Save Me - A ForthBeam Fanfic

Chapter 2

Another day, another mask to put on. Always the same routine. Everyday for three years now.

The stupid alarm went off again. This time, he opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling and contemplated whether to get up and go to school or ignore everything and bear Ai'Kitty's never ending nagging both on the phone and on the other side of the wall. He decides to pick the first one even though he didn't want to. It's better to lose sleep than lose hearing with Pha and Kit's combined nagging.

He typed the alarms password and it instantly went dead. His phone dinged indicating he has LINE message. He lazily got up and took his phone from the side table. It was Pha.

"Beam, your meds?"

He checked the bottle. Only two left.

"I still have two." He typed in.

"Okay. We'll get a new bottle later after class. I'll go with you. Don't forget your prescription."

"Okay boss."

He sighed. He lost count of how many bottles of prescription drugs he had consumed in the last three years. But as long as the nightmares don't come back, he don't give a shit.

He got ready for school, just in time for Kit to knock on his door - more like bang on his door. He got out to a grumpy looking Kit.

"What's with the face Ai'Kitty? It's too early for a face like that. Wait! Was Ming rough last night?! Ohoo! Someone won't be walking properly tod -- aww!! ..

Beam didn't finish his words when Kit lightly punched his arm.

".. What the hell was that for?!"

"It's you who won't be walking properly today if you don't shut up. Now come on! I'm damn hungry! .. And besides ..

Kit mumbled. "that asshole doesn't have time for me"

"What?" He didn't hear him properly.

"I said let's go."

---------------

"Ai'Pha hand me your notes for Prof Auntie's class. I need to check something."

"Ask Kit. I forgot to take notes." Pha said without looking up from his phone.

"Why do you even go to school? You should just ask Nong'Yo to put you in his pockets. Don't you get cramps texting all the time?" Beam nagged.

"Okaaaaay Beam."

"Ai'Kit. Hand me your notes."

"........."

It seems Kit was zoning out and doesn't hear him calling.

"Ai'Kitty." Beam waved his hands in front of Kit's face. Pha put his phone down and shook Kit.

"Hey! What do you want?!"

"Whoa there. I'm just borrowing your notes. If you don't want to then fine."

Kit sighed. "Here." He handed Beam his notes.

"Everything alright Kit? You seem off" Pha was now paying attention.

"Yea. Whats wrong?"

"Nothing."
