Chapter 14: New and Old Friends
You're eyes fluttered open, you were in an unfamiliar house. You sat up, you were on a bed, but it wasn't yours. You looked around, and it was a vintage style bedroom. "Where am I?" You asked, trying to figure out, what happened last night. A knock came upon the door, you jumped from the sudden knock.
There came in a girl with brunette hair, kinda like 2 years younger than you. "Good Morning, Miss." She said, as she placed a tray of fancy stuff. "Where am I?" You asked, dumbfounded. "You're in my home, i saw you passed out on the side of the road, last night. You were covered with bruises, and scars. You were bleeding to death, but luckily we saw you." She explained, as she was pouring tea.
You tried to recall what happened last night.
°•Last Night•°
You drove your motorcycle, under the highway. You stopped, to make a call, to Sue. Then you heard rustling of trash. Dark chuckles, and you could hear stuff splattering. It wasn't blood, it was vodka. You turned around, and saw a man, holding a knife.
"My wife died, because of me, My son died, because of me, my daughter died because of me. All of them died, because of me! I'm a disease to my friends and family! Now, I can kill..." He swung his knife, and aimed it towards you. You weren't able to dodge it, so it cut your shoulder, along with the bag strap. The man laughed maniacally, as you were trying to stop the bleeding.
This went on all night, until 1 AM. You weren't exactly winning, but he left, when he heard a couple of horns. You passed out, as you saw the headlights of the car.
°•Present•°
"So that's what happened..." You said, face palming yourself. The girl handed you some tea, and you thanked her. "What's your name?" She asked. "(Y/N)" you replied. "What a familiar name... My name is Elizabeth. Nice to meet you." She said.
That name sounds familiar....
Elizabeth.... Elizabeth.... Elizabeth Schmidt?
"Don't mind me by asking, but is your last name Schmidt?" You asked, as you sipped on the tea. "Yes. So... You must be (Y/N) (L/N), Mike's ex girlfriend." She said, in a firm tone. You nodded, with an "uhm". She frowned, when she sat next to me. "So... How is he? Is he still a jerk?" She asked.
(A/N: When you first met Elizabeth, she was only 15, and you were 19. So right now in the present, is 5 years later. She's 20, and you're 24. Just so you know!)
You giggled, but frowned after. "Well, I already got over him, but he still hasn't over me. We met again, at work. We were night shifters, with a bunch of other guys, who are really good friends. Then... I went overboard, I went-" you stopped and thought, "I can't tell her that I was possessed! She won't believe me! Think of something else!". "You went what?" She asked, as she fiddled with her thumbs. You were sweating a little until...
"I got drugged!"
You weren't sure that she would believe you, but... She did. "By who?! When?! What was the drug?!" She eagerly asked. "Maybe it was that dude, from last night. I didn't know what it was called, but whenever I get near sharp objects, the drug takes control, and it tries to kill someone... So I decided not to go back... and run away." You lied about the drug, but told the truth about running away. She patted your back, and you turned to her. "I felt your pain too... Did you hear the news about me?" She asked, as you gave out a confused look. She frowned and sighed.
"Well... It happened a few years after you and Mike broke up. Mike starts getting drunk, and how should I say this... Abusive. Every time he would come home, he would end up with hiccups, and getting drunk. He would hit me, and yell at me. Every regret he had, he put it out on me... So... I've had enough... I ran away, and lived here... It was hard to leave him, since Mother and Father passed away, I left him all alone. Everyday, I would pray for you to come back to his life, so he wouldn't be alone... You didn't come back, and he didn't move on. He really is a coward. I don't know what happened next, when I left. I know he lost the house, and went in an apartment. He could have already forgotten about me. I can't explain it... I think I may not be his little sister anymore..." Elizabeth's eyes overflowed with tears, as she cried.
You wrapped your arms around her, to comfort her. "I didn't know, that I caused so many trouble to you, when I left Mike. I had to, he cheated on me... But... I moved on, I'm sorry he took out all his depression on you, it was supposed to be on me. I'm sorry..." You said, as Elizabeth cried on your chest, and hugged back.
