The Reckless Heroes of our Fear Chapter 4

AN: yay another update! i might not be able to update as regulary as i have school tomorrow and i have to start revising about 20 times more than normal for my GCSE's joy -_-  well i will let you read the story now Wooly xx 

Kier

Laurence was acting strange. And when I say strange, stranger than normal. He was becoming more withdrawn he would disappear for hours at a time and when he finally emerged from where ever he was hiding himself he would sit silently and stare at nothing. I was worried. We all were.

Drew

I was worried about Laurence he was so quiet, quieter than Shane. He appeared from wherever he’d gone today and I followed him through to the kitchen. “Laurence,” he jumped “Can we talk? I’m worried” he looked so confused and nodded. We walked down to mine and Shane’s room. I close the door and lean against it as he sits on the bed. “Laurence are you alright? You seem distant” he looked up at me sadness in his eyes. “Yeah I’m fine Drew just tired” now that I have a chance to look at him properly I notice large black circles around his eyes that make him look like his trademark panda but I know for certain these aren’t purposeful. I can tell he’s lying. “Laurence why haven’t you been sleeping, I’ve known you too long for you to lie to me” he sighed before looking me straight in the eyes. “I would tell you Drew but right now I need to figure some things out.” I nodded and left the room hearing him follow.

Barrone

Drew walked in and planted himself on my lap. Snuggling in. “Wassup Wooly?” I asked him placing a kiss on the top of his head. “The sky” I laughed. “Apart from the blatantly obvious what’s wrong?”

“is it me or is Laurence acting strange? I asked him what was wrong and he just said he was tired and had things to work out” I furrowed my brow. This wasn’t like him he usually came to Drew or Kier with any problem he had. I watched as for about the third time today he stuffed his arms in his jacket and walked out or the flat.

Laurence

I shuffled slowly down the road to the park. I followed the path to the small wooded area and found ‘my’ tree. It was tall and strong. Its branches were thick. I slowly climbed its limbs until I reached my favourite spot. I leaned against the trunk and stretched my legs along the thick branch. I pulled out my iPod and plugged my headphones in my ears. I sat staring into the distance and sang along quietly.

Kier

I had followed Laurence. I looked down at one point to check the time and when I looked back I just saw his long black coat disappear into the thicket. I stood in the shadows as I watched him climb a tree near the opposite side of the clearing we had entered. I had been here so many times and never found it. It was beautiful. I sat in the shadow watching as Laurence sat singing. I could tell he was from this distance as his lips were moving and he had his headphones in. I moved silently forward keeping to the darkness. I stood as close as I would allow myself. I heard his voice drift down. He was singing along to one of our song ironically. “The touch of winters chill has laid a claim, my breath appearing a haze” Merchants of Decay. I watched as he closed his eyes and continued to sing. I sat down listening.
