The Choice (Love and Betrayal #2)

"Don't lie to me Matt! I know you're hiding something!" I shout/accuse him.

"No I'm not." He murmurs under his breath. Ha! He's lying! He always talks slowly and softly when he's affectionate or lying! And he surely isn't affectionate right now.

"You are lying!" I point at him making the moment all the more cliché.

"N-no I'm not!" He's speaking louder now. But he's stuttering! He only stutters when he's really nervous! Like when he was breaking up with me. . .

"Yes you are! Now tell me what you're hiding!" I yell.

"Fine. But I've kept this a secret for a long time. So you have to too."

"I promise." I comply and offer my hand.

"Okay."

"Tell me already! I need answers over here!" I demand with my puppy eyes.

"Please put away the puppy eyes, that don't work on humans." He tells me in a not rude manner, but it sounds like a rude manner to me.

"Fine." I groan.

"I worked for the person who ran STxxx7." He lets out the confession in a low whisper.

"And what does that have to do with anything?" I ask making him inhale a sharp breath.

"Cass, you don't understand! STxxx7 is a really dangerous sedative that controls your mind!" He sounds so serious. But I can't. I'm too scared.

"So? Inhalants do the same." I regret saying it as soon as it comes out of my mouth.

"Please Cass, just listen to me. STxxx7 can control your mind. It makes you have suicidal thoughts everyday. It makes you feel like everyone hates you. It doesn't twist words. It twists your brain to the point of pure evil. And within one week, the victims die. It's like Ebola. But more deadly. It's like the case of the dogs jumping off bridges. Everyone who takes STxxx7 is immediately wanting death and evil. Like the Lavender Town music incident. A-" he sounds so sad as he says it.

"What's the Lavender Town music?" I ask just not knowing anything all up in here.

"It's music that was put into the Pokémon games one time (old video game) and it caused many 10-15 year olds commit suicide." He answers.

"But how?" I wonder how he puts up with my questions sometimes.

"It's a frequency. It's especially appealing to young kids. And. . . It makes them kill themselves." He sucks a breath in.

"Now continue with your story please."

"It just makes you miserable. Until the point you kill yourself." He finishes.

Th-that's horrible! But I still stand by my previous question. What does STxxx7 have to do with any of this?"

"Because. The person who runs STxxx7 is your mom." He says pressing his fingers to his forehead. A big weight seems to have been lifted from him.

But I should've known. I should've known that it was my mom.

Every time I type 'your mom', I just want to do this instead :'YO MAMA'! Yes, I'm still immature.

And this is starting to get more like Tell Me How I Die. Which is my official favorite movie now! Whoop whoop! But yeah. There's going to be a lot of more talking scenes and some killing scenes (which I'm not exactly good at in short stories and stuff but I'll give it a try). I'll tell you why Lucas didn't show. Happy? Good. It's my job to use this emoji 😘
