What's wrong?

32|| What's wrong?

~Calum~

Stephanie and Aidan share a look, that look being a should-I-say-it look.

"Steph, please," I whine impatiently. "I deserve to know."

Aidan nods at Stephanie as she takes a deep breath, preparing herself for what she was going to tall me.

It isn't that bad... is it?

Steph hesitates before she starts speaking. "So, when I was younger Aidan and I had a group of friends," she says softly and full of emotion.

"It was me, Aidan, Megan and Dan," she informs me.

"Megan as in that Megan?" I ask, pointing back to the place I left Megan.

She nods her head and I ask another question. "Would I know Dan?"

Steph pauses and looks like she's about to cry, before viciously shaking her head no.

Then, she continues talking. "So we were all at Dan's house but there was nothing in the cupboards or the fridge, and as we all basically lived there, Aidan and I went out to buy food."

"We weren't gone for that long, but when we got back, we saw Megan continuously hitting Dan. Aidan held Megan back from Dan while I called the ambulance."

"Megan went to court, and when she came out, we found out that she snapped. Then, she came back to Dan's house and got some things, then they took her to an insane asylum," Stephanie finishes with a tight voice.

I stand here, surprised about the things I just heard.

How am I supposed to process this.

Then, a question came to my mind.

"Wait," I say, looking directly at Stephanie, "what happened to Dan?"

Only silence followed as I awaited for my question to be answered.

"Anyone gonna answer?" I ask, looking at Charlie, then Aidan, then Stephanie.

All of them had their eyes trained to the ground as I looked around.

"Anyone? No one? Okay then-" I'm cut off by Stephanie.

She mumbled two words so quietly I wasn't able to hear it.

"What did you say?" I ask, hoping that she would repeat it.

Stephanie looks up at me with anger in her eyes. "He's dead," she repeats, loud enough for the people by the campfire to hear.

The boys and Megan turn to us, looking at Stephanie's angry state.

Luke immediately gets up and walks towards us.

I'm gobsmacked. I didn't expect her to say anything that had just left her mouth.

"Hey," he says softly, looking at each and every one of us, "what's wrong?"

"Oh, my best friend's dead," Stephanie snaps, "no big deal."

She then stops away, leaving all of us in silence, looking at the last place we had seen her.

I begin to walk after Stephanie but Aidan stops me.

"Let her cool of for a while, yeah?" Aidan sighs, and letting go of my arm.

I think over for a moment before agreeing and turning back to the camp fire.

I see Megan laughing along with the boys and I don't notice anything difference.

She looks fine.

Not a single trace of psychoticness in her eyes.

I don't see why she killed Dan.

And I want to know if Steph's telling the whole truth.
