Chapter Twenty Nine
Philip's Insanity

(Nobody's Pov!)

   

      Philip paced back and forth in his room, unable to do anything else. He couldn't stop thinking about his dad. He was here in the school. He was near Mackenzie. He could've killed her and taken her from him. Philip's entire body was twitching and trembling. He couldn't control his movements.

      All he wanted to do was grab ahold of his dad and choke the life out of him. How dare he hurt Mackenzie when she was younger! And how dare he kill her mother! He's a sick bastard who deserves to die.

      Yet Philip still craved fatherly love. He wanted a father to be proud of him. He wanted some support from a dad. He wanted to make his dad proud, but his dad was a monster. How could he even be thinking this way? It was disgusting to him, yet the thoughts wouldn't go away. What if his dad was actually a good guy? What if.. what if none of this ever happened?

     That's when a knock pulled him from his thoughts. He walked to his door and opened it, revealing Alcameano.

"Hey man, you doing alright? You look like you haven't slept." Alcameano asked, staring at Philip's disheveled appearance. Philip's eyes were dark and he had bags under his eyes. His hair was also a fluffy mess.

"My dad was here. He was here and he talked to Mackenzie." Philip said, his eyes twitching as he spoke of his father. Alcameano raised an eyebrow as he watched Philip's anxious behavior. Philip was twitching and moving around very sporadically.

"Calm down man. Are you sure that's not just another one of your episodes?" Al asked, watching as Philip's expression transformed into one of anger.

"Are you kidding me? Are you fucking serious right now? You're doubting me right now?! My dad was here! He talked to Mackenzie ! Ask her!" Philip shouted, his fists clenched tightly.

"Nah man. That's a sensitive subject for her. I'm not talking to her about your dad." Alcameano said, causing Philip to growl. Philip breathed our roughly, causing a small bit of fire to come from his nose.

"Calm down, bro." Al said, taking a step away from Philip. Philip was acting erratically and Al knew that he needed to back off.

"Just get away from me." Philip spoke, lowly. He was having a hard time looking at anyone. Everyone was at risk here. His dad could kill them all with ease. Maybe his only choice would be to join his dad, but that would mean bringing Mackenzie along with him. How would that even work? He felt like such an idiot.

"I'll talk to you later man.. Good luck with whatever this is." Al said, walking down the hall, causing Philip to violently slam his bedroom door. Philip stomped over to his bed, his body heating up rapidly. He needed to get a grip before he burned down the entire school.

"You're right. He's completely different." Al spoke, sitting on Caleb's couch.

"I told you man. I don't think it's a good idea for him to be around Mackenzie like this. He's quite literally raising the temperature in the dormitory." Caleb said, sweating dripping off his forehead.

"What can we do? We can't just tell him to stay away from Mackenzie. He'd absolutely explode..." Al said, taking his shirt off due to the heat.

"It would have to be Mackenzie's decision to stay away from him. He wouldn't be as angry if she made the choice." Caleb said.
