Lovechain
Chap 8
a/n:I don't blame you if you hate me! I'm dying to find out what happens next aswell! I am ready to go! This next chap has mild swearing here and there!
"Maddy! I...don't...understand!...I...thought...you...loved...me!...Why?...How?..." Michael stammered, lost for words.
"Michael, I'm sorry! I do love you, just not the way you love me! I am so not into boys the way I should, I suppose! I've known for ages, but apart from me Nicole's the only one that knows!" explained Maddy.
"So why Nicole?" Michael asked slowly.
"I was helping her decide something." whispered Maddy.
"What who's lips to kiss? When were you gonna tell me?" shouted Michael.
"No! I wasn't gonna tell you! I needed a cover! I'm so sorry! I couldn't tell anyone, except Nicole!" whispered Maddy.
"You used me! I hate you! I'm never gonna talk to you again!" screamed Michael, then he ran out of the room.
He left Maddy standing, staring after him.
"How could I have done this?" Maddy questioned herself, "I suck, I am so horrible! I've broken his heart! I better go to Dustin!" then she strolled towards the boys dorm.
When she got there she found Mr Bender and the rest crowded round Dustin. Logan had his arm round Dana, Chase was comforting Zoey, who was crying into his shoulder, Adam and Quinn were looking shocked, but they were holding hands, Rachael was cuddling into Paul, Nicole was trying to avoid eye contact with Paul, Michael and Maddy, Michael was shooting nasty looks at Maddy and Nicole, Mr Bender was lifting Dustin's eyelids up, checking his forehead and he kept glancing at his watch and poor Dustin was lying limply in his wheel-chair.
"Where is that bloody ambulance?" shouted Mr Bender.
"It will be coming!" said Adam comfortingly.
"Yes, but I wish it would hurry up!" Mr Bender shouted even louder than before.
"Mr Bender, just calm down!" Maddy cried.
Everyone stared at her, except Nicole and Dustin, Nicole was still trying to avoid looking at her and you know why Dustin couldn't.
"Oh look at Miss Perfect! Did you hear what she said? Well you should have seen what she was doing!" exclaimed Michael.
"Who's 'she' the cat's mother?" Maddy shouted back.
"No, the girl who was kissing Nicole! What's her name again? Oh yeah, Maddy!" Michael said rather loudly.
"Shut the hell up, Michael!" Maddy whispered, but Adam still heard him.
"Maddy is this true?" Adam asked softly.
Maddy burst into tears and nodded her head.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you kiss Michael and then Nicole? I can't believe this! I thought you told me everything!" Adam half-questioned, half-screamed.
"I...don't...know!...For...a...cover...up!...To...help...her...decide...something!...I'm...sorry!...I'm...so...sorry!" Maddy said between sobs.
"Hello, guys! I see you've got issues, but there's an even bigger issue here! Dustin!" shouted Mr Bender.
Then they heard squeaky wheels, like on a shopping trolley. Then two paramedics came in with a bed.
"Where's the casualty?" one asked.
"Right here!" replied Mr Bender, "He just got out hospital earlier today. He fell off some rocks yesterday and broke his leg and temporarily lost the ability to speak!"
"Right, well this could just be a relapse!" the second paramedic reassured him.
"A relapse can't that sometimes be fatal?" Zoey cried.
"Yes, but only one in a million." the first paramedic told her, "Now who's going to be in the ambulance with him?"
Zoey stepped forward.
"And who's coming with me?" asked Mr Bender, expecting them all to want to be there for Dustin.
"I will!" Rachael cried, even though she was freaked out by what she'd seen, but her boyfriend was yet again unconscious.
"Logan and I are coming!" called Dana.
"I am!" Logan cried.
"Yes!" Dana roared.
"I'm coming!" shouted Quinn, she was starting to feel guilty about all her experiments on him.
"I'm not!" whispered Maddy.
"I'm staying too! Just to get an explanation!" cried Michael.
"Me too!" whispered Paul, "And Nicole should stay too!"
"Alright!" Nicole mumbled while looking her at her feet.
"I'm staying aswell!" everyone stared at him, "For my little sis!"
