The Ashes She Left Behind.

|Gone|

Adrian walked home while shoving his hands in his pockets. He thought of all the words Annabeth had said. "Don't give up kid" Her raspy voice echoing in his mind gushing all the miserable thoughts out of his mind. His footsteps were silent and damp. His face cold and red while his lips were in a smile. It was all so weird but he liked it. 

"I'm home" He said as light as he could while closing the door silently. Soon he heard heavy footsteps nearing him.

"Oh would you look at this now? Mr I-ruin-everything is back" Adrian's sister, Abella spat at him. 

"Heya Abs is mom okay now?" 

Did he just ignore me? Abella thought and shook her head to get rid of the thought. 

"Yeah she went to sleep a few moments ago" Abella lowered her head and talked in a low tone. Adrian was shocked on the fact that she wasn't being rude or sarcastic. 

"Abella?" 

"Hm?" 

"You... Do you believe I killed Nick?" Adrian's voice was barely a whisper but from seeing how Abella's head whipped up showed that she had heard it. Abella's heart shattered into pieces as if realization had hit her. All these years Adrian had needed someone to pat his back and tell him it was all okay but she was too busy being the bad guy. He had Lizzy but now looking at how she had turned against him. Even mom and dad were surprised at this new personality of the always cheery Lizzy. But then the feeling of losing her brother struck her lighting the fire of hate in her all over again. 

She just looked at him soft for a moment but then the hate was back. Just looked and then left. Adrian hung his head low and sighed controlling all the tears. But I'm not giving up on you Abella.

"I guess this would help" Adrian mumbled while talking a bite out of the so called sandwich he made out of every material he found. He cringed at how much mustard there was. Wait when did I put mustard in here?  He sighed and put the sandwich down. His mind wandered off to Annabeth. What might she be doing right now? What is her last name? What is her story? He sighed again thinking there was no use of thinking any of them. 

"Hey Ab- oh it's you" Adrian turned around to find Lizzy staring at him with hate. 

"Heya Liz" He smiled at him and turned back around to put the sandwich in the fridge. After closing the door he turned around only to get a blow on his cheek and fall down. 

Adrian tried to move his jaw as he looked up to find Lizzy smirking down at him. 

"Pathetic."

"Loser" 

"You deserve to die"

"I would be happy if you died you know?" 

"Cry baby"

"You ruin everything" Lizzy crouched down bending her knees as Adrian looked down with blurred out from tears eyes. "You do know that Nick hated you too right?" Adrian sobbed loudly as Lizzy got up and kicked him on the side. Before leaving she stopped and turned her head looking to him over her shoulder.

"Murderer" With that she left leaving Adrian crying loudly. He screamed on the top of his lungs letting out words he always had wanted. 

"IT WASN'T MY FAULT! I HATE YOU GUYS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FAMILY!" After that he hugged his legs to his chest and sobbed lightly.

Abella who was standing next to the wall so that Adrian doesn't see her gasped as she heard the word 'hate'. What am I doing? She thought to herself and swallowed hard trying to get rid of the urge to cry. Her chin shivered as she heard the sobs of her brother. She entered the kitchen slowly and saw him sitting there helpless.
