The next morning, I walk into class with bags under my eyes. I silently cried to sleep last night, all I could think about was the letters. Now I know, now he can have justice.
"Alright so we are going to be doing partner work. Your task is to find out more about your partner and write a poem about them" Our English professor says and we all nod but inside I am saying ugh kill me now
"First pair is Maddie and Thomas"
"Second pair is..." I tune her out until about five minutes later I hear my name
"Abigail with Caiden" He says and inside I am dying. But on the outside I am smirking. You don't know what's coming for you Caiden.
He comes over to me with a victorious smirk "well princess you look like you didn't get to much sleep, was it because you were thinking of me? I know I was dreaming about you but with a little less clothing" he says with a wink and I am disgusted
"You wish"
"You bet your pretty ass I do" he says and I roll my eyes. How dare you? You asswad! Those are all things I want to say but I will stay calm. I wanna crush him into a million little pieces until he can't breathe. I want to run him over multiple times with my car. Violent, I know but he is the reason that Wes is not with us today.
"You are not getting any of this. Ever" I spit and he smirks. That's another thing, the jerk doesn't even remember me, it's probably because his ego is as big as a hippos' ass, But I can use this to my advantage. He doesn't remember me so odds are that he doesn't remember my brothers suicide but he is going to. He is going to remember and he is going to feel pain. I just roll my eyes at him
"So when should we do the project?"
"How about we skip the project and go back to my dorm?" He asks
"How about we don't" I spit and he smiles.
"Fine, after class. There is a park off campus, we can work on it there" he says and I nod
"Sounds like a plan" I say while cutting our conversation short because I can't stand looking at this asswads face. Oh yeah, I don't like cursing very much but I have a feeling I am going to be doing it a lot with this jerk around me.
-----
I told Maddie that I was meeting Caiden at the park to get the project out of the way and said that I would see her back at the dorm and she said that I would probably end up going back to his dorm but I cut that conversation short by saying that he is not getting any of this. If only she knew
I thought that I was going to tell her last year but then she brought me with her on vacation for Christmas because my family doesn't want anything to do with me. Ever since the suicide my mom shut down and my father he drank his sorrows away and they got a divorce. My mom doesn't want me coming home because she believes that it was my fault so I was basically on my own for 4 years. But I got a job and I got a scholarship here so I took the chance to get far away from everything. But apparently it wasn't far enough.
I see Caiden sitting on a bench looking at a picture of a girl, I can't really see the picture though because he sees me looking at him and hides the picture. "Checking me out isn't gonna help get this project done. Why don't we just go back-" I stop him
"No. Let's just get this over with" I say while sitting next to him on the bench and we sit in silence for a while and I decide to lay on the grass and look up at the beautiful clouds
"What are you doing?" He asks with a tone of curiousity
"Looking up at the clouds. Stupid, I know but whenever me and my Family used to go on vacation me and my brother would always look up at the clouds and try to guess what the shapes were" I say and he chuckles and starts writing "likes watching clouds" he says while writing and I roll my eyes
"I told you something about me, your turn" I say with all seriousness and his smirk turns into a frown
"I am an open -"
"Don't give me that open book crap because we all know that your not. You've got some secrets and I wanna hear at least one" I say nod he nods
"Once graduation came, I couldn't wait to just leave town and ditch everything. My father was an alcoholic and he used to beat me. One day, he started beating my mother to a point where she stopped breathing and I took her to the hospital but there was nothing they could do. She was gone" he says and a tear falls down my face
"That's horrible" I say and then he starts laughing
"I can't hold it in anymore I'm sorry!" He says while laughing and I immediately get pissed so I slap him right across the face
"That's not funny" I say with my lip quivering because he thinks that death is funny
"It was a joke"
"Not to me. You shouldn't joke about death like that" I say trying to fight back tears
"I was joking calm down Abby-" he say while putting a hand on my shoulder and I push it off and start yelling at him
"DONT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! How can I calm down when... Never mind, your a jerk, your an ass, your conceded. I thought I could do this but after what happened, I can't-"
"Your going to switch partners over a joke?"
"Don't you get it yet? Oh wait you don't because that's what you do. You use people and then forget about them like they are nothing. I can't work with you Caiden" I say and then storm with tears in my eyes. Damn it Abby you almost blew your cover
I slam the door and plop on my bed. As if my day couldn't get any worse, this happened:
"What are these?" Maddie asks referring to the letters and I grab them
"They are... Nothing" I say while hugging them and turning away from her
"Who is Wes?" She asks and a tear falls down my face
"If you read the first letter, which I am guessing you did, Wes is my brother. Wesley Mitchell" I say and she smiles
"Well when is he coming to visit?, I wanna meet him" she says with a smile and I shake my head
"He's not coming ever. Because he can't come back. As much as I wish he could, he can't. He's dead Maddie" I say and she gives me a hug. Alright Abby, do it. Tell her, do it now.
And so I told her my life story and the story of Wesley Daniel Mitchell
