Be Brave

Chapter Sixteen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been two days since my incident at school. My parents insisted that I stayed at home until I was ready and fully healed to go back to school. I wasn't just laying in bed all day, I could walk a bit but it was more like a limp but I could still move. I had to take breaks because if I was standing for too long then my leg would start to hurt. I should probably be back to school in a few days.

I was sitting and watching tv when I remembered what Marlene and Shauna said they were going to do. Throughout the two days they hadn't stopped by, called or even texted me. So I decided to text them both in a group chat.

T- Hey

I set my phone down waiting for a response and continued to watch modern family on tv. It wasn't long before they both responded.

S- Hey

M- Wsup

S- In chemistry, so bored.

M- I'm in gym class but I'm hiding in the girls change room.

T- Lol, have you guys talked to Uriah and Zeke yet?

I question them right away wanting to get to the point. It takes them a while to respond so I'm assuming they did.

S- Yeah we did...

M- It didn't go to well.

T- What do u mean it didn't go to well?

M- Well we both went up to Zeke and Uriah while Four wasn't there. It was going fine at the beginning.

S- We were being all flirty with them and we both thought they were falling for it, that was until...

M- Four showed up. Both boys stepped back from us and stood on either side of him.

T- What did he say?

S- He asked if you put us up to this and I was going to lie and say no but his glare was so cold and before I knew it, I blurted out yes.

M- He asked us a few more questions about where are u and things like that so we answered them. If we didn't he would give us his death glare and clench his fists so...

T- And u fell for it, he's just intimidating you.

S- There is one more thing...

T- What?

M- He said he might pop by to check on u today after school and have a "little chat" with u is what he said.

T- WHAT? He's coming to my house?!

M- Sorry, we tried to get him to change his mind, but...

S- He just ignored us. Sorry.

T- It's ok. I'll just ask him today myself. Thanks for trying. I'll ttyl.

I put my phone down beside me and continued to watch tv. School finishes at 3 and it's 2:05 right now so I have about an hour till he gets here.

After watching an episode and a half of the Big Bang theory, I get up and walk to the kitchen. I take a cup out of the cupboard and turn on the tap. I fill my glass up and lean my back against the sink, slowly taking sips of my cold water. I stare at the two candles lit on the opposite countertop near the curtains hanging across the sliding door that leads to our backyard.

I hear the door open and close very faintly and I look at the time on my phone. 2:55. Why is Four here so early?

"Four, why are you here so early?" I question.
