"This afternoon four more teens have been murdered." Why does he keep doing this. "David Macnimaria, Shawn Boise, Buck Ty and August Marin have been stabbed behind a local bar. No one has seen the murderer in action, and no one seems to have any clue as to who has been killing the local teens but the largest guess is he goes to Concerts High School and is large enough to overpower a quarterback."

I can't take this shit anymore. Moms sitting on the couch as I turn off the TV, pacing the room and then falling to my knees and crying into my chest as she drinks her glass of wine, then sitting next to me and holding me in her arms. "Sweetheart, I know what those boys did to you-"

"It was just for good fun! To lift everyone's spirits!" I cry out.

"Pouring pigs blood-"

"I'm fine!" I sit up and yell at her, tears streaming down my cheeks. "My classmates are dropping like flies Mom!"

"And I get why you would be scared, Mae," her voice is soft. She cups my cheeks, wiping away my tears as I cry more. "I just need you to be safe baby. I want you to walk to school and straight home again. Baby, I don't want you to be the next kid to be killed."

"I-I don't either!" I push her hands away, standing up and pulling at my hair and shutting my eyes tight. "My boyfriend is dead and three day after he died I tried to kill myself over him! Now everyone's dying and I can't do anything about it!"

"Baby, none of us can do anything. Why don't I just make you some hot chocolate and-"

"No!" I scream as she tries to pull my hands away from my hair. I glare at her as I think of when we were fourteen, twisting my face as I think about it.

"Baby," I have to stay calm. If I don't all the bad things I've ever thought about Tyler will boil up an there's nothing wrong about him. "Baby have you been taking your medicine?"

"What medicine?!" I scream as she tries to hold me still.

"The medicine, you've been taking since you were eight–how could you forget to take your only medication?"

"I've never had medication!"

"Mae, stop yelling. Just go take a nap and I'll make you some hot chocolate and we can start talking when you wake up and-"

"No!" I yell as my body starts to go numb and my eyes cross and I start to get dizzy. "I want to talk about this now!"

"Baby you need to calm do-" her voice is cut off with my head hitting the floor.

§•§•§

I groan awake, shaking my head side to side and lifting my head off of the soft cushion, opening my eyes and groaning as everything that's blurry comes into vision. "Mae!" Mom hugs me, pulling me close and smiling, crushing me in a hug. "Don't scare me like that."

"I didn't mean to." I have no choice but to be calm. If I go into another fit I'll faint.

She cups my face in her hands, her hair falling in her face. "You haven't fainted in so long I got scared and I didn't know what to do. While you were like this I checked your medication and you haven't gotten a refill since you were eight. You haven't even taken them," she pauses, "Why didn't you take them? They seemed to have been working."

"I didn't know I had them." I look at my lap as she keeps her hands on my face.

"How could you not know? You were with us at the hospital when they prescribed them-" she stopped talking, looking at me. "You couldn't reach them, could you?"

I shake my head and she hugs me tight. "I guess over time I forgot about them." I bite my lip, my head resting on her shoulder I we listen to my laptop beeping. An incoming message from someone on my phone that's on the coffee table downstairs.

"That's okay Baby. Everything's going to be okay." She kisses the side of my head.

"Is Father coming back?"

She goes quiet. "No. He's going back to his skank Amelie."

"You're best friend?" I sit up and she nods, sitting up with me. We sit in silence, my laptop buzzing again, and again, and again. I pick up my laptop, opening it and shutting my eyes and hoping it wasn't real.

"What is it Baby?" She takes my laptop but I take it away before she can open it.

"I-It's private. Can you leave?" She lifts an eyebrow, then slowly nodding and leaving my room. I open my laptop and read the messages.
