School Of The Unsolved

Cup Of Tea

As if the shock of Just watching somebody disintegrate wasn't enough I also had somebody I had figured hated me asking to talk to me.

Marc stood at the doorway as he scratched the back of his neck. I could tell just by the way he stood that he had been embarrassed to be standing in front of me.

The truth was he should have been. Here he was after treating me horribly. All I wanted was to help love the death of his best friend but of course, that didn't matter. It didn't help that I didn't think he was anything but perfect but there I was looking fully stupid.

I looked back to Blair who had been on the floor and Kennedy who had been balling. This boy must be thought we were crazy. I mean we looked absolutely crazy I couldn't deny that.

"Um yeah," I said as I headed towards the boy. I didn't want to of course. This had been serious. My little sister had just tried to kill herself and I don't even get a chance to talk to her about it. Everything felt so wrong. It didn't help that the bad feeling in my stomach decided not to leave.

The moment I reached the boy he began to pull me away to where nobody could see us.

"look" he said "i apologize for how I acted. It was so stupid and now I feel so alone and empty and I feel so bad and I feel like your the only one I can talk to about this" the boy was out of breath by the time he finished his sentence. I had fully forgiven him the moment he finished his sentence but that didn't matter because he could know that.

"then tell me," I said as I crossed my arms and waited for the boy to fill me in on his problems. Instead of telling me then and there he grabbed my arm and began pulling me up the back stairs.

"you ever been to the roof," he asked as we began running up the stairs. I knew u would pass out before I made it halfway to the roof.

"no," I said barely being able to actually get my words out. I knew the boy would drag me up the stairs just for me to be his therapist as we looked at the stars. No matter how romantic it was I still hated doing anything physical.

"Sometimes I forget your new," he said as he turned to me. I absolutely didn't want that. I didn't want him to see my sweating and almost dying. "its cute though Ya know to show you the ropes of how things really work around here"

"mmhh really?" I responded trying not to give in to his small flirting. I thought he was cute but still, that didn't matter he had just lost "his best friend" and here he was flirting with me.

"yup it is." said the boy "well I know you're tired but trust me if you wanna have fun in this place you'll need to now the floors and the stairs.

I sighed. I didn't want to have fun I just wanted to survive and figure out the truth.

It had seemed like forever when we finally got to the top of the school. This definitely wasn't worth it. I should have just stayed with my siblings.

"I know this seems lame but look at the view," he said as he opened the catch to the roof. He let me go up first so that I could see the view...

I stood there in shock as I looked around "not a single star in the sky" I whispered to the boy as if somebody was watching us.

"what do you mean the stars are the best part," he said as he closed the hatch and turned forward to see what I was talking about. "there are always stars. Every night". The boy looked absolutely astonished by the fact that there were no stars in the sky.

But that didn't surprise me. What surprised me was how terrifying this view was. The woods next to us looked vacant and empty, the sky had been filled with nothing else other than the moon, and crows had been sitting on every perfectly trimmed tree.

"there's definitely something wrong," I said as I continued to look at the sight in front of me.

"that's why I brought you here," he said as he took a seat and pulled out water from his bag "sit down this is going to be a long one"

I didn't waste any time when it came to doing that my legs were as tired as I felt possible. I took a seat right next to the boy and took in a big gulp of water.

"with the crap I've been through these last couple of days, I'm sure I could handle it" I laughed.

"let's see" the boy whispered "The night George died I was supposed to meet up with him. We we're going to run around the school and have fun. I remember getting ready, being excited, doing my hair. I remember I'm doing all of that but everything after that was gone"

I sat in shock I wasn't going to give in and tell him the truth but I could help but be shocked by what he had just told me. Blair and I weren't the only ones.

"but it's not like I totally blacked out. Instead, I had like a vision or a dream it was about all of you guys. At first, I saw you as just a weird family but after the dream, I knew you mattered. Especially you."

"what do you mean by that," I asked with a little worry in my heart.

"I mean in the dream I was scared more than ever and every time somebody tried to comfort me it didn't help but all you had to do was look at me and I was fine. For some reason I trusted you. And I hated it"