"I'll come!" Chase said reluctantly.
Zoey then reached up and kissed him on the cheek, then she walked off with the paramedics and her unconscious brother. Quinn, Rachael, Dana, Logan and Chase all got into the back of Mr Bender's car while Mr Bender got into the front of his car. Then they drove off.
In the boys dorm Michael was still staring at Maddy, Maddy was crying, Paul was trying to get Nicole's attention, Adam was standing beside Maddy holding her head against his chest and Nicole was still looking at her feet.
"Maddy, Shhhh! It's alright!" Adam was trying to calm Maddy down, "Everything will be alright!"
"Everything will not be fucking alright!" Michael screamed furiously.
"Like you know the story!" Maddy screamed back.
"From what I've heard and seen you're a...a...LESIBIAN!" Michael shouted.
"Sorry, I can't love boys, it's not a crime!" Maddy shouted back.
"Yeah, but it's not exactly the best when you find your girlfriend kissing one of your best-friends!" Michael screamed.
"As I said before, I was helping her decide something!" Maddy screamed back.
"What, who to cheat on her new boyfriend with?" Michael shouted.
"Actually, she was helping me to decide whether I loved girls or boys!" Nicole grumbled.
"Nicole, why didn't you tell me?" asked Paul.
"I was scared, but Maddy found me yesterday and talked to me! I was so confused!" whispered Nicole.
"So what did you do then? Decide to make-out?" Michael said horribly.
"No, no! I did that to help her, that was just today!" cried Maddy.
"And that was the only way!" Michael said sarcastically.
"No, but it was the most efficient!" yelled Maddy.
"It was! It really was!" Nicole cried, trying to defend Maddy, but she just made it worse.
"Maddy if I never...in fact, I am never gonna speak to you again! Blame yourself!" Michael roared then he ran and jumped into his bed.
"Nicole, come to the beach and talk with me?" gestured Paul, then he walked towards the door.
But before he got there black ebony hair went swishing past. Followed by another. Nicole walked a few paces behind Paul, but she did follow him. Michael just lay there on his pillow.
"Why me?" he sobbed, "It's not like I deserve this! I haven't done anything wrong! You know me, I know me, so why has this happened?"
In room 102 Maddy was pouring her eyes out, she was also baracading the door.
"Maddy, let me in!" Adam shouted, "I just wanna talk to you!"
"I'm...not...letting...anyone...in,...except...Quinn!" Maddy sobbed.
"Why Quinn?" asked Adam.
"Duh! It's her room!" Maddy shouted.
"Maddy please talk to me!" Adam begged, "You know I'll always love you! You're my little sis!" then he sighed, "I suppose I'll just have to ask Michael!"
"You wouldn't!" Maddy gasped.
"Of course I would!" Adam said rather loudly.
Maddy stepped away from the door and let him in.
"Well, now what happened?" Adam asked as he pushed her down onto the couch.
"Ever since I was twelve I never thought about boys in the way my friends did, instead I thought about girls." Maddy replied, Adam looked at her and gestured for her to go on, "This year the urge has got even bigger! Then I met Michael. I thought he was sweet in a friendly way, but when he kissed me at the cinema it felt right. When the movie ended and Nicole wasn't there and I went to find her. I asked her what was wrong and she said... she said..."
Michael was standing at the door listening in.
"Don't mind me! I'm just waiting for you, Adam. How long will you be sitting in Quinn's dorm admiring her stuff?" Michael asked, he was pretending that Maddy didn't exist.
"Probably quite a while!" Adam replied, "She has a lot of beautiful stuff!" he had decided to go along with his denial process.
"O.K! See ya later!" Michael shouted then he walked away.
"You could have told him to quit it!" Maddy cried.
"I thought we should leave him to deny it, then when he's ready he'll accept it! Now please carry on!" Adam said encouragingly.
"She said that she didn't think she loved boys anymore, so I told her I knew I didn't love boys. Then today to help her decide I kissed her!" Maddy said calmly then she started to sob.
"Have you had any, you know, relationships?" Adam asked quietly.
