CHAPTER 6
HIDDEN TRUTHS
§ LOUIS §
I made my way to Subway, where I always went to get my fix of a tuna footlong sandwich. It'd been weeks since I saw Steve at his house now. Deep down, I knew I would never be able to get over what I'd fucking witnessed, and what I'd found out about who my stepdad really was... but I had to at least try to take my mind off it.
When I arrived at Subway, I saw Keelan standing outside of it, eating a pizza, looking like he was about to murder the poor fucking food. As soon as he saw me, he coughed awkwardly, putting the pizza back into the box, embarrassed. I rolled my eyes at him, doing my best to ignore him and just go into the shop to buy my food. I was fucking starving.
"Hey Louis..." Keelan began, rubbing his neck sheepishly, like it had taken him all the courage he had in him to come up to me and speak to me.
"Why are you there everywhere I go?" I scolded angrily. "I came here to buy a bagel, not to see your ugly face lurking around here."
I rolled my eyes again, annoyed.
"I was wondering if we could put our differences aside," Keelan admitted.
"And why would I do that?" I snapped, folding my arms angrily.
"I'm worried about Ellie," Keelan sighed. "She hasn't been at school for ages." He took a deep breath in, scratching his arm awkwardly. "I was wondering if we could go round to hers and check if she's okay."
I rolled my eyes. "Who cares about her, she's probably crying cos of a broken nail."
"Come on man," Keelan begged. "I had an argument with her and she seems to like you. She'll probably let us in if you're there."
I really couldn't be arsed with this. I had enough of my own shit to deal with, without having to add other people's problems to my fucking plate. But I knew Keelan would never stop begging until he got what he wanted. In my years and years of knowing him, that was one thing that was fucking certain.
"Fine," I sighed, taking my head into my hands as Keelan smiled at me victoriously.
