Silent Heart

Chapter 2: Keep the Distance

The end of the day Suzuki waited out in the front for Chase, because he normally walked Suzuki had time. The sound of the school doors opening made Suzuko turn around in excitement thinking it would be Chase, instead it was no other than Jason.

"Lookie lookie you didn't run away." Suzuki gave an irritated look. "I thought you would be with your boyfriend right now."

"Shut up Jason its nothing like that... I don't have time to deal with you so get lost."

Jason grabbed Suzuki by the front of his shirt ready to throw his punch; when he stopped. The look is Suzuki's eyes filled Jason with fear.

"Don't...Don't you fuck around with me!" Jason pulled back his fist when his hand was caught.

"What is the problem here boys?" The principle came out, a man in his late 20's no older than 26. He released Jason's wrist and starred both boys down. "I don't care what kind of problems you two have but don't solve it on my campus."

"Yes sir." Suzuki bowed, and collected his things and walked off. Jason stood with the principle staring Suzuki down.

Suzuki was over near the west wing front doors looking for Chase, but he was no where to be found. Letting out a sigh Suzuki sat on the curb waiting, then heard the doors open behind him.

"Ahh, Chase there you are I've been looking for you every-" Suzuki stopped talking when he noticed Chase wasn't looking at him. Swinging the doors wide open came out a man with black hair and....Red eyes. He glanced at Suzuki and kept on walking.

"Come on Chase we're going home." The man bumped Suzuki out of his path.

"Hey!" Suzuki turned to Chase but Chase walked right passed him, sticking a piece of paper is Suzuki's hoodie pocket.

(Paper note) 

"Sorry, please stay away from me."

"Chase."

Chase POV:

"Who the hell was that guy Chase..? Huh I know you hear me talking to you...!"

It was the same as always, my father throwing a fit about me talking to other people.

'SMACK...!!'

"Fuckin' answer me!"

"J-Just a-a c-classmate." I tried to hold back the sobs from being hit in the face. But the tears came anyway, I didn't want him to see me cry...he'll hit me again like he always does.

"A classmate, Hah yeah right if he knew what you really were he wouldn't want to even be in the same school as you." I gulped and thought about it, since my mother passed away my father has done nothing but drink, sleep with hookers, and work, but worst of all he sells my body to grown men for them to toy with.

"By the way, Mr. Takayanagi wanted to see you again, he says its been awhile."

I felt a chill go down my spine then back up to my throat. I let a sob escape my mouth; quickly covering my mouth I sucked in a breath.

"Again, help me not AGAIN..!" My thoughts began to float away as my father drove me to his client.

....

Suzuki POV:

The next day at school I didn't see Chase all morning. I wanted to ask him what was the problem, and why he acted the way he did after school yesterday. The bell rang for us to go to 4th period; Odom Sensei's class. When I walked to my locker I ran into Chase waiting there for me, quickly I walked over to him to say hello.

"Uh, Chase about yesterday what was that note for?" He lowered his head even more and clenched his binder.

"Chase please answer me." I was getting impatient for his answer. The tardy bell rang and he tried to walk off, but I grabbed his wrist.

"Chase!" He let out a small cry of pain, he turned to me trying to hold back small sobs. Trying to break free I let him go. "I...I'm sorry."

Chase didn't look at me, he stood rubbing his wrist and wiping the tears out of his eyes. I let out a heavy sigh, this wasn't good... He probably hates me now.
