SHAKE ME
Chapter 2.
Madison went to school the next day, just as she always did. The wound was gone thanks to Yue. Her mother had believed the story that something had flown through the window and shattered the T.V. It was a good thing that by now she knew how to clean out the blood from the carpet.
Blood…..
She shook her head. No better not to think about it. Better to forget it ran through the vein there, right under her wrist. Best to forget that on deep slash could end all the lies.
End it all…..
No! She shook her head and walked into the class room, and stopped.
Li and Sakura had their heads together and were whispering intimately.
Stop….
They moved a fraction closer.
Stop….
She smiled, he looked into her eyes….
STOP!!!
Li turned towards her and she realized that she had dropped her bag. She hurriedly picked it up and walked over to her seat. She felt a blush rise up to her cheeks and firmly told it to go away and plastered on her smile. It almost faltered.
Li was staring at her, and he looked, concerned…..?
About her……………
Then Sakura was talking to them both.
"Hey! It's a beautiful day and I thought we could all go down to the beach today. My dad said it would be fine.!" She looked so hopeful that Madison agreed, like she always did. Li also agreed, after a bit of coaxing. They arranged to meet there at three and then class started.
Three o'clock came around a lot sooner than she expected and they were there at the beach. The three of them, and of course, Madison had her camera. She watched them live through the lens. Watched them laugh and play and talk and swim and….
She couldn't take any more……………
She dropped the camera and stared, eyes seeing the beauty all around her….but never once taking it in. What had happened to her. What had changed today, then a hand on her shoulder turned her around and she knew. As she stared in those brown eyes that held concern for her and her alone she knew….
He cared…………..
About her…………..
But……
Why……………..?
WHY NOW???
"Madison. Are you okay?" He stepped closer. No she couldn't take this. He loved Sakura. Not her!
Right……………..?
"Madison?" She stared at him and her eyes held everything, and he knew. He knew what she felt. She felt the tears come as he just stood there. Frozen.
Waves………..
She opened her eyes and looked down. She was standing on a cliff, had been to get better shots.
Down………………….
She knew what she had to do. She didn't know how to swim, so this would be perfect.
The end………………of her pain
She jumped.
Felt the impact her body made in the water and let go. As the darkness overcame her she heard one last thing…
"WATERY CARD!"
