Forever and Always

Chapter 20

[warning, a lot of cursing]

The bell rang and everyone still continued to talk. I walked in, "okay, calm down!" I said.

A few of them took there seats and some just looked straight at me with some impatience. "So since you guys have been so good in the class for a couple of months or so, I'll be putting on a movie for you." I said and brought out three different types of movies.

The classes expression and aura changed once I announced that there would be a movie instead of working on biology or some other subject.

"There's Avatar, Grown Ups 2, and The Conjuring." I said with a excited smile on my face.

I asked the principal permission to be playing any of these movies before I got into class, thankfully he agreed. I looked over at the class, and it seemed as though I'm making them choose between their favorite food.

"Raise your hand for Avatar," five, "Grown Ups 2," half the class "The Conjuring." Whole class.

Without any other option, I put the DVD in the laptop and turned on the projector. The movie started to play on the clear board.

Even if I watched this movie how many times now, it still gave me the creeps. I mean a ghost or demon in your house, it's to much to handle! I don't know how long it took, but we watched half of the movie by now when the bell rang for lunch.

I paused the movie and got rewarded with groans from each one of them. "Why'd you stop?" One of the asked.

"It's lunch." I answered.

"Man, fuck lunch! Play it!" Another begged.

The whole class seemed to agree to what he said. 'Are they really not hungry? Or are they just to into the movie?' I asked myself and played the movie once more.

Just incase students from different classes tried to barge in on us while we were watching the movie, I locked the door on the outside. They can look through the window for all I care!

Reluctantly we finished the movie just in time. School ended and everybody seemed to be pretty scared and happy that I did that. They seem so much brighter.

Eli came up to me and gave me a huge bear hug, "thanks sweetie, I really needed that." He said.

"Ngh.... you're welcome." I said and patted his back to tell him to let go.

"Kailey let's go." Reed said in a disturbed tone.

By now the whole class left and it was just me and these two. They still don't talk, from what Matt and Seth tell me. "Where're you going?" Eli asked, suddenly concerned and a bit pissed that Reed came to me.

"Home!" Reed took a hold of my arm and pulled me to his side, "Why're you calling Kailey "sweetie" anyways!?"

"What the hell did you mean by home!?"

"None of your damn business shit!" Reed said and started to drag me along.

Eli took ahold of the arm that wasn't being held by Reed and tugged me a bit, stopping Reed from doing anything else. "What the hell?" He asked, annoyed.

"Answer my fucking question. What do you mean by home?" He said carefully, sounding even more annoyed and pissed.

"Answer mine-why're you calling Kailey "sweetie"!?" Reed retorted.

I left my head hanging, they're going to find out eventually and probably even tear my arms off my body before I go anywhere.

"She's my girl." Eli exclaimed.

My head moved up and jerked to Eli, "I don't remember saying yes or even getting asked!"

"I'm living with her." Reed ignored what I said and clenched my arm a little tighter.

I looked over at Reed and Eli. "If you guys just please-"

"So you're gonna do me like that? You're gonna cheat already!? After all I've done for you? Go fucking live with this piece of shit then! We're over!" Eli yelled and threw my arm to my side.

My heart was pounding and tears were falling out of my eyes. I didn't want it to be like this. Reed eased up on my arm.

"..." He said nothing.

My legs felt weak and I felt so tired. All of a sudden everything turned black, and the only last things I heard was Reed call my name in shock.

When I woke up, I found myself on my couch. Looked around my surroundings. Yeah, this is my place. I wanted to move up, but a pair of hands pushed me back down gently, "you're up I see. Just rest. Okay?" He said and put a bowl of soup on the coffee table.

It wasn't ramen soup. It looked like something he made from scratch. "You can eat when you feel like it." His voice was so gentle.

I just stared at him. He resembled James so much. I couldn't even imagine how. Plus, how'd he carry me from school to here? Did he call a cab? What? How's he coping with what Eli said? Is he... brothers with James? That's a stupid question! Reed lives all the way out here, and James lived in Florida. There's no way the two could've met.

But hey, doesn't hurt to ask or even think about it.
