Dark secret

Hope

Months had passed since Jeff had moved into Mile's house.He doesn't talk much since what happened in the room and that was fine with him. However, he was surprised by how Mile treated him, she had given him his own room and his own studio to compose his music, she had boosted his career to levels that he did not expect...but beyond that Mile could not do much, sometimes he asked for his company when he worked or cooking for dinner if he had time.

Although I didn't know what to expect this was not what I had in mind.

Sometimes he longed for Bible's presence, his sweet and calm voice, his way of making stress leave his body, sometimes he dreamed about him...but when he woke up he found himself in this new reality. He had secretly tried to locate Bible but he couldn't get anything, he didn't want to give up but by the minute he was losing hope.

One night while he was trying to compose something in the living room he heard someone enter with slow, wandering steps. I didn't look up because I knew who it was, however when I heard things falling and breaking I knew something wasn't right. He sighed and decided to get up to see what was happening, at least if Mile was dying he would have to check it out himself.

When he reached the bathroom door he didn't expect to see this sight.

A mile lying on the ground, the first aid kit scattered everywhere, a black eye and a cut on his hand caused by the glass cup that was on the ground. Jeff closed his eyes, he knew he didn't have to get involved... but something inside him told him that he knew what he had to do, even if MIle had proven herself to be what she was... we are all human.

-"Very well, big boy, let's cure you"- he took him to the living room putting all his weight on him- "you're too heavy"- he threw him gracelessly onto the couch and then returned to take the medicines and the first aid kit.

While he was cleaning the wound Mile decided that this was the time to have a talk.

-"I'm sorry"- he whispered but Jeff didn't look at him, instead he continued with his work- "I just wanted you to see me...to love me like you did with him"- Jeff stopped his movements, alwaysHe had loved Mile but as a brother as someone to follow - "but I'm a fool, right?"

-"Well, if you want to love and have the other person love you, you shouldn't go kidnapping people or blackmail them to force them to be with you...-" when I finished curing the wound, I put everything back in its place and for a moment they were both silent-" phi I always loved you, as a brother as someone to be reckoned with...as a friend f-e"-before I could continue this short story.

-"I know...I know it's no excuse but I was very jealous of your relationship with BIble...now it seems like a bad joke-"Mile took out his phone and gave it to him-"inside there is a folder with Jes's name"- upon hearing That name consumed him with rage - "if it helps... you can read it" - Jeff nodded and looked for that folder. When he opened it, what he discovered left him shocked.It had the name Jes and the signature of a psychiatrist, apparently the guy was a sociopath...the more he read the more he became horrified"Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health illness in which a person demonstrates no discernment between right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others" - did not realize that He had read it out loud but Mile apparently thought it was funny.

-"I'm not laughing at you, I'm just thinking that I'm very bad at choosing friends"- Jeff was stunned by the comment but knew that Mile was trying to apologize.

-"You're not so bad if you chose me"- he turned to Mile and took him by the hand-"thanks phi..-"
-"the location is at the bottom of the page... I will turn myself in... .I will take responsibility... .just go and get it back-" Jeff nodded. In all this time MIle had never physically hurt him, he had only asked for his company and at one point he felt sorry for the man but they both knew what they had to do.

-"Thank you phi...really-" and with that he left the house.
