The Torture Room

A World of Surprises

Two Weeks Later; 6 a.m:

*Beep, beep, beeeeep*

I wake up to the annoying beeping of my alarm clock. "Ugh," I say to myself, "time for school.." I get out of bed and get dressed, putting on some jeans, my combat boots and a My Chemical Romance t-shirt. I finish getting ready and I'm out the door after saying goodbye to my mom and Hunter. "Bai sis!" I hear Hunter say as I'm walking out the door.

I arrive at school promptly 15 minutes later. As I walk into the building, the bell rings. "Right on time." I think to myself as I go to my first class.

. . .

At lunch, I see Tyler with the same old group of friends, but I see a girl I haven't met.

"Hey Tyler, who's this?" I ask

"Oh, this is Natalie, my girlfriend."

"Your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, we've known each other ever since the first day of school. She's in a few of my classes."

"Well hi, I'm Madison." I say to Natalie.

"Hello.." She says shyly. I look over her and see that she is beautiful. She has long blonde hair that stops above her waist. She has emerald green eyes that sparkle lightly in the sun. Her voice is graceful all on its own. She's in perfect shape and has perfect sun-kissed skin, while I look like a freaking ghost. Tyler eventually snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Maddie, you okay?" he asks.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure? You look upset."

"No no, I'm fine. I just, I need to go." I say and I walk away quickly to the girl's bathroom.

I make sure it's empty, then I sit down on the floor and cry. Oh, I've never told you this, but I love Tyler. I loved him since the day I met him. I love his personality and the way he treats others. I love his big brown eyes and the way they shine. I love the way he flips his hair like a pop star would, but I'd never confess this. I continue to cry until I hear someone open the door, and I see that it was Natalie.

"Maddie?" she calls out, "are you okay? Tyler wanted me to come check on you." She turns the corner and sees me crying on the bathroom floor.

"Maddie? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm just dandy." I say sarcastically.

"Oh, okay! I'll go tell Ty." She says happily and walks out of the bathroom.

Well someone doesn't understand sarcasm. I think. I then hear the bell ring and I hurry out of the bathroom, making sure to glance at Tyler, where I see him kissing Natalie.

. . .

When I get home, I decide to research the old house Tyler and I saw a few weeks ago. I type in the address and see that the house was built in 1938, and I see a man who looked kinda like the old man that we saw there. I learn that his name is Dr. Martin and he was a scientist who got run out of his hometown for experimenting on people with "unusual injections." I then scroll down to see a picture of a man who got experimented on by Dr. Martin, and he large red welts all over his body, and his face was swollen. Gross... I decide to call Tyler and tell him about what I found.

*Ring, ring, ring*

"Hello?"

"Hey Tyler, I wanted to talk to you about the house we found a few weeks ago."

"Oh, Hey Maddie, I uh, I can't talk now, Natalie and I are going to the movies. Wanna come?"

"Hell no.."

"Wow, someone's angry.."

"Yeah, I am, but why should you care, you have Natalie now." I say as I hang up angrily. Just then, my mom calls me down to dinner.

. . .

That night, I have a reoccurring nightmare that I was trapped in the house and Dr. Martin was injecting me with unusual things. First, I was strapped to a large metal table, and he was chuckling to himself as he injected me with "medicine" as he called it. I then feel a burning sensation all over my body, and my whole body starts to swell, and it looks like I'm going to explode. I end up waking up in a cold sweat, shaking and crying the next morning.

The next day at school would be probably the worst day of my life. Tyler didn't even notice my existence, and all he was doing when I saw him was making out with Natalie. While walking to lunch, I pull a klutz move and trip over a curb, and when I get up, I hear some laughing behind me. I turn around to see some popular snobby girls pointing their phones at me and snapping pictures of my fall. "Wow Chelsea, you got some good pics, these will go good on social media!" I heard one girl say. "Yeah totally, she wiped out good!" I hear the girl who is apparently Chelsea say, "Hey klutz, strike a pose for the camera!" She says. I smirk and flip off the camera as she snaps the pic.

"Oh my gosh Sam, did you see what she did?!" Chelsea says to a girl beside her.

"Totally! This should be shown to the principal, but no, I don't want her to start crying like a baby like she did in the bathroom yesterday," Sam replies.

All of a sudden I hear a familiar voice. "Hey! Leave her alone!" It was Natalie. "She didn't do anything to you snobs, so back off!"

"Awe, you got your girlfriend to come save you huh? Well, I think we made her mad enough for today. Come on girls!" Chelsea says as she walks away with Sam and a few others who I didn't get the names of.

"Hey, you okay?" Natalie says.

"Yeah, I'm uh, I'm fine."

"You sure, I heard those girls are pretty mean."

"Yeah, I'm all good. So, where's Tyler?"

"Oh, he's off with his friends somewhere."

"Ah, I see. Well, thanks for sticking up for me back there.."

"No problem! Anything for a pretty girl like you!"

"Oh, well.. Thanks." I say as I blush.

"Well, I'm going to go find Tyler, I'll see you around!" Natalie replies as she walks away towards the courtyard, and I walk away towards my next class.

A/N: Hey guys!!!!! I just wanted to say a few things about this chapter. First off, I didn't expect Tyler to get a real girlfriend, but I decided to be evil and make it that way. I didn't expect most of this chapter to come out the way it did actually, because I had a lot of different things to put in this when I started writing, but I just decided to change it up a bit. Well, anyways, I hope you enjoyed! ~Wolfie <3

P.S. This chapter is only edited for spelling errors, so if you see anything that doesn't make sense, tell me in the comments! Thanks again!
