Secrets are meant to be kept

The Findings

My ears are ringing as I look around and take in the faces of my peers and their parents. Most look completely shocked, while others look pretty mad.

Two faces stand out the most, Rene's is a mix of shock and guilt, and Ethan who just looked full out disgusted and pitting.

Everything feels like it's going in slow motion as I look back at my father placing my hand on my cheek. My father's face showed rage and he takes me by my shoulders, digging into my skin.

"I advise you to let go of this young woman" I felt my bones crack as his fingers dig deeper replying to Ethan with his deep, rough voice.

"I advise you to mind your own damn business." I flinch at the harshness of his voice; getting entrapped in his black ragging eyes. I take in his appearance, he doesn't appear to even notice that he is in a public place. That is what shocks me the most, he used to be so careful that mother never found out, but now he is doing this in public, right in front of everyone at my new school.

His eyes start to narrow on me smirking quickly before suddenly letting go. The emptiness in his eyes is replaced by guilt and tears, fake enough to make snooki look real. My father starts trembling and sobbing saying over, and over again that he didn't know what happened.

"...must be the antidepressants that the doc has put me on. Oh gosh i am so so sorry." He starts shaking and runs out of the cafeteria out towards the car. It seemed as if that took a few hours but soon my mother comes out from the restroom, stopping at the entrance looking around her taking in the complete silence, knowing fully something bad most have happened to make a room full of hundreds to be completely quiet.

Ethan looked at me trying to get my attention but i ignore him running back to my room, i cannot believe that just happened. That is all i can think about while i pass all my peers and teachers.

"Nobody will ever find out" he stutters running a hand through his receding hair. "They can't. And if you tell anyone I will play with your mind. I will make it out to be all you."

I shake my head, "No, they wouldn't believe that. I am too innocent, I'm not even doing anything wrong.."

"That's where you are wrong, I can make them believe anything. I can say that you were just trying too hard to do good in school that you started self harming, and by the time i found out it was too late." He fakes a guilty look and chuckles, " or of course I am getting to that age where I can fake hallucinations and that my 'pills' are making me act up".
