Be Patient... Please.

Chapter 6

I've known Larry for about two months now. Every weekend Larry invites me to stay over, and every weekend I say yeah. I've done what I said I would never do again. I've become vulnerable, I've let my guard down. Despite all the times I told myself that I would never trust again. But I did. I've become defenseless, weak, and susceptible. I'm okay with it though. I feel safe around Larry, hopefully, my judgment on Larry is correct. In my opinion, Larry is an amazing, kind, trustful, and just overall a great person. My thoughts were interrupted by Larry.

"Dude," Larry looked at me while we were walking to school. "You're so lost in thought you look like a zombie"

"Sorry," I look forward towards the school that is only down the street. "I just couldn't sleep last night."

"Why not?" He looks at me concerningly. "Nightmares again? they're becoming a big problem."

"Nah," I smirk. "It's you, you snore so loudly that I can never sleep right when I'm over."

My smile widens as I look over and see Larry. His face is scrunched into a pout as he crosses his arms and hunched over slightly. I start laughing, as I see him start to blush slightly from being called out so suddenly.

"Is this your payback?" He looks at me with a completely serious expression. "Payback for when I made fun of you for sounding like an elephant the first time you stayed over?"

I start to laugh even harder and Larry looks at me with an expression of confusion.

"I-It's just you s-said that, ahem, with such a s-serious e-expression." I start to laugh at the point of tears. "PfFt, I-I can't."

Larry looks away towards the school that is now right in front of us. We look at each other and smile as we walk in. Today is the day that I'm going to be introduced to Larry's friends. I had so many tardies in first period that I had to serve lunch detention so I couldn't meet them at lunch. After school, I also couldn't meet them because I was only allowed to leave my house for Larry's, my dad said only over there because Larry was Lisa's son. Also, Larry's other friends couldn't go to his house because my dad asked Lisa to only allow me to hang out with Larry. I don't mind being around Larry, I actually really enjoy it. It's just, now I have to meet them all at once.

It's now lunch time, during all of my classes I mostly just zoned out. Now was finally the time that I would meet Larry's friends. I see Larry down the hall and we start walking to lunch together. We enter the lunchroom and head over to a lunch table in the back left corner. Four people were sitting at the table before Larry and I arrived.

"Sal," Larry lays out his palm and points to everyone. "This is Ashley, Todd, Chug, and Mapel. They are all weirdos so feel free to be yourself around them."

They all wave to me as I sit next to Larry. I look at everyone and examine their expressions. Larry is contently eating his food while Maple, the girl next to him, is staring at him. She clearly likes him, once that thought comes to mind it seems as though more shards had shifted, weird. I look over to Chug, he's just sitting there stuffing himself with food. Then, Todd, he's looking at his phone with a giddy smile while typing something. Ashley tries to peer at Todd's phone but he shoos her away and continues to type. All of a sudden Todd's expression changes, he looks extremely worried and stands. He calls Larry over and they go to the hallway to talk. Ashley comes and sits next to me once Larry and Todd leave.

"Hey Ashley," I look over at her. "Do you know what that's about?"

"They're so weird," She shakes her head. "Todd probably saw some incorrect information on a blog or something and needs to rant about why it's incorrect."

Tod and Larry start walking back. Todd's head is hung low and Larry looks extremely pale. Larry simply sits down and lays his face in his hands while Todd sits and stares straight forward, stunned. Before I can ask any questions about it the lunch bell rings. I wanted to ask what was wrong but before I could He ran out of the lunchroom. I didn't see him the whole school day after that. I'm worried. I wonder why he looked so scared, did something happen? Did someone tell him a fake rumor about me? Did I do something wrong? hopefully not...

It was really late at night and I still hadn't seen Larry since lunch. I tried calling him but he never picked up. I once tried to knock on his door, Lisa answered but she said Larry hadn't come home yet, that was around 6:00 pm. I hope he got home safely. I would go to check on him but it's currently 2:00 am and I don't think Lisa would appreciate me coming over so late. I finally take off my mask and put my glass eye into a glass of water, I then lay down and try to sleep, but I can't. I feel as though I'm being watched. I didn't sleep at all, I look at my clock and it's 6:30 am. I didn't sleep at all, I just stared at the ceiling. I pry myself from my bed, But before I leave my room I notice a small red peice of paper on my dresser. I didn't put anything on my dresser.. Plus dad was gone working last night and still isn't home, so it couldn't be him. The front door is locked... Before I open the note, I realize, my window is unlocked... But I'm on the forth floor? I take another look at the note.

It says.....
