Bittersweet Blueberrys | Sal x Travis (Break)

- Chapter 17 -

PoV. Sal

I catch Travis staring at me, to be specific, in my eyes.. well eye. He quickly turned away as is look back. Weird...

I'm not stupid, I see how he acts different. He ignores us mostly in school, only rarely talks. When he works, he often comes over. I'm pretty sure he has no friends... I'm feeling a bit pity, worried. But at the same time, he locks everything inside of him, he doesn't speak to anyone, with exception of me and Lisa.

He doesn't even dare to speak to Larry, but I can understand that. Larry is really agressiv, no matter how you are to him, one wrong step and your dead. I mean, besides if he likes you. And Travis definitely doesn't count on the list of people he likes.

If I wouldn't stop him, Travis probably would have already be bologna. I just hate when Larry fights, no matter with who. 

He knows I hate it. And he also knows there aren't many things I hate. So he keeps that most of the time atleast. 

He and Travis had a little argument earlier, and Larry was an inch before beating Travis, we all know this would have ended up bad, very bad

Well, we all split now, my next class is PE. I dislike PE, not hate it but I'd rather have any other subject. 

Maple is also in PE now, so we talk on the way there. Reminds me when we had a new PE Teacher who didn't believe I was a boy, and almost forced me to the Girls changing room. Just because of my hair? Ugh...

~ Time skip ~ (after school)

We all stand infront of the school, talking of how boring the schoolday was. Ash and Neil leave together, Maple and Chug go together to Maples. Todd has a project to do and goes back in the school.

'Bro, don't look but church boy is staring' Ofcourse I turn around seeing the blond sitting on the stairs, looking at us. 
'Hey, you can go home, I come soon after you. I gotta do something.' I say, and Larry looks at me confused. 'Sure man, but if somethings off call me, ya?' He didn't expect an answer and leaves, looking back for a while before he leaves out of sight. 

I turn around and sit next to Travis 'Hey man, is everything alright?' He looks up to me, I guess I scared him, since he looked shocked at me. I let him take a breath before he responses 'I'm fine.' He's mad again. What did I do this time?! 

'Well, wanna go together?' I smile at him, even though I know he doesn't see it. '....' He wants to say something but doesn't do it. why? I have no idea. 

I jump off and grab his hand to help him up, his face got red, I mean I didn't give him a warning, I just basically throw him up. I start walking, not paying any notice if he comes too or if he stays there. 

I heard footsteps run after me, then next to me. Just a small glance at the purple sweater shows that it's Travis, who else to be honest?

It's been quiet for a while before I try talking to blondy 'Hey umm how has your day been?' He doesn't say anything. Damn, ignoring me again?

'Why are you always ignoring meEeEeE?!?!' I say annoying, just to get on his nerves. 
He's pissed, but still no response. 

'Bro, that's not how you make friends.' I roll my eyes and walk a bit faster, so does he. Now he get's on my nerves a bit. Ignoring me but walking with me at the same time? tf is that for an behavior?

*sigh* I just want to come home soon.

We both are in the elevator, going down first. Travis puts something in my pocket while walking out, and the doors close. I take it out, surprised to find Travis number on it. My Face heats up a bit, and I put the paper back in my pocket.

The doors open and I go to 402. I take my Keys and unlock the door. Gizmo jumps up my pants and I pick him up, he's so cute! 
I close the door and put him on the couch, then walk to my room and take my shoes off. 

I take my gear boy and play for sometime, while Gizmo sits next to me, watching it while eating popcorn. hold on, we don't even have Popcorn...?! Eh-- I don't have any clue where Gizmo get's half of his food. 

Gizmo acts more like a human then any other Pet I've seen, he just sits there on his butt, with his two front paws to grab popcorn and place it in his mouth. How? I have no idea.  

After about 15 Minutes I hear someone ring. Maybe Larry, but he would just use the walkie talkie which lies next to the TV, on the photograph of Megan when she was still alive. 

Well, whoever it is I should let them in. I fix my mask, just to be sure and walk over to it. 
I open the big door, surprisingly to find Travis behind. 'Hey, what's up? What are you doing here?' I try to be friendly, even if he pissed me off a bit earlier. 

'Lisa said that there's green slime in your apartment too, she's with Mrs Gibson' He mumbles. So now he talks? 'Wait, lemme check in the kitchen, I didn't use it in a while, Dad must have told Lisa or something.' I leave the door open and go over to the kitchen. Yes, greenish slime drops off, it almost glows but it's very disgusting. 

'Yes, there is this slime actually.' I yell back. I turn around, Travis already sit's on the floor while Gizmo searchs on him for food. He licks him and.. Travis laughs. Actually laughs! 
A smile grows on my Face. 

After a while of watching Travis realize I've been staring at him and his face gets red from embarrassment, he brushes Gizmos fur of him and goes over to the kitchen. 

He cleans the sink and I see that his hair grows out, to really dark brown. I think it looks better then his neon blond colored hair. 
'If you need something, I'm in my room!' I smile, of course he can't see it, even if he'd turn around. 'mhmm.' I leave him there. 

I close the door, and sit on the floor. The homework is super easy actually. It just takes about 10 Minutes and I'm done. 

I sit on the floor in boredom but then my Face hurts. It really hurts, I think i need to put some creme on again. I have next to my medicine creme which helps in case my face hurts again.

I take the creme from my Drawer and lay my mask next to me. I put the creme on and my Face cools down. Then, someone bursts in. Shit.

I hold my mask on my Face as quick a possible and turn around. Larry stands in the doorframe. 'Sorry little dude.' he closes his eyes and shuts the door. After a short pause I finish putting the creme on and put my mask back on.

I walk out of the room, right into a fight. Larry clearly hit Travis in the Eye, and Travis has given Larry Bloody wounds. Anger is in both eyes to be seen. 
To be honest, Larry looks like he'd beat Travis to dead. 

I jump between both 'STOP.' I yell. I look from Larry over to Travis, both in shock. Travis steps away, not breaking eye contact with me. Larry isn't moving, just standing there, looking between Travis and me repeatidly. 

'What the hell was that?' Travis, now almost on the front door, is seemingly scared. 
'What? I ain't gonna let you fight in my apartment!' I'm still mad at them. 

'I... dude, blondie isn't talking about that your mad...' Larry is taking deep breaths, moving again. 
Travis doesn't leave, but something must have shaken them up. What have I done so they look so surprised and scared?!
