Echoes In The Field

Chapter 12

She was then hearing someone saying 'sorry' multiple times, and students seems like to be annoyed someone was shoving them. She was assuming it was Kyle until the person finally came out of the huge crowd. Panting and scared. Instead, It was Guienivere.

Jane went up to Guienivere and place her hand on her shoulder.

"Hey Guienivere, have you seen Ky-"

"Jane, we have to go..!" Guienivere interrupted Jane. Jane looked at Guienivere in confusion.

"What? What did you do-"

"Hey! There she is!" Jane and Guienivere turned their heads behind them and see John's minions, catching Guienivere. Guienivere squeaked and took Jane's hand as they run.

"Run fast! Run fast!" Guienivere said to Jane, making Jane quickly fasten up her pace since how slow Guienivere runs.

The two went outside of the school and hid to a bench close from the gates. Luckily the two jocks didn't notice Jane and Guienivere's hiding spot and went outside the gates thinking they're still running.

"Ha! Those stupid a-holes thought we actually went outside!" Jane laughed from their stupidity. Guienivere looks around to see no sign of students and stands up.

"We should go back before we get caught!" Guienivere said in fear as Jane stood up aswell.

"Oh by the way, have you seen Kyle?" Jane questioned, making Guienivere looked up at her.

"I went with him to school in the morning, I was also finding him after my class I did not see any signs of him everywhere." Guienivere said in concern, looking around to not be too loud.

Jane stayed silent for a moment then suddenly thought of something. "Oh."

"What...?" Guienivere said in confusion.

"I know John has something to do with this." Her expression turn into anger as she started walking her way back to the entrance but Guienivere stopped her.

"J-Jane! What are you doing?! That's not a good idea, let's just find Kyle instead!" Guienivere tugged on her jacket so she cannot enter the school more further. Jane did stopped herself and looked at Guienivere seeing her pleads to not go there after their escaped getting beaten up. She sighed in defeat.

"Fine, let's go to his house. Let's see if he's there." Said Jane making Guienivere smile from her acceptance. She nodded as they walk out of school.

The front door suddenly creaks open, Ms. Schimidts turns her head to see who had open the door to see Kyle. She gasped in a dramatic way and quickly went up to Kyle. "Kyle! Baby, what had happened to you?!"

His mother said in worry and concern, wiping the dry blood to his chin but made Kyle hissed in pain.

"I... Got beaten up by John and-"

"By John? As in John Henson?" His mom said in curiosity, cupping Kyle's cheeks from horror.

"My baby... Don't worry, I'll have a talk with his mom about this." His mother said protectively, leaving her hands off of Kyle's face as she went up to the telephone that's in the kitchen.

"No wait!" Kyle yelled, making his mother looked at him before she could even get the phone.

"I-it's okay mom, I can handle it perfectly! Just don't call his mom..." Kyle said nervously as he gave puppy eyes to his mom. Her mom hesitated and sighed heavily, walking a meter away from the phone.

"Okay Kyle... But if John continues you can tell me anytime okay?" His mom in worry. Kyle only nods his head as his mom went up to him and grab his wrist.

"Come, I'll remove this dried blood off of you. And I'll bandage you after." Ms. Schimidts said, bringing him to the bathroom close to the kitchen and rinse his dirty face.

"Are we close?" Guienivere said in exhaustion as they walk onto the side road.

"Yup. We need to turn left aaandddd we're here!" Jane stretched her words once she made it to her destination.

"Oh, his house is actually close?" Guienivere said with a blank expression.

"Yeah, you never been to his place before?" Jane said in confusion as she walks to the front door and Guienivere followed.

"Never... He only went to my place all the time expect his." Guienivere said softly as Jane starts knocking on the door.

"Hello? Kyle? Ms. Schimidts? It's me Jane!" Jane shouted to the door for her to be sounded clear. After a minute the door opens to be Ms. Schimidts.

"Oh Jane, Guienivere! Hello sweeties! Uh, you both finding Kyle?" Ms. Schimidts chirped happily seeing Kyle's friends. Jane and Guienivere exchanged a smile to her aswell.

"Uh yes, since he wasn't anywhere at school and we want to talk to him for a moment." Jane spoke it all. Ms. Schimidts nod her head and opens the door wide for Jane and Guienivere to get inside.

That's where they saw Kyle, staring at the floor and wrapped bandages almost everywhere in his arms and face and only in a tank top. His hoodie and jacket even his beanie was taken off and places beside him on the couch.

Guienivere gasped and went up to Kyle in shock. "My goodness Kyle what had happened to you?!"

Jane followed with Guienivere, wide-eyed in surprise aswell. "Let me guess, John beat you?"

Kyle looked up at Jane while Guienivere stayed on his other side of the couch, hugging him gently.

"Yeah."
