Hero's Dead Brother

29. Who?

I ran. Ran as fast as I could. The blood from my hand was marking my path. He could follow me with it. I wrapped my hand in my shirt to stop the bleeding and ran until I found a place to hide. I crawled under the bed trying not to leave a blood mark.

"NOAH!"

He was getting closer. 'Help me, God, please! Help me! I'll do anything! I'll be a better person, I know I'm dirty but please...'

"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE WHORE!"

I shut my mouth with my bloody hand hoping Mike wouldn't hear me. But he walked straight to my hiding place and I could see his legs until he got down to look at me with his scary green eyes.

I couldn't breathe but I somehow managed to beg "N... no, no! M... ike ple... se! P... ease d...nt!"

A hand came closer and my whole body started to shake violently... but it suddenly stopped for some reason.

"A... Ami..."

When I reopened my eyes, it wasn't Mike anymore but a concerned Greg.

"Ami, what happened? Dad! Mom! Call a doctor!"

He turned to me. "Ami, Ami get... get out, it's ok! It's fine, Ami. What... why are you...?"

He had such a stressed face... I scared him. Made him worry. I have to quickly get out.

I creeped out of under the bed and managed to stand up.

"Oh, Greg. Hehe hi!"

I saw Caleb hesitantly appearing behind him. When she noticed that I was looking at her, she lowered her head and took a step back.

Was she the person I pushed? I... I saw Mike... as soon as Noah put his hands over my sight.

She was slowly walking away. I had to stop her. Her face looked so sad!

"Hey, Caleb hahaha." I waved at her and forced a smile.

"I'm so drunk I thought you were a bear. Haha I was so scared I cut my arm hahaha!"

I waved my bloody hand in the air but her expression got worse.

What... what have I done? I made her so sad. She... she's hurt. Her face looked like she hated herself. No! Don't! It's my fault again! Why are you blaming yourself again?

My brother used magic to heal my hand and there wasn't a scar left. 'I wish Noah had such a brother'. 'No! Why am I thinking about Noah again? It's all his fault! It's all...'

Caleb looked terrible!

I need to stop this before it ends like last time.

"Hey, Caleb! Come help me!"

She flinched ad looked at me, surprised. I have to fix this. She can't blame himself again!

"Haha come help me go to bed. I'm waaay too drunk to go alone hahaha."

We walked past my concerned parents and I smiled as much as I could.

"No need to call a doctor, mother, father! Haha I just need to never drink again. Looks like I can't handle alcohol. Haha good night everyone!"

As we arrived to my room, Caleb put me on my bed and quickly turned around to leave with a bitter face.

I grabbed her hand.

"I... I had a vision. And it has nothing to do with you. You're... you...you're not the reason why I... freaked out. Really not. I...I'm just weird like that haha... so. So just forget it ok?"

She looked at me for a while.

"Will you hate me if I ask...?"

"No! No, you can ask... I owe you at least that!"

"... Who's Mike?" I tried to keep my calm "and where can I find that bastard?"
