Monster (Haitus)

Chapter 4: Discovered a secret

A few days have passed since the fight or what ever you want to call it, Jamie got expelled for assaulting a student and a teacher and I simply got let off school for 2 weeks for recovery.

My wounds have always healed fast at an abnormal rate, my parents say they after the incident I just healed faster and didn't feel much pain.

I hear a knock on the door and Sylvia asks "can I come in?" I think about it for a few seconds and tell her to come in.

She sits down on my computer chair while I stay in my bed under the covers. "What do you want?" I quickly asked her.

"I wanted to see how you're doing, it's been 4 days since the uh.. incident and we haven't really spoke" she sounded concerned and scared.

"Well like I said on Monday I said to only talk to me if you needed something, not for company"

"I just wanted to see you because it's my, uh..." she goes quiet and looks down.

I bluntly ask her "do you think this was your fault?" I saw her quickly look at me then look back down and nod.

"It wasn't your fault, Jack was pushing it so I said things back and Jamie got in the way, you didn't do anything, so don't think it was, it aggravates me when people act like they done something when they never"

"Well if he didn't find me attractive then he wouldn't have said something to you when I told hi-" she suddenly cuts off her sentence.

The atmosphere changes as I get up from the bed and walk towards her. She hears my footsteps and look up and sees me. Her eyes widen as much as they can when she sees me and has a fear in her eyes

"What happened to you? How did you get all of them?" He punched your face and that's somehow fine now but not your body. *She covers her mouth and looks like she's away to scream.*

*I look down to realise I've not any shirt on.* *I sigh* "Shit" I walk back to my bed and when I turn around she sees my back she almost screams and she runs out my room and quickly closes the door behind her. "I have got to be more careful"

My mother runs in and asks "what's going on, why did Sylvia sprint past me?" She look at me when I've already got a white shirt on.

"She saw them and she didn't know how to react" I tell her while I reach my remote turn on my tv.

"Oh I see, not the best first reaction to them." She walks away and closes the door while I put on Netflix.

Later that night the atmosphere was tense with everyone, my father found out that Sylvia saw them and everyone was silent.

"So are you enjoying your new home Sylvia?" My father asked.

"Yes I am, I'm grateful that you let me stay with you Mr black"

"Hopefully Nathan hasn't been too hard on you, I know how he gets with new people."

*I glance over at her while I eat my food waiting her response and look back at my food*

"He's been alright, we've spoke a little but it's hard since he's always in his room and not at school currently"

"Awe Nathan, we told you to speak to her, not ignore her." My dad said Annoyed like

"I'm not ignoring her I got into a fight with someone and I've been recovering" I snapped back

"Well maybe you can invite her in your room and talk to her here while you're recovering so she doesn't feel lonely"

"I'm not forced to talked to her, I'll choose when and when not too talk to her so get off my back"

I don't know why but I'm suddenly angry and my heart is racing

"We aren't forcing you to talk to her Nathan but to at least try and talk to her" my father shouted at me

"I am trying, in my own way, just shut up already!" *I ball my hands into fists and slam the table causing it to create a loud bang like a cupboard falling*

I start breathing heavily and my chest aches. My sight is covered with images of a concrete room and a man shouting at me and hitting me with a pipe, I hear my scream in my mind from this memory.

I run to my room and slam the door behind me and locking it and lean back against the door sliding down and sitting panting.

"What the fuck just happened... What was that?
