Madness

Chapter Eight

SHADOW’S P.O.V

I was entering the cafeteria when I saw Patch with Art and this other blue haired boy, my jealousy spiked. I didn’t want Patch going all over other guys, unless.. It’s me of course. I saw he looked back at me; I blushed a bit looking away. I didn’t want him to know I was jealous. I saw him get up and walk towards me.
“Hey Shadow” He said giving me a smile extending his arms out at me.
“Hey Patch” I said eagerly, smiling giving him a hug.
“How are ya cutie?” He said pulling me to an empty table.
“Fine, as always just kind of bored” I said looking at him in eye.
“Well we could always go do something to un-bore ourselves” He said, something told me it wasn’t so good. But I wasn’t going to let him take advantage of me either.
“Yeah, like what do you want to do?” I asked, wondering what he had in store.
“Oh well I don’t know maybe we can get a go outside and learn about each other.” He asked.
“I’d like that” I said smiling; I really did actually wonder what Patch did to get in here.
“Well c’mon let’s go! Don’t want to waste any time.” He said grabbing my hand and leading me out of the cafeteria.
“Patch?”
“Yes, Shadow?” He said in a low deep voice.
“What did you do to get sent here?” I asked gently, I saw his eyes go dark. He lowered his head a bit, and then lifted it back up.

PATCH’S P.O.V

I lowered my head, I strangely trusted Shadow. I don’t know why him, but I just did. I never trust people.. Why is Shadow any different? I took a deep breath and lifted my head.
“Please don’t think badly.. I’m here for killing someone.. Not purposely, but because I hallucinate. I killed my one true Love.. And after that I was so sick of everyone, I  sexually harassed people. But don’t worry I won’t hurt you. I promise” I whispered.
“I don’t think badly, all of us that were sent here has something to be here for, and I doubt it’s good. Some might be more.. Worse than others but that’s okay because we’re all human.” He looked at me and said it with such a passion in his voice. I grabbed him and kissed him, he relaxed under my embrace.
Did I really want him? Or is just temporary Love.. Until I find someone worthwhile? I didn’t know but I wanted to take a chance with Shadow.. I broke the kiss, he looked at me.
“Patch.. What was that for?” He asked.
“For understanding.. I never had someone tell me that, I’ve always been excluded by everyone, which Is why I sometimes did what I did..” I said putting my head down, I felt guilt for all the things I’ve done.
“Hey.. Don’t feel bad, It’ll be okay” He said lifting my head up smiling at me. This felt so different, no one ever has ever showed me this much affection in a while. I smiled back at him.
“Shadow.. I know this might be soon.. But like, would you become mine?” I said giving him a half smile. I saw him smile.
“Of course I will!” He squealed and through his arms around me. I hugged him back tightly, Not wanting to let him go.
“Patch, do you want to spend today in my room?” He said blushing.
“I would love that” I said pecking him on the cheek. This felt like the first time I didn’t feel hatred.. It felt really good.  I let Shadow rest in my arms as I thought how this would work out.

LYRIC’S P.O.V

“So Art, I was thinking maybe you want to come sleep over? I don’t think Patch would mind anyways. And you’re surely welcome to bring Magnus.” I said hoping he would I wanted to get to know him. When I looked over at him for his answer I saw that tears fill his eyes.
“Hey.. What’s wrong?” I asked concern over taking my voice.
“Nothing, It’s just no one was ever nice to me.. And it’s well different. I like being cared for. And yes I would love to.” With that said I took his hand and ran back inside to go get his stuff.
