Chapter Fourty Five

For a solid 10 minutes, Becca and I couldn't speak nor stop looking at the window. It was as if we were waiting for him to come back to make an even more of an impact. However nothing happened which left me in a further state of shock. So I have to deal with all that information on my own. A whole mouth full with a spontaneous exit. Oh come on!!!!

"Scratch what I said. You better jump after him girl. I don't know any guy that will spill everything at one go like that. I believe he left because he doesn't want to hear the rejection and honestly after such a speech I wouldn't want to either if I were in his shoes "Becca said.
" Yeah I know but after that I should not just run into his arms and forgive him. I do not want him to get the idea that a confession like this would be all he needs everytime he fucks up. I need time to think, I'm shocked that he swayed you so quickly Becca"I said.

She nodded in agreement. For the rest of the day I crossed questioned her about things with Logan. Isn't she in for a big surprise...

*Two days later*

Today will be the last day that we will spend at school before the holidays. Once school starts, the weight of finals will be hanging over everyone's shoulders. The pressure is on.

"I do not want to see my dreaded math mark!" I groaned once I i took in homeroom.
"Let's hope for the best" she said as we both proceeded to drop our heads on the table.

We didn't even bother lifting our heads when our teacher took role call. But he was well aware that we were in class due to a very forward fool, Rider!

"Just so you know, Becca and Cyrus are here" he said resulting us painfully groaning with the memories that came with his voice.
"Can you shut up please! Your voice is a pain in my ass!!" i shouted.
"Okay" Rider said.

Becca and I stared at each other in disbelief. Why the hell is he so complicit? I can't fathom why his acting this way or is he walking on eggs?

Rubbing my temples, I pulled Becca up with me as I proceeded to sit up. Shaking my head I stared at the white board knowing damn well this feels like a lifetime.

Once the school bell rang I wasted no time to ran to the parking lot. If it wasn't for Becca taking her sweet time i would have been out of here a long time ago.

10 minutes later she came out bewildered.

"So that just happened" she said climbing in.

I proceeded to drive to Big Bow's Gym.

"Ok so I went to my locker because unlike you, I didn't clean my locker out the last day we wrote so I went to fetch my stuff. There was a red letter in it. A confession letter of someone at our school" She said as we walked into the gym.

She wanted to continue but I stopped her knowing that there was a possibility that Logan was in the gym.

"We can ta-"
"From who was the letter?" a booming voice said as something dropped.

Shit... Logan.

I watched as he sticked his hand in her pocket and pulled it out before reading it.

"Who the fuck is this piece of shit?!!" he asks getting extremely close to her face.

I could see on Becca's face that she was extremely scared of him in this current moment of time.

I pulled Logan by the arm roughly so that he was facing me. I only feared that this would be the way she found out about who he truly is. This thought alone made me slap him back into reality..

"Is this how you want her to find out!" I hushed in an extreme tone.
"Look at her, you've scared her half to death" I said causing him to stiffen.
"B-Becca" Logan stuttered turning around.

I watched as Becca slowly retreated in fear. This isn't good especially for Logan. I pushed Logan aside and ran to pull her out of the gym.

I managed to get her in my car, driving us to my house. Dragging her upstairs without glancing at my mother. I pushed her into my room locking my door behind me. As I turned around I watched her fall to the ground, breaking into tears.

I ran to her side instantly falling to my knees to cradle her.

Emile's POV..

In the middle of the day, I was woken up by someone wailing in my sister's room which instantly made me get up and run down the hallway. I wasn't sure if I should throw open the door or gently push it open so i opted for the safe option.

I gently pushed the door open peaking through. There she was cradling the one true friend that she made comforting her. She's came so far since the age of six.

FLASHBACK TO 7 YEARS AGO

Mother was called to the office today. Something to do with Cyrus.

"Cyrus, go sit with your brother while I have a conversation with your teacher ok?" Mom said to her.

I watched as a red eyed Cyrus came out of the classroom. She sat down on the floor next to me and stared at her lap.

Cyrus was always the one between the two of us to never shed a tear. I can't remember the last time I ever saw her cry and it's all our father's fault as well as mine. I was never the brother that she needed. I acted like the little brother forcing her to grow up quicker than I did. She took on a lot of responsibility at the age of six, shutting herself out from being a child just so that I could be one. It was unfair of to put that on her and seeing her now at her breaking point made me realize how much of a mistake a made leaving her to deal with this all on her own.

"I'll never leave you alone again" I whispered pulling her into a hug.

___________________

Ever since that day I made sure that she never shed a tear because I was there to shield and protect her. I made sure that she got to experience her teenage years at the cost of my own and I have no regrets at all.

Something she always struggled to do was sympathize with someone and comfort them. I guess because we went through the trials that we did she felt that they deserved some pain even if a drop. Over time she saw how wrong she was and changed her ways, however she still had so many hardships. I can say that she's a far better person than me. I have many things I need to deal with and I will to make her proud.
