Web Of Lies

Chapter 11

I've tried to divert this more into the plot, so I hope this is better than the previous few chapters.
I also know some people don't use the metric system so I'll tell you that a metre is like if you took a very big step. Or about 3 feet in more simple terms.
Hope you enjoy!

He was so confused on what the fuck was happening. Just about a month ago everything was fine, and then all of sudden reality just flipped and he was stuck with Valerie. She was just like a grown up version of Arlo, maybe even more weird.

Today was Tuesday, and he had just finished all work for today. He was planning to go on a walk, to just clear his head. So, he had taken his phone and put on a jacket and runners just like yesterday. Honestly, he would have just left his phone in his room because he didn't really have any deep pockets to hold it in. But taking it gave him the opportunity to go on walks by himself in the first place, so there is no sense of complaining.

Opening the door, he felt cold enveloping him, making him shiver slightly. He stepped out, the door closing behind him. It recently rained, so everything was damp and smelled like dirt. Personally he liked warmer weather more, he was hoping for Spring to come soon. Even though it was Autumn right now.

Getting to the front gate, he notices a familiar figure walking on the pathway to the right. They had blonde hair and what seemed to be blue eyes, looking almost like Arlo.

Wait, no way.

"What are you doing at my aunt's house?" The guy asked, getting progressively closer until he was a meter away.

Yep, definitely that idiot.

"Oh fuck off Arlo it's none of your business." He answered, opening the gate and starting to walk away from him. Arlo followed, and started to nag him on.

Maybe he should've just ran back into the house and locked the door on him if he knew that Arlo was going to be this talkative.

"It is my business though. So why are you here?" He asked, walking to the side of him.

"I live here." He said, walking slightly faster. Arlo followed his pace like the stalker he was.

"Ha, funny joke. Why are you actually here?" Arlo smirked. In response he smirked back, annoyed.

"I'm living with Valerie for a little while, so stop interrogating me. You can ask Valerie if you don't believe me." He said, hoping that Arlo might just leave him alone to talk to Valerie. But he just continued walking with him, silently processing the information.

"Ok. But why?" Arlo asked, gee this guy can never just stop poking his nose into things that don't relate to him. Couldn't he just leave him alone? He already had to deal with Valerie, and adding a smaller version of her doesn't help his stress levels.

He shoved his hands into his pockets.

"If you're so curious, go ask Valerie." He answered, wanting for him to just leave. But he just stayed like last time.

"Alright, but then why haven't you been answering Serphina's calls?" Arlo continued. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? It's like he is being interrogated.

"Lost all my stuff."

"And why is that?"

"Oh my god, man if you want to know, ask Valerie. Otherwise you're not getting anything out of me. Now leave me the fuck alone." He said, but Arlo just kept walking with him. His questions continued as well, making him think if Arlo had an off button for his mouth. Well probably not, but he technically could just pummel his face into the ground for him to stop. The passing seconds were making that idea become more promising. But now that he thinks about it, if Arlo is related to Valerie and he hurts him, wouldn't she punish him in some way. Uh, he probably shouldn't take the chance. For now he should just ignore him, and hope that he just leaves.
