Chasing the Chaos

Ch.7

It was nice to actually feel included, it was nice that I actually felt like I belonged in this god forsaken school. I was eating my food while Autumn was laughing at whatever Evan was saying. I just kept looking down at my salad and kept messing with it. It was beyond strange that the lacrosse team actually was okay with sitting with us. That's when I noticed that Evans was actually reading a book. I just stared at him while slightly confused. He was reading 1984 by Wells. He gave me a smile and the bell rang and I just got up from the table but not before I tripped over someone feet and I groaned in pain because my stomach was in so much pain from what my father did to me the night before. I clenched my teeth together and I closed my eyes hoping that the pain would go away. I heard stomps and I heard a voice that didn't sound like Autumn but I knew it had to be her. I sighed while I moved back against the wall.

"What are you twelve" Autumn shouted at the guys and the guys rolled their eyes but soon the cafeteria was being cleared but I made no motion to get up from the dirty tiled floor at all. Autumn sat down next to me and we said nothing but watched the kids leave the cafeteria.

"Are you okay" Autumn asked me while putting her hand on my shoulder and I just nodded with a small smile. "Let me guess your father wasn't particularly nice to you was he" Autumn raised an eyebrow up.

"That's nothing new" I told her while rubbing the back of my neck and I got up from the floor and we both headed to our classes. I decided to go to the bathroom to examine the new bruise. The bruise was fading slowly but it was like it never existed at all. I looked at my hand, the ring was still on my finger. I removed it and stared at the engraved and I just looked at myself in the mirror and I sighed. I removed my glasses and I pushed my hair back. I would never belong in this school and that was the truth. It was the sad truth but it is the truth and even though I felt like dying. I put the ring back on my finger and I heard screams in my ears and I covered my ears begging it to go away and when it finally did. I felt relieve but if there was no screaming does that mean the person's pain was over and no longer in work anymore.

I was worried about the person but I couldn't locate the person and plus I have no strength to defend the person. I walked out of the bathroom and I put my hoodie over my head and I sat down in a seat. I looked to my right and there Evans was. He gave me a small smile and I smiled back at him. I faced forward trying to pay attention to what the teacher was saying but I couldn't because I could taste blood in my mouth. My mouth wasn't bleeding but yet here I was tasting blood. I started taking notes but I saw blood drip out of my hands and fell onto my white paper. My eyes went wide and I tried to remove the blood from my paper but it wouldn't go away. I felt like I couldn't breathe, I was gasping from lack of air. I felt my eyes get blurry and I saw Evans was sitting in front of me asking me questions. I could see his pale small lips moving but I couldn't hear him. I felt the darkness engulfed me.

I woke up in the nurse's office and I stared at the ceiling. I saw that I was completely alone in the room. I heard a knock on the door and Autumn came in and sat down next to me. I just looked at her.

"What happened" I asked her and Autumn shrugged her shoulders.

"You passed out" Autumn said to me and before I knew it I saw Apollo in the door.

"I need to talk to Lyric alone" Apollo urged Autumn leave and she did. Apollo sat down next to me.

"What the hell is going on with me" I wanted answers because I couldn't go through this with the rest of my life.

"You, getting your powers" Apollo gave me a half smile and I just groaned.

"Just great, I'm going to be more of a freak now thanks to you" I complained while lying back down on the bed. I put my hands over my face.
