Haunting Pasts

Chapter 6:

Haunting Pasts

Recap:

I could only hear bits and pieces of their sentences but it was easy to tell they were talking about me. The only problem was even with me struggling to hear what they were saying i couldnt hear correctly. I also couldnt tell who was saying what.

"......dont know.......could be a w........"

"Its Alp........he doesnt.......her"

"its.......our secret.........theirs too"

Looks like im not they only one hiding the truth...

Walking back to my room making sure not to be heard the only thing going through my head was what i had told Steph. I trusted him to keep my secret but now that i know hes keeping something from me, im not really sure.

******************************After the run*****************************

When i got back i quickly ran to my room. i needed a shower to help cool off. I grabbed some shorts and tank ran into my bathroom.

The shower was nice and helped me relax my muscles after my run. I quickly pulled on my clothes since it was freezing outside of my batheroom. After i was  dressed i walked out of my batheroom while tying my hair into a messy bun. I then went and to get my laptop so i could check my tumblr. As i turned on my computer i saw a picture of my family. All of us where smiling or laughing. We were at this waterfall not to far from where we lived. Every year we hicked up there and would spend the day together as a family. This picture always brought a smile but now actually being with a family, it brought tears to my eyes. All of my memories just came rushing back. I felt a tear roll down my cheek just as my door opened. i quickly ducked down and wiped it away but it was to late, who ever was at the door had already seen it.

"Hey whats wrong?"

i looked up to see Steph sitting down on my bed right in front of me.

"Why you crying?" - Steph

"Its nothing... no reason"

"there is obviously something wrong"-steph

"...."

"Come on you can tell me and im really sorry for before. I shouldnt have done it and i feel really bad."

 "I..i was just thinking about my family"

"You never talk about them, what were they like?" -steph

"Well i had a sister who was 2 years older than me and a brother who was 4 years older than me. Then there was of course my parents. I wish they were here....i miss them everyday"

"If you dont mind me asking, what happened to them?" -steph

"i dont remeber much but i do know we were on out way to a resturant to celebrate my birthday when something crahed into the car. I remember looking for what ever crashed into us but not seeing anything. The car had flipped from the impact of the crash and was now upside down."

"It was my tenth birthday and i was excited to finally hit double digits and my older sisiter who was twelve kept tell in me that being ten wasnt a big deal. She was a preteen and always had my parents attention on her and i just wanted on day for me so we were fighting. My older brother who was 14 was also in the car was trying to tell me it was special and to ignore my sister. We must have distracted my parents because the next thing i knew everyone was upside down and no one was responding. i remeber feeling heavy and tired so i closed my eyes. The nxt time i opened my eye the car was on fire and i was twenty feet away from it laying on the ground. Before i even knew what happened the car exploded and i ran. I left them there all alone. I should have went back or been in there with them but some how i ended up ok"

By the time i finished i was in tears and could barely breathe. I was only slightly aware when i felt arms wrap around me and pull me close. I slowly came back hearing steph whishpering things like its ok or its not your fault, im happy that you lived. i turned in his arms and buried my head in his neck trying to get my self to clam down. After a while i returned back to normal but was barely staying awake. Steph gave me once last hug and kissed the side of my head before leaving to let me get some sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Present time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I could help but wonder what the were talking about. I know i have my secrets but they are justified. Ive been a foster kid for half my life. Im no longer the sweet innocent girl that trusts everyone. If they want to know the whole truth they will have to gain my trust which wont be easy. I learned its better to keep secrets and be guarded then open about everything. When your open and trust people easly it always comes back to bite you in the ass. For now i wouldn't worry about what was going on down there. I have bigger issues like school tomorrow.
