Keia

Chapter 19: Second Loop (Autumn)

    Autumn was not typically somebody who was prone to anger, however, finding out that there was an accident involving Keia and Robin made something bubble up inside him, something white and hot. He felt like he had to hit something in order to make the feeling go away, but when he attempted to do so he just felt like crying. He didn't like the idea of breaking something, the sound of something shattering because he touched it made him feel impossibly guilty and afraid. What if it made a loud sound? Autumn made a choice right there and then, he was no longer going to let Zack control him. He had to be the one who was behind the "accident" because there was no way that he and his stupid fucking cult weren't behind what was going on. Kids just don't die in a high school bathroom without there being more to it.

Autumn kicked something away from him that was on the floor. He shook his head a little bit and brushed his hair out of his eyes. There will be no more of this, his life was not meant to be controlled by somebody as cruel as Zack. So what if he held onto his first time! Autumn slowly stands up pushes open the door of his room and makes his way to his car. His house was empty, and a lonely creak breaks through the silence. Autumn held the pain in his chest and decided it would be a fiery blade in which he would cut the ties he had with Zack.

Walking outside of his house for the first time since he was sent home by staff was refreshing. The night was fairly cool and the wind blew onto his tear-stricken face. Autumn opens the door to his car. He began to drive to where he knew Zack lived, the houses flying past his vision all blurred together. No more of this, never again will somebody take something he loved. Robin was all he had now, and that was taken from him too. Even if Zack really loved him, it wouldn't matter, would it? He wasn't going to protect him, or care for him. He couldn't do it alone, and if his life was going to fall apart again he was going to make sure he left swinging. He had no intention of hurting Zack physically, at least not at first. Maybe a good slap or kick if he really felt up to it. He just wanted to make sure that Zack knew that he was an awful person. In his blurred vision, The fated home began to appear. He slowly opens the door to his car, stepping into the cold night.

"Let me in!" Autumn slams his fists onto the door, feeling himself tearing up. The door creaks open and Zack pokes his head out the door. 

"What do you want, I've got more important things to focus on than you." Autumn felt rage bubbling in him again, and with a swift motion, he slaps Zack with a nice crack. 

"What did you do to Keia and Robin! Don't act like you weren't behind it." Autumn sobs out. 

"All I know is that they are dead, Autumn. That's all that really matters. I didn't have anything to do with it. Get out of my driveway please." Autumn balls up his fist and with a clumsy swing, knocks Zack into his doorframe.

"I don't care what happens now. Never speak to me again.." Autumn wipes his nose and makes his way back to his car. With the last ounce of strength that he had, he drove himself over to where Robin and he would spend time together. It was going to be a very long night.
