Always Be Forever

Chapter 51: Aaron, What is the aftermath of all the deaths?

2087, BCE, December 5

Okay, Ben literally just dropped the bomb on us.

The bomb. I can't believe Jason and Snow were the ones behind it. I thought it was all Jack. Well, now that's cleared up, I need to tell someone. Standing up from the sofa, I grab my journal and a pen. "What are you doing?" Finn had asked, walking towards me. "I'm keeping a track of the deaths," I had told him before writing down all the deaths that happened. "Didn't Jasmine try to kill herself?" I had asked, remembering James calling me up. "Yeah she did," Rachel had commented. "Snow also tried to kill herself out of guilt," Finn told me. I wrote down:

Jasmine - tried to commit suicide

Tiffany - murdered by Jason, Snow, Jack, Michael

Andrea - killed by Jasmine

Snow - tried to commit suicide

Julia - committed suicide

Cashmere - murdered by Jack

Amy - missing

That was when I realized what was going on. All of these people were feeling lonely and never talked to anyone about what was going on. They kept their feelings bottled up. Well I'm here to say, no more. I'm tired of us keeping our emotions bottled up. It's about time we opened up and told the truth. Our parents will always understand; why can't we get that into our fucking heads? Or shall I say, our fucking minds. We become so fixated on thinking they won't understand. They've been through it. They've been through high school and junior high. When will people learn that? When they will learn that suicide is not the answer, and that they need to fucking talk to someone?

"I got to take care of something," I told Finn, Fiona, and Rachel before heading out with my coat. I needed to update Doctor Henshaw on the deaths. Walking past the office, I notice Principal Webber and Constable Amick talking to each other. "Aaron, can we speak quickly?" Constable Amick had asked, and I was pulled into their conversation. "Yeah sure, what's up?" I had asked. "I keep on trying to tell Webber that Jason and Snow need to stay away from each other by having Snow go to a different school, but he won't listen," he told me. I don't have time for this. "Well, I think we do what's best suited for them. If there's a way of how both of them can stay, then I'd suggest it. But I'm not one to stand in the way of the law," I had told them before walking away. "See, I told you," Principal Webber had told him. I needed to get to the hospital right away. Cashmere would probably still be there, so it'd be best to stop by and see how she's doing. I drive to the hospital, and once I was there, I tried to find Doctor Henshaw, but he was nowhere to be found. He must be with Cashmere. Walking past her room, I can't help but overhear her talking with someone. "You know I love you, you know I do," I hear her telling someone. She must be with Alex. "Okay, then we'll keep this secret, and we wait until you're 18. Then we'll file for a divorce. I'll be all yours," I hear a guy say. Wait, what did I miss? This sounds like David. ARE THEY HAVING AN AFFAIR? I see Doctor Henshaw coming out of a room, and I go straight up to him. "Doctor Henshaw, I need to clarify something with you," I had started. "Aaron. It's been awhile. What is it?" He had asked me. I grabbed my notebook, and showed him the list. "What is this?" He had asked me. "It's the aftermath of the deaths," I told him before he grabbed his phone and took a picture of it. "Thank you Aaron. Have you found Angela?" He asked me. "Not yet. Why do you ask?" I had asked him. Last I remembered she was dead. "She's alive," he had told me before walking off. Up ahead, I couldn't help but notice Alex holding some flowers. He looked around to notice that no one was around him. Was he keeping something from us? Walking up, I notice him going up to Chris, who is lying in the stretcher. "Thank you Alex," Chris had told him. "No problem. That attack was pretty brutal," Alex had told Chris. What happened? "What are we going to do?" Chris had asked Alex. "I don't know, but I know that we don't repeat this to anyone, and we never speak again," Alex had told Chris before leaving the room one final time. Wait, what did I miss? And if Chris is here, where's Amy?
