Chapter 10Nick

"Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame. Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned... just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die. You gotta get up and try... and try... and try..." Nai dragged the last syllable out before opening her eyes again. She, Sam and June decided to have a karaoke session in the middle of the east wing common room. They were singing a song Nai had been listening to non-stop.

She enjoyed the chorus the most... I heard it enough times to understand that each of us thought of something very different upon hearing the words. June and Tommy stared at each other all moon-eyed... their desires being each other. My desire was to get noticed by Nai...but I'm being selfish. I am selfish. Because Naomi's desire is so much larger than mine. It's not something as stupid as being noticed by her crush... no. Her desire is to eliminate the control her father has over her... I know as much.

I'm stupid. My biggest question is when will she notice how much I care when her biggest question is... how long will he control me before I am finally strong enough to fight the monster in my head?

Wind whipped my face in harsh gusts of icy air that brought me out of the memory and into the present. That was a few days before 'The incident' as I liked to call it.

 

Nova and Si thought it was best I come again tonight even though we talked yesterday.

 

"Time is of the essence the sooner we're out of here the better." I agree with his words... the latter part. Time will never be on our side. For time is a cruel and twisted thing, I thought I had all the time in the world with her but those moments slipped between my fingertips.

 

They were gone. I want more. I'm selfish. I'm greedy. I want more moments with her, but how can I create moments with someone who doesn't remember me? Someone who hates me because of an emblem on my chest I was forced to wear?

 

I didn't blame her because everything these people represented was sick in a gut-twisting way, how could someone enjoy torturing another person? Meta or not we all had blood running through our veins, we were all one. We all had hearts and minds and bones and emotions.

 

"Nickolas how much longer till you get there?" Simon sounded tense, I remember him mentioning that the school's security was getting harder and harder to bypass, he wasn't sure how much longer we could keep tricking the GPS tracking system.

"5 minutes..."

"Good," No... not good. Anticipation coiled with dread to create a combination that made my stomach churn.

 

I was terrified, I hate seeing the hate in her eyes.
