Madness

Chapter Seven

PATCH’S P.O.V

I got out of the shower after 20 minutes and got dressed I told Shadow I would meet him in the cafeteria today. I noticed from all the fear Art had, he had forgotten Magnus; I picked him up and went out the door, looking for Art. I kind of did like him, but I know he wouldn’t want me. I didn’t find him anywhere by the dorms, I started for the cafeteria, I don’t know why I didn’t check there first, I thought to myself. As I walked into the cafeteria I saw Art blushing and talking to a blue haired guy. I felt his eyes lift from his pad, his eyes filled with fear. As I marched over there, jealousy filled me. But I wasn’t going to let him notice that.
“Hey Art.. And uh, you” I said with smile. He waved.
“Uh, hey” The blue haired guy said.
“Oh Art you left this in our room” I said putting Magnus in front of him. He smiled at the sight of him, and started writing something.
It read: “Thank you.”
“Oh, you’re welcome, my pleasure actually, but who’s your friend.” I asked, I wanted to know who he is. He looked at me with a bit of suspicion, and then started writing on his pad.
It read: “His name is Lyric, I met him today.” I read I saw him looking at lyric smiling. I burned with jealousy, I clenched my jaw.
“Okay, Well nice to meet you Lyric. I’m Patch.” I said waving. He smiled a bit, and scooted closer to Art. I clenched my jaw even more.
“Nice to meet you too” He said, looking over at Art and smiling.
“Okay well, all of this has been nice. But I have to go so, bye.”

LYRIC’S P.O.V

“Bye” I said waving, Art gave him a small wave the turned his attention to his Cute little kitten Magnus. Art started to scribble something onto his pad; he held it up to me.
It read: “Do you want to pet him?” He asked. I nodded eagerly. I pet Magnus softly, He didn’t hiss or anything. He gave a small purr, I smiled.
I looked up, looking over at Patch; he was talking with another guy. They seem to know each other. I didn’t like the vibe he gave me, when I looked over at Art; I had seen fear in his eyes when Patch was there. I shook my head; I noticed Patch kept looking over at us. I leaned over to whisper into Art’s ear.
“Hey Art, do you want to go outside for a walk?” I asked. He smiled, and nodded and started writing something onto his pad.
It read: “Yes I do, do you mind if we stop by room to leave my pad?.. I feel like I can trust you, so I’ll talk to you..” He said smiling at me a bit, it was a weak smile. I hugged him, he flinched.
“Sorry.. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just feel really happy that you trust me enough to talk to me.” I said bursting with joy. He smiled big, and stood up. We started making our way to dorms again. We stopped by the dorms and he left his things as we made our way through the park.
“So can I ask you something?” I asked. He nodded.
“Well, I wanted to know why you’re here. You don’t seem like anything is wrong with you” I said in a gentle voice, I didn’t want to upset him.” He took a deep breath and looked at me.
“I was put here because my parent’s basically didn’t want me, self-harming. Ya know.” He said quietly, as he shrugged.
“Ohh Art, you have a beautiful voice.. But anyways, I’m here for anger issues and.. I have Schizophrenia.. Will you still be my friend?” I usually lost all my friends because of that, they thought I was insane. He just looked at me and smiled. He hugged me, I was taller then him, I hugged him back.
“I’ll still be your friend.. Will you’ll still be mine?” He whispered softly onto my chest.
“Of course I will” We stayed there for a few minutes, I Loved Art, like a brother. The type I can cuddle with the one I can tell everything to. I hope he would think the same to me, I’ll do anything to keep him safe.
