8. The Truth

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING AT ALL AHH. School started up and so I've been busy with getting ready and doing school work. Also around 3 weeks ago, one of my best friends sadly passed away in an accident.. Though no need to tell me your sorry, humor is my coping mechanism so I'd appreciate if you don't be all "i'm sorry for your loss blah blah blah blah" just tell me a few jokes maybe??

Anywho on with the chapter!!

"That isn't true.." Dad said, he's face turning to more of a cold one. "What do you mean? C.C and Elizabeth went to go with their mother!" "No Y/N.. They didn't.." Then what happened to them? Why would Michael lie to me about it? I wanted to see them and say hi, I haven't seen them in forever!

"Then where are they? I wanted to say hi, i'm sure they've gotten so big! I hope they remember me!" "Y/N.." I stopped my frantic talking. Why does he look so sad? Am I talking to much? Did mother call..? "There was an accident.. and I think you misunderstood something.." What's he talking about. "They never found Elizabeth..."

My heart dropped. I never thought about that, It's been 3 years so I was sure they found her. "And C.C got into an accident a few months after you left.. He's gone now.."

"WHAT?!" Oh no no no no no. This cannot be happening, this isn't a funny joke. Yet I can tell it isn't a joke, dad wouldn't joke like that. I can't even cry, I just sit there shocked. Michael.. He said the last person who called him that was C.C.. That's why he was so jumpy.. Fuck..  I take a minute to compose myself before I ask "What kind of accident..?" My voice cracking. Dad shakes his head, "Michael wouldn't want me to be the one to tell you..."

I get up quickly and run to the phone, calling Michael's home number. He doesn't answer though, no matter how many times I call. He knows, he knows I know.

I need to know what happened, even if I had to walk back over to the Afton's. So that's what I do, I get ready and I head back. It's getting dark so I do it quickly, practically jogging to the house in the distance. I knocked on the door but I still got no answer. "You can't just leave me out here!!" I yell. I know Michael heard me becuase I heard a shuffling sound and then him run upstairs. I groan and stand outside for a bit before I remember something. When we were little we would always sneak into each other's windows at night and nobody would know. How did I get up there though...? THATS RIGHT!! I went into their shed in the backyard. It was William's old work area, before he started working in the basement. Me and Michael turned it kind of into a play area but It was old now.

I grab the latter from the side of the room, I then ran out becuase I saw a spider. I went up to the side of the house, the side were you couldn't see the ladder from the front of the house. I placed it up and started climbing. The ladder was wobbly and one of the steps broke when I stood on it but after a while aj was able to get on the roof. I go to his window and try opening it. "Shit, it's locked." I look inside and don't see Michael but I do see his shadow. Stupid bastard wants me to believe he's not in here. "Michael I know you're in there! You can just leave me out here all night. It's cold and dark." I say but he doesn't answer.

I have an idea..

I scoot over to the side of the window, where he can't see me. I then kick my legs so it sounds like scraping. Oh noooo, I fell off the roof. I then stay quiet, not making anymore noise. I hear the window click and Michael looks outside. "Y/N..?" He whispers and I jump inside the window, knocking him over in the process. "Owieee" I say, getting up from the floor. I look over at Michael who has moved over to the corner. He looks.. scared. "Why are you so scared Mikey..?" I ask and he flintches. "Y-you don't know.. what happened with.. uh.." He stutters and I finish his sentence. "C.C? I don't know what happened, dad never told me so I came over to ask you. He shakes his head. "No way, I cant tell you.. I cant lose you.." What is he on about..? "You ar-" "YES I WILL.. yes.."

I just stare at him. Why would he think I was going to leave him.. No matter what. I walk up to him and he backs up into his wall. "Y/N please.." Why is he crying..? I mean his brother um.. had an accident but.. Why is he so scared of me..? I wipe the tears off of his face as he shakes.. in fear. "Please don't be scared of me.." I say, now I'm tearing up. "I-i'm not.." "You're trembling..." We stand in silence for a few minutes, Michael avoids eye contact the whole time.

"I killed him.."

"What...?"
