A/N-I finally have a cast list! It'll be posted in the authors note but this is a picture of 14 year old Abby
It has been a day since the party and I can't wrap my fingers around everything that happened. Someone knocks on my door and then comes in, I look only to see the one and only Caiden Baxter
I feel a pounding in my head and then images of Caiden as we were younger flash through my mind and I see Caiden kissing Wes at that party. I shake my head and try to look at him.
I go to hit him but he puts his hands up in surrender "I just came to see if you were okay-"
"Like hell you were" I say and a look of hurt flashes through his eyes
"Yes I am Abby, I care about you-" I can't hear the rest because those words float through my mind and then I see the image of that horrid video and then I see Wes that day and I scream and he tries to touch me but I push away
"NO you don't care about me, you don't care about anyone"
"Abby what are you talking about?"
"You don't remember me C? Huh? Do you remember my brother Wesley? It's your fault he's dead-"
"Abby what Wesley did was not my fault-"
"Yes it was! You posted that picture and if it wasn't for that video too then he would still be here! YOUR THE REASON HES DEAD CAIDEN! YOU KILLED YOUR BEST FRIEND AND YOU TOOK HIS SISTER WITH HIM! YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" I shout and he tries to calm me down but I back away a gain and I fall in the floor but I push myself back until I hit the floor
"What happened to Wesley was not my fault Abby, no I didn't recognize you, you look completely different. You died your hair, you wear make up, it's a whole different ballgame. Yes I did bad things in the past but I swear to you that I did not-" I cut him off by putting my hands to my ears and rocking back and fourth as images of that day flash through my head
"Wes don't go, stay and help me with my homework your smart" I say and his voice fills my head
"I have to go Abs, I'm meeting Caiden" his name echoes through my head like the pounding of a drum and all the events leading up to his suicide come through my head.
Then it happened "people aren't always what they seem Abby" he says while slitting his throat
I get images of my mother screaming at me and my father arguing with my mother and basically watch my family tear apart again
Then I start getting images of the way I retaliated which was through music and reading. I remember in sophomore year I died my hair brown because every time I look in the mirror, I see him and I break down. I couldn't take the fact that there was nothing I could do about it, by the time I got to him it was too late. Memories of his smile flash through my mind and I start hearing voices
He did this Abby, it's his fault Wes is dead Abby, he might as well have killed your brother
"STOP IT! MAKE IT STOP! get out, GET OUT!" I scream and next thing I know it, Anthony and Maddie come running through the door
Anthony's POV
I called Maddie and asked her to hang out today. She's a really nice and amazing girl, just her attitude is amazing and I decided that I was going to ask her out. But, As I was about to ask out Maddie, we both hear a loud scream coming from down the hall I look at her and her face turns pale
"It's Abby I know it" she says while running and I run after her, she stops short at the door
STOP IT! MAKE IT STOP! get out, GET OUT!" Abby screams to Caiden and before I can do something about it, Maddie pins Caiden against the wall
"Now your gonna talk and you are gonna talk right now Caiden. Why the f*ck is my best friend on the floor having a panic attack right now?" She shouts at him and I go over to Abby but she pushes away and there's a look in her eyes that I can easily acknowledge as fear so I grab her shaking hands and look at her
"Abby, listen to me, whatever Caiden did that made you like this is making you freak out. Your having a panic attack and you have to calm down before something really bad happens" I say and tears well up in her eyes
"I can't stop the voices. This hasn't happened to me since he committed suicide. My brother Wesley and it's h-his fault. He's the reason he's d-dead" she cries while shaking really badly
"Um guys" I say but they are to busy. "GUYS!" I shout and they look at me "she's shaking, her whole body is shaking we need to take her to the infirmary" I say and they come rushing over, just as about Caiden was about to pick her up, I stop him "I think you've done enough damage to last a lifetime now your going to help me lift her, Maddie you open the doors for us and once we know she's okay you have a hell of a lot of explaining to do" I spit angrily and we carry her to the infirmary
"What is wrong with her?" Our nurse asks and Maddie talks
"She was having a horrible panic attack and then she started shaking and she passed out. We didn't know what to do so we brought her here" she says and we all nod
"Get her on the bed, I'm gonna check her vitals" she says and me and Caiden place her on the bed as the nurse takes her blood pressure
"Her pressure is dropping, I can give her an IV but that's all I can do. It's up to her if she wants to wake up or not. I'm sorry kids-"
"Give her the IV, I'm a medical major. In high school, my mentor told me that if anything like this ever happened, we need to check the vitals, make sure she keeps hydrated which would be the IV and hope for the best. Guys she's right all we can do is pray" I say and Maddie starts crying
"It's late, you kids go get some sleep and come back in the morning to check on her" Nurse Nina says and we all nod and walk out of the infirmary but what I wasn't expecting once we got outside was for Maddie to pin him against the wall and for him to be scared
"Caiden Rory Baxter, you tell me and you tell me right f*cking now. What the hell did you do to my best friend?!" She shouts and he puts his head down
"It wasn't my fault"
"What the hell are you talking about?" We both say in unison
Caiden's POV
"What the hell are you talking about?" They both say in unison and I explain the real story. The truth of what really happened that night at the party
-------Flashback 14 year old Caiden----
"Come on Caide, it'll be fun" My senior friend Jack from the football team says and I nod. Back then I was scared of them. I was afraid of not being liked so I did it.
"Come on Wes, one more" I say and Wesley takes the drink from me and chugs it.
"Woooooo! I feel like I can fly, I feel great. I wish Abby was here to have fun with us!" He slurs with excitement and I smile
"Me too" but then I already regret it, he passes out and we carry him upstairs and throw him on the bed. He comes to and then I look at Jack and the boys and they nod
"Wes, I'm gay too. I r-really like you. C-can I K-kiss y-you?" I manage to choke out and he grabs me and kisses me and that's when I take the picture.
"Do it Caide" Luke (another senior from the team) says and I shake my head
"No. I can't- no, I won't. I won't do this to him. This will ruin him and I am not that type of person. You guys can go and jerk it off with each other but I will not be part of it. Can't you see that what your doing is wrong?" I say and they all smirk
"You people make me sick" I say while exiting but Jack stops me
"Give me the mask" he says and I am shocked
"Your still doing this?!" I shout and he smirks I throw the mask on the floor
"I can't believe I wanted to be one of you. Your all awful people and I don't understand why I ever wanted to be one of you. I'm not gay, yes I like Wes, he's my best friend but not in that way. I won't do this to him, I won't ruin him and for you to do that makes me sick. You call yourselves men? If you were real men then you'd walk away but I know your not going to do that. You prey on people when they are at their weakest points and I will not be a part of that" I say while walking out and slamming the door and I hear Wes screaming my name
"See, I didn't do it. I didn't want any part of it. I left-"
"You left him there screaming and you didn't do anything?!" Maddie shouts while Anthony throws a punch at me and to be honest, I deserved it. The whole reason I became a player was because of Wesley's death, wrong I know but that was my way of coping, me and Abby stopped talking because she stopped talking to everyone which is one of the reasons I didn't recognize her.
We all just stand there in a heated stare competition and I start crying.
Maddie's POV
He cries
Anthony's POV
He cries. Like a breakdown cry. I have never seen this from him before. Well what are we all gonna do now?
