Sunrise

The sun is gone

The clouds are dark

I am sitting here alone

With you on my mind

Those are the words I wrote him, when I thought he liked me back. We spent a lot of time together. We were like siblings, but I guess I fell for him. He was a the type of guy who likes to read books, never says no and is popular in school.

Me? I am a big introvert, who likes to spend a lot of her time by the beach, writing her poems about life. I am not the popular girl, I am quiet the opposite. I smile by day, but listen depressed songs by evening. People think they know me, when in reality the only one who knows me is the boy I fell for - Alexander. My name is Collette aka Coco.

As I told you, we are like siblings. We live next to each other. He has a lot of friends and he has invited me a lot of times to party with them, but I don’t want to. First and only time I did that, it didn’t end well. I got drunk... really drunk, I am glad that Izzy was there. She prevented the mess that I was about to do.

Izzy is Isabella, Alexander’s twin sister. We are best friends. She hates Alexander for some reason, so it is a little bit awkward when the three of us hung out.

I am 17 and he is 18. Now it has been two weeks we haven’t talked to each other. Izzy told me that he has changed a lot. I don’t know what the deal is with him. Ever since I wrote him the letter he has not been himself. Those 4 lines are just a small part of the letter.

-When are you going to talk?- Izzy suddenly wakes me from my daydream.

-Don’t you think it’s time you both talk?-

-No.

-What’s the deal with you both. I mean yes, you have all the rights to hate him, but I am the one who is mad on him not you. You have been friends for...A LONG TIME. Don’t y..-

-I have to go. I have stuff to do. See you tomorrow?-

-Sure-

I was about to open the doors of their house, but then Alexander came in looking mad about something. He saw me standing in front of him and his face changed from mad to confusing. As if he didn’t know me. I didn’t want to talk to him, so I went by him, before he could say anything. He turned around, but I shut the door and went to my house really fast. I didn’t hear the doors opening, but I knew he was there - looking at me.

I was doing nothing. I lied to Izzy, because I didn’t want to talk about Alexander.I was just sleeping in my bed thinking what I would wear tomorrow.

Anyways, it was 20 minutes past midnight. I was about to go to sleep, when I got a message from unknown number.

-Meet me by the lake in 30 minutes-

I thought it was some kind of prank, so I decided to ignore it and go to sleep. I tried to fall asleep, but I couldn’t. I looked at time. I had 10 minutes left. My parents were sleeping, so I decided to go see. I won’t die right? Well, probably. I got dressed and left the house through my window. Unluckily my window is just in front of Alexander’s. I hope he didn’t see me. That’s what I thought that moment. I didn’t care if my parents caught me or if I was about to get killed tonight. I was thinking about him. How typical from me.

To get to the lake I have to get through woods. Yeah, I am getting killed tonight. I look at the time, I am 5 minutes left and I get another message.

-I give you 10 more minutes-

I will be there in 5 - I think to myself. I am in woods and I feel someone watching me. I started to walk faster and suddenly I am by the lake. I saw a silhouette. I couldn't tell who it was, but it looked kinda familiar. And I could feel those eyes. I looked back and froze. I knew who was following me and when I wanted to talk to that person, the dark silhouette walked to me.

That moment I was about to faint. I couldn't believe who I saw that moment. I was happy, but like REALLY angry.

-The f* you doing here?- I said
