Chapter Three: You're right, It's Not The Knots
Shit. Shit. Shit.
I am definitely dead. I am so dead tonight- well morning.
I stood up with my broken blanket rope in my hand and rubbed my ass because it was throbbing. I ran to the window and saw the dude laying on the ground.
"Hey-" I staged whispered to him,
"-dude are you okay? "
He didn't respond or move. I couldn't even see his chest rising and falling.
"Oh my God, I killed a person I was supposed to help, " I mumbled to myself looking at the lifeless body in my back yard.
"Please tell me you're alive, please, " I said leaning out of the window and looking down.
I walked away from the window back inside my room pacing around. What am I supposed to do? He was probably dead from the fall! Even if he was not dead, I'd be dead if I went down. He said he would kill me! And if he is really dead, where the hell am I supposed to hide the body? How the heck am I supposed to explain this to the judge?
Excuse me your honor, but this was an accident. He fell because the blanket tore!
Yeah, sure that'll totally help!
I kept pacing around my room and then I got an idea. I walked over to my closet and grabbed the left side of one of my blue sneakers. If he really is dead, he won't make a move, I thought walking back to the window and pushing my head out looking at him. His hoodie remained on his head, but his blonde curls fell over his face. I couldn't help but stare at him. His jawline was so defined. His eye lashes; so long and dark. Eyebrows, man the eyebrows. Why do boys have thicker eyebrows? Don't get me started with the lips. I tilted my head and looked at him from the distance up in my two story room. His lips. They were so-
"What the heck am I doing! " I asked myself and shook my head. "Stop checking out a dead guy. Well, I don't really know. We'll see! Okay dude, prepare for impact!"
I gave my sneaker a good kiss and aimed for his forehead that his blonde hair was covering and threw my shoe with all my might. It hit him with a thud, trust me I heard it. It was like a coconut, and he moved! He freaking moved! I cannot express how much relief that is. He's alive! I'm not a murderer! Oh no, he's alive. I am so dead!
He got a shock and sat up instantly, "What the hell woman?" he asked holding the shoe and rubbing his forehead.
"You're alive, " I said letting out a satisfying sigh.
"I'm alive? " he asked looking at me, "I'm alive, " he repeated letting out a satisfying sigh running his hands over his body and face. Silence fell between us and then his expression changed.
"You said you tied knots like the navy! " he said standing up with my sneakers on his hand gripping unto it.
I gave a light chuckle, "Well, I do tie knots like the navy, it's just I forgot to mention that I was a navy in training, but I tie knots tight, I swear. "
He spread out his arms out in a questioning motion, again, I couldn't help but notice his muscles. "Yeah sure, you tie knots so tight, they can hold almost anyone," he rolled his hazel eyes.
"It wasn't my knots! I tie perfect knots! " I said back.
"You're right, it's not the knots, " he shrugged, "It's you! "
I huffed, "Excuse me? The blanket tore! It wasn't me! "
"Sure blame it on the blanket," he huffed.
"Are you trying to say it's my fault?" I asked in disbelief.
"Sweetheart, I never tried to say it was your fault, I already said it was your fault! You heard me. I said it's you!"
"Me?"
What does knot tying possibly have to do with me! I mean I get that I tied the knots but I don't get it!
"Yes you, " he shrugged, "If you weren't so weak the sheets would never have slipped and I would never have fallen and almost died! "
"Excuse me! Not all people are strong okay? I tried to help, the least I could get is a- " I said looking down at him. I wanted to throw my other pair of shoe at him!
"What? " he asked.
"A thank you. Jesus!"
"Thank you Jesus? " he asked looking confused. "What do you want me to do? Thank Jesus for saving my life because some chick almost killed me? "
"I said a thank you! What the hell happened? What, you bumped your head too strong it affected your ear drums? "
"I am not deaf! "
"I can't believe I gave up my blankets for a guy I helped that didn't even bother to say one single thank you! "
"I didn't tell you to use all your blankets! "
"You said you needed help! One thing about me, is that I help people who needs help even if it means giving all my blankets!"
"Well you totally wasted it and it's your loss because I'm not going to be the one sleeping without any sheets tonight. So it's your own fault! "
Now we started yelling at each other at 3 in the morning!
"What? I -"
"It's not my fault you tie lousy knots! " he yelled cutting me off.
"I tie perfect knots! " I snapped back.
"Sure, perfect enough to kill someone from a feet drop! "
I rolled my eyes, "But you didn't die. Stop overreacting!"
"You know what? You're impossible! "
"Glad to be!" he started walking away, "In fact you know what? I hope they catch your ass and throw you jail! " I yelled after him but he kept walking.
"Page! "
I got a shock and turned around to find my dad standing at my room door. His eyes were still sleepy and he looked horrible like a hyena attacked him. Dang, his hyena jokes are rubbing off on me.
"Hey dad. Morning! " I said slightly shocked but replaced it with a nervous smile. "What's up? "
"Why are you yelling at yourself? " he said looking at me.
"Oh no, I wasn't yelling at myself. I was talking to-" I turned to the window to look down and point out the guy but he vanished. "Where the heck did he go? " I whispered to myself.
"To who? " my dad pressed looking at me. He must think I'm some crazy idiot yelling at myself at three in the morning. Great Page, just great.
"Well ah- you see. I was actually helping this guy, " I chuckled nervously.
"And where is he? "
"Well that's actually the funny part, you see, he um.. Up and left before you came, " I said looking at my dad.
He stayed silent for a second looking at me with worried eyes. Now my dad's going to think I need medical help!
Wait for it.
"Page honey, are you okay? "
There it is!
I let out a sigh, "I'm not crazy if that's what you're asking. You know what, I'm tired, I haven't been able to sleep so let's just both get back to sleep and pretend this never happened and pretend that you never found your daughter yelling to herself at three in the morning chow? " I said turning him around and pushing him out of the room.
"Um, I ah-"
"That sounds great! Night dad, I love you. " I said slamming the door in his face, then opened it again, "By the way, you look like a hyenas habitat! "
Slam!
I let out a sigh of relief and leaned against my room door. That was way too close. Then I walked over to the window and looked outside. The guy wasn't there. He definitely left after I dro- I mean after the blanket tore.
I slid down the window and closed the curtain going to my bed next. I let out a long sigh.
The one that says 'I had a really long day and a half' type of sigh. I laid awake looking up at my ceiling. The only thought that was going through my mind was the guy? So many questions. Where did he come from? What or who was he trying to hide from? Does he go to school with me? What does he look like? Even though I saw him, I didn't see him. His hoodie was on the whole time and I only noticed his jaw and his chocolate hazel eyes. His blonde hair covered most of his features. His lips were really pink. To be completely honest, very kissable. And the last question roaming through my mind was who was he?
What was his name?
I turned around and my eyes flattered slowly telling me to sleep that they wanted to sleep. I shifted my weight to my left and made the number four reaching out. I tried and reached out to grab my shelter but then I suddenly remembered.
"Dang, I don't have a blanket! "
Wow, thanks so much for reading the third chapter. I'm sorry if I sound so unprofessional and if there's so many plot holes XD. Big big apologies. Anyway, if there's any spelling errors, grammatical errors, please let me know in the comments so I can go back and make corrections. Yeah, that's basically it. You guys know what to do! :)
God bless and take care
