Echoes In The Field

Chapter 14

Or he just....likes me aswell?

Maybe ...

"Kris let's go!" Yelled Kyle, cupping his cheek in pain while it stings really badly. Kristen went up to his big brother and smiled lightly.

"What happened to you big brother?" Said Kristen, observing his face that was wrapped with gauze to his hair.

"It's nothing. I'll buy you ice cream if you behave." Kyle said, crouching down to move a few strands to Kristen's growing hair. His little brother jumped happily as Kyle smiled heartily.

"Let's go now." Said Kyle, picking up Kristen to his arms and walks with him out of the door.

To the park

Kyle watches Kristen play with his school friends playing in the playground as he watches them laugh and run around. Kyle sits on the bench with his arms and legs crossed, enjoying reflecting himself from the peaceful scenery. He then stood up and decided to find a near ice cream shop to buy Kristen some ice cream.

He was busy tucking the gauze that's about to fall apart he didn't payed attention to where he's supposed to look. He accidentally bumped onto someone's shoulder making him turn his head quickly for an apology.

"Oh my goodness I'm so sorr-" Kyle stopped himself when he recognized the appearance once he turned around. It was Galio.

Kyle lets his mouth, not continuing his apology but instead glares at Galio.

Galio did the same to him they only stared at each other and then Kyle walked pass him, going back to the playground.

Galio turn his head to Kyle's direction, his hands in his hoodie pockets, silent and observing Kyle's action. None of them didn't dared to speak up, leaving them cold and unbreakable walls. Once Kyle was getting far from Galio's sight. Galio turned away and starts walking to the opposite direction.

Kristen plays freely in the slide and swings, playing tag along playing more kid games to keep them entertained. Suddenly, Kyle went up to Kristen and kneel down to him.

"Kris, wanna go get ice cream now?" Said Kyle with a soft smile. Kris lightens up and nodded.

"Yes yes!!" He exclaimed happily, his sweat was running down to his temple.

"Oh Kris, you're all sweaty..." Kyle said with a sigh as he held Kris's small hand. "Let's go now, say goodbye to your friends." Said Kyle, glancing at the children still playing.

Kristen waves and yells bye to them as they did the same. The two siblings starts walking to an other direction to buy ice cream together.

I feel like a burden, a stupid person. I don't think he loves me after all."  Galio said in his head, his head down and emotionless.

"You'd really thought? What are you feelin' now, Galio? Heartbroken he still didn't make his first move?" The devil laughed as if he was high. It was haunting him horribly.

"I only wanted an apology." Galio said blankly, didn't dare to look up at him.

"Seems like he doesn't want to break the wall Galio. What will you ever do when you finally gave it up?" The devil was taunting him, Galio was loosing himself.

"Are feeling down now? This isn't the Galio who would ignore his cruel little friend that cannot be seen with other people." He laughed, hard.

"Face it, It won't happen." He whispered to his ear, making Galio started fasting up his pace and followed with a run.

"Just face it, it won't happen."

"He won't make it happen."

Few days passed

Kyle finally has the courage to go to school since he's been missing out many projects and presentations that's close or due today. The bullying became worse, John brutally beats up Kyle every single day leaving Kyle dripped with his blood and even passed out. It was soon starting to follow with other students and even crazy cheerleaders who would pull pranks that's slowly becoming harmful.

Jane and Guienivere wanted to do something about it, it was quickly spread around Craig as he also tried helping cause of Jane's sympathy, nothing worked out with John's wealthiness. It comes for the worst when Kyle just stopped coming to school after 3 days. Some students thought he left from town but more deeper from that.

One day, Guienivere was in her house, bored and lost in thoughts when there was a sudden knock on the door. She stood up from the couch and opens the door, It was Jane.
