Strange World

Burned

Warning this chapter gets dark.

Chloe POV:
I tossed my cigarette on the ground sighing as it had been about two hours since the whole Rachel situation happened. Max and Rachel were both doing school shit leaving me alone to deal with all the stuff alone. Looking around the junkyard I smirked seeing the bat I once used to try and impress Rachel with. "You know what..fuck all of this," I said to myself picking up the bat. Walking into the building Rachel and I used to hang out in all the time just brought anger. Throwing the bat down I pulled out my lighter looking over at a suitcase of clothes Rachel and I kept here in case of emergencies. A sort of evil smirk rushed across my face as I drug the suitcase outside flicking open my lighter. "Just like our relationship this shit is going up in flames," I said before lighting one of the shirts on fire,and then tossing it back on the suitcase. Watching the clothes burn up was kind of relieving as it made it fell like now I didn't have to worry about all Rachel's crap. "Price,what the hell are you doing?" Frank asked walking up behind me. "Honest answer Frank,I'm burning memories of Rachel since we are over now," I said sighing. "Which one of you fucked it up?" he asked causing me to laugh a bit. "Frank you know how Rachel cheated on me all the time? This time she tried to cheat on me with my I guess friend,but if she said no Rachel was gonna blackmail her," I said as he sighed. "Deep shit Price. I tell you what next bag of weed is on the house," he said causing me to smirk a bit. "I would've dumped Rachel sooner if I knew it would get me a free bag," I said causing him to chuckle a bit.

Max POV:
It was all dark as I opened my eyes seeing I was in my dorm room. I could've sworn I was in class when I fell asleep. Slowly I opened my door room seeing it was all dark with the only light coming from the end of the hallway. Taking small steps forward I walked closer to the light hearing crying come from the room. Suddenly one of the doors kicked open revealing something that caused time to stand still. I almost dropped to my knees looking at the body of Kate laying on the ground. Blood was pouring from her wrist as a blood covered piece of glass laid next to her. A bell begin to ring as I kept looking at Kate,but I opened my eyes seeing I was in Jefferson's class. Immediately I looked seeing Kate wasn't in her seat which could be super fucking bad. Not stopping for anything I ran out of the classroom and school knowing I had to do something. I was stopped when David basically jumped in the way holding his arms out. Not even thinking I ducked under his arm running past before heading into the dorms. I had so much momentum when I turned the corner I almost crashed into the wall,but I caught myself. Finally I got to Kate's dorm banging on the door as you couldn't hear anything,and then the sound of glass shattering rang out. "Kate! Open up it's me Max. Listen whatever you are about to do don't do it. We can talk," I said before the door begin slowly opening. Kate looked out with tears in her eyes as I immediately jumped out hugging her. "Kate listen I know life is hard right now,but this isn't the answer," I said as she begin crying into my shoulder. Looking around I saw blood covering some of the glass as she must've cut her hand breaking the mirror. "What happened her?" I heard the voice of Ms.Grant saw from behind me as I had to break the hug with Kate,and explain everything that happened.

Rachel POV:
Rolling my eyes I walked into the dorms seeing a large group of people gathered around Kate Marsh's room. "What happened?" Victoria asked running over as I shook my head walking into my dorm. Whatever the deal with Kate was must've been big as I heard a ambulance pull up outside. I'm not sure how but I know those drugs Nathan slipped Kate had something to do with it. Ever since that night those pictures of Kate had been spreading like crazy. I told Nathan to leave Kate alone as she never bothered anyone,but he insisted it would make her open up. Laying down on my bed I looked up at the roof a tear rolling down my cheek as everything begin to hit me. Chloe had broken up with me all because I couldn't just stay loyal,and now Kate was going to the hospital because I didn't stop Nathan. Part of it was funny because I had sex with other people, but only ever once with Chloe. What the fuck was wrong with me? I tried to force Max into some weird relationship,and I hurt Chloe cause I felt like banging someone. I got up to look out the window seeing Max walk with Kate to the ambulance. It looked like Kate had cut her hand or wrist. Stumbling back a bit I hit the wall before sliding down knowing it was all my fault. Slowly I leaned over locking my door as I just wanted to be alone thinking about why I was like this. I couldn't repair any of this especially the Kate shit as those memories would haunt her. Looking down at my phone I saw a bunch of notifications from social media probably about what happened. Closing my eyes I threw my phone at the wall holding in a scream. I was hurting everyone I knew just because I couldn't be bothered to stop and give a shit.
