If It Never Happened ⚣

Chapter 28: November 2nd 2016

True P.O.V

I walked into the cafeteria, hearing other children eating and socializing, I walked all the way across the room, rubbing one of my arms attempting to comfort myself. I walked outside, where very few people were eating since it was getting pretty cold. Fall was slowing turning to Winter, leaves were already littering the ground with its colorful array of orange, green, red, and yellow colors.

I walk over to a tree and sit underneath it. I pull my headphones out and put them in my ears, music that was playing earlier continued.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, the reason I hold on. ooh, ooh, ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone. Funny you're the broken on but I'm the only one who needed saving."

I shiver in the cold wind, as I notice that everyone else is already gone back inside, but I make no move to leave my spot on the floor.

I rest my head against the bark of the tree, making me feel better ever so slightly.

"'Cause when you've never seen the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving."

I watch the minutes tick by before I pulled myself up and walked off the school campus not feeling like continuing with the day, not that anyone is going to notice that I left school either, most teachers forget I'm in their class until after I come back the next day and say I was absent.

"Not really sure how to feel about it, something in the way you move. Make's me feel like I can't live without you, it takes me all the way, I want you stay."

I continue to walk, unconsciously crying. The streets were empty, hardly any cars driving by, not that only one would stop for a blonde haired kid.

I pull the earbuds out of my ears, not wanting to listen to the music anymore.

I walk home, not having anywhere else to go.

I didn't even look to see if my parents were home, I simply didn't care.

I pull my key from my pocket, going in the front door, something I never do, or I hardly do.

I wish I had checked cause when I walk into the house, I found my mother and father talking to the one and only, Alister Clenevence.

I was hoping my parents wouldn't notice me, but of course, they did. My mother looked surprised to see me home so early, cause it was 1:14, that turned into a glare in my direction.

My father, however, had a blank face the whole time, but his eyes were quickly filling with anger.

My mom stood up walking really close to me, my eyes dropped to the ground. She stopped in front of me, grabbing my chin ruffly, I winced slightly.

"Why," She hissed at me. "Are you home early?! You should be at school!!!" She started getting louder, though it wasn't necessary for her to yell at me about it, I would have been just as afraid if she had whispered it to me.

I didn't answer, I knew I wasn't supposed to, she wasn't expecting an answer either, I was told to never talk if dad was meeting with someone, especially if they were 'important' even my younger siblings had these rules. 'Important' people were usually in the mafia or worked for/with dad and his trading gun business.

And because I didn't answer, she backhanded me across the face. My face turned to the side. From the corner of my eye, I saw Alister's face register a moment of complete shock before he quickly covered it up.

"Get to your room!" She said pushing me towards the stairs with a punch of her fist. "Your father and I will discuss you leaving school later!" My mother snapped at me, and I rushed out of the room quickly not wanting to face my mother and FATHER'S wrath, especially in front of Alister, though I couldn't tell you why it bothers me so much for him to see mine at my lowest moment.
