Chapter 36

Two weeks had past and today was the day I had to go back to school and investigate who put a gun to my head. Darry hadn't heard from the police yet, Dally thinks they are over it by now.

Alex is still in the back of my mind.. Every time someone brings up the incident I hear his voice in my head. Dally still strongly believes its those two guys he once knew.. but I believe it's Alex. I need to find out who those stupid guys Dally was talking about anyway.

"Hey Pony" I said coming out for breakfast. Thankfully it was only him out there, I wanted to ask him about Dally's "friends"

"Hey Han, you look nice" Pony snickered.

"I don't care anymore Pony" I huffed and flopped on the wooden chair.

My outfit wasn't my usual 'going out' look. I had sweatpants and one of Dally's sweatshirts that was way to big for me. I had my hair in a messy ponytail, but I had makeup on, so.

"I know Han. Just ignore them. I bet you'll find them today" He smiled.

"I hope" I said and began to eat my cereal. "Hey Pony, can I ask you something about Dally?"

"Sure? what's up?" He put down his spoon.

"Do you know anything about Skylar and Cooper?"

"Who?"

"Never mind" I sighed and got up from the table.

Why is this such a secret? I went to my room and grabbed my notebooks and put on my converse. I looked at myself in the mirror once more. I sat there and stared at myself. I looked terrible. My face was still bruised from the Bob incident, my pale skin not helping with the fading. I had black bags under my eyes for I don't know how long. I can hardly move my upper body without wanting to scream in pain. I always have a headache, I feel a cold coming on, winter is soon here, can my life get any worse?

I take that back. Aside of all those bad things, I love my new life. I love my new family and I love my boyfriend. I'm happy that I'm here, I'm just scared. I don't want to end up like my mother.

"Han? Is everything okay?" Pony said peeping in the door.

"I'm fine" I said not taking my eyes off the mirror.

"You sure? You don't seem to good"

"I'm seriously fine Pony. We should get going, we're gonna be late" I said getting off the bed. I could see worrisome and guilt filled in Pony's eyes. I was fine, he never did anything. I just want to figure everything out.

***

Days and days had past. I still haven't found the guy. The police still haven't called. I still don't know anything about Cooper and Skylar. I don't know why Dally hides condoms in his second drawer. My mind is going nuts.

"Darry" I said. It was only us in the house. I barred myself in the room and tried to think everything over but I can't do it on my own.

"Yes Hannah" He said putting down the newspaper.

"I need you to tell me who Cooper and Skylar are" I said sitting down on the opposite couch.

"I don't think you wan-"

"Darry. Please. I need to know everything I possibly can right now. There's to much going on in my head. I need to know this can you please just tell me now" I cut him off. It was kind of an outburst. "I'm sorry"

"It's okay Han. I understand" He said. I nodded.

"Well. Cooper and Skylar huh"

I knew by the procrastination this probably wasn't a good thing. It can't be worse than him killing someone though, at least I hope not.
