Shock Therapy

Chapter 6

Storm's P.O.V

Alexa tried to play it cool, like she wasn't gonna say that Belle loved me. I mean, I know she liked me, but I never thought she loved me. I want to know everything about the breakup between us. But I also need to talk to Belle... decisions, decisions... I'll talk to Belle first. If I have the guts to do so.. Suddenly, Alexa was tugging on my arm again, but not pulling me somewhere.

This girls crazy.

"Storm, she's coming our way, I repeat she's coming our way!"

Well, I guess I don't have time to prepare.

She was walking our way with, as Taylyn said, her head held high, walking with attitude. I'm just going to stutter like an utter moron. I never really knew how to talk to girls, because they seem lethal, like snakes. Say something wrong, they'll bit your head off clean. But Belle was never like that. She was kind, caring, and nurturing. She wouldn't hurt a fly.

I'm kind of rethinking that now with the way she was looking at me right now.

She soon reaches us, smiling. She nods to me, and asks if she could talk to Alexa. I nod, and leave to my locker, leaving them alone. I am so confused.

What is happening?

What are they talking about?

Are they talking about me?

Is she actually crazy?

Haha! No..

She came back, smiling, and went right in front of me.

"Sorry that Alexa just pulled you out of the conversation like that, she can be kinda crazy sometimes." She giggles. 

Tell me about it.

"Well, if you need anything, just ask me, I have been here for a couple of years, so I guess I'll see you around." She still thinks i'm a new student. Oh boy, was she wrong.. She started walking away. I need to say something, quick.

"Actually, Belle, i'm not a new student." She stops in her tracks, and turns back to me.

"What do you mean?"

Well, I have been here since the 5th grade, so... I have been here for 3 years." I stated.

"Wait.. But I have never met you."

"Yes, you have." I argue.

"What are you talking about, I have never seen you in my life." She argues back.

"Look, Belle, remember when you said you came back from the Shock Asylum, or whatever? I think.. Maybe..I was the reason. I mean, we did have a rough past before, and it knocked you up pretty badly." She looked at me with shock, and surprise. It would be pretty mind-boggling if someone says that to you. She shook her head, I guess trying to shake the thoughts away, or is comprehending a better word?

"that's not possible." She said.

"Yes, it is." I say defensively

"Then say one thing that you know about me." She states, competing with me.

"Your favorite color is black." I say.

"That's a wild guess," She says, walking away.

"Your mom!" I say louder, to catch her attention. She turns back around, looking at me with disbelief.

"Your mom.. She smokes cigarettes. She just got sober, and clean from drugs that she did before. You have five sisters, with three of them that you barely know, only seeing them in their early years. Your dad, he just came back from California to get sober from drinking, as he wanted to take better care of you guys.  Your sister, the one that goes here, she was scared beyond belief when you tried killing yourself. Just like everyone else. Just like me." When i was done finishing my rant, she looked at me with tears in here eyes. I walked up to her, slowly, and stopped a feet away. I looked into her eyes, as she did. 

I felt as if I could see into her soul. So deep, and intuitive. I wrapped my arms around her, embracing her. She soon clutched on to me, as if I was her lifeline. We were just holding, as everyone was in class. we were all alone.. Just holding on..

I pulled back, and as fast as I did, she planted her soft lips onto mine. It happened so quickly, I didn't have time to react. But time slowed as our lips stayed connected, we were in our own time. We didn't have to worry, or think. Just staying in our own world. Our beautiful world.. She pulled back, and she looked into my eyes with recognition. 

"Storm?"

I laughed "Yes, Belle it's me. Marie Belle Hill, so beautiful.." Just then the principal was standing right behind us, making both of us shake in fear. He towered over us, making him have more power over us.

"How about you two lovebirds step into my office?" He sneers. Both of our eyes widen as we think of the consequences. I would take any chore, or any punishment, only for him to just not call my parents.

That seemed unlikely.

Me and Belle walk through the hallways, hand in hand, I didn't care what happens to me, as long as Belle is there with me. the principal was in the front of us, anyways. I looked at her with an apologetic look, and she smiles to me. We walk into the office, and sit in the two front chairs that face his desk. he sits down, and looks at us. 

"You guys wanna know how long I have been standing there?" We nod.

"I was there long enough to know that you guys were there, indeed kissing, and that is not allowed at this school." He states, and fold his hands together. 

"We promise not to do it again, sir, I was the one who made the first move, anyways." Belle says, always blaming herself.

"You guys promise you guys won't do it again?" He prompt.

"We promise!" We both say in sync.

"Alright, but you guys will have to keep to yourselves, do that somewhere else."

I felt the whole world release off my chest.

"But i'm gonna have to call both of you two's parents, you guys broke a school rule."

Well if I be damned.
