Lifeline

Chapter 4

The rest of the day was hell. I got pushed around and ignored by people who I thought cared about me. I find Dylan in the hallway so I run up to him. "Dylan what did I do wrong??" I ask in a pleading tone. "You should know what you did now leave me alone. Don't talk to me or Paige and Logan. In fact just leave. No one wants you around." With that he walks away.

No one does want me around. What's the point anymore. I sigh and the bell rings for dismissal. I leave and go to a park. I should just stay here. Dylan probably doesn't want me in the house anymore. I shakily take out my phone and start crying.

Me: is anyone around this area?
I share my location with the chat.

Rae: I'm about 45 minutes away bub

Poki: same honey I'm sorry is everything alright?

Me: No..I don't know what happened my new foster family and my friends hate me I don't know what I did. My foster brother literally just kicked me out of the house..

Sykkuno: what? What about your foster parents?

Me: they will be back in 2 weeks. They are on a business trip.

Corpse: Love I'm sorry this is happening. How about I come pick you up from the park and I can drive us to Rae's place. Then Sykkuno and Poki can come over.

Rae: that's a good idea!

Sykkuno: yeah I like that idea. Plus we can meet Katie in person. It's a win win.

Me: But isn't it out of the way for you Corpse..?

Corpse: In all honesty I was driving out that way because me, Sykkuno, Rae and Poki are all sharing house payments. It's beginning to be too much for me to pay on my own so I'm moving in with those crazies

Rae: Katie if you want to run home and get a bag you can stay with us for a few days.

Me: Are you sure..? I don't want to bother you guys. I mean there are already 4 of you living there.

Poki: Don't be silly Katie. You're more than welcome to stay with us!!

Me: Okay Corpse. I'll be back at the park in 15 minutes. Thanks guys. I'm so thankful to have you all in my life.

I run to my new home and get in. "What are you doing here! I told you to not come here!" "I'm getting my stuff. Don't worry I won't be here long." I say and look him in the eyes.

"W-wait. Were you crying??" "Yes I was now if you'll excuse me I have to get my stuff." I push past him and go up to my room and grab my already packed bag from this morning and my skateboard.

"Katie where are you going to stay??" "At a friends house." I say with no emotion. "Mason said you don't have friends." "Think again.." I tell him and write my YouTube channel down on his hand. "I'll be with them. If you need anything you have my Snapchat. Don't expect me to come back. I'm talking to my social worker later tonight."

I skate back to the park and I see a man with a mask on. I pick up my skateboard and walk over to him. "Katie?" "Corpse?"
