Give Me A Reason
Chapter 7
As matthew drove, he called his boss, letting him know that he was going back to Canada. " Is there a certain reason why you want to come back here or something? Its not like you." " I graduated and I want to come home. That's all. Can you send my private jet to the airport?" he asked while turning a corner. " sure. Ill meet with you when you land in Canada. Goodbye matthew." His boss said as he hung up and parked his car next to madelines. He stepped out and called out to her, seeing her walk twards him. " here is your diploma and everything. Ill lead the way to my hotel." She said in one big breath. She got back in her truck, matthew in his car, and both drove off to a hotel called, ' holiday inn'. Once they parked in the back, they walked up to madelines room and relaxed for a bit.
" do you need to have your bandages changed?" she asked after 5 minutes of silence. " no why?" matthew asked while looking at her. " I only asked because your playing eith them." She said as matthew looked down, realizing that he had been untying them, then re-tying them up again. Nervous, he stopped and lied down on the other bed in the room. " im fine, just a nervous habit, that's all." He mumbled. " if your tired, you can sleep. Ill wake you up when its time to head to the airport." Madeline said as matthew closed his eyes and drift off into his dreamland.
The path that he walks on is drenched in blood, the only light there is nothing but a silver sliver in the night sky. The cold wind hits matthew's bones as he walked down a blood covered path. " where am i? is anyone there?" he said softly. Seeing tree branches in front of them, he moves them out of the way. " go die faggot!" what was that? quickly moving his head to the left, he listens for the noise again. Silence fills the air, and with that, matthew keeps moving forward. " die homo!" where the fuck is the noise coming from? Matthew starts to sprint, moving any branches that appear in his way. " you shouldn't have been born in the first place!" he felt a very cold chill run down his spine, letting a tear spill from his eyes. " where are you?! Tell me where the fuck you are!" he yelled into the darkness. No answer, just cold wind brezzing by. Fuck this. Matthew took off running towards the silver light. " fucking queer!" "why wont you kill yourself already?!" " if your gonna cut yourself, cut downwards so we don't have to see you anymore!" " just die!" tears spilled onto matthew's face, making it harder to run towards the small light.
A thick fog slowly appears in front of matthew, scaring the crap out of him, helping him start to have a panic attack. " where are you matthew?!" I know that voice. Running towards the voice, his heart starts to beat faster, hearing each beat and feeling each thump. " im here! My silver hair love!" "where are you?!" the voice yells. Falling a couple of times, he gets up and keeps running. Hearing a childs scream, he turns pale white, feeling faint. I have to make it. I just have to see who my silver haired love is…without dying of course. After what feels like hours, he stops running to see a bundle of silver hair. Slowly approaching it, the hair leads a trail, following blood splatters as well. Feeling the cold air, he sighes as he walks down the silver path. When he sees more blood than silver, a voice whispers into his ear, " go find your love matthew." He shivered when he heard that voice, he knew who it was: Alfred. " leave me alone Alfred! Don't come anywhere near me! I don't love you anymore!" but only hyseterical laughter answered him. he saw a golden figure, with long silver hair, convered in blood, weeping. " its ok. Im here for you. You don't have to cry alone anymore." Matthew said as he knelt down in front of the silver child, holding it close, not caring that he was starting to get covered in blood. " matthew, please find me." He looked at the silver figure, smiling. " I promise that I will find you someday." Tears spilled out of his eyes as he kissed the figure in front of him. feeling no heartbeat from the figure, his blood ran cold. Lightly shaking the figure, he starts to cry and shake slightly. " go die!" "" I should've killed you when I had the chance!" " why aren't you dead yet?!" where are these voices coming from?! Throwing both hands over his ears, he screams loudly and lets the tears fall out from his eyes.
As matthew shot out of bed, he fell on the floor and looked at his hands. No blood. That should be good, I guess. Madeline helped him sit up and looked at him. " are you ok?" " im fine. I just had a nightmare, that's all." He replied. He slowly walked to the bathroom and washed his face and to change his shirt. He came out and Madeline grabbed his hand, making him slightly blush. " let me change your bandages before we go." He looked at her and smiled softly. She walked him to one of the beds to sit down on, grabbed some bandages from her purse, and then slowly unwrapped his bandages. Wincing at the pain, he clenched his hands into fists, hoping that she would be done soon. After 10 minutes of being in pain, she smiled softly. " im done. But please don't pick at them anymore, eh. You can take them off after tomorrow, so that's a good thing." She said. Matthew looked at the new bandages, then standing up, grabbing his bags. " we should head to the airport now. Do you want me to have your truck airlifted to Canada?" she smiled softly, " that would help me a lot. Thank you so much." He looked at her for a second, then turned around smiling. " its nothing."
After getting both matthew's and madeline's cars into the back of the plane, they boarded and soon took off. Matthew looked into the dark, night sky, sighing softly. looking at Madeline for a minute, he looked back at the window. How can she sleep on a plane? Even though ive slept on planes too, and the fact that the seats are so fucking comfy, I cant close my eyes without seeing a nightmare. Feeling cold, he grabbed a blanket and looked out the window again. When will I ever find my silver haired love? He thought as he saw a flash of silver lightening in the sky.
