It was the morning of the party, and everyone person of Cambria High School would not stop speaking about it. This quite possibly might be the biggest party of the year, who wouldn't want to go. That morning this party was the talk of the high school, everyone was attending this party, including me. But if I knew about the events that took were going to take place that night, I wouldn’t have gone.
Oh yeah, my name is Areanna Roberts.
I have a best friend, her name is Michelle Jacob, and she has a boyfriend. His name Nicholas Francis, but we call him Nick. I’ve known Nick longer than I have known Michelle. He’s a good kid and treated her right. Well… So I thought.
The three of us are always together in the morning, hanging around near the front of the school before the bell rings for us to go to class. Michelle and Nick are always there before me and I’m the one who meets them. But when I went to meet them that morning, I saw that they were in a huge argument. So I didn’t bother going up to them. After school Michelle came to me , “this morning right before the bell rang, Nick and I got in to a HUGE argument and I broke up with him..” Michelle told me. I gave her a hug, and we went over to my house. “Michelle are you sure you want to go this party tonight, Nick is going to be with his boys, and I honestly won’t go if you aren’t going.” I asked. But she said that she didn’t care and decided to go.
When we arrived at the party, I had a weird tingly feeling in my stomach that this wasn’t the best idea. I also didn’t like the scenery of it, it was a Cabin in the Red Woods. The Red Woods, always creeped me out. There were too many people at this party, and before I knew it Michelle was not by my side anymore. I wasn’t worried at all because it’s Michelle. I bumped in to Nicholas a little bit later while at the party, but I was surprised that he came up and talked me, considering that he broke up with my best friend just a few hours ago. Knowing Nicholas, I would've thought he would've ran away like the speed of light. Once he came and started speaking to me, I paid no attention to him.. Until, he asked me were Michelle was. I was utterly confused, why would he want to know where she was, or even ask about her. Once I mentioned to him that she said he broke up with her he said, "Michelle and I aren't broken up...We had an argument this morning but we worked things out. Why would she say to you that we broke up!?" After hearing that I had to go find Michelle right away! But then BOOM! All of a sudden the lights went out.. So I tried calling and texting Michelle but she wouldn't reply nor answer her calls, now I started getting worried.
I left the party in such speed, that I felt I was running down the track field at school. Even though the Red Woods scared me, I had to find Michelle. I didn't bother telling Nicholas, because he's probably mad at her for telling me they broke up.
Me. Areanna Roberts, was in the RED WOODS by myself, in the early hours of the morning looking for my best friend. I was just about to return back to the party when I got a phone call... It was Michelle and she was crying, bawling. She told me where she was and I eventually found her, when I asked her why she lied about her and Nicholas breaking up she took a while to answer. But when she did, I was completely shocked to here the answer. I wish I never asked her and heard that answer.
"Areanna the only reason I said we broke up, was because I was fed up of being abused by Nick.. Every time we get in to a fight he manages to verbally abuse me, and sometimes physically.. I'm tired of it." Michelle said. She continued. "If I actually break up with him, I might get verbally or physically hurt. That's why I told you we broke up.. Sorry for lying."
