Life as a Staff Meister

Chapter 12:

Mason's Cold:

Miley is afraid of Thunderstorms?

"So... You heard all of it then." Miley said fearing what her teacher might say.

"Yeah, I did. You don't have to worry, the only other person I may tell is Marie. It can just be just be between us." Miley hopped down the wall. She was glad that nothing would change. Things could just stay the way they were. She hopped down from the wall. She noticed Stein was looking at her.

"What?" She asked. He walked over to her, he started using his hand to measure something. "What are you staring at?"

"I think you grew a few inches Miley." The professor said.

"No, geez, not you too." Miley whined.

The next few days went by surprisingly quiet. Stein had a feeling it was about to all blow up. Well he was right.

"No, Miley I'm fine. I can go..." Mason broke out into a coughing fit.

"Well okay. Do you know what happened that last time I went to school sick?"

"Other than you nearly died."

"Well remember Stein's a doctor, he can sense a cold 12 feet away. He'll drag you off to the nurse himself." Miley said buttoning her coat.

"Maybe you're right, I shoul..." He began coughing again. Miley turned him around and pushed him toward his room.

"I'll see you when I get home. Get a lot of rest."

Mason hadn't gotten any better when the weekend started. Miley was getting worried. Mason was just sleeping it off or he was trying to. It wasn't really working. Miley was wondering if she should take him to the nurse. She was brought out of her thoughts by Mason coming out of his room.

He looked horrible. He was pale expect for the bright flush of fever. He looked groggy and weak. He opened his mouth to say something, but had to close it again. It showed the soreness in his thought. "Do we..." he paused to get his voice back again. "have any... soup?"

"No, but I'll run out and get some. Sit down before you fall down." She lead him to the couch. After she made sure he was going to move she headed out to the store. She looked up at the sky, there where dark clouds starting to loom over head. She knew she had to hurry, that was just the thing they needed was for her to get sick too. She quickly headed up the street to where she needed to be.

Stein and Marie where walking home for dinner. They heard a roll of thunder over their heads. Marie looked up. "We should hurry or we're going to get wet." She said to her partner. Stein just shrugged. They continued on their way.

Mason had heard the same roll of thunder and didn't take it as lightly as the two teachers. He jumped out of bed and grabbed his coat on his way out the door. The adrenaline that he was feeling was keeping him from falling over. He needed to find Miley and fast. He was downtown in half the time that he should have been. It had started to rain. He saw the flash of lighting and remember one night over the summer.

He was sitting in his room. He loved watching thunderstorms out his window. They looked so amazing. He heard a very quick knock on his bedroom door. He called for who ever it was to enter. Miley came into his vision shaking. He hurried over to her. "What's the matter?" He asked wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"I...I...Don't like them." Thunder rolled and the lighting flashed. She barred her face in his chest.

He didn't want to think who she was going to act being outside. He kept running. Mason felt his body slowing down. He was being to lose against his fever now. He tried of thinking of that night, keeping only that his mind. It was a good idea till he found the puddle and slipped. He didn't fall to the ground though. Someone had caught him.

"Should I tell you, what happened to your partner in a storm?" Came the sarcastic voice of Fraken Stein.

"You've seen her?" Mason asked rather shocked. "And you left her alone?" He began to pant. He really wasn't feeling good.

"What are you talking about?"

"Miley's afraid of thunderstorms." He panted, no this wasn't good at all. He needed to find Miley. "And I mean terrified."

"I didn't know that." Marie said. "Mason you're burning up! You shouldn't be out in this."

"I have to find Miley." He slurred.

"No, I'll find her, Marie take him home please." Marie nodded at her partner and headed off supporting Mason, who was too weak to fight.

Stein began looking in every street, alleyway, and door fame. He found her, at first he hadn't seen her. Miley had made herself as small as possible. He heard her before he saw her. She was crying, and sounded like she had been for a while.

"Miley..." He wasn't really sure what to say. "It's me..." She looked up at him.

"It's so loud..." She half sobbed. "I don't like it."

"Let's get you home." He sighed he knew it wasn't going to be that easy. This clearly wasn't a small fear of hers. "It won't be so loud inside." He watched her gulp but come out. She was soaked with both the rain and her tears. When she got out there was a flash of lighting. She hid her face in his chest. He was mentally kicking himself for sending Marie with Mason. This was more of her area than his. He would make due, like he always did with Miley.

The next day at school, he pulled Miley aside. There was one question he had to ask her. "Why thunderstorms?" He asked, she knew what he was talking about right away.

"When I five I got locked out of the house during one. I had to spend the night, in one of the crawl spaces in a playground. It was so loud. Every time on comes it just go back there I guess."

He decided to hold his tongue on how no one noticed that a five year old was missing. "I just wanted to warn you, that there is another on coming tonight. So do us all a favor and stay home.

Later that night there was a knock on Mason's door. Miley comes in holding her pillow. "Can I sleep with you tonight." She drops the pillow and thunder booms over them.

Alright, that's chapter 12! So tell me what you think. So I would like to know how is everybody doing and where you all went. Haven't heard from you in a while. Alright shout outs!
