Chapter 31:\ Earnestly

Ernest

Two months ago…

I walked through the empty campus, the lights were dimmed just enough for people to know this was a school, but that it was closed. I walked around the empty halls, making sure the janitorial staff was on duty at this hour.

Midnight-oh-five. I chuckled at my clever thoughts as a loud sound erupted across the hallway.

"Get off me! Please!" I heard a female voice shout as I rushed over to the room where the sound was coming from. “Stop! You’re hurting me! Please!”

I heard her scream loudly once again. I rushed from hallway to hallway, trying to figure out which room the loud sobs and screams were coming from. Suddenly, all the sounds ceased as silence retook the hallways. I hoped the girl was okay. I looked around and heard sobbing.

Where was the room?! I glared at the clock on the wall. This much noise in the middle of the night was ridiculous. I was annoyed and worried all at once.

"Hello?" I called out.

The noise stopped again. It might've been Mr. Andrews classroom. It was the only classroom with the lights turned on. I quickly opened the door to find a girl sobbing in the corner, her head resting on her knees as her entire body was shaking.

"Excuse me, miss? Are you okay?" The thin, pale girl with her dark brown hair looked up at me.

"I don't know what I'm going to do," she said through heaving breaths, tears streaming down her cheeks. My heart broke just looking at her, she looked so fragile and in pain, her nose had turned pink from the sobbing as tears dropped down her chin.

"What happened? I heard screams." I said, looking for evidence of anything painful. I saw a few spots of blood on the desk and questioningly looked at her.

"He… hurt me." She whispered, barely audible as she started to cry louder this time. I hadn't realized the impact of her words, it felt like I was being jabbed in the heart. “I didn’t want it; I didn’t ask for any of this to happen.” She whispered through heaving breaths; her sobs grew louder by the second.

"Who?"

"My boyfriend." She whispered as her face suddenly went blank. She looked as though she had stopped feeling feelings and that scared me more than her tears.

"What were you two doing at the school in the middle of the night?" I asked, trying to wrap my head around the situation. The poor, young lady didn’t deserve what happened to her.

"He said he wanted to study for our test tomorrow. He picked me up. I thought I could trust him." She said, blankly as tears continued racing down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you." I said, approaching her as she held her hand up to stop me.

"Please don't come closer." She said as I halted in my tracks.

"What's your name? What's his name? Perhaps I can help you file a police report."

"No, please, no, my mom can't find out about this." She said blandly.
