Behind you #Wattys2014

Chapter twelve

"What do you mean we're not allowed to go see her!?" I scream, I don't wait for Mom's answer, and run upstairs.

This is not right. Alicia is going to stay in the hospital for three weeks, and I cannot go check on her? To at least make sure that she's breathing!? There's only one good thing in my life so far. Cole moved out, and as much as I love my brother, I don't want him getting more and more suspicious about my "secret." When we were little, he was always the brave one, so if I can get in that room every night to check on the bodies (make sure that they don't move,)  then I'm pretty sure, he probably has the thought of sneaking into that room, while I'm asleep. Another good thing about him moving out is that Kimberly won't be coming to visit, aka bother me, any time soon.

It's been only five days without seeing Alicia, and it's torture, believe me. Mom and I are the only ones home, and she keeps on apologizing about that night, which just makes me feel awkward.

It's 1 AM, I'm so wide awake, in two days, I'll be starting senior year at school. Alicia is going to be missing a lot of the beginning of school, because of that stupid Rohypnol guy. Yesterday, a bunch of polices came to our house, and asked for me. I thought I was doomed, for no apparent reason, I guess. But all they wanted to know was information about that guy, since Mom claimed that I was they only who even saw him that night.

"How did he look like?" They asked.

"He looked dangerous." I answered.

"Physical features, Miss."

"Well fine, let's see. He had black hair, blue or green eyes, pointy nose, uh, I guess that's it." I was pretty embarrassed since I just woke up and changed, my hair was tangled and uncombed, I didn't even brush my teeth yet.

"Age?" One of the women took out a notepad and wrote down everything I told them.

"Teenage?" I try.

"Did he do anything to you?"

"He pinched me.... on the hip." I said.

"Well, Miss. McAllister, did you see him put drugs in your sister's drink?"

"I'm positive."

"Do you know his purpose?"

"Of course not, I'm not him. And I'm not a mind reader."

"Where was it?"

"I don't know, my mother drove us there." I shrug. Mom steps forward and started sharing the address of Kimberly's wedding. 

They left shortly and I ran into the upstairs bathroom to brush my teeth.

I sigh. It's 3 AM now. I can't stop thinking about Alicia. A white light flashes, I look at the open doorway of my room, and shiver. There's a shadow. My door closes by itself, and locks.

"Hey Molly, you really want to see Alicia?" This is not Eleanor.

"Of course, and who are you?"

"Guess."

"Shane."

"Wrong."

"You're lying." I roll my eyes.

"Keep guessing."

"Shut up." I close my eyes.

"Fine, I give in, wanna go sneak into the hospital together?"

"No- I mean yes."

Then come on."

"How?" I say, translating to I don't trust you.
