Rains and it Pours || Original Short Story

"School day as usual, get up, have breakfast, take a (long) shower, and then rush to get dressed so that your not late to school. Differance is today i didn't want to go to school (moreso), the day before yesterday the one person who means the most to me stopped talking to me. No matter what i tried i couldn't find a way to get her to talk to me again. I saw that won't work, that why i have proclaimed myself, a broken man. She's broken me.

When i got to school, all seemed find and dandy just like school days usually are, of course i'm kidding, but today looked exactly the same, no exceptions. Walking to through the gate besides everyone looking normal walking to home room, i was stopped by a teacher at the front gate. Well i guess i'm late so i need to go and grab a late slip from the office. Going in there was boring as hell, you have to wait for whoever the people at the office were talking to to finish, and then you have to wait for the other people who have the same unforunate fate to get theirs. Then you have to tell them the reason why your late. 

"Why were you late?" 

"uh.. just general lateness, no real reason."

"we can't have general lateness as a reason"

"well thats what it was just me being late."

"So did you sleep in or did you leave home late?"

i just chose to say i left home late, close enough really.

After doing that i made my way over to the classroom, of course i can see in the sky that it's cloudy. Well i supose it going to rain, and it will, oh boy how it will. Making my way into the classroom was fun, having to then give my late slip to my hoperoom teacher, then having to st down somewhere in the floor while people read out the notices and say the morning prayer. pfffff, as if a prayer does anything in this world. 

Well class has started and sure enough, there she is, wait for it, wait for it and nothing, exactly. She still isn't talking to me, i was hoping that maybe because we're at school it would be differant. That idea went bust pretty fast. Oh how the awkwardness of some situations, it was very awkward. We still sat on the same table, along with both our other two friends.

Well lets see what happened next, recess, and then well it started raining. Everyone had to get inside, along with another school that was here for some sports bullshit. Who needs sports? Lets move on, besides it being crowded in the building, i saw one of my old frieinds, i haven't seen him for acouple o' years now. Pretty good reunion there, it was basically the only exciting thing about my day. 

Then the rain stopped, what happened next? Well to be honest i'm not quite sure, i can't remember this part. But i do remember being pissed off, having a blood nose, being drowned in sorrow, and then being pissed some more. Now what i rememeber is sneaking out of the classroom and sneaking through the school to find a way out. I couldn't go by any of the main gates, or by any classrooms, i would be spotted. So what i did, i went over to the area where the janitors and the handymen spent their time, the back shed. This area was covered in scrap metal and you could see all the guys working on fixing things like doors and painting stuff, and other shit like that. Then what happened? Well next i remember was walking through a maze of scrap metal. Then from behind "Hey you, what do you think your doing in there!" Then i ran. I remember running through the dusty ground, patches of mud everywhere. I ran past some of the workers, blue overals, navy blue shirt and all of them had a mustashe. At point one of them were underneath a peice of sheet metal, well i jumped on that peice of metal, could've killed the guy underneath but used it as a kind of ramp to get up onto a metal fence that surrounded the school, climbed over it without a problem, it was pretty easy, i'm a great climber.

I remember being outside one of the fences looking into the school, into one of the class rooms. I saw her inside doing work, heh, she didn't care at all. From this point again i have a blank out in time, next thing i know i'm in the school again, lunch. There i saw my freind "where were you? and why is your nose bleeding?"

Again I can't remember anything else, i'm climbing over the fence at the back of the locker bay, and i'm running again, i closed my eyes for a second, and the next thing i know i'm somewhere else completely.

These skips are wierd, blanks in my memory. These are just times where i'm doing something and then i'm doing something else, i have the feeling in my mind about what i'm doing. No matter what happens when one of these blank moments happens, i get a blood nose, but i still continue on the thing i was doing before i gain active consciousness. When i jumped the fence, i didn't stop half way and wonder what i was doing, i just kept going. I couldn't stop.

Continuing on, my story is coming to a close now, that last skip was defianatly the worse. I'm in my room, it's late at night now. By the sounds of it my mums coming, i can hear her footsteps traveling towards my room. The barged open, this is when i guessed she found out about what happened at school. I couldn't tell, what she was saying everything was muffeled time seemed to go slow for a while. My body then acted of itself, i can't stop it, i'm like viewer, everything thats happening... it's out of my control.  She slammed the door shut. 

Again i don't know what i was thinking, but i could feel it, the intense rage building up inside me, it horrorfied me, i always said that for everything that happened to me through my entire life, i locked it inside me, and at his point it was let out. I went i remember finding a way out of the house without a front door i'd been planning this for a while, the window i have. I took of the fly screen, ripped it out of the window, i then unwinded the glass on the window opening it. I rememebered sliding through, i was on the roof, outside it rained heavily. It was a stream of water, interupted in short intervials for the next drop to dart down onto me, and numb my skin. I felt myself loosing balance, i can't do anything about it, life is like a dream, i can't control it. I begin to slip about to land on my back on the tin roof, if i do i'm likely to fall off the roof all together, i do slip but as my back is about to hit the roof. I went blank again.

Here i am now, in the present sitting outside, in the rain, music playing, earbuds in. Bloody nose, and my left arm seems to be broken. The music that's playing... i couldn't help but whisper the lyrics to myself as the it plays.

"Well it rains and it pours when your out on your own

if i crash on the couch can i sleep in my clothes

'cause i've spent the night dancing i'm drunk i suppose

if it looks like i laughing i'm really just asking to leave."

"I've really been on a blender and it shows...

so why don't you blow me, a kiss before she goes?"

I get up, and i'm now walking over to wards the seats outside in the outside family room. I look inside, my Mum, she's on the computer inside, she's doing work stuff, but she's crying...

The rain dribbled down my neck, the streams of water from the corners of the roof come landing on my shoulders, as i stare looking inside.

i knock the chair outside it makes a loud noise as it grinds along the ground, i think she heard it, she turns around. Nothing.

Then i go blank again. 

"Give me a shot to remember"

Here i am now, it's dark, i feel deep sorrow, i feel strong guilt, next to me is a picture of "Her" i can't do anything, i can't control myself, my hand it reaches out for the object sitting on top of the picture, it's dark, very dark i can hardly see the object. I'm in a dark room, illuminated only by the moonlight coming in from the window.

"and take all the pain away from me"

The object is picked up, i feel it in my hand, i can't control it though, the object shines in the moonlight, the sharp silver reflects a light onto the walls from the reflection of the moon through the window. The shine dissapears, and the blade comes towards me and as the gap's closing i'm continuously trying to pull away, but it just won't stop. 

I stop trying, and i accept it. This was the end... my end.
