. But it was pricey. I thought it was nice of Will that he offered to pay the food, for me to pay the taxi. It was a fair deal, cause I got the lower prices. We ate, and we danced, and we talked. I would say my favorite part of the date was the dance. It was pretty romantic. We waltzed, and got close to each other. Oh, and we kissed. Again, and again.

We were sitting at our table, when I heard a familiar voice. “Audrey! Hi!” I looked back to see Ally coming to me. I bet she saw my puzzled face when she said, “I’m here to celebrate my brother’s birthday.” “Oh. I see.” She smiled. Then she peeked behind me to see Will. “Hi Will.” He looked a little uncomfortable, but he managed a simple “Hi.’ Ally looked confused, and faced me, “Well I got to go, until my mom finds me here. Bye.” She walked off to the other side of the resturant. I faced Will, and asked, “What was that, Will?” He coughed, “Nothing. Sorry if I was rude.” I squezzed his hand, “Its ok.” Will looked at my eyes and said, “I love you, Audrey. You know that right?” I felt a tear come down my face. “Yes I do know that. I love you too.” And we kissed.

I arrived home, about a hour later. I walked to the kitchen to put my purse on the table. I saw my dad at the table reading the newspaper, with a candle. The room was dark, no lights turned on. He looked up, and looked at my dress with a strange look. “Wow Audrey, you look very beautiful in that dress. How much was it?” It kinda weirded my out when my dad asked that. “Around one thirdy.” He shifted his hand, and put the newspaper down. “Audrey, we got to hanndle the money spending ok? No more expensive clothing.” I sat down next to him, and scooted next to him, “Dad, is something wrong.” He gave a sigh, “Not yet, but I’ll handle everything. Dont worry.” He stood up and went to his office, and closed the door.

I’m not dead.

Hey people… Yes.. I’m not dead.

Sorry I havent posted a new chapter.. and I’m working on it.. it should be out later today.. or early tomorrow.

Thanks for the patience.

Crushed:Chapter 5- Stress

Just when Will left, I called Ally. She picked up on the second ring and answered, “Ok, what happened?” I told her everything, to when he said I had a beautiful body to the kiss. She listened the whole time, that’s what I love about her, she’s a good listener. After finishing my story, she said, “Wow. And I thought I had a good night.” That made me laugh, and Ally laughed in response. “Oh, Audrey. I got to go, homework.” That reminded me that I didn’t finish mine etheir. “Oh ok, see you tommorow.” “K, see you.” I headed to my room for the night.

I woke up to a car beeping outside, and I looked at my nighttable, it read 8:00 a.m.. Oh God, I’m late. I ran to the bathroom to wash my face, and get dressed. I ran downstairs, grabbed my an apple, and my bookbag and rushed to Ally. “Ok, explain to me what toke you too long.” She looked mad and annoyed. “Sorry, I fell asleep really late yesterday studying and doing homework.” She was quiet for the rest of the ride.

Today I had two exams, literature and history and Will was in both classes with me. When I entered literature, Will had a seat opened for me, in front of him. “Hi Audrey.” “Hi Will, thanks for saving a seat.” He shrugged, “No problem.” Just then Mrs. Palvrez walked in, “Everyone take out your homework from last night, and hand it up.” I opened my binder and couldn’t find it. I swear I put it there. I looked through my whole binder, and I couldn’t find. I swear I did it before Will came- “Mrs. Reed, got a problem?” I looked up from my binder, finding everyone looking at me. “Just can’t find my assignment.” She looked surprised, knowing that her “A-student” wouldn’t ever forget her homework. “You better bring it tommorow, but remember twenty points are taken off each day its late.” I nodded, “I know, ma’m.”

We were just about to start our exam, when Will whispered, “Move a little to the right.” “Why?” He moved closer, “Just do it.” I did so, and moved a little to the right. “Thanks.” I never responded back.

Overall, today has been a bad day… no a horrible day. What confused me though, was how my paper dissapeared. I swear I put it in my book, before Will arrived. Then we used the book to study for a bit, then I left it on top of the table. Then where did I put it? I’ll just have to re-do it.
