The truth

Chapter Two

Kyle and I always walk to class together. But he's math test was earlier then normal. So we walked separately today. Then I run into Travis. Travis is my best friend. He is 17 almost 18 he turns 18 on May 4th if only he was 2 days younger he would have another year with his two brothers and his mom.

"Hey! Liz how are you?" He says. "I'm ok I guess. What about you?" I reply. "I'm good. Why just ok?" He says. I think about telling him about Justin. But I just don't know how to say it. "Just to much thinking about turning 18." I reply.

"I know. I'm more scared then I can even say." He says. "Kyle doesn't talk about it much but I think it's eating at him too." I say. "I'm going to cut school for awhile I need to find answers."

"WHAT!! What do you mean skip school? What kind of answers to you want?" He almost shouts at me.

"It's Justin! We got news he passed away!" I say almost about to cry. "Liz I'm so sorry. I didn't know. I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm sorry." He says pulling me into a hug. "It's ok you couldn't know. I mean how could you." I say now crying but quietly. I pull away from his hug gently "I'm okay now thank you." I say. "You sure?" He says.

"I'm going to find answers by talking to the government. Are you with me or not?" I ask. "Elizabeth you know I can't leave Josh and Jacob." He says almost sadly. Josh and Jacob are his two brothers. "I'm so sorry Liz. Just don't go you don't know anything about this people. They could hurt you or worse. How would you even find them?" He asks. "I don't I would some way and somehow. And they wouldn't hurt a little girl." I say louder then I meant to. "Okay okay I just don't want you to get hurt."

"Okay fine I wouldn't go." I say lying I'm going to try to escape when we get taken away. "Thank you." He replies. "Let's go to class now." He says "Okay." I say. He puts his arm around me like he normally does. I wonder if when we get sent away what happens. Do we get jobs fall in love or what? I can't help but image myself with Travis. I mean he's soo handsome for seventeen years old. His curly dark brown hair he's 5.9'. I wonder if he thinks we'd ever be more then friends. I mean I know him enough to know we'd be better off as friends. Cause the things we debate over can prove that we wouldn't work out as a couple.

The lunch bell rings I go to the cafeteria. I see Travis and Kyle which one will I sit with? I sit with Kyle cause we wouldn't be together much longer. Well I don't really know that cause no one knows what happens after the finale good-byes between friends and family. "Hey Kyle." I say. He had a science notebook out reading "Hey." He says without even looking up at me. "What are you reading?" I ask. "I've got an exam today I've got to study so yeah." He says. "Okay I'll let you study." I say kinda sad I mean who knows after a week we may never see each other again. "Thanks I love you sis!" He says. "I love you too" I say as I walk away. I go sit with Travis.

"Hey Liz!" He says. "Hey." I say back. "What's wrong? I can hear it in your voice your sad why?" He says. "I don't want to leave my family!" I say almost crying again for the second time today. I'm stronger then this I tell myself. "I know I know I can't leave my brothers. I'm afraid my mom won't be able to take care of them by herself. She doesn't have a sturdy job." He says like he's about to cry too. "My mom will look out for them I promise." I say. I know my mom she will watch over Josh and Jake. They are great seven and eight year olds. "I know she told me she would. I'm also afraid of what they'll to do us!" He says. "I am too. I'm so scared my parents always change the subject when I bring it up." I say "Same" He says. The bell rang lunch was over. We said good bye and went to class
