13~BRAT

After we all cried our eyes out, we decided to go to bed. I laid down for a while but couldn't get any sleep. I tried reading a couple of books but what kept going through my head was, 'Alex has leukemia' over and over again until I finally dozed off.

I woke up to Alex smiling at me with a big smile. A part of me felt like crying, and then for some reason anger flared up inside me, and what I said next completely shocked me, "GET OUT! GET OUT NOW!"

Alex looked at me with tear-filled eyes and quickly ran out of the room. A wave of guilt washed over me but I couldn't bring myself to get up and go apologize to him. I felt a tear slowly drop from my eye as I buried my face in my pillow.

"Why did you scream at Alex?" Cinth barged in sounding very annoyed.

"Leave me alone Cinth," I said as I tried to hide my tears.

As she was about to say something, her phone rang so she quickly turned to me and said, "This is over."

I quickly got ready and raced out the door ignoring everyone and everything. I felt like a ticking emotional bomb, the next person to talk to me would either make me cry or make me angry, so on my way out I decided to avoid everyone.

~~~

Wow, avoiding people is exhausting. As I got to school I successfully steered clear of all my friends until I realized that Tia was in my first-period class. I started to wonder about all the bad things that might happen until I realized that Tia was home, sick. I was relieved, but not because my friend was sick. My other periods were just fine I didn't bother to talk to anyone and no one talked to me. 'So good so far'

I heard the bell go off for lunch so I got there quickly knowing that Aidan and Nadia always took their time before they got to lunch. I got my lunch and sat down on one of the secluded seats at the edge that people barely noticed. I started eating my lunch when I saw Nad and Stanley walk into the cafeteria get their lunch and sit on one of the tables in the middle. I could hear everyone they were saying.

"What's up with you and your little friend? Stanley asked as he started to stuff his face.

"Do you mean Amy? " Stanley nodded, "Oh, I don't know."

"When you were taking books from your locker I saw her and waved to her she quickly turned on her heels and headed the other way," Stanley said.

Oh, I might have forgotten to mention that. When I got to school I saw Nad and Stanley by her locker and quickly turned to head the other way I saw him turn and wave before I ran off in the other direction, but, in my defense, I thought maybe he was waving to someone else.

"Really?" I heard the sadness in Nad's voice and I couldn't help but feel guilty, "I didn't even know she was at school, I didn't see her all day, and I can't even see her now," Nad said as she stretched to look around the cafeteria. I bent in my seat to hide myself. I wanted to tell her I was right here and there was nothing wrong, but I didn't want to hurt her feelings with my stupid emotions.

After lunch was over I waited everyone out before I went to my next class. The rest of the day went by in a flash and I couldn't help but smile once it was over. I was on my way out when I saw people gathering around a clipboard. My curiosity got the better of me and I went to check what it was. It was the list of people who made it into the drama club. I completely forgot this was supposed to come out today.

I scanned through the list and saw that I had made it and so did Aidan and Tia. I wanted to be happy about this, I really did, but I couldn't bring myself to even smile about it. I scanned to the bottom of the list and saw that our first meeting would be tomorrow.

As I was about to leave I heard a familiar voice celebrating a win. I quickly tried to hide myself so he wouldn't see me as I tried to slip out, but it is pretty hard to do that when you're tall. As I was about to make it out of the door I heard the voice call my name. I wanted to run but I knew I wouldn't be able to escape the person. I slowly turned to meet those blue eyes and that big bright smile.

"Hi Danny," I said as I forced a smile.

"We did it we got in," he said as he hugged me. I've never seen someone so excited about drama club. After he let me go I took a step back

"Yeah, we did," I looked back at the door and turned to him, "I really got to go, see you tomorrow, bye," I didn't wait for him to reply as I waved gently and ran out of the school.

Once I got home I took a shower and went straight to bed, avoiding people is exhausting.

~~~

I woke up to a buzz on the side of my bed. I gently rubbed my eye and saw it was a notification. I checked the time and saw it was almost dinner time. I heard my mum gently open the door as she switched on the light.

"Honey, it's dinnertime come eat something," she said as she stood by the door.

I stirred around the bed stretching my body. "I'm not hungry."

"But you have to eat something, you only had breakfast today."

"Mum I said I'm not hungry, please close the door I'm still very sleepy, "I was actually very hungry but I didn't want to face my family at all, normally my mum would scold me and tell me to not be like that and all that, but she nodded and closed the door behind her.

After a while, I checked the time and noticed that dinner was supposed to be over by now. I gently slipped down the stairs and saw my parent and Cinth were still around the table.

"We need to talk to her," my mum said sounding very worried.

"She's taking this terribly, like the rest of us, and she's being a brat," Cinth said in annoyance.

"Hyacinth, you know she has always been quiet and unable to show her emotions, so give her some time," my dad said calmly.

"You're right," Cinth sighed as I heard her coming my way. I quickly ran upstairs and back to my room. I waited them out another hour.

I gently went back down and saw that everyone had already left for bed.

I went to the fridge and saw a container with a note on it.

Honey, I know you didn't come down because you didn't want to upset anyone with your emotions, I hope you talk to someone about it before it hurts you badly. I'll always be here when you need me. I left your favorite. Love mum.

I couldn't help but shed a tear at this. I warmed up the food and started to eat. After I finished up I went back upstairs to my room and started to write a poem pouring out all my pain.

Author's note:
Hi everyone, I've been busy reading the good girl's bad boys and it gave me a lot of inspiration and push to write my book better. I hope you liked this chapter, and check out the book it's awesome.

Amethyst reacted to the bad news the same way I would have😅. If I haven't mentioned it before I almost completely based her on myself, but not her life though, just  her personality. This chapter surprisingly didn't take me a long time to write.

I have been working on another book, I'm still workshopping the name, and I won't post it until I finish this book, get prepared. Don't forget to vote and comment. Love you all.
