The Remedy For Love (Escape The Fate)

Chapter 4~

I'm so done with Ronnie's shit!! All he does is get high, get drunk, and accuse me of shit I don't even do! Right now, I don't want anything to do with him....But sadly he still lives with my mom and I, so I'm stuck with him until I can figure something out.

Right now, I'm sitting in my History class with Craig, and could feel Ronnie's eyes burning into the back of my head..Sadly we have most of our classes together, and now that I'm friends with Craig, I could tell things could get worse.

As the teacher dragged on about The Civil War, I kept shooting glances over at Ronnie, and saw he was staring back at me. Surprisingly, he didn't look mad or how he looks when he gets jealous over other guys...He looked calm, but he looked sad. I don't know if he's masking his anger, and waiting to take it out on me later, I don't know.

Suddenly, the teacher came over to me and said "Maxwell, I don't think you'll learn any of this valuable information, staring at Ronald now will you?"

I shook my head and said "Sorry, sir."

He nodded and looked up at Ronnie. "That goes for you too, Ronald."

Ronnie nodded and said "Sorry." and looked down at his textbook.

The teacher went back to the lesson, and I looked over at Craig who was sitting beside me, and sighed...This is gonna be  a long day.

By the time lunch came around, I got to know Craig more. He loves music, he sings, and he said he used to be in some band called Bless The Fall, until he quit and some guy named Beau Bokan took his place as lead singer in the band.

I told him that Ronnie and I wanted to start a band someday, but his partying has gotten in the way of it, and I don't think he's committed enough to do it like he used to be. I told him I play Bass, and I could play Bass in a new band he's trying to start.

(A/N: I know that Craig didn't start ETF, but just pretend he is.)

"Have you written any other songs since you left Bless The Fall?"

He nodded and said "Yeah, I've written some new ones...But not much."

"Can I see them...Well, if it's okay with you?"

He said "Yeah I could show you sometime, but they're at my new house in my room...Wanna come over after school and hang out?"

I chewed on my bottom lip, where my snake bites are, and said "Mmmm, I don't know if that would be a good idea.."

He raised an eyebrow, then he realized I was talking about Ronnie and nodded. "Oh...Well that's okay, I understand...Maybe we can do it another time, when you get a chance."

I smiled and said "Okay."

Then the bell rang, and I groaned...I really don't wanna go to class...I just wanna go home. I just wanna go home, and not deal with Ronnie right now.

He sighed and said "I gotta go dude..See ya later, okay?"

I nodded and said "Okay."

He turned to leave and said "Oh wait, hold on." He pulled his backpack up, and dug through it until he found a pen and some paper. He quickly scribbled something down on the paper, tore it off, and handed it to me. It was his phone number, and under it said 'Text me, beautiful'

I looked up at him, and he was smiling. He said "See ya, Max." he winked at me, before walking away. I smiled and put the paper in my pocket.

As I grabbed my stuff to get to my next class, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I jumped and swiveled around. Ronnie was standing there, looking at me, and I sighed in relief.

"Jesus Ronnie, what the hell?! You almost gave me a fucking heart attack!"

He said "Sorry...What did he give you?"

I looked at him and asked "What? What are you talking about, Ronnie?"

He stepped forward and asked "The piece of paper you stuffed in your pocket...What is it?" He took a step forward, and I took one step back. He kept moving until I was up against a wall, and he reached his arms out and put them on either side of my head.

He brought his face close to mine and asked "What is it? I'm not mad at you Max, I just wanna know...I just wanna know who my boyfriend is talking to, what's wrong with that?"

I swallowed and pulled the paper out of my pocket...I was either that, or get hit by him again, and I really would like to have all my limbs attached to my body.

I handed him the paper and he looked at it.

"Text me, beautiful?" He looked up at me, and I didn't know what to say to him...I was afriad of saying anything.

He didn't do anything, he just simply nodded and said "Okay...Okay." He handed me the paper, and I put it back in my pocket.

He smiled a little and said "I'll see you 8th hour, okay?"

I nodded nervously and said "O-Okay."

He nodded and gave me a quick kiss and said "I love you, Maxxie...never forget that."

I nodded and said "I love you too." and he walked away....

What the fuck just happened?
