His New Toy

Am I so hungry that I’m Hallucinating? 

[Max’s POV]

“You made me cut myself!” I breathed heavily, feeling the anger boil all over

“It was only supposed to be a joke” he mumbled playing with his thumbs

“I was passed out for 2 days! That’s not a fucking Joke” I snapped back “Would you have even told me if I didn’t remember?”

“Please don’t break up with me” he whispered softly. He kept his eyes locked on mine as we sat quietly in his car outside of my house

“I don’t know” I looked away folding my arms “That’s going well beyond a joke and not telling me was pushing it”

“I’m sorry Max, I’m so so sorry” I turned to face him, he was pleading me with his eyes which looked like they were going to spill tears any moment

“I think we should take a break”

Sighing he agreed “Okay”

………………………………………………….

I pressed my head against the cool wooden table in the library, part of it was still cut off but there were no builders, just me and Daphne the Librarian. I wasn’t too surprised I was in school two hours before it actually started, the tension at home was too much to handle, and my mom’s wrath was slowly suffocating me even after she had grounded me for life.

I clutched my growling stomach empathising with it, I literally had my shower, dressed and ran out not bothering to make breakfast, everything in my house was so awkward and to top it all off I only got about two hours sleep, what kind of sick Joke was Christopher playing at?. I groaned softly as everything began rushing through my mind again, Chris, Erick, my Mom, School, My freaking Textbook! My depressing thoughts were interrupted when my bag fell on the floor

“A chocolate Bar?” I whispered as I stared dreamily yet puzzled at it, what the hell is a Chocolate bar doing on the floor, my stomach growled aggressively begging me to pick it up, was this a gift from the heavens? I sighed torn, looking left and right the place was deserted but how trampy was this? My stomach growled again refusing to be diplomatic about the situation; I bit my lip as I bent down slowly for the bar in all its glory

“What the hell?!” I recoiled back in shock causing me to fall off my chair

“Mr Evans!” Daphne barked in a hushed tone, she stared intently with a silent fury “Be quiet!”

“I’m so sorry Miss.”

“And Watch that tongue of yours”

“Yes Miss.”

“And that foul language”

“Again, Yes Miss.”

She nodded affirmatively, proud of her scolding, I turned back around to face the chocolate bar which was farther away from me, I gawked at it in amazement; Chocolate bars don’t move on their own. I let out another anticipated breath and stood up and took another step towards the mystical bar as it will now be known as I bent down to reach for it…it moved again!

I giggled with excitement; this may have been the coolest thing I have ever seen!!

Or am I so hungry that I’m hallucinating?

I thought about it for a moment…

Nah I'm sane.

I followed the Mystical bar as it glided across the floor out of the library. The halls were empty which was a shame; I was the only one that was going to see this spectacular unfold, the bar led me to the isolated side of the library, it began to move faster so I hurried my pace after it

“Oh my god, Oh my god, oh my god” I squealed after it. It took a quick left into the darkened halls where the Goth toilets were, I stood by the Entrance, folding my arms laughing softly

“Oh and now I’m supposed to skip off into the emo toilets to my doom. I'm many things but I'm not an idiot” I don’t know how they made that Mystical bar move but I wasn’t going to be the one to find out. I turned around swiftly on my heels but I didn’t end up far infact the floor was the only place I was ended at. I looked up to see the Goth boy I met in the toilets months ago, he had a more than amused smile on his face, he was finding it more than hard not to laugh

“You really are a child, aren’t you sweet Max?” he helped me get up and ruffled my hair laughing “A string. You fell for a piece of string. Cute”

“Excuse me?” I asked dusting my pants

“I didn’t think it would actually work, you know” he leaned against the wall thinking about it, I leaned against the opposite wall, I know I should of probably used this time to run but instead just stood there, he intrigued me a lot. He was wearing black skinny jeans black t-shirt and black biker boots, “I saw it happen on Tom and Jerry, so you can imagine why I had my doubts”

“Doubts?”

He laughed again, his blue eyes meeting mine “I tied a piece of string to a chocolate bar and dragged it along as you followed it”

“Oh…” I closed my eyes as I reeled in my embarrassment, I could feel my cheeks going red as The Goth kid laughed harder he clutched his stomach and threw his head back

“I really shouldn’t be laughing” he breathed out trying to calm himself down but he soon burst into another fit of laughter and I ended joining him for what seemed like ages. When we finally stopped I finally managed to ask him what I wanted to in the beginning

“But why did you do it?”

