Anger

Chapter 13

   Daniel's POV
After Hope left i wanted to go after her. But the way she just run off makes me think maybe i should give her some space. So i just watched her runaway and see as the cafeteria door shut behind her.

When i turn to see Holder. He is looking at me. Then he said. "Can i ask u a question?

"Sure. What's up?"

"How were you friends with both Duke and Heath back then?"

Whaaat!! Who did he think he is? How dare he ask such question? We are not best friends we were just eating lunch together.

"Non of your business." I said calmly. Even if i was so mad he asked this question

"Ya i know. I was just curious....."

"Well then don't be. Because it is non of your business." I said more harshly before he could finish his sentence.

He took the sign and said. "Cool."

Then we fell in to uncomfortable silence.

"How long has it been?" He said finally

"What?" I said being confused

"How long has it been since Hope become like this?"

"Since Heath died" I said.

And that uncomfortable silence was about to come again so i said.

"She will be ok. You know we all have our moments."

"What do you mean?"

"Like when we loose our loved ones and become angry at some point." I said

"So you are saying you are ok now." He said

"No no no no. I am far from being ok. You will just adapt the pain."

"I guess you are right." He said staring at the air. 

When i see his eyes i could see the pain in them. And how hard he is trying not to show it.  I know how he is feeling he lost his sister (Lily).
But how? Nobody knows how Lily died. We just heard she was dead and we went to her funeral. So i asked

"By the way how did it happen?"

"what happen?"

"How did Lily die?"

He stayed silent for little longer and finally said. "Non of your business."

Did he just pull my own card on me. Well that's smart because it really make me want to now the truth.

So i said. "Ok you win. What if i tell you how i was friends with both Duke and Heath. And you tell me how Lily died."

"Uhmm.. i don't know if i should do this though. It's family secret you know." He said being confused

"Hey yours is family secret. Mine is more deeper because i promised i wouldn't tell anyone about this. Well except Hope you she deserves to know." I said.
But it was alie i didn't promise myself that.

"Ok. But this can't go out from between us."

"Ya sure. We won't tell anyone." I said

"You start. Mine will be surprise." He said

"Ok but if you try to ditch me after i told you mine just know you are dead." I said smiling but being serious at the same time.

"I know that. Even if you don't tell me." He said.

So i stared at the table and started telling him.

"Ok so I met Duke way before i met Heath and Hope. He was my neighbour. We met while going to school. He had little sister. I remember he used to have a happy family. But one day his dad left and his mom sucide because of that. That's when he changed. Heath was my friend at that time too. Both were my friends so i introduced them. Heath didn't like Duke. he didn't like him because he wanted to make us like him too. And believe me nobody wants to be like Duke. So when Heath realised this. He tried to tell him some religious stuff he and his family believe in. But obviously Duke made fun of that. So at that moment Duke and Heath part ways. And i had to choose between them. So i chose Heath. I know Duke longer but when i am with Heath i feel a peace i never felt in my life. When i tell Duke this he got angry. He said i was changed after i met Heath. He threatened me. So that i could be with him. But i didn't listen to him.  So my friendship with Heath developed and we become brothers. Then i heard Duke's sister died. He started selling drugs and he get in to fights. But our friendship ended so i didn't say anything. And he never tried to talk to me after that." I sighed as i finished telling him this.

When i finally look at him. His mouth were open. When i wait for him to say something. He just stayed silent. I think he need to digest that.

"Wowww i didn't expect to hear that." He said

"Ya. I know i never told anyone about this. I must really want to know what happened to Lily." I said giving him a hint that he has something to tell me too

"Ok ok you don't have to remember me i was going to tell you anyways." He said.  And started to stare at the same table i was staring at. Then i know that he was really going to tell me.

"Me and Lily were really close siblings. We always told each other about everything. I would do anything for her. I don't know how things start to change but i could feel her keeping secret from me. I know her too well so i knew something was wrong. When i tried to talk to her she would always make up an excuse not to talk to me. I had no clue about what was happening to her. Then one day when i get home. Nobody was there. So i thought it would be perfect if i talked to her now so i went to her room. Then there she was on the floor her eyes wide open. A disgusting white thing coming out from her mouth. And many pill cases on her hand. At the moment i didn't know what to do. I just stared at her. That's when i saw a note on top of her. When i saw that i pick it up, put it on my back pocket and called the ambulance. But they said sge was dead."

"What did the note say?" I said

"The note had the reason why she killed her self. It says that she got in relationship with a wrong boy and that boy made her involve in very wrong things that she didn't want to be involved. So that's why she killed herself."

"What did he make her do to make her kill herself like that?" I said.

"I wish i knew she didn't write about that. But i know who did this to her."

"Who did?"

"This is going to be surprising but it was Duke."

"Wh..at.. h..ow?

"I don't know how it happened but she wrote it was him."

"So did you do something?"

"I tried to find him for a long time. But when i finally found him. I heard he was arrested."

"Oh.." is all i could say

"Seriously Daniel 'Oh' is all u say" he said smiling

"Wowwww i didn't expect to hear that." I said pulling his card on him.

"Smart" he said laughing. And i started laughing too

I'm actually surprised because it has been a long time since i laughed.

"let's look for Hope it's been 30 minutes." He said.

I said "sure"

While looking for her we saw her on the park right infront of the school. But we didn't know how to approach her.

"Hey Daniel. Can i talk to her alone." Holder said

"Sure." I bet she is tired of me anyways.