A few moments of crying, you both calmed down. "Okay, It's almost time for lunch, join us " Elizabeth said, as she fixed the tray, and went downstairs. You noticed that you were still in your clothing from yesterday, you sighed. "Might as well take a bath later..." You said, as you tied your hair into a ponytail. You went downstairs, and noticed two other guys. One kinda had a punk-ish look, while the other one had tattoos on his arms. "Be nice to our guest, boys." Elizabeth said to the guys sitting on the table.
You waved and smiled at them. You got a little scared by the one with tattoos, since his eyes were black with white pupils. "Hi, my name is Richard." The man with tattoos said. "Hello, I'm (Y/N)..." You said, as you waved. "My name is Chris. So you're an old friend of Lizzy?" The punk-ish man asked. "Lizzy? You mean Elizabeth?" You asked them, as they both let out a giggle. "That's what they call me, and it pisses me off..." Elizabeth said, as she was placing the food on the table.
"This looks delicious, Elizabeth!" You complimented her. "You know it! Elizabeth's cooking is the best!" Chris exclaimed. We all laughed, as Elizabeth blushed. Richard leaned towards my ear, and whispered, "Elizabeth gets nervous easily~".
Elizabeth heard us, and yelled, "I SO DO NOT!". Richard and Chris chuckled, at Elizabeth's reaction. Elizabeth's lips curved into a grin, and she squinted her eyes. "Well, if you keep teasing me... I'll just take your plates, and give it to the dogs~" Elizabeth grinned evilly, as the two boys got scared, and protected they're food.
"NEVER!!!!!" They both yelled, and hurriedly ate their food.
You and Elizabeth, laughed at their reaction. You could feel something in the three of them. They looked like a family of trust, laughter, forgiveness, and love... You felt all these emotions, when you were with the guys...
You were already with your family...
You didn't realize it, but you were crying tears of joy. The three looked at you. "What's wrong, (Y/N)?" Chris asked, as he patted you on the back. You wiped away your tears, and smiled at them. "I just miss... My Family..." You said, as the tears went rolling down your cheeks.
Chris and Richard, patted your backs. Elizabeth hugged you, as you cry on her chest. "Sshhh.... It's okay..." Elizabeth said, as she rubbed your head.
You pulled away, and said, "I'm fine... I just need to take a bath... To clear my mind". You stood up, and bowed in respect. You went upstairs, and went to the bathroom. You started undressing, and took a bath.
"I wonder how the gang is doing... They must be super worried..."
~Meanwhile at The Gang~
"We're such fools!" Fritz yelled. "Chill, Fritz. We just need to find her. How hard can that be?" Vincent asked, as he opened the TV.
"Breaking News! The Fugitive 18-09.1 has been caught on tape! He has been spot, attacking a woman with (H/C), wearing a red hoodie. He was about to kill the woman, until he ran away, when he heard the honking of a car! The driver went to help her, while the fugitive ran away. The police are on the case, but they still haven't seen the girl, or who the driver was! If anyone lives near this area, I suggest you stay indoors, and lock all the entrances! We will be back, after these messages!" The news reporter said, as they went on commercial.
"Wait... Did he just say, a woman with (H/C), and a red hoodie?"Jeremy asked, as he trembled a little. It was silent for a while, "Y-You don't think that woman was-!" Fritz stuttered. "That may be her... Because there was a motorcycle on the scene. That motorcycle belonged to Sue, so it must have been her, it has to be!" Mike yelled. "Mike calm down, I'm sure she's safe. Let's just hope that we know that person who helped her." Scott prayed.
"Guys, I'm going to look for her. She needs to come home." Mike said, putting on his jacket. Scott placed his hand on Mike's shoulder. "We'll all go. (Y/N) is very special friend to us, and very special to Sue. We'll help you find her..."Scott said, as everyone nodded, except for Vincent who just grinned.
"Thanks guys, me and Fritz will go and check out the scene." Mike said. "Me and Jeremy are going to the park, and see if (Y/N) is there." Scott said. "Well, I've got dibs on (Y/N)'s place..." Vincent smirked, and Mike glared daggers at him.
"Good luck, everyone." Mike said, as everyone nodded, and went out to look for you.
"We Hope You're safe..."
