35. Anger & Tyde

Tyde was angry.

I had forgotten that by accidentally revealing that I was from Clarke Lake, I had also revealed that he was, too.

So he was angry.

Home wasn't cold anymore, it was fire. It was fiery and red and angry and anything but quiet. He wasn't yelling, he refused to yell, but he was seething, he was bleeding his anger, his eyes were like fireworks, and he still refused to yell.

He just spoke, his voice controlled and hard and sharp.

Tyde had never been this angry with me before.

We had agreed to keep a secret and I had betrayed him.

He's only really asked me for one thing before.

All those times he trusted me? Maybe he shouldn't have.

I only think for myself.

I fucking forgot about my brother.

I'm sorry.

He had a place here, an image, a standing, friends, and now everyone was treating him differently, because what if he's as broken as his brother?

I didn't mean to -

I just had to go and tell the whole damn school.

I'm a fucking -

By the time that Mum and Dad are able to separate us, his words are ingrained in my mind, and I can't help but blame myself for the end of his world.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry -
