Possessed High

Chapter 14 : Regrets

Iris

 Knowing that Mason was one of them made me tear up. As my eyes were getting more wet, I was getting weaker. No. No. Don't tell me this is true.

"Iris!" I looked up and Riley was looking at me. I looked behind myself and saw the rest of my group fighting for their lives. I couldn't handle it anymore. I raised my fist into the air and punched Mason on the forehead. Then he stopped moving. I'm sorry, Mason. I let go of Mason and looked at Riley and then turned around to look at the others. They were all tired and some sat on the ground.

"What did you do?" Riley asked. I kept looking at Riley.

"Iris!" Riley yelled at me and I stood up and walked away.

"IRIS!" Riley yelled and grabbed my wrist. "Why did you do that?" She yelled at me even louder which made me angry.

"I couldn't stand it!" I yelled at her.

"I couldn't either but it didn't mean that I had the strength to punch him in the face!" She yelled back.

"Well, you have to deal with it!"

"I fucking can't! He's my boyfriend!"

"And he was my fucking crush!"

"It doesn't mean that he'll love you!" Riley yelled and I looked at her with a hurt face.

"I know that! That's why I fucking saved you! That's why I came here to fucking help you! And this is what I fucking get? Since he's dead he won't EVER love you!" I yelled back and Riley burst into tears.

"And what else can we do?" I yelled at her. "We had NO other choice! We can't change him back and you know that! How the fuck can we change him? And you know how hurtful it was to see him like that!" Riley let go of my wrist and fell to her knees.

"I know," Riley said and cried even more. Tears ran down my face. Everyone looked at me as I looked at them.

"I didn't mean to do that. I thought it would knock him out," I said and wiped my tears. I began to talk again. "You know what? It's not a time for a sad moment. We've got to escape. We can't sit here and cry over people dying. We have to live for the sakes of our lives. Everyone will die someday but right now isn't a good time. We have to let it go right now," I said. Everyone stood up and nodded, including Riley.

"Clean up your tears, and let's fight those possessed people for what they've done to others," I said and we all cheered. We ran through the halls and fought some possessed people and out of nowhere we heard a gunshot."

"Shit, the fuck was that?" Tiffany asked.

"I don't know but we should head towards that sound," I said and we all ran.

We turned around the corner and saw a lot of possessed people and some normal people attacking the possessed ones. My group fought the possessed ones but we knocked them out.

I looked around the school and saw almost everyone outside. I saw Riley standing by herself and I walked towards her. She saw me coming and grinned.

"Hey, I'm sorry," Riley said. I smiled.

"It's fine. I mean, I don't really hate you but I just hate that you get mad sometimes," I said.

"You know what I wonder about?" She asked.

"What?" I said.

"No matter how much I yell at you or be rude to you, you always seem to look like you forgive me," she said and I smiled.

"It's a habit. No matter how much people hurt me, I always forgive them because they probably did something good for once. Even for evil people," I said.

"You did the right thing to kill Mason, you know?" She said. I chuckled.

"I'm trying to believe that," I said.

"If he was alive, I could've told him to date you instead," she said.

"No it's fine. I'll find a guy on my own someday," I said and smiled while looking at her. Then it went silent between us. I kept standing next to Riley because I felt bad for her being by herself.

Riley and I sat in the grass and looked around to see if Dream and the crew were outside yet. As I looked at the front of the school I saw Mason. I stood up immediately looked at the front of the school again to make sure it was Mason.    

"Riley!" I said and she looked up. I smiled at her and said, "Your Prince Charming is alive." Her eyes widened and stood up. She looked at the front door and saw Mason.

"Mason!" She yelled and ran to him. I stood back and watched them hug. Yeah, it hurts to see them hug but they were happy together, right? I smiled at the fact that they hugged for a long time and I looked down. Don't cry Iris. They're meant to be. I thought to myself and looked up again.

I walked away and tried to find Dream and them. Haven't seen them ever since we split up. I went inside the school to help scan the school and tell everyone that it was now safe.

As I was walking, I saw Elly and Sam hugging. I smiled and walked outside. I saw Vinny talking to Natalie. Dream was nowhere to be seen. She's going to be okay.

"Hey, where's Dream?" I asked Kelly.

"I don't fucking know and don't care," She smirked and walked away.

"Thanks for helping," I replied and walked away.

I was walking until I heard someone call my name.

"Iris!" I turned around and saw Riley walking up to me.

"Oh, hey," I said and smiled. I saw Mason after her.

"Thanks for everything," she said. I was confused but I pretended I understood.

"It's fine," I said. Riley grabbed my hand and put something in my hand.

"I found that on your locker," she said and I opened up my hand. It was a necklace that said Iris. I smiled and looked up at Riley.

"I wasn't planning on telling you but since you saved Mason well, kind of, I decided to give it to you," she said and held onto Mason's hand.

"Thank you," I said. It was confusing. I don't have a necklace like this. So, someone did  buy this for me?

I kept my mind off the necklace and tried looking for Vinny and them. Seriously. Why do I keep on getting lost? I walked into the building because I wanted to grab my backpack from my locker.

As I was making a turn in the building, I bumped into someone and my necklace fell off my hand. Shit.

"I'm sorry. I should've looked where I was going," I said and looked up. It was a guy. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Oh, it's fine," he said. I bent down to get my necklace but he got to it first and handed it to me. "I'm Kay," he said.

"I'm Iris," I said.

"Yeah, I've seen you around school," he said. I was confused.

"Huh?" I said and he chuckled.

"Ah, it's nothing," he said and we talked while walking out of the school.

The next few days, everything went to normal and no one talked about it. The weird part was that me and Kay were getting along pretty well and it was nice. Except for the fact that I may be starting to like him but he doesn't need to know that yet.

Anyways, my main point is that yeah, people may hurt you or talk shit about you but for me, who cares? Why should you make revenges when you could forgive and just make peace? It's better to forgive than to make revenges because the more problems there are, the less peace we'll have.
