Our plot finally stirs. X33. Anyways, thanks for my reviewers. I hope this sequel would do justice to the first one. I really miss it. But I can't go back and work on the first one. XD. It's complete. Okay…
Let's move on.
2 – Sad Songs
Emma wakes up first. She always does and she shakes Matt's shoulders and his eyes flutter open quickly.
He hears the sound of Amelia Jericho walking into the room, pacing inside. "Hey! Emma!" Emma pounces towards her mouth and hugs her, and Matt stares at his 'aunt', who's now smiling brightly at her daughter, Emma.
On her blouse, there's a rose that looks all too familiar.
Matt squints to see the rose but figures it doesn't matter and he takes his backpack and realizes that it's around six o'clock and he's a little early but it doesn't matter. The teachers still look at him with a look of shame and the kids still make fun of him since the first day he'd been here, he'd been sexually harassed. People still steal his belts and let his pants fall. And he still the school hoe.
Matt meets up with Adam who's pouncing and hyper that morning. "Hey, hey, where's that smile?"
"I lost it."
"Come on, Mr. Emo. Smile." Adam commands, glaring at him. "Or else, I will unleash my Rated R Demon to come after you!"
"Hey, leave him for me," Adam twists his head to meet up with his boyfriend for around two years now, the seventeen year old walking to him and kissing him. Adam's hands slip into Chris's pants and Matt shakes his head.
"I'm watching."
"Watch but no taping, please. If we want to be in a porn movie, Chris and I want to be paid for being hot and spontaneous."
Matt rolls his eyes. Just two years ago, he doesn't even look at him. They're Jeff's friends, not his. They're in Jeff's band but he doesn't care anymore. He just finds solace in them. It gives him a moment to forget.
"JOHN!"
Oh, and there's Randy Orton and John Cena. Also been in a relationship for two years. But Chris and Adam have been in their relationship longer by three months. Randy stops as John plays with his belt, the charms hanging off the belt that looks all too much like a bracelet.
Only that time ago, Randy has been diagnosed with HIV. They're now taking their relationship very slow and very steady. John's never slept with Randy and Randy suggests they wait.
"Matty!" John exclaims, walking over to him.
"No one calls me Matty, 'Matt sighs, running his hand through his jet black hair. "Where's Phil?"
"Here, 'Phil's around the same age as Matt, this year's his last, the eighteen year old standing there with a soft smile on his face, walking next to him. After being abused and raped by Hunter along with Jeff, Phil's found solace in writing poetry. Matt finds himself going to this Gothic library with Phil to share his feelings. And even if Phil's not a Goth, he still finds beauty in their words. Matt just goes there to fall asleep. Phil walks towards Matt and hugs him. "Hey!"
After the horrific car accident that hurt Phil and killed both Jeff and their fathers, Phil has a scar on the left side of his face, and as much as Matt stares at it, he knows that it doesn't distract Phil from his natural beauty. Not much.
Phil walks with Matt to his class while Adam, Randy, John and Chris disappear into Math. Phil and Matt walk into science and sit down, trying to endure the entire day…
After school, Chris and Matt walk home.
Amelia's standing outside, looking down at Emma, smiling at her as Amelia looks back at Matt. Amelia has black hair and pale white skin, her eyes are an emerald green color and in that one moment, those eyes were…
Jeff's.
Matt shakes his head.
Those are right now are Jeff's.
He shakes Chris and points towards Amelia, 'her eyes…"
"What's wrong with them?"
Matt blinks and looks at the blonde. "They're Jeff's."
Chris looks back at them and raises his eyebrow. "I think you're losing it, Matt." When Matt looks back, he realizes that Chris's right, Amelia's eyes are back to the original emerald they always are…
Emma's now tucked into bed and Matt can't fall asleep.
Those eyes…
He shakes his head and slips out of his bed and walks around the hallways, stopping when he hears Aaron and Betsey talking. Matt peeks into the room and sees Aaron holding Betsey's arms so she doesn't wave them around.
"It's been so long, Aaron…he's been here a year and he's been in so many foster homes…"
"Give him some time, Betsey." Matt knows they're talking about him. "Matt's not only been abused by his father but raped, too. And you know, he's not normal…he's not like all of us…he's a schizophrenic…"
Matt's eyes bubble with tears. What does his little mental condition have to do with anything? He spins and holds his head in his hands, running off.
