Grenade

I sat on the bench, rubbing the sleeves of my hoodie to keep myself warm. It was breezy out which made my hair whip around my face. I didn't bother pushing it away. It protected me from Joe's eyes.

"Why are we here?" I muttered, still angry. He had brought me here against my will. Even though I had gained all my weight back, he could still carry me as if I still weighed seventh nine pounds.

"We're meeting with everyone." He said, eyeing me. I turned my head away and watched people walk past.

"Who's everyone?" I asked, my eyes flickering to the trees.

"Skylar, Zoey, Tom, and Jackson." He rubbed my arms and kissed my head. I pushed him away and rested my elbow on my thighs.

I just nodded, and glanced at my phone. I wanted to die. I didn't want to talk to them. They would probably ask why I ignored their calls and refused their visits. And I wasn't going to tell them the truth; that I hated human contact. Especially now.

"Let me go!" I could hear a girl scream. I tilted my head, half amused. A guy with black hair walked over to us with a girl that looked like Zoey. And it was Zoey.

She glared at him and turned around, meeting my eyes. Instantly, I turned my gaze to the other side, where I saw Skylar and Jackson.

"Hey guys." Skylar waved. She was holding Jackson's hand. I guess they were together, again. But there was no point in congratulating them, cause they would probably be broken up again in a day or two.

"Hey!" Tom yelled, running over to the tall dude and Zoey. "Jeez you're fast!" He panted.

"I know." The guy smirked. I looked at Joe.

"Great, you invited another person. As if this wasn't bad enough." I muttered, getting up. As I started towards the forest. Zoey grabbed my shoulder.

"What's the matter?" She asked. I screamed, and shoved her hand away.

"Don't touch me!" I shouted, shoving her to the ground. Tom caught her quickly.

"What the hell?" Tom shouted at me. I looked at him, then everyone else.

"Dill..." Joe started. I shut my eyes tightly, causing the tears to roll down my cheeks. "Wait!" He shouted after I darted off to the forest.

I need to be safe from them. From the world.
