CHAPTER 9

Josh
°°°°°°°°°°

As soon as school let out, I hopped into my car and sped to Tyler's house. Ive been itching to see him all day.

I park in front of his house and walk up to his door. As soon as I knock, his mom opens the door. She looks at me in disgust and displeasure but quickly covers it up, but not fast enough because I still saw it.

She now has on a fake cheery smile, "Oh! Hello Joshua! I didn't expect any visitors today! How......nice it is to see you! Now what do you want?" She says the last sentence in a hurry.

"Its nice to see you too Mrs. Joseph, I just need to see Tyler for a minute, if he is here, that is." I say politely, although I feel like screaming at her.

She clicks her tounge and shakes her head slowly. "I'm afraid that will not do, Tyler is-er-sick! Yes thats right! He's sick, and I don't want you to be ill either, it is awfully contagious."

I scoff at her, that was such a pathetic excuse I would have choked on my own laugh if it weren't for the fact that she was keeping Tyler away from me.

I try again, "Well, Mrs. Joseph, with all do respect, Tyler looked very healthy this morning. I must admit, that virus is very good at hiding itself, what sickness did you say he had again?"

She looks frustrated with my questions. She thinks for a moment before speaking. "He has a low fever, it came up this afternoon, I had to pick him up from school."

I have her trapped in her own lie! Tyler left this morning, and he looked just fine! "What time was it when you picked him up?"

She didnt look ready for that question. "1-ish, maybe?" She says in a quiet, squeaky voice.

Once again, I scoff at her and roll my eyes. "Your a damn liar. God, I can't even stand to look at you, your disgusting!"

She looks enraged. "You cannot say God's name in vain! God hates you, you fag! I will not let you poison my son with your ways!"

All of the sudden she runs at me and  grabs me buy my hair. I scream in pain and try to push her off of me but she grabs my neck and starts choking me. I dont want to hurt her, but she's not really giving me a choice. I flip our positions so now I'm holding her back and she is struggling to try to hurt me.

She finds a way out and runs behind me. Before I can even turn around she kicks me in my back which causes me to fall forward and land on my chest hard. My breath is knocked out of me, and while I'm still on the floor struggling to breath, I can fairly hear her in the kitchen getting something. I
Dont pay muck attention to it, I'm more concentrated on why there is red stuff on my fingers.

I look at my fingers. This is blood! Where is it coming from? I feel around my body. Nope, nothing here....or there......or there? Where is it coming from? I then feel around my forehead. When I feel the left side of my head, near my temple, everything hurts. Oh....god this stings. Feels like hell. I look at my fingers again. Thats a lot of blood......

I look around to find her a couple feet away from me. She is just staring at me with a blank expression on her face. She has her hands behind her back......

I try to speak to her. "He-hey Mrs. J-joseph, I won't t-tell anybody about t-this! Its okay, I f-forgive you! We c-can put this all behind, like it n-never happend!"

She creeps closer to me with the same expression on her face. "You know, Josh, sometimes, you just talk to much, you know? Its annoying." She states blankly.

At this point, she is right above me, hands still behind her back. I stare up at her in terror, or betrayal, I dont know.

She slowly removes her hands from behind her back and when she does,

  My.

Heart.

Stops.
