Invisible

Chapter 3

Maddie's pov

The house was engulfed in flames. There was no use in running. My parents burned and I have no idea where Alex is. I sat surrounded by wild fire. I guess this is where it ends. I had a good 7 years. Childhood is all that matters, that's what the grown ups say anyways. I sit in peace, drowning everything out. Hot tears burning my cheeks as they rolled along. There was a huge crash and shouting men. "We have a survivor!" next thing I know, I am being carried into fresh air. I didn't WANT to leave my parents here. "NO PUT ME BACK! MY MOMMY AND DADDY ARE IN THERE! PUT ME DOWN!" I would cry until I eventually black out from the lack of fresh air. 

Ethan's pov

After class was over, I headed straight for nurses office, but I was interrupted my Ariana, ofcourse. "Hey baby where are you headed in such a rush?" she smirked and tried to kiss me but I dodged it. "I'm going to visit someone in the nurses office" I said. She didn't look pleased. "Who? The quiet little loser?" she snickered and her friends giggled. "Yeah. I mean- she's not a loser" I snapped. "oh so what? You are gonna cheat on me with her or something?" Ariana circled me intimidatingly. "No. I'm breaking up with you" I said and continued to the nurse. I walked in and Maddie was passed out, she looked really red, and was burning up.She had an ice pack on her head. Nurse Carman nodded her head at me. "I assume you are here to visit your friend" she said. "Um.. yeah. Is she alright?" I asked. "Well whoever got to her definitely did a good job of messing her up, but she should be fine with some rest" she said. "Watch her for me. I'm on lunch" Nurse Carman said and left. I sat next to Maddie, who was twitching alot.  She must be having some sort of nightmare. I had her head resting in my lap, and she started moving. "NO! NO! NO! NO!" She yelled. I hugged her tightly. "Shh its okay, you're okay" I said until she calmed down. "Ethan?" she said once she got a good look at me. I nodded my head. "Yeah, are you okay Maddie?" I asked her. She nodded her head. "Uh-huh, I just.. tripped down the stairs" she lied. "No no no, I know what happened. And I broke up with her" I said. She looked at me. "You didn't have to do that. But,thanks.." She trailed off. "Yeah and... I was wondering.. do you want to go out sometime?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck. She tensed up. "Uh... I- I can't" she stuttered and sped walked out of the nurses office, leaving me alone and confused.

Dylans pov

I waited for Nicole at her locker. She arrived minutes later and got her backpack. "Ready to go?" I asked and she smiled. "Yeah, lets goooo!" she said excitedly. As we walked to my house, we made small talk. "So what should the baby's name be?" I asked Nicole. "Ok ok. Its a boy, and its name, should be Tristan!" she squealed. "I like that name" I smiled at her. It became silent. I broke the tension and space by taking Nicoles hand as we walked.

Nicoles pov

AHHHHHH HE'S HOLDING MY HAND!!!!!! I calmed myself down and we arrived a Dylans house. "So my mom and sisters are out grocery shopping so, we have the house" he said with a slight smirk. I blushed and followed him upstairs. We sat on his bed. "Sooo.. what do we do with it?" He asked. "Uh, nothing I guess. Just make sure it doesnt get hurt" I said. We sat in silence for 5 minutes before Dylan broke the tension. "You know, Nicole. I really like you- and I have for awhile now.." he said. I felt my heart start to race. "I- I really like you too, Dylan" I stuttered. "So. I was wondering if, you wanted to be my girlfriend?" he asked. "Yes! Of course!" I screeched and hugged him. I slowly pulled away and he kissed me gently, which knowing myself, led to making out.

Maddies pov

I rushed home. Ughhhh I can't believe Ethan wants me now. I had to give an excuse. I really like him, I don't have the heart to reject him. But... we can't date. He's a player. Whether I like it or not, he would eventually break my heart and move on, just like all his other past relationships. And since I'm not special, it will be no different for me. I got home and threw my backpack into my room. I went back downstairs to discover Ms. Ward waiting for me. "Hey hun, I was wondering if you could go clean up this kitchen in a house down the street for me while I cook dinner" she said and looked at me. "Uh sure, no prob mom, I will get into the logo shirt" I said and bounded back upstairs. I put the light blue polo with the logo on it, then slid into my khaki colored skinny jeans, and my black vans. I went into the closet and got my bag of cleaning supplies. "Mom I should be back in about a half hour" I said and she nodded. I walked down the street, to the address Ms. Ward gave me. I knocked on the door and a strange looking man answered. "You must be the cleaner I was waiting for. Come in" he said. I walked in and his entire living room was dark and a mess. "So I'm here for your kitchen, right?" I asked as politely as my voice would go. "Yeah, don't mind the rest, I have just been... reorganizing." he said. God this place was creepy. "Take a seat, allow me to get you a drink" he said, I felt something touch my butt, and when I turned around the man had walked by. Ohh I'm getting a bad feeling in my stomach... I sat on the couch as told. I made sure my phone was close at hand, just incase. He came back with water.. but it smelled kinda funky. It has something in it and I know it. This guy is planning something. "Um sir.. I don't mean to be rude, but I just need to clean your kitchen to get home in time for dinner" I lied, hoping he would let me clean and leave. I got up. "SIT DOWN!" he yelled. I bolted for the door but he pulled me back by my arm. "LET ME GO!" I yelled. He ripped ducktape out of a drawer and stuck it on my mouth. He held both of my hands together with one of his hands, and used the other to try and scrape my clothes off. I kicked at him and struggled but he was too strong. He began to kick my legs and punch me in the stomach and face. I eventually threw my entire body on him, causing him to land hard on the ground. I took the chance to run and I did. I ran straight home as fast as my bruised legs would go.
