Chapter 8 - The Apology

The next in school Noxan was again 10 minutes early but this time everyone was already in the classroom

not one student except him was Missing.

Everyone looked at Noxan, disgust painted on their faces. Then, out of nowhere, Sylas rose. Each step he took thudded like a sudden gust, a wind slicing through the air, stirring the tension around them, making the walls hum with unspoken energy. The kind of wind that doesn't just move, but demands to be felt, pushing everything in its path, unpredictable, sharp, alive.

Noxan took a deep and loud swallow with enough saliva to fill the oceans.Everyone saw the fear in his trembel.

Sylas raised his hand and slept him, everyone was shocked and silent as if the wind just turned.

Sylas said

"Someone plays big ,not apologizing to someone who you hurt, your truly the leaves in the wind, gaining the front light without putting in energy"

Noxan couldn't hold it in anymore and yelled in tears faster than waves and reaching deeper them the ocean,he was drowning in his own Chaos:

"I… I never meant for my waves to crash where you stand, to let the currents of my mind spill over and drown you in what I cannot contain. I only wanted to glide beside you, quiet, invisible, like water slipping past a stone,but even that small current betrayed me. My tides broke free, uncontrolled, and now I can't even hold myself together.

Every heartbeat shakes me, every motion of my restless soul spills outward, and I feel it all pressing back, heavier than the sea itself. My own hands, my own mind,they stirred storms I never asked for, and now I am left clutching at the surface, gasping, broken, trembling.

I… I can't stop it. I can't stop the waves. I feel them crash, I feel them crush, and the tears come, unbidden, salty as the ocean, as if my grief itself is flowing over me. I didn't mean to hurt you,not in thought, not in action, not in a single ripple but the storm doesn't ask for consent.

Let the water remind me of my failures. Let the ocean press on me, let it make me feel how little I can control. Let the moon witness that my tides are not meant for you, and yet I can't stop the flood. I weep, I break, I drown in my own chaos,and I pray you never have to bear a drop of it."

Everyone just stood there watching Noxan tears drowning the classroom with no wind, just pure suffer.

The sunlight struggling to shine in,but they didn't bring hope they brought darkness like the moon in the endless stars.

Sylas realized how deeply Noxan was hurt by his own mistake,by his own tunami.

*It hurt him more than it did me...*

He wanted to grab Noxan,slap him again and hug him,he wanted to yell at him

"WHY ARE YOU CRYING,HOW ARE YOU HURT WITH STABBING ME?"

but he couldn't,he didn't wanna be seen gay.

So he just stood there,in the silence with everyone else

Noxan suddenly stood up and ran away carrying the waves he caused with him.

Multiple students ran after him,and yelled through the carrying wind.

"STOP COME BACK!"

Noxan tought they wanted to make fun of him,so he searched a ~~~ to jump out... ,before they could judge him.

He searched and found one ,like water always finding its way.

Suddenly Sylas screamed:

"NOXNA PLEASE COME BACK, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT SPINNED YOU IN THE STORM!"

Noxan suddenly collapsed on the floor,he became unconscious.
