Chapter 25

Travis p.o.v.

I got bored about half way through the day so I went to see Aphmau. I walked up to her door and knocked. But Aphmau didnt answer. It was an older man. "Who are you?" He barked. "Im Travis. I was looking for Aphmau," I smiled, waving. "Oh! Yes, Travis.... Im Aphmaus Grandpa Richy," He held his hand out. "Is she here?" I shook his hands. "She went to the park earlier. Probably still there..." He explained, muttering the last bit. "Mmmk, thanks," I thanked. He nodded and shut the door. I walked to the park. 

I now sat in the park. Aphmau wasnt anywhere I could see.. I began to worry. WHat if she was mugged? Or held hostage? Or held for ransom? Or-Or killed?! I stopped myself there. No more of these thoughts. Shes here somewhere. Just hiding....? Yeah! Hiding! And I'm the seeker. I stood up and began to look for the ravenette girl.

Aphmaus p.o.v.

Dream/Flashback~ I looked at ~~~. His black hair blowing not only his tears but his tears too. "I'll come back," He choked out. His parents gave him a look. "We are moving because of her... I dont like you hanging out with her.... ~~~~'s, ~~~~', and ~~~~~~'s parents have agreed, your a bad influence on our sons. We never want you near any of them again. You understand?" ~~~'s Dad said to our faces. The tears cascaded down my cheeks. "I HATE YOU GUYS!" ~~~ fumed. But I tackled him into a hug. "This isnt goodbye," I said. He cried into my shoulder. "No, I'll come back," He replied. Then they drove to the airpost. Thats the summer I lost the people who mattered to me most and decided I was cursed and dont deserve love..... ~Dream/Flashback

I blinked as I awoke. I felt broken. My clothes were soaked and when I looked I realized I was just delusional. No liquid was touching my clothes. I tried to sit up but failed. I was bleeding from the head though. The pain was there. And it hurt like the nether. I grunted and my head began throbbing. But it was too much.... I almost fell unconscious.... but a voice brought me up. "Aphmau? Where are you?" The voice was distant but there. 

I couldnt repond. I felt like if I did, I would vomit. So I just lied there, praying. Please, if someone is seeing this, I know you dont like me, just take pity on me this once.... Please! I opened my eyes to see Travis looking in on where I was. He didnt seem to see me. So, I moved my foot. He stared. I mustve been too hidden by shadows. 

I moved my arms this time. He came running over. "A-Aphmau?!" He squeaked, wide eyed. I fake smiled. Right now, it hurt to breath, so Im gonna focus on that. "Who did this?! I will kill them in a heart beat," He growled, whipping his head around. But when I went back to think about what happened before I was here, all I remember is leaving the house. Then Im here. Now Im confused. 

He went to move. I grabbed his shirt. He looked at me, fuming. I immediately let go and shrunk back. Something seemed different about Mad Travis. He seemed more aggresive. It was scary. And, in the moment, in a time where it hurts to breath, I was scared. Scared for my life. Scared I was gonna try to stop him and he would hurt me. Or leave me here while he looked for the person who did this. 

Im not gonna die like this, am i? Im not gonna die here. Not now... I die on my own terms and right now, thats not what I need. I need to stop Traivs right now. I released his shirt. I winced as I opened my mouth to speak. But ended up shutting my mouth. 

"A-aphmau... Im so sorry.... I didnt mean to get mad," He went back to the Travis I know. I didnt move . "Please, Aph," He begged. So, I slowly inched close. But pain shot through me and I frooze, blinking back tears. So, He scooted closer to me, putting my head on his lap. He stroked my hair, calming me. I felt like a cat....

A couple od hours later, at Travis home

I sat on Traivs' couch. His mother had been a nurse before she died and he learned some stuff from her. He said I just have a minor head wound and I was lucky nothing was broken. When I asked why I dont remember a bit, he said it was probably minor amnesia as a result from whree the head wound was. I nodded. So now, we sat on the couch. I gazed at him. My head was still throbbing but it was less now. He said that was from the blood loss but I'll be fine. My stomach had hurt simply because the skin was now covered in a bruise. 

He caught my gaze and blushed. I tackled him into a hug. "Thank you," I said. "Its fine... It wasnt very much. Who ever did this isnt very strong," He replied. I nodded. "Still, you've just been there for me. Through the thin... I just need to thank you," I smiled, pulling away. "No problem," He smlied. 

We sat in silence for a moment. "We should get some ice cream," Travis blurted. "Yeah!" I cheered. We got up and walked to the ice cream parlor. I noticed only 2 other groups were in the parlor. I didnt look was in them. We went to the front and I ordered Cookies 'N' Cream. Travis ordered Strawberry. We sat in the corner table. We just talked and joked. The endorphins helped my headache. 

Dante p.o.v.

I was eating ice cream with Garroth, Laurance, Vylad, Zane, and Zenix when Aphmau and Travis entered. They didnt seem to see us but we saw them. And we watched tehm order and sit in teh corner. Aphmaus back was to us. She was laughing and so was Traivs. I looked at the guys. They were fuming. 

Zanes p.o.v.

I watched Aphmau laugh with that Travis guy. She was really happy. But anger bubbled and burned inside of me. I was jealous of him. He was making her so happy. And waht pained me was that wasnt me. I need her to be mine. I cant live if shes not mine. Looking at her, I dont know how I couldve ever hurt her. But the more I thought, the more I realized, its because I've liked her all along. Ive always kinda thought she was pretty. But I guess the fact I thought that didnt transfer into my actions. 

Then Travis excused himself and went up to the front. He seemed to be getting more ice cream. I turned to the guys. "One of us needs to go over there," I said. "I'll go," Laurance said. We nodded and watch him go over there. 

Laurances p.o.v.

I stood behind her and began talking. She seemed to be ignoring me. "-Its fine... but please just think on it," I finished she was muttering something. I went back. 

Aphmaus p.o.v.

I was listening to music after Travis left to get more. I couldnt hear anything but the song. I muttered along.

 "Let's try to make it right, don't wanna start a fight
And we're so sorry if we give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as you survive the night

The nights
If you survive the nights
Oh, I'll take you away
To our enchanting land of play

Forgive me for being suspecious
Mischief's not on my brain
We're programmed to be pragmatic
If someone messes with the mainframe
It's not that we don't trust you
We do!
(We love you too)
It's just that, here's at Freddy's
...We have a few rules"

Thats when Travis returned. I paused my music and took of my head phones. We continued to talk. But this time on the subject of music, since he noticed my head phones.
When we finished and I went home. 

{WHOS KNOWS THE SONG? I do! But if anyone gets it by Tuesday, I'll give you a shoutout. Also, I wrote this yesterday but got busy with anime and forgot to post. Thats why its going up now... Sorry!  (;'w')/  <-that looked better in my head}
