Pain, Blood, Love

Chapter 3

                  Claudia's POV

I walked into the empty halls of the school. I gripped Kyle's hand tighter. after he told me what his Father did to him, I was furious. I seriously wanted to inform the authorities, but I promised Kyle I wouldn't. he was scared, and I could tell. he just didn't want to admit it. I was scared too. I really did not want to lose my best friend to some, scum-bag excuse for a Father. We walked to the first blue metal door to out left; Math class.

    "You gonna be okay?" I said in the gentlest voice I could muster.

     "Yes." He said.

I could tell he wasn't. there was something off about him today. I gently wrapped my arms around his warm body. I didn't want to let go. I could feel his heart race faster, I really hoped he couldn't feel mine doing the same thing. I had to force myself to let go.

     I opened the door, and we walked in; Taking our seats in the middle row corner. I could see Kyle staring out the window with a strait, blank face. I quietly gripped his hand under the table.

    'I hope he's okay.' I thought to myself.

      I heard the ruler slap down on Kyles desk.

      "Pay attention Kyle." Our short Math teacher told him.

      "Sorry Mr.Scott." Kyle said through gritted teeth.

    I rolled  my eyes slightly. I looked around the rooms, seeing what people where doing. either looking into space, eyes glued to there paper, or goofing off. I almost Envied these peoples lives. I mean, they had it so easy, it made me mad.

 

A few hours later after our third period; The last period me and kyle had together. We sat my our lockers.

     "Rough day?" I asked.

      "Yeah..listen... there's something I need to tell you." He said standing up.

      "what is it?" I asked, tilting my head.

        "Claudia... I-I... I really-" He was cut short when he stopped moving. in fact, it looked like he stopped breathing. He suddenly Collapsed at my feet.

  

                        Kyle's POV

I opened my eyes. my vision was blurry, but I could tell I was in a hospital room. the last thing I remember was when I was about to confess my feelings to Claudia. There was no one in the room, so I tried to get up but my joints hurt like hell. All of a sudden Claudia burst into the room and ran to my side.

     She literally slapped me

    "You fucking scared me!" She yelled.

       I barley had time to react before she pushed her lips against mine.
