Death Sounds Like A Melody (Merome)

Chapter 16 - The storm is coming

Mitch's POV

A few weeks pass. Nothing much happens what so ever. School as become a safer place for people to be at. The jocks have stopped bullying people. They know that the whole school is against them now. Everything is so perfect now. I'm in the honour band along with the music group on Thursday afternoons for a couple of hours. It's so much fun. I met a few new people too.

A 16 year old boy called Jason. The honour band has people from middle school in it too. Jason is a DJ and creates his own music sometimes. He's very talented. I didn't really get to chat to him for very long as he had somewhere else he needed to be. But it was alright because I was with Vikklan, Jess and Alesa. Matt was there but he pissed of with someone else.

Jerome and I have been going very well too. Most nights he stays over at my place. I feel so safe when he sleeps by my side. I haven't had any nightmares in a very long time. And I haven't cut myself in 2-3 months. That is an amazing feat. I've never been so proud of myself.

I'm also gaining weight. I'm no longer just a bundle of bones. My arms and stomach actually have fat on them. Im still really skinny, my rib cage and collar bones are less evident then they were before. I'm just tittering below the healthy weight line. Which is amazing because before I was really low.

I've never been so happy in all my life. My anxiety is slowly starting fade away. I've opened up so much. I'm open to anything that my friends and Jerome are willing to give. I'm laughing more. I'm talking more. I'm just...so HAPPY!!

Anyway, right now I'm waiting in English with Vikk, Preston and Adam. The teacher hasn't started the lesson yet which is weird. The others are all to my left and there is a spare seat beside me.  Suddenly the door opens. A teenage boy with long hair covering one of his eyes, walks into the room. I can't help but recognise him.

The teacher smiles and gets up. The boy stands at the front of the class as the teacher walks up to him. "Ah, I'm so glad you here! Introduce yourself to everyone." She says. The boy then locks his eyes with mine.

It's at this very moment that my world comes crashing down on me. I know those eyes, and I know that face. I know him, all too well.

"Hey guys, I'm Ty, and I'm from Canada."

It's Ty. And he is back.

You know that moment when everything suddenly becomes fucked up yet again? Yeah that's what's happening now. The blood drains from my face and eyes bulge. Fear floods my body. I thought I escaped him. I thought I was safe here. But I was wrong, oh boy was I wrong. He came back for me. I know that's why he is here. But how? How did he know that I was here!? I never told ANYONE where I was going. I just disappeared from that school.

And Ty his here, in blood and flesh.

I've never been so terrified in my life.

"Ok Ty, go sit down next to Mitch." The teacher says. I hardly process what's going on around me. Fuck I'm so scared. As Ty plops down at the table beside me, my body freezes. I look straight ahead, refusing to look anywhere near him.

The entire period passes by with me not doing any work. And that happens in the next periods until lunch too. I can't think straight. Everything in my mind is hazy other then something that echoes through my head. He's back. I can't get that thought out of my mind.