"Just one, Alison!" Maddy whispered.
"That's why you two were so close!" Adam whispered back.
Maddy nodded her head.
At the beach Paul and Nicole were sitting in the sands.
"Nicole, why?" asked Paul.
"I don't know!" Nicole whispered, "I just felt left out at the cinema, but then I found out you had feelings for me and I had feelings for you! Then I couldn't remember which was me and which was imagination! I had to check which was real so I let Maddy kiss me!"
"Couldn't you just have talked to me?" Paul asked slowly.
"Probably, but I couldn't do it!" Nicole answered as fast as she could.
"So are your feelings for me real or just your imagination?" Paul asked quietly.
"Yes, of course my feelings for you are real!" exclaimed Nicole.
"So why did you kiss Maddy?" Paul asked anxiously.
"I don't know! She kissed me and I just went with it!" Nicole cried, then she burst into tears.
"Shh! Don't cry, sugar plum!" Paul said comfortingly.
"You're not mad with me!" Nicole sobbed.
"Why would I be mad?" questioned Paul.
"Cause I kissed a girl!" Nicole sobbed louder.
"That's no reason to be mad!" exclaimed Paul, "Come on, back to your dorm! I 'might' tuck you in if you stop crying!"
Nicole sniffled a few times, then stood up.
"I'm coming! I love you more than anything! Do you love me more than anything?" Nicole babbled, back to her normal self, "Race ya there!" then she tore off up the beach.
"Wait up!" cried Paul.
When he caught up with Nicole, she was stood stock still.
"Nicole what's the matter?" Paul asked, then he looked at where she was looking.
Michael was standing in front of her smirking.
"Oh a gay girl! Keep her away! I don't wanna catch cooties!" Michael screamed.
"Michael stop being so childish!" Paul roared.
"Why? She's gay and probably does have cooties!" Michael shouted.
"Nicole is not gay! Maddy kissed her and she got lost in the moment!" Paul said calmly.
"I am not gay! Michael you know I'm not!" cried Nicole angrily.
"How do I know that? You've never had a boyfriend!" Michael shouted furiously.
"Alright, you've never had a girlfriend does that mean you're gay too?" Nicole screamed.
"Good point, I'm sorry Nicole!" Michael whispered and then diverted his eyes to his feet.
"I don't know! You didn't believe me! What about Maddy? How is she? Have you seen her?" Nicole started to babble.
"Who's Maddy?" Michael asked sarcastically.
"Your girlfriend, mate!" replied Paul.
"I don't have a girlfriend!" Michael said sarcastically.
Nicole lent over to Paul and whispered in his ear, "He's in denial!"
"No he's not he's right...Oh I get it!" Paul whispered back.
"Just go along with it!" Nicole whispered quickly.
"Right!" Paul accidentally said aloud.
"Right, what?" Michael asked curiously.
"Right, you don't have a girlfriend!" Nicole said quickly, before Paul could open his mouth.
"Thanks, for understanding Michael! Bye!" Nicole called as she continued her race with Paul, "You're gonna lose, Paul!"
"That's not fair!" Paul cried as he tore after her, "Bye, Michael!"
When they got to room 101 Nicole was tired, but she had won. She jumped into bed.
"You have to carry out the deal! I stopped crying, so you have to tuck me in!" Nicole cried as she scrambled into her top bunk bed.
"I know!" Paul panted.
Then he stretched up to her bed and pulled the duvet right over her. He fondly stroked her hair for a few minutes until she fell asleep. Then he kissed her forehead and tip-toed silently out the room, only to bump into Adam.
"Hi! How's Maddy?" Paul whispered.
"Traumatized!" Adam whispered back, "And Nicole?"
"Happy, fast asleep! We better go and find Michael! He's in denial, with your sister that is!" explained Paul as he shut the door, then he added, "I knew your sister was too perfect!"
"What's that suppose to mean?" exclaimed Adam.
"You know, that she looks and acts perfectly, just like you I suppose, but you're too brainy, she had to have something weird about her, but she got the worst thing!" Paul rambled.
