Finding out the News

I woke up and felt a blanket on top of me. It was soft. I sat up and looked outside. The sun looked like it was setting. 

   ' There goes my weekend. Tomorrow we have school. '

I stood up from the bed and walked to the door. I opened it and peeked outside the room. I saw no one in the hallway. It was empty. I stepped outside the room and walked towards the stairs. I walked down them and towards the front door. I opened it and started on my way home. It didn't take long and once I got there I opened my door and locked it.

   ' Now to do something to stay up for a little longer. '

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed James' mothers' number.

   " Hello? "

   " Hi. This is Y/n. I was wondering how James was doing. "

   " Y/n? James is dead. He died earlier today. We don't know how, but he died. We think someone pulled his plug. "

   " What? "

   " Yeah. Someone pulled his plug. We don't know who yet. The video footage was deleted or stolen from the security cameras. "

   " Oh my god. "

I hung up the phone and set it on my table. I stumbled to my couch and collapsed. The tears came and never left. They continued and continued to come. I didn't get any sleep that night. I couldn't. When I checked the time I realized that I needed to get ready for school. I walked to my room and showered. I put my uniform on and grabbed my backpack.

   ' Just get through the day. Just get through the day. '

   " Y/n! "

I looked behind me and saw Akane and Miro running towards me. I waved at them as they got closer.

   " Hey, guys. Sorry. I'm not in the mood today. "

   " Oh. Why? What happened? " Miro asked.

   " James died. Yesterday. Someone pulled his plug and stole the camera footage. "

   " Oh. I'm sorry. " Akane said.

   " Me too. " Miro said with her smile fading.

   " Don't apologize. Let's just go to school. "

   " Okay. "

It was silent all the way to school. I didn't say a thing. I was too stuck in my mind to say or do anything. It wasn't until we got to class they said something. 

   " Oliver was asking about you. "

   " What did he say? "

   " He asked where you went. He said you were at his house and he said you left without telling him. He was worried. " Akane said.

   " Oh. "

   " Yeah. He said he was worried about you. " 

   " I see. "

   " He's been talking about you a lot Y/n. " Miro said with venom in her voice.

I looked back at her. Her eyes showed anger. I was already done with this petty fight and it just started.

   " Miro I don't want to have this little petty fight. I'm just his friend that's all we are. He was just being nice. I was torn up yesterday. He took me to his place to rest, and I left without telling anyone. It's not my fault he's worried. "

The anger in her eyes left, but I could still see a glimpse of it in her eyes.

   " Go after him if you want, and if you would get your head out of your imagination to see how broken I am without James then I don't know what to tell you. Do you really think I'm the type of person to date someone after her fiance, who loved him for 3 years, died and start dating again? "

The anger left her eyes completely and I turned around in my seat. They left and started walking towards there class and I stared at my desk. 

   " Hey, Y/n. "

I looked and saw Oliver sitting at his desk. I waved to him and looked back down at my desk.

   " Y/n? "

   " What is it, Oliver? "

   " What's wrong? "

   " James died yesterday. Someone pulled his plug and took the security footage. "

   " Oh my god really? "

   " Yeah. "

   " I'm so sorry Y/n. "

I looked at him and saw nothing in his eyes. I turned my head back towards the front and stared at the blackboard at the front. The bell rang signaling that class was starting.

   " Thanks, Oliver, but I don't need apologies. "

   " Are you sure? "

   " I just want James back. "

   ' That's all I want. '

I looked at the board as the teacher taught the class. I could barely focus on the work. My mind was away and not focusing on anything. Before I knew it the bell rang for the students to get to the next class. I stood up and started walking out of the classroom. I walked to my locker and then towards my class. I took my seat beside Akane, Miro, and Oliver. They all looked at me with concern, but Miro went on ahead and talked to Oliver.

   ' She must really like him to think I would steal him after my fiance died. '

I looked over at them and saw Akane's glare at Miro.

   ' Akane to. I might lose both of them if I don't choose my words carefully about Oliver. They shouldn't think I have any feelings for him though, cause I don't. If Oliver has any for me then I'm not going to return them. I can't James was my one true love. No one will be able to replace him. '

I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. I wiped it away and got prepared to lay my head down for the movie the teacher would surely play. I need rest for at least an hour.
