Part 53: screaming it out

Shawn:

💞next week💞

Tomorrow is the party at Cody's house.
I asked Brian last week if he wanted to come with me so I'm picking up both him and Adriana.
Tomorrow night I'm hanging with my best friend, and the love of my life.

"Hey. I will make this really quickly I promise." I whispered as I approached Adriana in the hallway. We're still on that deal where I need to stay away from her at school because I don't want Cody or Reece to come near her and hurt her.
"Come with me."
"Where are we going?"

I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me down the hallways to the janitors closet. "Get in." I pushed her in, gently, before looking up and down the hall and stepping inside.
"I'm sorry but I couldn't control the urge any longer." I said, grabbing her face in my hands and crashing my lips to hers. I felt her smiling in to the kiss after her surprised reaction faded away and her hands grabbed a hold of my jacket, pulling me closer to her.

"I love you so much."
"I love you too."
She kissed me one more time before we both stepped out in to the hallway again. "I'll see you after school." I said to her and we created a big space between us as we walked in the same direction.

"Shawn. Dude, I've been looking all ov- hey Adriana." Cody smirked as she passed by. She didn't say a word though.
Just kept her cool.

"Hey, I'm talking to you widow." He laughed, grabbing a hold of her arm and pulling her towards him. "Cody don't." I said and he looked at me weirdly. "Aah Adriana. Such a masterpiece of a broken heart." He brushed a piece of hair out of her face. "Don't touch me!" She pushed him away.
"Hey! Treat me like that again and you'll end up right where Mason is."

"Yeah, tell me about that Cody. Common. How does it feel? How does it feel to kill your own friend? Push him off the side to fall on the tracks, watching him as the last bit of life drained from his eyes and you were there, laughing at how pathetic he looked."
"Shut your mouth!"

But she didn't do that. Clearly she's been holding this up for a long time. Keeping it bottled up inside of her.

"Do they know? Does the school know about your criminal record, how you killed a student in cold blood. How do you sleep at night? Do you see him like I do? Do you see him lying out on the tracks, drowning in his own blood with the two last breaths he ever can take. Do you see the light leaving his eyes as the tear rolls down his cheek? Knowing that it's the last time you'll ever hear him laugh, see him smile, hear him speak! Huh! Tell me!" She yelled, her eyes pouring emotion out on her cheeks as the halls started filling up with students and teachers, watching the scene enrolling.

"I said shut up!" He pushed her back, making her fall to the ground and she stayed there, pooling in her tears. "Adriana!" I exclaimed, rushing up to her and helping her up.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I was worried about her, I don't want her to get hurt by my stupid friend. "Yeah. I'm fine." She sighed.

By now Cody ran off and the halls were emptying from all the students that watched the argument.

"Can you take me home please?" She whispered as I cupped her cheeks, wiping away her tears. "Of course."
"And I mean it... Home." I smiled when I realized what she meant. "Lets go home." I whispered, taking her hand in mine as we walked down the hall to my car outside.

The ride to the cabin was silent, she just kept on staring out of the window as some lonely tears still rolled down her cheek. "Hey, are you sure you're okay?" I placed my hand over hers as I parked in front of the house.

"I have to tell you something I've been hiding from you." She sniffed hard before clamping her hand over her mouth.
Crying again.

"What is it?"
"Come with me." We got out of the car and walked inside. I'm curious to know what it is that she's been hiding. "Please sit down."
"If this is going where I think it is then you need to stop."
"No, trust me it's... its not what you think." She sighed.
I'm really confused now.

I don't know what to expect.
