It was lunch time and I was able to get something to eat today. Macaroni with some microwaved vegetables. I sat in the back, with my hood over my head, hoping no one could see me.

"Hey, Aphmau."

Why does he have to be here right now?

"Yes, Laurance?"

"How are you today?"

"Why does that concern you?" I spat.

"Well, my fri-"

"Which one was it that ratted me out to you? The airhead or the bitchy-blue haired freak?"

"So, I see you've talked to Dante. How was he?"

"Laurance, stop playing games. What the hell you want?"

"Well, Dante said you spread a pretty nasty rumor about him in Art, am I wrong?"

"It doesn't count as a rumor if it's true!" I replied.

"Yeah, but it's not true, right?" He asked.

"Laurance, I know you were there, it was your car. By the way, how does it smell?" "Aphmau, fine. If you must know, Dante said we were just taking him and Kawaii~Chan to his house to 'study'. But, apparently Dante couldn't wait that long and they started in the back of my car, while I was in it." He replied.

"Okay, that's just disgusting....Ew..To think that you sat there and watched! Ugh!"

"Also, I know you stopped in my driveway on purpose, asshole."

Yes, due to the fact that we used to be friends, Laurance indeed knows where I live.

"So, just here to make small talk that I don't care about, or are you here to put a hole in my face for admitting the truth about your friend and that brainless bimbo?"

"I'm actually here because of something that Garroth mentioned."

"That prick!"

You can imagine how mad I am at this point.

"So Aphmau, how long were you planning on keeping it a secret?" He said, pinning me to the back wall.

"Laurance, you knew damn well what the truth was! I showed you when I left you behind, I showed you Jamie, I showed you our basement, I even showed you all my bruises!" I whispered in his ear.

"You know that's not true!"

"Laurance, what do you want me to do? I don't care if you're mad at me! That doesn't change that you're friends with a monster!"i whisper shouted.

"Aphmau, how long were you going to make me live with guilt, may me think it was MY fault you didn't wanna be friends? Huh?! How fucking long?!" He shouted.

A crowd had slowly began to surround us.

"You know what? Laurance, I don't care. If you're doing this, hoping to get some sort of sympathy from a psychopath, you're damn wrong and you know it!" I yelled back.

"Meet me at the park at 6 today, bring Garroth and Garroth only. Do you understand me?" I whispered.

"Y-Yes" he said and let go of my arms.

------

I made my way to the park and sat at a bench. Soon approaching was Laurance and Garroth.

"Hey Aphmau." Laurance cooed.

"I see you brought Garroth, good.."I responded.

"So Aphmau, would you care to tell me how Jamie died, because I know it wasn't because of some car accident." Garroth barked.

I wasn't ready to face him about my sister.

"Huh?! What the hell happened to my girlfriend all those years ago?! Answer me god damnit!" He shouted, raising his hand up to hit me.

"You bastardly men.....all the god damn same..."I whispered to myself, my voice shaky.

"What do you mean?!" Garroth said, his hand still dangerously close to my face.

"Go ahead, hit me Garroth! Hit me! See what good it will do! Please, hit me! Hit me so you can feel good about yourself! It's not like I haven't been hit before you prick! I'm pretty sure every guy in that school has laid a hand on me! Whether to hurt me, or to try to take away my virtue! I'm lucky to have held onto that for this long!" I screamed.

"What the hell do you mean?!" He yelled, his voice filling with anger.

"Garroth, calm down!" Laurance said, placing a hand on Garroth's shoulder.

Bad move buddy, bad move...

Garroth turned around and punched Laurance square in the face. He turned back and stared into my eyes.

"Fear.."I said, my voice just above a whisper.

"You're scared Garroth. Zane....he's becoming the favorite child, isn't he?" I replied.

"Stop it! Stop getting into my head, and making me so confused! Just tell me what happened."

"Garroth, Jamie died because she didn't protect herself! Jamie died, because she was raped! She let herself be killed because of you Garroth!" I said, tears welling up.

"What...?"he said, staring straight at me.

"Garroth, she knew! She knew about you and Nicole, Garroth! You tore her freaking heart out! She was going put a gun to her head if she wasn't killed by somebody else! Do you have any idea how hard it is to watch Dante be with both Nicole and Kawaii~Chan at the same time, and not think about Jamie? Do you Garroth?"I yelled at him, letting the tears fall.

His face was expressionless. Every ounce of color drained. His face was pale.

"I-I didn't know..."he whispered.

"Garroth, you should not be the one scared! You weren't the one that had to find your sister laying there, covered in blood and naked! Garroth, you weren't burying your own sister at 12 years old.! You weren't there to see the smile on her face when she told me, she would've killed herself over you! So if you're going to still give me shit at school to keep my reputation low, be my guest! Why don't you even send someone to beat the crap out of me? Like I even care anymore!" I said, my voice shaking furiously.

"I am-"

"Don't even say it! You are going to go to school tomorrow and you're going to pretend we never had this meeting, okay?" I yelled.

"Okay."

He picked an unconscious Laurance off the ground and walked away.
