One Color At A Time

Chapter 7

I leave my room fairly early in the morning. It's dark and overcast this morning, it smells like it's going to rain soon. I can't imagine what Madison would want all of us to meet up so urgently for. It seems really important because she has never messaged any of us as late as she did last night. I made it to all of the benches and I'm not surprised but I am the first one here. 

It's Saturday morning so almost no one is around. I wouldn't be up either at this hour but something about Madison's message made me want to make sure that everyone was here. I look around and it's peaceful out. There isn't much going on. The roads are fairly busy but there aren't that many people walking around. I see some staff members walking around, they glance over at me and their voices get quieter and they quicken their pace as they pass me by. I find it odd behavior but I don't think much about it. I see Lacey and Clarabell walking this way and I wave at them.

"Good morning Jonathan. How has your morning been?" Lacey asks after she and Clarabell sits down.

"I didn't sleep that well last night. So I'm just kind of jittery today and plus some of the staff walked by and when they saw me they got really quiet and they quickened their pace as they walked by me. Kind of freaky behavior," I say

"Honestly, we didn't get that much sleep either," Lacey says

Clarabell doesn't say anything, she looked concern about something that I had said. I shrug and let her just think. I think it has to do something with the staff acting weird.

We sit around for a little while before Travis shows up next.

"Hey man, is everything okay?" I ask once he sits down.

"Yeah, he didn't say anything last night once I was back in the room. He just laid in bed not even looking at me," Travis says with a deep sigh.

"I'm sorry man. It just pisses me off that Chris is using him like that. Like I'm scared for him man," I say

"Yeah I am too but there isn't much that we can do at the moment," Travis says

"I know," I say

The girls ask what we are talking about and we tell them about the encounter we had with Tyler last night. It causes Clarabell to get really mad.

"That piece of shit! When I get my hands on him," Clarabell was cut off by Lacey soothing her and softly played with the curls on Clarabell's hair.

"It's okay my love, take deep breaths," Lacey says calmly doing what she could to calm Clarabell down.

"Clara if it makes you feel better, I am feeling the same thing right now," Travis says

"We talking about my brother again?" I whip my head around and see Madison standing there.

"He just had Tyler tell us to leave you alone. Saying that it was going to be dangerous or whatever if we didn't. It sounds like a through he is threatening us. I know he is your brother but with how my brother was acting last night he is the last person I want to see today," Travis says

"Don't worry about what  I think. I'm not much of a fan of Christ right now either," she says before sitting down on the bench that is across from all of us.

"What is it you wanted to tell us Madi," Sally walks up and sits next to Travis.

"Well, I guess it's easier if you see it first," she says before show goes into the process of taking her contacts out.

She put them in the little container before looking up at us. Her eyes are defiantly multi-colored. I can see the orange and I hear the others gasp so I know that they can see their sights in her eyes as well.
