MONSTERS WITHIN

Chapter 6

Peter layed asleep, sleeping soundly, until he heard a knock at his window. "..huh?.." peter groggily got up and looked at the window, a hand was pressed against it, peter got out of bed and went to shut the curtains, but noticed a familiar smile across the figures face,
"Heya peter!" Tren said
"..t-tren? ...what are you doing here?" Peter asked rubbing his eyes
"I....I thought you wouldn't want to see me again..after what happened..." Peter looked down and rubbed his arm, where Jason punched him from that fight. "What? ...of course I would still want to see you...I..I heard what happened...are you okay?" Tren asked as he walked in through Peter's window
"..y-yeah...I'm okay...how did you find me?" Peter tilted his head and his ears flopped to there side, "I saw you and your mom pull up! We live by eachother.." Tren said as he smiled
"O-oh!! Oh she's....she's not my mom...she's...she's my aunt...but..it's cool how we live by eachother! ...I'm cool with that...who...who was that woman with you when you left?" Tren looked down as he walked over to Peter's bed, and sat down. "....my grandmother....." Tren said sadly, Peter sat down by tren, side by side eachother. "oh..what's her name?" Peter asked noticing little tear marks on tren's face. "....Leonie....and...and she's not your usual grandmother...she's a fuckin bitch...she's mean...she's neglectful...she's sometimes abusive...sniff...it's so fucking hard with her! I just want to fuckin die when I'm around her!" Tren started crying, peter put his hand on tren's back, and carressed it. "..aww...I'm...I'm sorry tren...I'm sorry that happened....but please..please don't say you want to die...because that's never the answer..." Peter's voiced broked a bit as he said that, "...really? ...I know that but...my body doesn't..." Tren said, Peter nodded and looked away. "...mine too..." Peter and tren sat by eachother, they heard crickets outside. Then, peter felt a hand move over by his hand, he looked down and saw tren holding it, tight.
"...peter? ...c-can..can I stay with you for a bit?"
Peter blushed a bit as he said that, he looked away, smiled and looked back at tren. "...sure thing...anything for you...." peter said with a tiny smile on his face, tren smiled and hugged him. "...thanks..." Tren replied, they looked at eachother and smiled,

The sun slowly came up, peter and tren were sleeping side by side, the alarm rang as peter jolted upwards, "no nightmares this time..good.." peter thought, he looked over and saw tren, sleeping soundly, he smiled but remembered his Grandmother, "..oh shit...tren!! Tren get up!! You gotta head home hurry!!" Peter yelled as tren jolted upwards. "SHIT!!! What time is it?!" Tren yelled, They looked at there clock and saw something that send chills, 6:12 AM "o-oh shit..." Peter put his hand over his mouth, tren started hyperventilating, but he calmed himself down, "....I'll....I'll see you at school peter...thanks for letting me stay..." Tren said as he was walking out the window, "but what about your Grandmother?!" Peter asked fearing for his safety, "I'll be fine....I promise...see ya at school!" Tren replied with confidence in his voice, peter waved goodbye as tren flew out.

Meanwhile, tren flew back to his house and flew in through his window. He sighed of relief when he saw nobody, he began to grab his stuff and his backpack, not until he heard someone clear there throut behind him. "...Where were you?!" Leonie asked "Gr-grandma!! ...u-uhh...I...I-" Tren said with fear in his voice, "don't lie to me!! I know you snuck out last night!!! Where were you?!!" Leonie grabbed tren's arm and squeezed it tight, and pulled him downstairs.

At school, peter was clearing his locker with supplies and papers, he pulled some folders out and saw tren. "T-tren!! Heya! How are you doin-" tren passed peter, not saying a word, with his hair over his eye, but Peter did see something bruised. "....o-oh my god...." Peter said with fear, as multiple students stared at tren, and tren held his head down, and cried, softly.
