Unspoken Truth

"I'm sorry.I'm sorry. Mr. Arthur is no more. He couldn't make it. He couldn't make it ..."

It's been two days...For the past two days these words have been echoing in my mind.

For the past two days, I stayed locked up in my room and only came out when no one was home. Darien came and knocked on my door multiple times telling me to come out and eat with his family but I repeatedly refused. After the constant knocking on my door, I eventually forced myself to go out .

I knew I could never forget what happened.It was stuck to me now and there was no way I could ever forgive myself. I didn't know how to tell my mom about it nor did I have the courage or strength.

Byron was kind enough to drop me home that day since he said he was really worried about me and there it was...a silent drive... as I just watched cars driver by.

I couldn't say anything,moreover I didn't know what to say. I had no clue as to how the whole situation made Byron feel and what he was thinking.

The last text I texted Byron was the day after the incident
Which was:
"Thanks for dropping me home ...I just need some time alone now ..."

I sat down on the dinning table when suddenly,my phone rang .I checked to see that it is was the doctor calling which means the DNA test were out.

"Hello?"

"Hello Brielle.How are you?"

"I'm good thanks..."

"Well...I hope you know the reason I called you"

"Yes I do ."

"Well"he said with a sigh before continuing
"The results are out".

"Andd?"

"The test came out negative.Mr. Arthur is'nt your father".

I took a deep breath before talking again
"Thank you doctor.But would you mind if I came to the hospital and checked the test results?"

"Yes but with what reason?"

"Sir,you know what happened to my relative ...I don't know if the criminal tampered with the test.Please allow me to just check it ?"

"Okay,I can understand.I'll leave the test on my desk.I may not be around so just tell the receptionist and she'll lead you to my office"

"Okay .Thank you doctor"I said relieved as I hung up .

I ordered a cab and left for the hospital.Just as the doctor said,the receptionist showed me to his office and the results weren't tampered with . I hadn't been going to school since the incident and I was sure it would take me longer to feel like going to school again .

I decided to stop by and see how everyone was doing since I hadn't seen Byron ever since he dropped me home and I knew he didn't want to visit because I told him I wanted to be alone . Luckily,it was recess and I knew I would see him outside.He was walking outside and I could see he was deep in thought because he seemed...lost?

A blonde girl ran up to him and hugged him .I knew I didn't know her because I had never seen her before .She seemed to be really close to Byron and I got a strange feeling that he was intentionally not telling me anything about her because he was never secretive in our relationship.I was about to walk over and ask why there was some chick running all around him like he owned her money but I was stopped by the honk of the cab driver .I forgot that I planned to drive home only after knowing how Byron was doing ...And apparently he was GREAT since some other chick was all around him now

I went home boiling of anger.If i saw that spoiled brat around him I would make sure I'd tear her hair out.
I locked myself in my room and decided to go back to school the very next week just to confront him.
