Madness

Chapter 6

 Arriving to school this morning was no different than any other day. Moani rode beside me our hands linked together being the only thing out of the ordinary. A few people whistled, and watched as we went by, only for me to shake my head.

The brown haired girl beside me was giggling madly which only made me shake my head even more. Was any of this right? Or was it that I was confused. I don't maybe it was the right thing and i was reading to far into it. I shrugged and sighed before, hopping off my board. 

"Hunny?" Ani called as we climbed off our boards before walking up the stairs. I turned to look down at her a faint smile spreading across my face as I did.

"Yes bunny?" My smile sfotened a bit as I raised a brow to look at her. 

 "Nothing, It's nothing." she quickly said before leading me into the building. we pushed our way through the crowd the sights and sounds around us seemed louder than before. It felt as If all eyes where on us. And they where.

I held back the smirk that was trying to make it's self present on ym face and just walked. It wasn't until we go to our lockers when she looked back at me. I leaned against mine, everything I needed still in my bag.

"So what are we doing tonight?" She giggled agains before moving to stand infront of me. Her arms wrapped around my waist as I looked down and smiled at her.

"Well I have to stay after school tonight. I have to speak with my Art teacher about something." She nodded before standing on her tippy toes and Kissed me softly. I I pulled her close as I rested a hand above her waist. 

I pulled away slightly so our lips were parted. "We might want to quit while we're ahead." I whsipered as my lips brushed against hers she leaned in for another kiss and I pulled away only to earn a slightly irritated 'Fine.' "Want me to walk you to class?" Ia sked her and she shook her head. 

 "I'll be fine Baby. I'll see you at lunch." She called over her shoulder. 

I paused for a moment "Baby?" I repeated still in complete shock. I shook my head fiercely as I walked down the hall. A smile forming on my face as I did so.

 Lunchtime came and I sat with my best friend and my 'Girlfriend' I assumed that's what she was. My arm around her shoulders as she leaned against my side her head resting on the front side of my shoulder.

"That's the sickest thing anyone can do." Ani said to Louis as he watched us with a sickening look. He sat there mixing his chocolate milk and pineapples and began to drink it. 

"There is something wrong inside your fucking head." I said to him. that;s when the feedback from the PA system echoed through the cafeteria, everyone falling silent. 

"Will Travis Miller please report to the front of the cafeteria" The masculine voice called and I swore. I raised a brow before kissing Moani's head and walked. A smiled on my face. Little did I know that the smile that now sat on my face would change real soon. 

I walked towards the front of the cafeteria the silence only broken by the words. "Good Luck." I heard he faint giggle of the laughter and then it wa silent again. I paused at the front door and they asked me to step in the hall. The eerie silence beginning to get to me. 

"Mr. Miller, this is Sherrif Morales. He ahs something he'd like to tell you." Our principal Mr. McKenna siad to me. i turned to rather buff looking officer beside him.

 "At about 12:30 a.m a car was found and inside was the body. I'm sorry to say this but it was your mother's body that was found." He said and i paused and looked at him.

"Is she ok? where is she?" I questioned, feeling the stining pain behind my eyes and clenched my fist trying to hold back the anger that was welling deep inside. 

"When we found the body it had beaten and stabbed multiple times. We did the autopsy and found out she had also been raped before all of this." His worde felt like a white hite branching iron was being use to brand my heart. I shook ym head. "Your mother is dead." He finished before I stepped back.

Principal McKenna reached out to console me but I moved out of his grip. I ran forward, apst them as I knocked over the metal trash cans that sat in my way.The thunder like sound caused the cafeteria to echo the children inside jumped.

I kept running as I found my way to the closest bathroom, running into the stalls I dropped to my knees and moments later I was throwing up. Afterwards I sat on the ground. My back to the walls of the stall my knees pulled up and my arms crossed infront of me. 

"Travy!" I heard the familliar shrill of Moani's voice as she rushed in Louis behind her. She dropped to her knees and tried to hug me. I felt her arms, so comforting so relaxing. "Baby, Im so sorry." She said and kissed my cheek faintly as we rocked and forth.

"Yo, ese come on. let's get you out of here. I'll bring the car upfront." He said and I didn't give a response. Moani Helped me to my feet, my eyes blood red at this point. We walked down the hall, my arms around her shoulders and her arm around my waist as she helped me to the front door. 

"It's going to be ok baby." She chided as we made our way out the door. Louis pulled his car around and they helped me in. I sat there. My face emotionless as Everything that was said began to sink in. 

 "Take me home." I finally said as we rode down the street Moani turned around in her seat slightly to smile at me. But i couldn't find the strength to smile back at her. 

"It's going to be alright." She chided again trying to soothe the emotions that boiled deep inside me. When we came to a red light she climbed across the arm rest and into the back seat, before straddling my waist and laying her head on my chest. "I'm here for you Travis." She kissed my cheek softly and my arms wrapped around her. 

"Thank you."
