Maddox's POV:

For the first time in my life, I was speechless. I stared down at my phone blankly and then back over at the now peacefully sleeping Chaise. It hadn't been my mom on the other end of the line, and at that point I didn't even know how to feel about what he'd done.

Half of my body wanted to climb on top of him and strangle him, while the other half just felt dead and lifeless inside. I felt numb and my stomach churned, so much so that I had to get up and run to the bathroom to throw up.

After I'd done so, I slipped on my clothes and made my way out the door without another sound. There was nothing I wanted to say to Chay at this point. Nothing good, at least.

I called a cab and went straight home. Despite it being past midnight, my dad was up watching tv. As soon as I walked in, he nodded curtly to greet me.

"Hey dad," I said quietly. The voice that escaped my lips barely sounded like my own.

"Hey, Maddox! A kid stopped by here today looking for you. I think his name was Destiny?"

"Destery... His name is Destery. I've told you this before." The way he said destiny put another pang in my gut. I didn't even wait for my dad to respond before I sprinted up the stairs and up to the bathroom. I threw up yet again, this time dry heaving. I hadn't even realized it, but I hadn't eaten all day. My head throbbed and the guilt I had pushed aside for a week was eating away at me. I could hardly even think about anything except how much Des might be hating me right now.

No, not might. He definitely hated me.

I regretted having gone to Chaise's house at all. I felt pathetic for letting myself break down so easily. In fact, I'd never acted so small in my life. I'd never felt like that with anyone before, and yet that fight with Des drove me straight over the edge into oblivion.

I laid down in my bed and closed my eyes. Thinking about this when I couldn't even talk to Destery to apologize wasn't helping at all. And so I drifted off to sleep.

Destery's POV:

I didn't allow myself to cry when I got home. In fact, I didn't have the chance to because everyone in the family was in a good mood.

Apparently Megan had gotten into Student Government and couldn't contain her happiness. Tyler sat beside me at the dinner table, poking my cheek to get my attention and piss me off once more. My parents were talking about how they had a family trip planned for us in the near future. All that was happening around me forced me to push Maddox aside.

For once, I appreciated the demon child's torturing because it got my mind off of the things I didn't want to think about. "MOM, HE'S AT IT AGAIN!!" I yelled, contorting myself in my chair to try and get away from him.

Megan groaned as she had been in the middle of telling a story about how she had finally met her StuGo knight in shining armor.

My parents started at me and Tyler blankly, clearly leaving me to fend for myself like she always did.

Surprisingly, I felt drastically better by the end of dinner. In fact, all thoughts of Maddy had evaporated.

I didn't allow myself to think of him for the rest of the evening, forcing myself to do my homework and even drifting off to sleep at the desk I'd been working at. I regretted this when I woke up, my neck throbbing so badly I could hardly look left or right.

By the time I woke up, there were 7 missed calls, 4 voicemails, and 13 text messages all from Maddox. Of course I ignored them and went downstairs only to find that the house was deserted. My parents had gone to work, my siblings to school. And nobody had bothered to wake me in time to go. I sighed and began preparing breakfast for myself when the doorbell rang.
