Save me

Nothing

There is only one happiness in life.
To love, and to be loved.

Sofia's POV

          Looking from a window above the field, I watch closely as all the guys wait outside the school door. I feel the pile of weight slowly growing more and more on my shoulders and chest, my scattered mind never focusing on the small chatter of the last period classroom.
With my whole body turned towards the window, I bite my lip nervously. Not knowing what is to come of the next few minutes.

My gaze never breaks off of the boys as they just stand there emotionless, as if this wasn't a big deal. The guys insisted on a new plan, since they came up with Jace as the possible lead of who it might be. Of coarse I don't actually believe that it's Jace, it's impossible. Sure he probably hates me for hanging out with Sam, but he would never do anything to hurt me. Right?

I can't let myself believe that, Jace and I have been friends for such a long time, so long I-. I pause on my thought "so long I don't remember" I whisper under my breath. For some reason this makes me stop. Making me think of something, but it was only nothing. There was definitely something that I was supposed to...remember? But I just couldn't. How long had me and Jace been friends? I don't remember...

Breaking out of my trance, I take this as an opportunity to see what time it is. Looking back into the classroom, my gaze automatically falls onto the clock. In five minutes Jace will be walking out of those school doors for football practice. The guys will 'discuss' the issue with him, asking him things to see if it really is him, I told them to go easy on him, not to hurt him in any way. I don't think they will listen.
As much as I don't want to believe that Jace really is the person behind my whole trauma and house intrusion, something deep in the pit of my gut is telling me others wise.

Sam had told me to stay in class, not to leave unless him, or one of the guys come to get me. But it seemed as more and more time passes, the harder and harder it's getting to resist my urge not to run down there. I just really want to know if it is Jace or not, and if it is him, why he would ever do something like that to me. It just doesn't seem to add up.

I look back outside just in time to catch Sams gaze. He gives me an unreadable expression, while taking a long drag from his cigarette. I wonder why he smokes? Everyone always has a reason for doing it, weather it's trying to look cool in front of your friends, or all the way to a method to help with stress. I just can't help but assume its because of something that happened, something from a long time ago.

The strong smell of mans cologne fills my nose, breaking me out of my state. A small tap on my shoulder causes me to jump, letting out a small yelp. I quickly whip my head around to see who touched me, only to see Lucas sitting there with a proud smile. "Did I scare you cutie?" He asks sitting beside me.
