Chapter • 28 - A letter?

I hear a knock on my door and I tell them to come in.

Leo walks in and nods at me. He sits next to me on my bed and looks at me.

I haven't felt like myself all day. Just the events of yesterday has me feeling off, but I want revenge. I want to find out who did it and caused this. Who is coming after me?

Leo promised me he would keep me updated. He has been quieter and nicer today. Definitely not like him.

"So um, we found out a name that could be related to who is doing this. The name of the organization is supposedly called "The mons". We're still finding out more info but I'll continue to keep you updated." He tells me and I say okay. Not really in the mood for talking but I appreciate that he is at least telling me.

"By the way," he clears his throat, "how's, uh, Bella doing? Any information from her?" He asks me and I raise my eyebrows in amusement.

"Why are you asking me about Bella?" I ask him and he shrugs in annoyance.

"No reason. Forget it." He grumbles and gets up to walk out but I say his name and He stops and turns around. I can see a little hurt within his eyes and a little redness rising to his cheeks. Why does he care about Bella now?

"She is doing okay. She still needs time but she doesn't hate us or blame us at all."

He nods as if saying thank you, and walks out.

Strange.

I hear the doorbell ring and I close my book. We're not expecting anyone.

I run downstairs and grab the first thing I see, a baseball bat from Leo's room.

I inch closer to the door as the person repeatedly pressing the doorbell. If I'm going to have to open the door, I have something to defend myself with.

I pull the door open and I'm about to throw the bat at whoever is in front of me until I feel someone pull my arm back and grab the bat. I look up and open my eyes and see James looming over me with a cold stare. 

Oh jeez Luis-

I open my eyes more and look in front of me to see grandma laughing at what just happened.

Oh my god, I almost threw a bat at her.

She smiles and opens her arms wide, I run over and squeeze her tightly, and she returns it.

James softly putting the bat on a nearby table and walking out of the room in silence. I stay in the embrace of grandma as I take in the gravity of everything that happened yesterday finally. And I break down in her arms. Crying and it not stopping.

She is shocked by my sudden crying but quickly rubs my back in circles to try and calm me. She didn't ask any questions or say anything. And I'm glad, I needed this.

We finally separate and she smiles looking down at me and putting my hair out of my face. She then reaches out and grabs a tissue from a box and hands it to me. I take it and wipe my tears away while taking deep breaths,

"Let's go sit down on the sofa." She suggests and I nod following her and sitting down beside her.

"What's wrong sweetie?" She asks me concerned.

"So much has been happening. Random people have been after me, friends betraying friends, traitors, friends getting hurt because of me-"

"Not because of you. Because of the actions of the people who want to hurt you. Never blame yourself for this or else you will keep tearing yourself apart."
