Crazed by Angel Vaught (phonics readers TXT) 📕

*"Oh Michael you're so cute." Emily bragged squeezing chubby cheeks, everyone looked at her thinking that she was crazy for hanging out with a boy like me, but she loved me and I loved her and everything she did; she was the only girl at school to accept me for who I am. "So, are we going to are secret hideout today?" She smiled cutely and pecked me on the cheek. She took my hand and guided me into the forest; I guess it wasn't really a question. After a little bit of walking we stopped by our cave we hang out at. We basically live there because Emma has a bed, little refrigerator, a fishing pole, dishes, and lots of other stuff, and we always sleep there too. She went inside and dressed into her swimming suit, and man did she look beautiful. I got mine on and went into the water, it was cold but I got over it when Emma went over and started holding me, "Man it is cold can ya warm me up Mikey." She buried her face in my chest while I rubbed her arms.
We played and swam, after we sat down and watched the sunset. I gazed at her, the water on her body was sparkling from the way the sun shined on her, and it was so perfect. I know I'm only seven and I might not know what love is, but something in my heart aches but doesn't hurt, when I'm around her I get so happy but nervous, I don't know what to say anymore and what would happen if I say something stupid then screw this relationship up. Then, when I'm not around her my heart aches and it does hurt, and then I become flustered I panic and get angry knowing that she's not around me and that she could be hurt or in trouble, I know it's stupid. "Emmy I have something to give you."
"Mikey I have something to give you." We both said at the same time and we laughed, "Well let's show together ok." She smiled sweetly while we both got out a black box. She gasped and pounced around excitingly, well I guess I already know what the answer is. She took my face and kissed me as hard as she could, it felt good. She pulled out my ring and it was big and black with little green L's halfway around it. She put it on my finger and she told me it looked handsome on me. I pulled out hers and it was a purple diamond ring, "Oh Mikey u got my favorite color." It look like she was about to cry, so I hurried and got it out getting ready to put the ring on. As I did so I saw a man behind Emily with a knife. My eyes went huge, "What is it Mikey." She turned her head and screamed, but the man quickly cupped her mouth and dragged her away. Emily dropped her ring and I just watched it fall slowly into the water, I then looked around and seen that I couldn't see Emily anymore, but what I could see was blood covering everything even me, Emily's blood. After a while everything turned into blood, I started to cry as I watched Emily being tortured by the man, and I just stood, stared, and did nothing, I'm so weak and worthless. She looked at me with blood coming out of her mouth and nose, her hand lifting towards me crying. "Michael, I love you. Michael!"*
"Michael get up." I woke up screaming Emily and my friends were standing there bug eyeing me. "Nightmares again, Michael are you sure you're ok." Raven went over to comfort me.
"Get out." I said quietly looking at my blankets pointing to the door.
"What?" She shook her head. She was worried I know, but I didn't want her to see me like this or anyone else I wanted to be alone.
"Get out." I roared and everybody did so. I get out a brochure of psychiatrists on it, and try to find the one that is the best. I then get up and put on t-shirt, I check the weather and it says it’ll be warm so I put on some shorts. I love you. Damn just get her off your mind; let’s go have breakfast that should do it. I walked in the kitchen and seen everyone gawking at me, but I ignored them and headed for the biscuits and gravy.