"Matt!" Aaron just notices that the boy's run off.
Matt stops in his tracks when he sees Amelia and just buries his head into her chest, crying his eyes out, while Aaron and Betsey follow him.
Amelia stares at them, 'I think you've done enough." There isn't much edge in her voice but Amelia's not that type.
She takes Matt to her room and sets him down onto her and her husband's bed, wrapping a blanket around him. "Hey…" she wipes away his tears, walking towards the fridge and getting him a box of apple juice. "Drink this."
He sips the drink and stares up at Amelia. "Amelia…"
"Matt-"
"They're worried about me because I'm a schizophrenic…what does that have to do with anything? I know I'm weird. I know that I've been raped and abused but I don't care. I want to move on…not remember that! I don't want their pity!" Matt exclaims, staring up at her, trying to find sympathy in those eyes.
But Amelia seems to be out of space…her emerald eyes softening to those eyes of Jeff's as she sits down and she blinks. "Matt?" her voice is soft.
"Jeff?" Matt finally realizes as that all too familiar smile makes its way towards Jeff's face.
"What—?"
"Matty," Jeff chokes out. "I—her—"he points to the rose, 'it was on my grave, Matt and… I don't know. I guess my spirit's in this rose, my body's decayed but this one rose just my spirit in it. That's why it's still alive after two years and when she wore it…I could take over her body…and…and…"
Matt doesn't say anything as he leans up towards Jeff's face and kisses him and even with Amelia's body, Jeff still kisses the same way. "Oh, God, I missed you so damn much, 'Matt says, getting on top of Jeff and kissing him as hard as he could until Jeff's lips turn red. Jeff pulls out of Matt's grip. "Matty…" Jeff says breathlessly. "I need your help." His voice's as soft as ever.
Jeff looks down. "I don't know how she got my rose, Matty. And I don't know if God's just giving me a second chance but…"
Matt puts a finger on his lips and then leans down to capture Jeff's lips into a kiss again, getting on top of him and Matt's body presses against his as hard as possible, leaving Jeff breathless again.
"Well, well, well…"
Matt twists his head in fear to see the honey eyes of pale faced boy, with a French dot on his cheek, a smirk on his lips and his neat hair's in a warm shade of brown as he walks towards them. His clothing's all black and nothing else. He shoves his hands into his pockets. "Did I ever tell you that Amelia's one of the Devil's toys?"
Jeff lets out a soft whimper. "W-what?!"
Ian smirks and chuckles darkly. "I'm Ian, nice to meet you, too, Jeff."
"How—?" Matt starts but Ian walks towards them, staring at them both.
"You see, it's true what Jeff did say. The rose that was on that grave sucked the power of Jeff's soul and then a man gave Amelia the rose because he loved her. The graveyard belongs to him. His name's Mark Calaway. And she just wore the rose…so Jeff took control of her body, that's the right part of the story. What you didn't know is Amelia. You didn't know that not only is her daughter, Emma, but also she's a sex toy, a servant, one of my coven, the Devil's little toy. You should never sell your soul to the Devil, right…?"
Ian walks towards Jeff, tucking a strand behind Jeff's ear, 'so Jeff… I guess I can't control her now because of her but I have to tell you…" he bends towards Jeff's ear so that he can only hear the next words. "I can give you your body back, Jeff…do you want to be you again…?"
"He's not for sale!" Matt says, grabbing Ian's shoulder and pushing him backwards. "You're not taking my brother's soul!"
"But…" he touches Jeff's shoulder, 'do you want to be yourself or do you want to be Amelia…?"
"Jeff, don't listen to him!"
Jeff bites his lip and before anything could happen, the door swings open and Ian's disappeared and there stands Amelia's husband, Jace Dane, in the flesh, walking towards Amelia and grimacing at Matt. "Shouldn't you be in bed, kid?"
"Can't sleep." Matt says.
"Get out of here, schizophrenic."
Matt slowly nods his head before he hops off, ready to sleep but looking once more at Jeff's eyes, who's looking at him with desperation. Jace walks towards the door and watches as Matt descends to his room.
"Goodnight, midget."
Sad songs replay in Matt's head as he tries to fall asleep…
