All We Need Of Hell (Lynn Gunn)

Where'd You Go | Chapter 6

"Your late. Lynn?? Why are you in Detention? " The teacher Miss Smith the art teacher asked me. I guess shes staying after school for Detention today. "I was checking the time on my phone and got caught, even though I swear there was about 4 others who'd been on there phone all of class." I said taking a seat in front by her desk.

Usually I would've sat in the back or by the door but miss Smith has to be my favourite teacher here. She's cool and in art class she's not afraid to show a new technique and she let's me do things in my style. "Lynn. What are you doing in here?" I looked to the door and saw Alexa. She walked over to me and sat in the seat next to me.

"I used my phone in class. You?" I asked. "I glued my math teachers drawers shut." My eyes widened a bit but I wasn't surprised. I gave my head a little nod and we fell into an awkward silence. My eyes shifted back over to the desk and I looked at all the words carved into the desk. Words like 'love' and I looked a bit closer and I saw Jennas name.

I ran my fingers over it and looked at Alexa. "Um have you seen Jenna around?" She looked kinda taken aback but then shook her head. "It's just none of us have heard from her." I said looking back at her name. "I could help you look for her." My head shot over at Alexa. "Don't you kinda hate me." I said with a light chuckle. "Well kinda not anymore." She said returning a Lil chuckle.

I don't know how long we sat there but for the most part we just sat in silence. "Okay guys you go leave. And Lynn I don't want to see you here again." Miss Smith said giving me a wave Goodbye. I got up and was about to leave when Alexa grabbed me. "Um are you doing anything today?" She asked me. I thought about it for awhile then remembered my plans with Brian and Alex.

"I am actually. Um Brian invited me to hang out with them today." I said. I felt bad but I don't know why I did. Me and Alexa aren't exactly friends but I did feel bad when I saw her facial expression. "Oh. It's cool." She said walking towards the door. "Hey!" I said stopping her. I ran up to her. "Maybe tomorrow or Friday." I said. She smiled and nodded.

I was about to continue when I saw Alexa and Brian walking up to me. Ajexa said bye and left. "Your friends with Alexa? Didn't you spill coffee or singing on her." Brian said. "No..I mean yeah..no...I don't know what we are. I think she's trying to be my friend." I said walking out of the school with them.

We walked to what I'm assuming was Brians car cause Alex was in the front seat. "Okay, Lynn have you ever been to have you ever been to Sandra?" Brian asked me. "Sandra? Uhh no." I say. I really didn't know what he was talking about. "Sandra is this coffee shop. They make the best coffees in this side of Boston." He said getting all excited. I nodded my head and we drove off. We drove up to the little joint and it looked soo homey and comfy.

I was taking my seat belt off when I saw blonde hair walk into the shop. I tossed my belt off and ran inside as quick as I could. I saw no one but the bathroom door was closing so I went to check in there. No one. I looked at myself in the mirror and shook my head. I'm probably just seeing things again. I'm seeing things again, oh God why. The last time this happened I was in therapy for awhile and on pills. This was after my girlfriend...yeah.

I splashed my face with some water and walked out. I bumped into Alex and Brian. Crap. "I uhh had a wedgie." I mentally slapped myself. "Uhh okay. So try there mocha coffee with caramel. It's to die for." Brian said. I nodded my head and we all ordered. I sat opposite to them at a booth. "So how long have you guys been friends?" I asked. "About 8 years." Alex replied. Hola that's long.

I was about to go on with the conversation bur something about Alex looked so familiar. "Did you used to go to Caros." I asked him. It was a joint me and my old band used to play at all the time. He nodded his head. "It was you! You used to make fun of me all the time haha." I said finally recognizing why he looked so familiar. "Well you guys weren't that bad honestly." He said laughing afterwards. "You used to be in a band?" Brian asked. I nodded my head. "I was vocals alongside our lead vocalist." I said he nodded his head. "Alex can play Bass and piano good and I can play guitar and piano too." Brian said taking a sip of his drink.

I saw the blonde girl again bur instead if running after her I ignored her. "I can play guitar pretty well myself." I told them trying to keep my mind off her.

The night went pretty uneventful. The boys drove me home and I agreed to hang out with them at school. When I got home I went to go see my mom. I found her in the laundry room folding clothes. "Mom." "What is it dear." She said folding a red shirt. "I..I'm seeing things again." I said. My mom stopped dead in her tracks and looked to me. "Oh sweetie. We'll see if we can get you back on those pills." She said giving me a hug.

I pulled away. "I don't want pills. We can't afford it. I don't need to be something that just wastes money on. A therapist again!? No. No more. I just thought you should know." I said walking away and up to my room. I sat on my bed and screamed into my pillow. I sat up and I saw blonde hair at my window. I sighed. It's not real. I repeated over and over till I heard a knock at my window. I walked over and the blonde girl was still there. I opened it. It's not real. I repeated over and over till I saw her. "Jenna?"
