Madison's POV

It was like the whole world has stopped. It felt like Knives were being plunged into my heart as my stomach began to do flips like a roller coaster.

Stay away from Austin?

I couldn't. I know I said it would be a good idea for his safety but, I can't even stay away from him just for a second!

I needed Austin with me by my side.
I just got him back! I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

I sound so selfish.

Getting up from the steps, I make my way into my house to see mother fast asleep on the living room couch.

Walking over to her resting body, I grab the blanket that laid on the love seat to place over her body.

Making my way out the living room, I go up to my room and plop myself right on my bed. I needed sleep.

So much has happened today that I just couldn't think straight.

Not only did I lose one of my closest friends but I might be losing Austin too.

Why was this person so damn harsh? What did I do to deserve this?

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"Madison, wake up. It's time for school" I hear my mothers voice shout as she shakes me until my eyes were wide open.

Sitting up to stretch, a small yawn leaves from between my lips.

"Good morning mads." my mother says, a small smile across her face.

"I made you some breakfast. It's downstairs on the counter."

"Thanks mom." I groggily say, still tired.

Reaching for my quilt, I remove it from my body. As I get off my bed, I make my way straight into my bathroom as my mother exits the room.

Doing my everyday routine, I exit out the bathroom to place on my outfit for the day.

Once In finished, I grab my bag and phone and make my way down to the kitchen to see French toast smothered in syrup on a big plate.

"I think you should hurry and eat up. You might be late to school." My mother states, making me nod.

I honestly didn't care if I was late today. I really didn't want to go to school and have to face Austin and Lauren as well.

If I bumped into Austin today, I know he would keep questioning me why I had planned on going home without him.

Sadly, I couldn't be near him at school. That creep can be watching me.

I shivered at the thought.

I didn't want Austin to get hurt.

Taking my time on finishing up my French toast, I place my plate into the sink.

"Mom, I'm leaving now" I tell her, grabbing my bag and phone off the table. She places a quick kiss on my cheek.

"Have fun at school sweetheart. Oh and don't make any plans for tonight!" I looked at her confused.

"why?"

"Because-" she starts as she goes to the sink to wash up my dish. "Michele, the lady from my book club, and her son are coming over for dinner." I froze.

If Michele came over for dinner, that meant... "Mr.Mahone will be here too?"

"Yes dear."

This can't be happening.

"Why do you sound so scared mads? You know Mr.Mahone. He's your teacher! Nothing bad is going to happen"

Actually, his life turning into hell would happen!

"Besides, it's a school night. They'll only be here for a few hours. It's just dinner." I give her a fake smile.

"o-okay. I'll see you later" with that, I rush out the house, my body in complete shock as my eyes were still wide.

How am I going to stay away if he will be here tonight?!

I smack my hand against my forehead. This was not how I planned on staying away.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

"How's it going with Lauren?" Matthew asks as I sit across from him. It was now lunch am I decided to sit with Matthew due to Lauren and I not talking. Things would just be awkward.

"Not so good" I sigh, stabbing into my chicken.

"we still haven't talked since last night." Matthew nods, showing me he was paying attention to my dramatic events in life.

"I mean, I want to apologize but I think it's best if I stay away with everything going on and-"

"wait, what's going on?" My eyes become wide when I realize what came out my big mouth.

"Y-you know...school and exams coming up. Graduation." I stutter out, clearly nervous of myself for almost blowing up the real reason why Lauren and I won't speak. I trusted Matthew but I didn't want him getting in the mix and probably get hurt himself.

Matthew looked unsure about my answer. "Well, I hope you guys work out your friendship. You two were pretty close." I nod my head, still upset on the events from yesterday.

As I take a glance around the cafeteria, I spot Lauren sitting alone, eating. I would of been sitting with her, talking about something probably stupid if I didn't push her away just to hang out with Austin all the time.

I can't even hang out with Austin anymore.

Austin.

Did he know he was coming over tonight? Did I really want him over tonight with everything happening?

No. But it wasn't my choice for him or his mother to join my mom and I for dinner.

Maybe, it won't turn out as bad as I think it would. We would be inside my home. No creep stalking me inside.

All I had to do was stay away from him outdoors.

Damn, that is going to hurt.

Maybe I should just not worry about tonight. Nothing can happen around my mother nor Michele.

Right?

Will just have to see what the night has in store for us.
