Wishing for something more // Book two

Chapter 20

Quinn's p.o.v
I wasn't sure how to feel. Nor was I sure if I wanted to go back after that massacre. I later flat on my back while staring at my ceiling fan pondering about my mixed emotions.

Why does something good happen to me then everything is always destroyed. Am I a time ticking bomb?
My mother opened my bedroom door gently, usually she bolted in here like if I was doing crack or smoking marijuana, but this time it was more different.
" you okay? You haven't been yourself since you broke up with Vincent, and with this mass shooting," she closed the door and sat on my bed. " Mom I think I'm fine," I lied. I wasn't fine at all, I'm still so scared of what comes next.

She started stroking my hair then kissed my forehead," look I know things aren't going that well, with you friend being totally dangerous and I mean I've known Oscar since you guys were kids, and he turns out to be a cold blooded killer? Man," she sighed and so did I.

I had almost forgotten about him. " you know, I can take you out of school till you feel better,"  I looked up, that was the best idea shes ever thought. I was thinking about considering it. " Mom I don't think you are allowed to do that," I sat up, facing her.

" well who cares if I can't your mental health matters to me the most and lately you've been coming home all depressed not leaving your room and I'm really worried for you, last time you went out was that dance and I'm sure it didn't go that well," I shrugged

Oh that. " my decision is made, I'm taking you out of school till I see you're happy and mentally stable, I'm going to the office Monday morning and I don't want you to argue about it," she got up and I didn't bother to argue about it either.

It was actually the best idea yet. She left my room and I got on my phone to call Zamoria," hello?" I had her on speaker," hey we need to talk, meet at skate park," I say, " alright," she was about to hang up when I told her to 'bring the rest'.

Hunters POV

We fell asleep on the couch from the other night, I don't remember falling asleep though all I remember was me laying on her chest and talking about personal deep things with her, it felt good.

"Hey, get up! We have to go to the skate park, something is up with Quinn," Zamoria snacked my head and I let out a groan. " five more minutes, I just met a baby unicorn named mars," I roll to the other side and she sucks her teeth.

A few seconds later she smacks me with a pillow but I don't do anything." Alright you asked for it!" She giggles and my eyes opened wide," oh no." I uttered to myself.

She jumps on me, kneeing my stomach." Ouch," I yelped. I hold my stomach in pain as I fall on the floor." Gosh, you almost made me throw up!"  She laughed then hit me with another pillow.

-- 

I get out of my jeep, and we make our way to the skate park, it was 9 in the morning and the sun was burning our skin, We turn to Vincent who just made it, he gets out of his car and walks towards us." what's going on?" he asked, "I'm not sure, Quinn asked us to meet us here," Zamoria seemed concerned.

"she's over there," I say as she was sitting with her legs crossed on top of  a hill, the wind blowing her hair, she chopped it off. Her hair was at least neck length, "somethings wrong, i barely recoginized her, why did she cut her hair?" Vincent asked, all of us shrugged. We make our way towards her and she sees us. She smiles gently, and gets up.

"what's up?" i asked. "I have something to tell you," she takes a deep breath and looks down at the floor." what is it?" All of us looked at eachother.

"um, I'm taking a break from school." She says, it got quiet, i wasn't sure how i felt about that and i'm sure vincent and zamoria didn't like it at all." why?" Zamoria stated with attitude. "My mom is making me, she says i'm not myself and my mental state is low." She sighed, I looked at Vincent who didn't have any words.
