Chapter 14: Poison of the Mind

We were thirty minutes late by the time James took photos and after him arguing with Tyler on the phone about coming to take pictures. Matt dropped Juliet and Nate at the door.

"I'm really excited about the scholarships." Matt said once they got out of the car. "Yeah, me too. I don't want to do anything with football, but if it gets me to collage, then so be it." "I haven't told my parents yet." He said while parking the car. "Why not?" "My dad wants me to go to college and only focus on that, not be on football. He says it’s better for student Doctors to only study. I don't even want to be a doctor I want to be FBI or forensics." "Tell him. I’ll be with you if you want, but tell them what you want. In the end it's your life." "Your amazing, you know that right?" "I've been told." I said stepping out of the car.

"Who's cars this?" "My mom's, she wanted me to bring Nate." Matt said shrugging. I looked at my phone. In big letters Bens name and a text. Ben: Get your butt in here! They are calling the King and Queen!" "Crap!" Matt we need to get in there!" I yelled and began to run. Finally we made it inside the school. "There you two are." Mr. Mock said. "Yeah, sorry we were running late." I said walking through the door."Ok get in there." We were walking through the doors up in the gym, when the lights flashed onto us. "Your Homecoming King and Queen." The announcer boomed across the gym. Everyone was staring at us as we were walking down the stairs. They started a slow song for our dance. Matt was holding me close to him with my head on his chess."Matt, this is crazy." I whispered.

The rest of the night continued of me and Matt dancing. Eventually we got tired and went to sit down."Babe, I'm going to go get some punch. I’ll be right back." I said and got up to leave. I was at the table when I felt someone's arm around my waist. "Matt what are doing here I thought you going to..." I spun around to see it wasn't Matt."Get your arm off of me." I said pushing the slime ball away from me. "Oh, come on baby don't be like that." He said getting close to me, I could smell liquor on his breath. I didn't know who he was, but he wasn't Matt. "I have a boyfriend. Get away from me." I said stepping back, running into the table. "I don't care. Come on let's have some fun." He said grabbing my arm. "No! Stop it!" I screamed pulling away.

With that one yell, I heard footsteps running towards us. "Luke! Stop!" Matt’s voiced bombed with power. "Dude, I'm just trying to get this girl." Luke slurred. "That's my girl. Get out of here before I make you leave." He threatened stepping closer. Luke stumbled back running into Stacy's date. The punch he was carrying splashed out of his hands and spilt all over Stacy's dress. "Look what you did!!!" She shrieked. And then ran out of the gym. Luke continued and stumbling out of the gym.

Bam!!

There was a loud noise as after he stepped out of the gym. While Matt and I were running over there, I saw his limp body at the end of the stairs. "Call 911!" I yelled running to him. Matt and I was on his side checking him, when the ambulance arrived. "I'm going to have to get you story's." I police officer said as they took Luke out in an ambulance."Ok." Matt said while leading us outside. "So, first what are you names?" "Matthew Reed." "Roselyn Fox." "Wait, as in the Roselyn Fox with the crazy father." I took a big gulp, "Yeah, that me." "Captain Dale talks about you all the time and wondering how you are doing with your father out." "Dales a captain know, wow. I have to stop by and see him sometime." I said thinking about the man that saved my life.

"Yeah, he'd love that, we are celebrating his birthday tomorrow actually. Ok, well what are your stories?" The office said getting serious. "Ok, sir. I was getting punch; Luke was drunk and was flirting and hanging all over me. I pushed him away and told him to go away. He wouldn't and tried to pull me. I screamed and Matt came to help me. Matt, told him to leave. He spilt some punch and walked out of our site. Then we heard a noise and he was at the bottom of the stairs." I told him what happen. "Ok, Matthew is that your story to?" "Yes, sir." "Ok, thank you." He said and left."Are you ok?" Matt asked pulling me into a hug. "Yeah, I'm fine. Can we go to the hospital to check on him?" I asked into his chess. "Of course, let me call my parents and tell them to pick up Nate and Juliet."
