Madness

Chapter Nine

ART’S P.O.V

After I had agreed, He grabbed a hold of my hand and we ran inside. I can tell he was excited, I can’t blame him; I was too. We grabbed my jammies and my pillow and we went to his room. I was really worried that Patch was going to be in the room, I’m glad he wasn’t that way I didn’t have to see him.. I pushed those thoughts away because I wanted to be happy.
“So what do you want to do today Lyric? We have the whole day.” I asked looking over at him.
“Well if maybe if ask for permission we can go to the mall.” He said shrugging. I was excited, I had never really gone to the mall, I was very curious to how it looked.
“Okay let’s go!” I practically screamed, as I ran out to where we had checked in the first day I came here.
“Damn Art! Wait up!” Lyric yelled behind me trying to keep up with me. I reached the front desk and smiled at the nurse.
“What can I do for you Art?” She asked, returning the smile. A minute later Lyric finally got here, I giggled a bit.
“Damn Art, you run fast.” He said breathing hard.
“Now will someone answer me question?” We both looked at her, forgetting she had been there. But Lyric spoke up first.
“We came here to ask if we can have permission to go out to the mall.” He asked, both of us giving her puppy dog eyes. She looked at both us shaking her head laughing.
“Oh alright, but I have to go with you; because if someone is going out, you must be accompanied by an employee” We cheered, I know he didn’t mind and besides. She’s really nice.

LYRIC’S P.O.V

We cheered, I didn’t care if she was coming with I liked her since the first day.
“Well okay boys, are you two ready to go?”
“Yes!” We both screamed in union.
“Oh and before we go can I know your name?” Art whispered.
“My name is Athena, and Art you should really know you shouldn’t be shy around me. I’m here for everyone. Well, if you ever need to talk of course.
“ T-Thanks.” Art said smiling.
“Well, alrighty then! Let’s go shall we?” We grabbed her hand as she led us out, when we stumbled upon Shadow and Patch. They looked at us oddly, I tried so hard not to give a bad look at Patch, so instead I forced a smile.
“Hey, where are you guys going?”
“We’re going to the mall, but we have to be under supervision, so Athena is coming with us.”I said, already walking away.
“Can we come?” Shadow asked, I wanted to say no because of Patch. But I really wanted to know more about him.
“Sure you guys can come. It’ll be fun we can all get to know each other.”  I said grabbing a hold of Art’s hand protectively.
“Alrighty boys, let’s get going.” She said leading the way to her car. Once we got in the car we blasted Whitechapel all the way there.

SHADOW’S P.O.V

I was happy that we get to go somewhere other than just stay in that place. We all piled out of the car and ran into the mall. We all knew what store we were going to hit first, Hottopic! We always left Athena in the dust. I grabbed a skirt and bra off the rack and held it up.

“How do you think this looks on me” I asked swishing my hips back and forth. They all laughed and as Patch circled me.
“Oh darling, you look fabioo!” He said grabbing me giving me a quick kiss. I blushed and put the clothes back.
“Hey do you guys want to go get something to eat?” Lyrics suggested. We all nodded; to be honest I was hungry. So we all headed to the food court.

ART’S P.O.V

As we were walking to the food court I knew all eyes were on us. We were all holding hands.. Then all of sudden I fell.
“Watch where the fuck you’re going fag, or I’ll have to break your face” He said lifting me off the ground by my shirt. I shook my head violently and started kicking. Where was Aphrodite!
“Put him the fuck down” Lyric growled.
“Yes, I suggest you do put him down.”  Patch stepped in and so did Shadow.
“Oh look, more faggots. This should be very fun.”  The Jock laughed and slammed me against the wall.
“Okay that’s it mother fucker!” Lyric yelled as he pounced on the Jock. He started punching him over and over.
“Lyric stop! It’s fine.. I’m-I’m Okay!” I said pulling him off him.
“C’mon guys let’s go crowd is forming!” Shadow yelled as Patch pushed us out. And we all ran to Aphrodite.
“So you guys, Let’s go back I think we’ve all had enough time here.”
“Okay” We all said quickly running out

Night Time

I tossed and turned we had stayed up it was Midnight; Lyric had passed about half an hour ago. I decided to go take a walk to see if that will make me sleepy. I got up and walked out the door I knew no one would be up at this time.. I slowly walked when I fell and crashed into something I quickly got up and continued to walk.

SHADOW’S P.O.V

I heard a crash outside, Patch was asleep so I decided to go check it out I cracked the door open a bit and saw a shadow at the corner of the hallway I wonder, who would be up this late? I followed the shadow. When I turned the corner I noticed that it was Art. He was sitting on a swing alone with his head down. I walked up to him I noticed he was crying.
“Hey Art.. What’s wrong?” I asked kneeling down beside him.
“N-N-Nothing..” He sniffled.
“Oh Art, don’t give me that crap I know something is wrong. Can you please tell me?” I said grabbing him pulling him down to my lap and held him like a baby.

ART’S P.O.V

He held me in his arm’s trying to make me tell him what was wrong. But something about being with him made my heart skip a beat..
“Well.. I’ve just been feeling lonely. And I’m tired of everyone being so mean to me.. I can’t take so much pain..” I whispered and buried my face into his chest.
“I know how you feel.. But you don’t have to be alone you have us. Okay? We’ll stay here for a bit. Then we’ll go back and try to sleep okay?” He whispered into my ear, rubbing my back trying to calm me down.
“Okay..”
“Oh and by the way Art. You have a lovely voice; you should use it more often” he smiled at me.
“T-Thanks” I smiled. I think I’m starting to like Shadow.. This doesn’t seem like it’s going to be good.. And hour had passed since. We had fallen asleep. I stretched and shook Shadow.
“Shadow, Shadow. Wake up, we fell asleep” I saw his eyes flutter before they opened.
“I’m awake, I’m awake.” He said holding up his hands in surrender.
“What time is it?” He asked.
“1:00 a.m.” I whispered, He yawned and stretched himself out and shivered.
“Well we better go back, it could get colder. And we’ll get sick.” He said. I nodded and scooted off his lap. I helped him up and we walked back to our dorms.