He tilted his head slightly to the right and pushed himself off the wall “Why else, Maxie?” he took a threatening step closer, placing each arm beside my head “you never came to see me” pushing him gently away I laughed awkwardly

“I told I wouldn’t be”

“I know but I hope you would since I borrowed your textbook I would be seeing you. How’s life without it?”

I sighed thinking about it, I was going to need it first period, the Goth boy smiled and grabbed my hand dragging me into the empty toilets

“Here” he handed over my textbook, it was in perfect shape, I smiled gratefully as I took it off him

“Why are you giving it to me?”

He thought about it for a while before coming to a logical conclusion “I don’t know”

“Right…”

“But I’ll tell you what I do know”

“Uhm…yeah?”

“You saw me laugh today and that’s something I don’t want people finding out about especially other members of my group…understand?”

I nodded but I didn’t feel threatened by him somehow “And if people do find out?”

He chuckled heartily before giving me a deathly glare “Why I’ll end your life of course”

I chuckled feeling rather uncomfortable “I’m just going to go now…Thanks for the textbook…uh?” I realised I didn’t know his name I waited expecting him to tell me but instead he just stared back at me blankly

“Is this the point where I'm supposed to tell you my name and then we shake hands symbolising the beginning of a new best friendship?”

“I just wanted to know your name!”

He chuckled “That hurt Maxie…but yeah it’s Drake”

I raised my eyebrows in surprise which he seemed to catch up on immediately “What? Were you expecting something like Xavier or Sabre or Midnight?”

That was exactly what I was expecting but I didn’t want to offend “no no I don’t know why I did that to be honest with you but I’ll see you later” I smiled politely and rushed out of the door reunited with my text book.

[Erick’s POV]

“Mr. Carter I demand you step back into this classroom now!” I turned around at the balding man, who was now extremely red,

I scoffed at his stupid attempt to get me back inside “I don’t think so” I strode down the halls with only one thing in mind answers and I wanted them now. He could of called Darren at least tell us what’s going on but no he had to be a selfish brat. I stopped outside the classroom I knew he would be in and opened the door. The teacher immediately stopped talking when I stood there not even paying her the slightest bit of attention but staring hard at Max who looked lost like a deer caught in headlights. I tried to soften my features but the harder I tried the angrier I got so I gave up with that bullshit idea.

“Mr. Carter can I help you?” the teacher asked, quite nervous in fact but I quickly dismissed her, if it wasn’t obvious to her why I wasn’t here I wasn’t going to bother because it was very clear why I was standing in her classroom

“Max you need to come with me” I felt bad the moment he flinched when I called him fear taking over his face but I couldn’t keep calm no matter how I tried

He slowly began to get up not taking his eyes off me “Quickly” I demanded, I was tired of waiting

“Wait” the teacher interrupted “Max sit down” Max looked at me not sure of what to do. The teacher turned to face perplexed by the situation “Did a teacher or parent send you here?”

“Nope, I'm no one’s messenger” the class began to snigger quietly as the teacher turned a shade of red not really sure of what to say next

“The-then I'm afraid you can’t take him” she gulped slightly, crossing her arms and lifting her chin slightly, trying to show some sort of authority

I chuckled softly shaking my head at her “It seems like all the teachers have forgotten that I'm the one who pays your damn checks, so if I was you I would shut the hell up” and it was true my father made me oversee where all the money goes to and how much each member of staff is paid. The whole class burst out laughing, the crazy lady stared me down before bursting out in tears and running out of the classroom

“We’ll see what the principal has to say about this!” the door slammed swiftly behind her and you could hear the shrieking from down the halls. The class fell into an uproar of laughter and soon everyone was gossiping among themselves, forgetting I was there. I wove in and out of the crowd till I got to Max’s desk, some silly kid Jerome was sitting on his desk clearly flirting with him. Jerome was one of the scary open gay kids that just wanted to bare their fangs into a new chunk of meat, whether it was gay or not but Max wasn’t paying attention to his advances, he was watching me shaking with fear.

When I finally got to the desk I turned my deathly gaze to Jerome, who was annoyed I interrupted

“Fuck off Jerome”

“And if I don’t lover boy?”

