Chapter 11
Chapter 11
My Aunt agreed to help me finish the final exam in a private institution and join me in any other school. In that way, I can see my parents too. I wish I could help them get out of this mental illness. My sister might have died, but I'm still alive. But they made me feel like I'm only alive outside and dead inside. My life is a mess. It couldn't get any better. I can only wish for it.
The next day, Sofia and I entered the school. I'm not a student anymore but I have a reason to be here. I got all the photos and footage stored on my phone.
" Recheck it twice, Maddie. Veronica's hanging out with Peter behind Xander. It should be out at first. I took a lot of effort to take that footage." Sofia reminded me and we both stood at the entrance of the floor where everyone's locker is located. We arrived at the class time, so no one will notice us.
" I rechecked it thrice. How could I be so careless?" I will never be. The last job is to send it all to our school group. They messed with my life and I'm messing with all of them. It's going to be chaos. At last, I hit the send button with satisfaction. All footages are loading. It may take a while but it's worth it. I don't want anyone to suffer due to people gossiping behind them and stalking them.
" Are we gonna leave now?" Sofia asked as I silently opened the bag I bought for school. I sent the softcopy and it's time to expose the hardcopy.
" What are you doing?" Sofia asked in confusion as I started sticking all the photos we took by stalking our classmates in everyone's locker.
" It may take a lot of time to identify everyone's locker."
" I'm not identifying anything. I'm just randomly sticking it. The floor will be a mess if everyone's comes for the break. And they don't need to find who did it. I already signed my name in those photos. Let them know that I did it and they can hate me for it. I don't care. I'm so sick of bearing it all." I told her without regret in my voice. Everything that happened in my life made me emotionless.
" I didn't know you got this much anger in you." She stood there watching me with wide eyes. When I finished it, the bell rang. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
" Such nice timing. Let's get out of here." I grabbed her hands and ran down the corridor as fast as we can. This is how the last day is supposed to be. When I reached home, I looked at all the packed luggage. I'm only going to be here for 14 hours. I spend the whole day in my room without having any conversation with anyone. Not even my Aunt. I got lost in my misery until the doorbell rang at 8:00 pm.
" Is it Sofia?" I wondered and went downstairs to open the door.
" Henry?"
" Hey, I know you are leaving today. I thought I could visit you. Can I come in?" He asked politely. I looked at this blond hair shinning in the night sky and he has a disappointed look on his face. I wish I could stay here for Henry. I don't have the heart to look at him before leaving. I have to admit that I will miss him. Now he's here, I can't send him away.
" Come in," I smiled letting him in. We both entered my room. I know my room isn't looking great. I don't have much money to make it look great or buy something that I wish to have in my room.
" So, Were you been avoiding me? Are you planning to leave without saying anything?"
" I'm sorry, Henry. I wasn't feeling good. But I wasn't avoiding you. I couldn't talk to you cause it will make me sad that I won't be here anymore."
" I'm feeling the same, Madison. I never thought you will transfer because some stupid asshole took your picture with Xander. If I take it all back, I would have never kept a party."
" If this is how it supposed to happen, I can't change it, Henry. I can deal with it. I know that I will leave me someday. That someday is tomorrow." I frowned.
" I wish you could stay a little bit longer here. On the bright side, your departure made a mess in everyone's life. I couldn't get that out of my mind. Our classmates acted like a psycho and made our principal go crazy." Henry told laughing about it. He knows it. It seems like I succeeding in something.
" Is it true? Tell me everything. Was everyone knows that I did it all?"
" Who wouldn't? You signed your name everywhere. Even if you wish to come back to our school, there won't be a one percentage change for it. At the class time, everyone got the notification of the footage you sent. All were scrolling and watching while the teacher went insane due to the distraction. When we all came out, everyone has gone absolutely crazy, blaming each other, trying to consult each other. You did what you said in my house." Henry told me while I don't know whether I should regret what I did or be satisfied that I stayed true to my words. From how Henry talks, he's not angry at me for what I did.
" Why aren't you angry at me? I messed up with everyone by stalking them all. It's not a good job."
" Is it because I didn't add your name in it?" I added.
" No. That's not the reason. But you have to explain why you excluded me. I think they all deserve it. They all are the reason you left the school. If no one took that picture, you would have studied here. Now, I lost something I like. They ruined my life too." Henry meant every word he said. I never know that someone will care for me apart from Sofia.
" You didn't lose me, Henry. I would stay in contact with you. I promise." I got hold of his hands as I spoke.
" I'm glad to hear it," His hands caressed my cheek and he leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him without hesitation. I really like him, I admitted to myself. I hate that I have to leave him.
" You are important to me even though we know each other for a very short period. So, I didn't have the heart to hurt you in anyways and no matter what you trust me and helped me these days. That's why I didn't stalk you." I told in between kisses.
" Is that so?"
" Yeah, don't you wanna know why I left Xander out of this mess?" I asked him.
" I guess he's already in misery. He saw all the footage of Veronica."
" Oh, actually I couldn't find anything by stalking him but..."
" But he still suffers because of Veronica." Henry finished for me. Then we stayed silent for some minutes. I better not think about Xander. He's never going to realize what he missed in his life. It's time to time to move on.
" So, I guess this is goodbye,"
" Until we meet again one day," Henry said with hope. I'm looking for that day too. I kissed him one last time and smiled to hide the pain.
