Silent Love [Watty Awards 2013 Finalist]

Chapter 17

My mouth was open, poised and ready to answer him, but no sound came out. It was like Christmas all over again. I was trying to overcome my fear, to say what I wanted to say for long, but nothing would come out. Like my wound still hadn’t healed no matter how much I willed for it to.

 Shane stared at me, confusion furrowing his brows. He knew I was ready but why wouldn’t the words, much less a sound, come out of my mouth. I had the same question, but I suspected the answer. It was the same one, every single time. It always reverted back to that god awful day.

  I hate thinking about that day. It wasn’t something I wanted to remember. But it’s something I had to live with. And in my head, I thought to myself once again.

  “Taylor. Earth to Taylor!”

 His voice snapped me out thoughts. I didn’t even realize he was there standing, waiting, for my answer. He stared at me, perplexed. I stared back, wondering why he hadn’t left and was still here. It was a confusing moment until he said the most unexpected thing.

 “Taylor, what really happened to your brother?”

 How the fuck did he know about Tyler?