"Right, I get ya! You've been with Nicole too long! You're rambling! A ha ha ha!" Adam said slowly, "Where do ya think Michael would be?"
"Me and Nicole just saw him down the beach! Ready to go?" Paul replied.
"Yeah, sure!" Adam sighed, maybe living at PCA would be harder than he thought.
When they got to the beach they found Michael pouring sand through his fingers.
"Hey, man!" Paul called.
Michael looked up nervously, then gave a weak wave, then he went back to tracing his fingers in the sand. Paul and Adam sat down beside him, one either side of Michael.
"Do you wanna talk?" Adam asked.
"About what?" Michael asked slowly.
"Maddy!" Paul cried.
"Who's Maddy?" Michael asked as if it was nothing.
"Your girlfriend!" exclaimed Paul and Adam at the same time.
"As I said before, I don't have a bloody girlfriend!" Michael shouted.
"Yes you do, Michael! She's my sister! You've been dating her for a whole day! Come on, man!" Adam cried angrily.
That did it, Michael started to cry, "I...love...her!...I...want...her...to...love...me...back!...Why...can't...she...love...me?"
"She wants to! But she can't! She's trying to, but she can't! Why don't you just be her friend, that's what she needs!" cried Adam calmly.
"I can't bear to look at her, how can I be her friend?" Michael whispered.
"She didn't mean to hurt you, she's made her self ill worrying that she's hurt you!" Adam whispered back.
"She's ill!" Michael cried.
"Not very bad, but she's depressed!" Adam replied.
"Just going to see how she is!" Michael shouted, then he ran up the beach towards the girls' building.
Paul and Adam strolled up the beach after him, only they turned towards the boys dorm.
At the hospital Zoey was standing watching Dustin, who was lying on the bed still unconscious, Rachael was kneeling at Zoey's feet holding Dustin's hand, Quinn was sitting on the floor beside Rachael feeling a little guilty for all the experiments she'd done on Dustin, Chase had his arms wrapped round Zoey's waist, Logan was nuzzling Dana's hair, Dana had her head on Logan's chest and Mr Bender was sitting in the chair rocking backwards and forwards staring at Dustin. Then the nurse the same as before came in with a doctor.
"We're going to have to take Dustin down for a brain scan in the morning, but for now I suggest you all go back to PCA and get some sleep. Dustin has to stay here for the night, but Zoey and Rachael you can come back in the morning. The rest of you I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay at school, then you can come over in the afternoon." The doctor rambled on, "And by the way I'm Doctor Samson!"
"Maybe the rest of your friends would like to come in the afternoon aswell!" the nurse suggested.
"If they haven't killed each other!" Zoey muttered.
"What was that Zoey?" the nurse asked.
"Nothing!" Zoey said.
"O.K! Ready to go?" Mr Bender asked quietly
"Yes!" the group whispered.
Back at PCA Michael was walking into the girls building.
"She's hurt me so much and she's the one depressed! Maybe I should give her what she deserves!" Michael whispered to himself.
He walked into Maddy and Quinn's room, but instead of asking how Maddy was he walked up to her and slapped her across the face, then he ran out the room. Maddy just sat on her couch looking mortified.
Then she started sobbing uncontrollably.
"Why did I have to hurt him?" Maddy asked herself.
Nicole came in her eyes shut, "Can you keep it down in here, I'm trying to sleep!" she shouted, then she span round and walked out.
"I don't think she hates me too!" Maddy whispered, then she crawled into her bed a fell asleep.
In one of the boys' dorms Adam was stroking a picture of Maddy as a toddler.
"How can you do this to me?" Adam asked the photo, "You could have told me! I would have helped, I promise!" then he also climbed into a his bed.
In another boys' dorm Paul was wriggling into his pj's.
"You know what, it's a good job I'm understanding if I was someone else I would have dumped her!" then he flopped onto his bed and closed his eyes.
In Logan, Chase and Michael's dorm Michael was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling.
"I love her! I slapped her! I hate her! No, I love her! I'm so confused! I'll sleep on it!" Michael was arguing with himself.
Then he turned on his side and shut his eyes, but he couldn't sleep.
