Testing the limits

chapter 16

        SAFE

The cops had come finally and the firefighters and they got Ashlynn and Hayes. We were back in North Carolina in no time. I hadn't heard from Ashlynn in a couple days until she came to my house. She was all upset and I asked why and tried to be helpful. Her friend had just gotten into a fight and she didn't know of they were ever going to be friends again. I invited her in and we sat in my loving room. We talked for some time until Angelina walked in. Ashlynn walked back home after that because Hayes came to get her. I found out that Angie' s old boy friend Zach was coming to visit. I didn't know what to say. I managed to say ok and she left after that. I went upstairs and fell asleep. I woke at 3:30 in the morning and called Christy.

I got out of school early and made my way to the shuttle bus. It was bringing me North to some little village where I was playing against the Rhinos. Their team really does suck. But with my help we might just loose another game. When it started I was surprised to see Angie had come. With her Ex Zach. God that kid was a walking nightmare. But its not like I talked to them. I sat for the first half and we scored 3 points. We were in the lead by 1 point. I was put in and my team was staring at me. The referee blew his whistle and we started the second half. I had the ball and drove it to the goal and scored. I was so proud of myself. Until the other team kicked the ball and had it hit me right square in the nose. I could feel the blood. Plus I couldn't breathe. I could see Zach laughing and walked  up the bleachers and punched him in his jaw. He was sent to the hospital with a fractured jaw and Angie yelled at me. I blew it off my shoulders and was suspended from the team. I Ran into my room that night and locked the door. I grabbed my blades and just cut. I was so depressed. I thought it would all end. I layed on the ground until eventually I blacked out. I woke up in  the hospital with Ashlynn and Hayes sitting at the end of my bed. Ashlynn had flowers and a teddy bear. I thanked her and  hugged her while Hayes watched me closely. When they left Angie came in. Zach was down the hall. We started talking but eventually I just told her to leave. I was upset, tired, and depressed and her talking about me punching Zach wasn't helping me at all. I went home a few days later to my mom complaining. All these hospital bills and every other bill. I walked upstairs to find my room all meat and tidy. Have my stuff gone and the secret spot in the wall where I kept my blades ripped open and in the place was just a small drawer. My mom surprisingly didn't mention it. I locked my door and basically locked the whole world out. I called Christy but she didn't answer. My brother isn't answer. And Christy' s sister didn't answer. I was done. After that the next 2 months flew by. Me and Angie were all good. But still, I was a little depressed that she still had feelings for Zach. I could see them. We had about a week left of school and I couldn't wait. I was a free man in summer. I was going to California all by myself. With Christy of course and her sister. But we were only going to Hollywood. IT'S ONLY HOLLYWOOD. We were all excited. On the last day of school I ran down the stairs to the school doors when I felt somebody grab my neck and hold me in a choke hold. I felt the gun press to my temple as a circle of students gathered around. I could see the detonator in his other hand. And I knew I wasn't going to see Hollywood.