“Then I’ll make you” I hardened my glare on him, I was seriously getting pissed now. After a couple of minutes Jerome gave in, shuffling away

“Arrogant Bastard” I closed my eyes and squeezed my fist tightly, I had to keep it all in so I didn’t lunge after that bitch and beat him senseless. I opened my eyes after 10 seconds and faced my prime target

“Get up and get your stuff” he quickly shuffled to feet but he tripped over his bag causing him to fall on the floor by my feet. I felt the anger slowly drain away from me, why did he have to be so cute? I picked him up by his upper arm and packed his stuff in his bag, then pulled on his small hand dragging him out.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair once we were in the empty halls; I needed somewhere where we could really talk without being disturbed and then it hit me.

“Come on where going for a little walk”

…………………………………..

Behind the school there was a huge football pitch and then it was just empty grassland that went on for miles and miles, I didn’t even know where it ended but I knew it would be fenced off at one point.

“Not much longer” I breathed out as Max trailed behind me, he didn’t say a word but I would hear him whimper quietly every now and then, we had been walking for what would be now almost 30 minutes. I decided to stop when I saw the metal fence. It partitioned a small deserted road from the school.

“So let’s see” I began, I watched as Max put his bag down on the floor and shuffled nervously on his feet not daring to look at me “You go off with a psychopath and you disappear off the face of the world for two days with calling anyone”

“I’m sorry Erick” he seemed genuinely upset and apologetic and I forgave him instantly even though I really didn’t want to. I wasn’t going to let him off that quickly though

“Well aren’t you going to explain, what happened Max? What were you doing that was so special with him that you couldn’t come to school? That you couldn’t even call your mom?”

He shrugged and bit nervously on his lip “I’m sorry”

I sighed we were going round in circles here but I couldn’t drop the matter “Come on Max, just tell me! What did he do?!”

“Nothing Erick! He didn’t do anything!” he sighed angrily, his eyes were watery “Just drop it!”

“I can’t!” there was a tense and awkward silence in the air. Only the sound of our heavy breathing could be heard. After what seemed forever I decided to break the silence. “You have to understand that I-I care for you and I know Chris and he’s bad news Max, so when I can’t get to you I get worried because I care”

“You said that twice” he mumbled

“Sorry” I sighed feeling suddenly very nervous and sweaty. Was I really going to do this? “You know I may even go as far as saying that I-“

“I’m sorry” he muttered he took his phone out of his back pocket and gulped quietly looking terrified as he watched it. He didn’t pick up instead just put it back in his pocket letting it ring. “Look I’m going to head back now I’m fine” he turned around and began to walk away but I hadn’t finished yet!

“Max, wait!” I quickened my pace after his retreating back, I grabbed his arm and he quickly spun to face me releasing a blood-curdling scream. I quickly let go backing away scared. This was the first time I truly felt scared. I watch him fall to the ground clutching his arm gasping for air, tears falling aggressively falling down his face. He was rocking back and forth trying to hold in his screams. I stood there frozen not sure what to do.

“Max?” it was barely a whisper but I couldn’t manage anything else

He breathing soon returned to normal and he wiped his tears “I'm-I’m fine now” I expected him to lift up his sleeve to check up on his self but he didn’t. Instead he was watching me…he was hiding something.

I felt my head tilt to the side and I folded my arms “Well? Aren’t you going to see if your arm is okay?”

“No” he patted it softly its okay now

“Max…” I gave him a warning look. I reached out for his other arm but he quickly moved it away

“The other one hurts too?” he nodded slowly

“Yeah but it’s not as serious as you think”

“You were on the floor screaming. I think it’s that serious”

“Why can’t you just leave me alone Erick?!” with that he ran off in the opposite direction I bolted after him I knew something wasn’t right!

“MAX!” but he didn’t look back he kept on running. It wasn’t long before I caught up with him we were nowhere near school yet, I picked him up and threw him over my shoulder he was thrashing around but he’s nothing more than a baby with a tantrum. I put down so he was trapped against me and the fence

“I dare you to run one more time” he didn’t move instead glared angrily at me as his tears streaked down his face. I gently picked up his hand and brought it up to my face; he dropped his face down not looking at me anymore. I place a soft kiss on his hand causing him to look up at me in surprise but I didn’t look back instead I gently pulled back his sleeve, his whole hand up to his elbow was wrapped in bandages, blood seeping slowly through it. I sighed “I’m guessing the other looks the same?” he nodded sobbing harder. I pulled on the knot which revealed deep lacerations in his pale skin, one even looked infected. “Max we need to get you to a hospital, Bandages aren’t going to cut it”

He nodded agreeing

“What happened?” more like what did that son of a bitch do to you? But I kept it vague for now

“I-I cut myself”
