 CHAPTER 47 - The Truth

"Fear is the greatest bully in the classroom of life." 

 

If this quote by Carla Hunter is true, then I was getting bullied, and that to a lot. I don't know why but I really was scared. There wasn't any reason to be terrified but I was.  Maybe it's because of the setting of this place.

You know that feeling when you want to know about something but the person in front of you just won't utter a word?

The same thing's happening with me right now. I want to know why Aiden brought me here. I want to ask him many questions. Why he broke up with my sister? Why he hates Ryan so much.. Where was he from so many days? Was he avoiding me?  What's the reason behind his different behavior?

I wanted to know everything and I wish he'll tell me everything, with pure heart. No lies, no excuses.

Just the truth.

It was dark and chilling at the same time and the fog wasn't helping either. There was a big rock in the corner of the cliff but not to close to it to fall down the cliff. This place wasn’t familiar to me but the only thing or someone that came to my mind when I discovered we came to the cliff was Richie. The things Ryan told me felt fresh again. It felt like Richie's connected to this place because it looked the same as Ryan described me.

What the hell is happening?

Why isn't he saying anything?

I looked at Aiden who was standing very near to the cliff's end, his back was facing me and he had his hand in his pockets.

Wait. Is he going to jump from there?

"Aiden, are you alright?' I asked, trying to get his attention.

He slowly turned to me. It was dark but I could still sense the guilty look on his face. It seemed that he feels bad for something.

"What happened? Why are you so off today?" I asked with concern, though I was shivering like a homeless cat but I still managed to speak.

He smiled weakly at me and took a few steps closer. He was now away from the end and near to me.

"You want to know why I brought you here, don't you?" he asked.

I  looked at him and nodded, causing him to smile a little but it was still that forced, weak smile like earlier.

"Then I'll tell you why."

Ryan's Point Of View

I don't know what I was thinking before taking this decision. I am such an idiot. How can I do something so painful for someone who I love the most?
