The Monitor Masquerade

Mini Boss

Username Unavailable's POV

Homework sucked ass. I had a high enough grade in English IV that I didn't need to do the study guide but MacBeth was proving to be harder to understand than I imagined. I got most of the way through it before I heard the knock at the door. My stomach flipped a little knowing I was going to see Andy. God Anya, get over yourself. I also almost face planted into the door, but luckily I stopped myself just in time. I took a deep breath and fixed my hair. When I opened my door I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt my body whole freeze. I felt this hot sensation burn the color right out of my skin. I felt a pressure on my chest that made it hard to breath. I wanted to punch him. I wanted to punch that grin right off his smug face.

"Hey Anabella."

"What the fuck do you want?"

"I want to talk to you. Tell you I love you."

"Honey is that Andy?" My mom yelled from the kitchen.

"It's no one!" I yelled back and squeezed myself outside, shutting the door behind me.

"I'm no one?" We were a little too close so, I moved out to the driveway regretting not grabbing a jacket or slippers.

"How did you find me?"

"A little birdie told me." He smiled. I didn't understand until I realized the only person who knew where I lived and knew about Travis was Felix. I felt like I could throw up right there. "Come on baby. I know you still love me."

"Are you out of your fucking mind right now??" I yelled. In the distance I heard a door close but it sounded far away from me. "You can't just show up to my house!!"

"Baby I'm showing you I'd do anything for you! I came all this way for you!"

"I didn't ask you too!"

"I did it because I love you!"

"Well I don't love you!" Out of the corner of my eye I saw Andy starting to walk towards me. I panic and shook my head and he stopped. The last thing I needed was for Andy to get involved in this too. "You're acting crazy."

"Ana come on just talk to me."

"No way."

"You should be grateful. I ditch school to come see you."

"I don't care what you did. You're either going to leave or I'm going to call the police." He took a step forward and I took three back. I didn't want him near me let alone close enough to touch me. I tried to look brave but I couldn't. I could feel myself closing off, my shoulders hunched and me looking towards his feet. I didn't want to see what was going on in his sick eyes.

"Really? You're going to call the police. I know you baby. You're aren't going to do shit." There was another door closing. This one was louder, closer, more deadly. I knock on the door I closed a long time ago. 

"Travis, go away."

"Make me Ana." He came closer and I heard the door again. That was it. The door broke down. Everything came piling out.

"Fuck you." I said through gritted teeth.

"What did you say bitch?" Travis came forward and shoved me. I staggered, almost losing my balance. I heard a gasp and looked over to Kelli. Taylor and Andy came towards me.

"HEY JACKASS! LEAVE MY GIRLFRIEND THE FUCK ALONE!" Jason sprinted towards us. Andy pulled me back behind him.

"JASON!!" Kelli yelled. "GET BACK HERE!!" It was the loudest I've ever heard her.

"I think you should leave." Andy said calmly.

"What are you going to do about?" Travis bucked up.

"Well-"

"You going to punch me?"

"I-"

"No! But I will!" Jason said as he decked Travis sending him off kilter. Taylor quickly pulled Jason back and walked over to Travis.

"He was 14, so I suggest you leave before you see what someone your own age can do." Travis bucked up once again to Taylor, who returned the favor. His nose looked broken. "You look smart. I'd use your head if I were you."

"You her new guy?"

"No I'm just a friend." 

"Huh." Travis said taking a step back and running his tongue over his top front teeth.

"Goodbye." Taylor said. Travis looked over at me and I waved at him. He finally got the hint and started walking towards his car, wiping off the blood from his nose. We all watched as he got into his car and drove off. Once he was down the road a kid around Jason's age ran up to him, almost tackling him.

"Dude you just broke his nose!!"

"I know did you see that??!"

"You're such a badass!!"

"Hell yeah I am!!" They kept shouting and jumping while Kelli came rushing to me.

"Was that Travis?"

"Yeah..."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm okay."

"Did he hurt you?" Andy came over and put his arm around me.

"I just need a minute." I pulled him off. He looked hurt but I felt suffocated. "I need some space you guys." Everyone took a step back and Taylor grabbed Kelli's hand. 

"Is there anything you need?" Kelli's eyes were calm for once. She knew what I was feeling.

"I-I don't know...I...that was a lot and I feel closed in."

"We can go for a walk with you?" Taylor suggested. A walk did sound nice. 

"Let me get shoes on." I said as I went back into my house.

"Honey who was that?" My mom asked when I went into the kitchen.

"I'm going for a walk with Kelli, Taylor, Andy, Jason, and Jason's friend."

"Who was outside?"

"I'll tell you everything when I get back."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah. It's fine. Just need some air, thats all."

"Okay, well, dinner will be done in about twenty minutes."

"I'm just going to the end of the road and back." I said as I finished putting on my jacket. My mom came up to me and pulled me into a hug.

"I love you sweetie."

"I love you too mom." I tried not to shove her off. I didn't want anyone to touch me. I felt like I couldn't breath again. 

"I'll be back mom." I pulled away and looked into her worried eyes.

"Okay just...be safe."

"I will mom."

"I love you." She repeated.

"I love you too." I forced a smile and went out the door.
