Tale of Winslow Library

Chapter 2 - Glass guitar

Callum's POV-

As I sat in music class, I couldn't help but think about what happened to willow that night. Ever since the revival spell, she hasn't taken the gloves off. I think she needs to call him, or it will get worse.

"Mr. Bardot... Are you with us today, or no?'' The teacher spoke to me as she glanced over to me. My nerves got the best of me as I stuttered out.

'' ye-yes Mrs. Phoenix.''

I huffed as I finished my notes for class and listen to the project that had be done by next Friday. I stood up after the bell rang and went to My locker only to see Viola waiting for me with My sister which wasn't weird cause Willow never waits for me ever.

" Finally! You take forever.'' Willow sighed dramatically

'' Cut him a break Willow. Did you remember to do the research for social studies class.''

I gave a huge oh fuck look and open my locker to see if I did or not an thank the gods I did put in my locker before I left school yesterday.

'' Dude? '' Willow snapped her fingers at me and I looked at her.

'' Chill man, I got it right here. Let's go to class before someone yells at us.'' I grumbled as I close my locker.

We sat down at our group table and Viola was the artist and I did the fact checking and research and Willow well she just cut out the drawings and gluing them down. Willow fell asleep after three things, I felt eyes on me, and I glanced up to meet Viola's eyes.

Her eyes are so beautiful to me. She's like a goddess to me but I know we're only friends. Sometimes I entertain the idea of asking her out, but I also know her answer to it '' Callum, I like you as a friend sorry.''

''Callum? Earth to Callum.'' Viola waved at me, and I snapped out of my thoughts

'' Sorry, I didn't mean to stare at you.'' my face with blushed at my words.

I looked down and packed up my stuff up avoiding looking at Viola. I heard her giggling that sound made me smile so much. As we got to art class, only for me to lose my artwork and start all over again. I was upset about it only to hear her sweet voice ringing in my ears as she spoke to me.

'' Hey Cally, I found your art piece it was mixed up in with the 3rd periods stuff.'' Viola smiled at me, and I felt calm like the ocean after storm.

'' Oh my god, Thank you so much Vi!'' I smiled so brightly and hugged her tightly and twirled around with her in my arms.

For a moment I felt so happy and at peace. I gently put her down and went to our table and started working on our work. As the bell rang Viola put my work with hers so I didn't lose again. We walked to our normal area that we all ate at, but my sister wasn't really eating.

'' Willow, study later you need to eat right now.'' I protested at her.

'' Ugh! Fine! I just want to pass this stupid retake of the math test and get an A+ that's all.'' She played with her hair as spoke.

As the last bell of the day rang, I waited for willow and Viola, but something wasn't right I saw Viola holding hands with Oliver Griffin. Something in me stirred I felt anger or sadness or hurt but why should I feel like this we are just friends nothing more nothing less. But the next really wounded me that was see her kiss Oliver Griffin, my heart shattered in me, and I could see a smug look on Oliver's face when Viola came up to me, but my eyes had pain in them.

'' Hey Cally, What's wrong? hello?'' Viola spoke to and I turned away from her.

'' Callum?! talk to me.'' Her voice that once was sweet to me only to sounded like vinegar now.

I walked off to keep myself from hurting her feelings and for my feeling to stop hurting. I was halfway home, and Willow caught up to me. She saw pain in my face, and she wrapped around me and huffed.

'' Do you want to talk about it?'' I shook my head no and she nodded to me '' I'm here for you when you want to talk about it.''

I didn't really eat dinner that night instead I went to my room and sat on my bed trying to process how I felt about today's events. I picked up my guitar and let the emotions come out in the music and I sang with it, and I finished playing and wrote it down for my project the title was called Broken Glass Guitar melody. I felt little better now I put my emotions out in music, and I heard Willow voice behind me when I was packing up my guitar.

'' I'm sorry Cal. Wanna try and talk about it now?'' Willow sounded soft and worried about me.

'' I was waiting for Viola and you so we could walk home but I saw her holding hands with Oliver and...'' I got quite and looked down at my feet.

'' Why? Why him? Why Willow?'' I looked up quickly at her with water claiming my face and she held me close and petted my head like our mom does to console us.

'' I don't know Cal, I don't think that's our Viola anymore.''

I pulled away from her with puffy red eyes and puffy face from crying and I looked confused at Willow.

'' What do you mean Willow?'' she bit her bottom lip and sighed loudly

'' Remember how you didn't feel like Viola was herself anymore. Well, I think your right because our Viola would never date an asshat like Oliver Griffin.''

I stared at her and spoke out after few minutes.

'' So, you are saying something, or someone is in Viola or controlling her?'' I sound skeptical to Willow

" I'm going to call him and hopefully he picks up and we can figure out what happen because I don't think I did the spell wrong, but I might have done the spell wrong.''

I looked at her and I felt anger, but I wasn't angry at her I was mad at Oliver it was his fault Willow had to do the spell, He killed Viola. He killed MY VIOLA!   I huffed and nodded to Willow.

'' I forgive you Willow it wasn't you're fault that you had to do that spell it was Oliver.''

" I'll call him later tonight. He will be here in two days tops and mom going to be gone for vacation, so she won't know anything about this.''

I smiled and nodded, and I looked at the gloves on Willows hands and spoke up

" How bad are they now willow?'' she looked down and pulled off the gloves to show me.

'' I think it's spreading to my elbows '' she said quietly 

Her fingers were black, and it was traveling to her arms, and I rubbed my hand on them and nothing came off and glanced up at her with worry in my eyes and she smiled trying to comfort me.

'' Don't worry, maybe he knows what to do but right now we need to figure out what happen to the real Viola.''

We said goodnight to each other, and I laid in bed that night tossing and turning cause my heart was broke by someone who wasn't even living, and I worried for my sister health I don't want to lose Willow, but I know that Viola isn't my Viola.
