Chapter 5: Rage
Kevin wasn't in school the next day, and he didn't call me last night either. It wasn't like him, and it had me worried. Even Alexander wasn't here. I had to find out why he wasn't here, and why he didn't send Alexander to take his place. " Excuse me Ms Williams . . . can I go to the nurse I'm not feeling to good ". Ms Williams just looked at me and then she sighed. " Fine. Go ". I got up picked up my stuff and left the room, but instead of heading to the nurse I walked into the stairwell. I sat against the wall and began texting Kevin.
Kevin . . . where r u? Y didn't u send Alexander if u weren't going 2 b in skool 2day. Txt me back. Luv u.
*~Jade3Kevin~*
I waited and waited. Nothing. I checked to see if he had gotten it, and he did. There was the tiny check mark as clear as day. So I decided to call him. Maybe he would answer if I called. I thought as I dialed his number. It rang and rang. Then I heard a click like someone had picked up. " Kevin h- ". No it was the answering maching. I waited for the beep then I began to leave my message. " Kevin . . . I'm worried. Why weren't you in school today, and why didn't you send Alexander. Please please call me back. I love you. Bye ". I hung up and leaned my head against the wall. I couldn't go back to class now. Ms. Williams would know I didn't go to the nurse. " Maybe I can call my dad to come get me ". I called my dad. " Hello " he said rather tired. " Daddy can you come get me. I'm not feeling to well ". " Ok. I'll be there in five minuets honey " he said. " Thanks " I said then I hung up. I didn't like lying to my dad , but I had to find out what was wrong with Kevin. I couldn't wait any longer.
* At home *
" I have to go back to work. Will you be ok here all by yourself "? " Yes daddy " I answered with a smile. " Alright " he said. Then he drove off. Alone. That meant I could go see Kevin. I dropped my stuff off in my room and left to go see Kevin. I was praying the entire time that he would be alright and that nothing bad had happened when he left yesterday. When I finally got to his house I hesitated before knocking on the door. I knocked on it twice. No answer. I knocked again. Still no answer. Just then I heard a loud crash coming from inside. I jumped with suprise. I had a bad feeling about this. A very bad feeling. I slowly reached my hand out, and I turned the knob. The door swung open. I was appalled. The house was a disaster. This couldn't be Kevin's place. Theres no way. I kept saying that in my head over and over. I took a few slow steps foreward. There was broken glass everywhere and blood on the walls. I walked further until I was in the living room. What I saw next turned the dream I had had into a reality. I saw someone with midnight black hair pick Kevin up by his throat and slam him into the wall. My hadn flew to my mouth and I gasped. The man threw him onto the ground and kicked him in his head, stomach, and chest over and over. I thought that this mad man had killed him, and I about ran over to him when his tired, bloodied, sky blue eyes opened and met mine. There was a warning in them. A warning telling me to stay away. The man picked him up by his throat and slammed him into the wall again. " Let this be a lesson to you Kevin. You will obey your father. You will do as I say, and you will Keep away from that human. Is that understood "! Kevin didn't say anything. His head went limp. The man threw him to the ground and disappeared. I ran to him, and fell to my knees beside him. " Kevin . . . Kevin "! I kept saying his name over and over as I held him close to me. He opened his eyes slowly. He was very weak. If that was his blood on the walls then he had lost a great deal of blood. " Kevin " I whispered my voice cracking. " Kevin . . . we have to get you to a hospital. Your badly injured ". As if he didn't know that, but I couldn't help but tell him anyway. " N-No . . . n-no d-d-doctors p-please " he said weakly. A tear fell from my eye. " But . . . Kevin . . . you need to see a doctor . . . you've lost so much blood and . . . and ". I couldn't even finish my sentence I broke down crying. He took my hand in his and gripped it. " I-I'll b-be f-fine " he whispered before his head fell limp to the side. At first I thought he was dead, but the strong grip on my hand told me that he was still alive. I felt more tears make their way out of my eyes, and down my face. Why? Why would someone do this to him. I was completely lost in my thoughts until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked back quickly and saw Alexander, and a girl about 18 with pale blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and skin like porcelin. " We'll take care of him Jade " Alexander said as he walked infront of Kevin and picked him up gently in his arms. I nodded. I could trust him. I had to. I watched as they carried him up the long spiral staircase. I stood up and wiped my eyes of the tears. Just as I walked outside I heard a vaccum start up. I ignored the sound and kept walking. I needed to be alone. I walked home and headed straight for my room. Once I was inside I fell to my knees and started crying. All I could think about was if Kevin was still alive or if he left this horrible world of pain and suffering. I heard my window open and shut and that caused me to jump a little. " Jade . . . we need to talk ". What was he doing here?
