The fastest way to kill a Someone AndWhy

Chapter Nineteen: Telling Stories

Everyone was telling stories. Stories about the times they've had in The League while going on missions.. Some people got personal.. It was weird meeting people's parents for the first time. Like I knew your child for all this time, but I never met you? I only knew Cade's and my old best friend's parents.. The one I punched in the nose.

His parents gave me nasty looks mid talk into their conversations.

I was the odd kid out. I didn't have my parents with me.. I just felt weird being that I was the only guy here with no parents..

Everyone thought Myers was my second "daddy" anyway!

And then we spoke of Alice..

"Alice.. She was the brightest addition to our LEAGUE. Far more advanced than her other peers.."

Her mother couldn't wait to break down to silently cry when Myers said that.. Holding a tissue to her face as her husband hugged her..

Myers looked at me.

"The most gifted there ever was.. Henry and Alice were a symbol of love.. They often displayed their affection publicly.. From what we could see, They were.. in love! Inseparable! Now looking back.. I think we'd all call it 'true love!"

They all sat there staring at me..

"We do miss our dear Alice! And all her gifts.. She was able to bring together some of the most powerful people that we know today.. Alice created peace! Something our LEAGUE was missing.. What's any success without peace?"

Myers didn't even make any sense and everyone was heartfelt at what he was saying!

"Unfortunately.. She wasn't loved by all.. Her gifts were considered.. 'a dangerous threat' and sadly she had to be taken away from her dear loved ones.."

I looked back at the parents now standing with the whole family, still not disgusted with what he was saying!

"From those in.. a higher power.."

The mother collapsed! She couldn't wait to cause a scene.. but Myers continued.

"We still lost our dear beloved Alice.. In just an.. Inevitable incident!"

Accident?

Myers was never truly genuine. He drank from his wine glass as he watched the husband and people around the mother try their best to console her to help with the grieving, but the family just shewed them off!

"What's a blessing.. can also be considered as a curse.."
-
"Do you see how Myers controlled people?"
"Yeah, he learned that from Alice!"
-
The League began to praise our relationship after Alice died to cover up what really happened.. Eventually the public started loving us!

A dead girl with a false hero.. Both, "Separated by Death.." And they began to question less and less what really was going on at The League..

And then the uncle passed by me and whispered, "murderer."

(Henry talks about Alice)
It made me upset every time someone would speak of Alice. Even if they knew her before I did. They couldn't remember her how I remembered her! And that's because they never saw her how I did.. They saw her for her gifts.. I could only see her for her light..

How she would make me feel the same without even trying.. They saw past her and I just remembered her for her smile and alluring eyes.. And her appearance was never something to overlook.. You couldn't! She was gorgeous and she had this uniqueness with the most attractive eyes that could become intense whenever..

She could draw you in because you knew she was seeing into your soul! She could see something you couldn't. She knew about people before they even knew about themselves. And that fascinated me! How so many people could overlook me but she never could. But I guess it was a curse too.. because she knew the most horrible parts to me. Everything I was hiding..

She could read into my mind like an open book.. She knew the most horrific thoughts I was having at the time. Things she didn't deserve to know.. Because she never needed that burden on her.. That carried that weight of feeling like she had to fix me.. Because she felt that from everyone.. Not just me.

But she was The League's darling.. Their prodigy.. So there was no way of escaping. She was trapped and unfortunately born to a power no one else possessed.. Birthed to the most corrupt place in the world. THE LEAGUE! They owned her and they owned her soul. Her unique soul. As much as I loved her.. There was no way of saving her. I couldn't be her hero. She watched me rescue everyone else and never save her..

And it's ironic how that day,

She was gone,

I was her villain.
..
"The most hated!" "Huh?" "Those are always the ones in power!" It was Chad, another friend of mine. "You speaking about Myers?" "No, Alice! They were always trying to kill that girl.."

Chad wasn't as close with Alice as we all were.. but I was still his friend. But it was always made to seem that me and Cade were the closest..

"We were all.. the.. Gifted kids! That's why everyone fucking hated us!" He took a sip from his champagne and continued, "Private classes, nice homes.. With our OWN backyards! That fucking T.V show no one used to watch that was 'inspired' by us?? How come the fuck we couldn't watch it? But you know what they couldn't see?"

He looked me closer.

"Myers! Myers, MYERS was always fucking watching us! Look, he's watching us right now!" He pointed to show me Myers on his balcony looking down, watching us. "With doctors.. Documenting our every breath! All of our D.N.A- Cade's blood!" His blood? "You'd think you got it bad? Just think of poor Alice!"

But all I did was think about Alice.

Cade and Chad made eye contact.

We were all outside from Myer's house enjoying the rest of the party.. Or celebrating Alice's birthday.

"That's how come it's only you, me, and Cade! We were all the last ones!" I thought about the others but Chad was right! "And I heard about that fucking Mono bitch? Seriously, you're into girls that'll kill you now?!"

He was getting me angry.

Cade walked up to us and Chad finished his glass quickly! Cade smiled, "Chad! An alcoholic!" Chad wiped his lips from the back of his hand and smiled back.. Then put his glass down on the table and punched Cade right in the face!

People ran and dads tried breaking up the fight..

Cade fucked him up! But Chad was always fighting..

"And you think you can keep secrets on what's really happening! While you're all telling stories?"

Chad was yelling with blood from his mouth! He was still trying to get his balance.. He wouldn't let NO ONE help him!

"Then FUCK YOU Cade for taking part in it! They've been trying to kill you your whole fucking life and you still play their fucking games! They'll never treat you fairly!"

Then he looked up.

"Goodnight Myers!" He said happily waving at him.

Then saluted him.

Myers was still on his balcony watching Chad make a fool of himself! I thought that's what Myers had to be thinking.. He had the most deadly look at him, but it was so soft.. Vengeance could've been mistaken for disappointment with a slight grief towards Chad..
..
That was it. That was our night at Myers. Now you can think of why we're not invited to his home.

After Alice.. a lot of things changed! And so did my friend group!
