Cole's P.O.V.
I know I'm late for my next class, but that doesn't bother me anymore. I'm usually late, so I'm sure the teachers don't mind. I go to my locker and get my things. A feel a heavy hand on my shoulder. I look and see Shawn and the gang.
"Hey Shawn." I say. He didn't look to pleased though.
"Where's the knife?" He asked bluntly.
"What knife?" I reply looking at the others for some kind of support.
"Oh come on Cole, I trusted you. Travis said he gave you the knife."
I stood there confused, but irritated. I cast my glance at Travis to hear his input. But he didn't say anything. I could feel my temper risi

Xavier's P.O.V.Last session was hell. All I could think about was his girlfriend. I'm a mess. Why am I even obsessing over him? He clearly doesn't want anything to do with me. He already has a lover, what am I to him? I can't be his friend, because he is already friends with Shawn, and Shawn hates me. Even if we were to become friends, my selfish self would want more, I'd want to be his boyfriend, but he wouldn't want that.The bell rang, I got up from my seat and went to my locker.6221There were no yellow sticky notes. I still need find out about the previous ones. I grab my bag and quickly exit the school. I look up and see that the sky is grey.

Xavier's P.O.V."Please!" He begs, once more."Why?" I yell feeling frustrated and confused. All my emotions swirled inside of me, banging on the inside of my body, screaming for escape."Because I don't want you getting wet!" His tone laced with concern. Silence consumed us before a rush of emotion imploded within me."Why are you being so nice to me?!" I scream, feeling almost defensive. My heart was racing a million miles per hour whilst the rain battered down on the both of us. Cole ran up to me."Because, I li- I don't want you getting sick. Your parents will worry."That triggered me off. My emotions couldn't hold steady any longer. It almost felt like my being was ravished by my intense emotions. Some have been trapped in their for a while, I'd imagine they would look rotten and hor

Cole's P.O.V.Xavier waved goodbye. He looked anxious and so small in front of the house. I wanted to stay with him. He told me his parents would kill him if they found out. I really wished that wasn't the case.I drive off to my place so I can dry off and put more... how do I say it? Party type clothes on. Sarah would arrive very shortly. I got out of the car. None of my parents or siblings were home yet. So I didn't have to greet anyone. I went straight up stairs, put on my leather black jeans, which I quite like, and another long black singlet on. I dry my hair and put on my red cap backwards, I look pretty good, not being vain or anything. I spray deodorant on and go downstairs. All that was on my mind was Xavier. I hope his parents aren't as harsh as he told me they were.A knock on the door startles me. I get up and peek through the peephole to see Sarah. I open the do

Xavier's P.O.V.My hands start to tremble as I stand in front of my father."Who was that, son?"Did he see him?"Come inside, come on." He acts nice around the neighbours, but once I step inside, it's a different person.He slowly closes the door, turns around and smiles at me. It reminds me of a predator, smiling at its helpless prey.My breathing becomes faster."Who thefuck was that?!" He threw the lamp next to him off the table, making it smash into a million pieces.I can't speak.I'm frozen."Whose jacket is that?!" He towers over me and shoves my left shoulder, I stumble away from him."Because I know it isn't yours!" He rapidly charged towards me, ripping the jacket

Xavier's P.O.V."Xavier. Xavier wake up." I hear my mother, she gentely shakes me.I open my eyes, my body is aching all over. I am in agony."I know it hurts darling, sit up." She says sweetly, helping me sit up.My sight is a bit blurry, but I could make out the hot chocolate and pancakes which were before me, the smell helped too."Is he gone?" I ask, referring to my father."Yeah, he is at work."The simple thought of him made me want to tear up."It's okay. Drink up, and I told the school you won't be attending today." She left the room. She was being so considerate and caring. My heart felt as warm as it would be when I take a sip of hot chocolate and tuck into a piece of my fluffy pancakes.I feel a bit sad, kno

Cole's P.O.V."Hey Ash." I say through the phone. I decide to call my sister."What do you want?" She responds, angrily."I need you to pick me up, I'm near th-""I am at school.""Yeah I know.""Well? Where's the logic in that Cole?""How am I supposed to get home?""Cab? Walk? I don't know. I need to go."She hangs up.A cab didn't sound like a bad idea. I find it hard to believe I was that stupid I didn't think of this before. I check my pockets to see if I have any money. I find $50, that should be enough. I dial a cab and sit on the curb of the old dusty road waiting.Moments later I hear the tyres on the rocks, tiny pebbles shoot out at every angle.

Cole's P.O.V.I run towards Xavier's house. I still remember where it is, from the last time I went there.With my breath all gone, and my legs aching, I reach the house. My heart is pumping so hard I can hear it echo throughout my body. I don't see any cars outside.Maybe his parents are at work.Metaphorically, I have two roads I can go down.One, I knock on the door and hope that Xavier is there by himself and fine and I can know for sure if he is okay, but I risk the chance of his parents opening the door and killing me and Xavier.Or.Two, I can walk away and have the thought of Xavier being not okay in my mind, pestering and worrying me until I see Xavier at school.I stand there thinking.Which is the best option?
