Everything About It

Chapter 10

XAVIER'S POV:

Not exactly the brightest moment of my life. Waiting in a holding cell while your father verbally wrestles with the policemen in the front desk...not a pretty sight.

I could hear his voice raise, "Wait, hold on a second. So, you arrested my son because you think he's a murder. YOU ARREST MY 17 YEAR OLD SON! Not even an adult yet, need I remind you. What makes you think he's a murder? My son would never. Never hurt anybody. Not even by accident. If you'll excuse me I'd like to take my son back home."

After about 20 minuets of arguing with the cops they finally let me out, my father waiting by the door.

I don't forgive him, just because he temporarily got me out of this mess it doesn't mean I now suddenly have a debt to forgive. Walking towards the door he grabs me by my arm,

"Xavier. We need to talk..." his voice stern, I respond

"No, you do." I tried making it clear and to the point as I barged right into him and walked outside into the breeze. My father running behind me as I try and escape his next words.

"Xavier! Xavier! Hold on. Stop walking away from me, I am your father! For Christ's sake how many times do I have to remind you?!" His voice shouted. Lucky for him the road was empty as only a few cars drove past.

"What do you want! I don't want to talk to you, I don't want anything to do with you, Dad!"

"Son..." He walks closer to me, levelling his hands with my face. He finally takes his finger and traces the scar on my cheek.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't- are you hurt?"

Flinching from his touch, I take a step backward. Furious that he could even ask that, how? How could I be ok if this is the kind of stuff that surrounds me, constantly.

"Am I hurt?" I spit out his question, repeating it in my head repeatedly.

"Look, I'm sorry. You know I didn't mean to hurt you...I just want to know if your okay"

I can't bare to look at his face.

"NO! NO! I'm not okay! You don't know the pain! Yo- You don't understand, Dad! You just don't!"

"THE HELL I DON'T UNDERSTAND!"

Beat.

The tension greater than before as wind blew past us, pushing the leaves against us.

He carries on, "I have been there everyday of your life. I lost your mother too. I have to deal with the same pain. The same guilt. You are not the only one that's lost someone, Xavier. Don't talk to me about not knowing pain, because trust me. I have felt it. Everyday of my life. Don't tell me I don't understand, Xavier. I understand. I UNDERSTAND THE PAIN!"

Beat.

ADRIA'S POV:

I hate how everyone just walks around normally, how they can laugh, hang about and just go on with their day normally. As if one of their own didn't just die.

I'm walking down the school hall, its my free period. I look down, trying to imagine how it would be if Shane were next to me right now, how his smile would just take over, how he'd slyly grab my hand and make a joke out of nothing and everything at the same time. How he'd just be there, and him just standing there would be enough.

"Watch were your going, sket"

My body bumps into a girl, quite taller than me I guess. Looking up, and its not a surprise who I see. Kristina Archerbolt. Xavier's crush, Shane's step-sister.

"Sket?" I scoff,

She looks me deep in the eyes, hating me with every power she has. I don't blame her.

"Don't talk to me. Just don't"

"Trust me, I have no intention to. Especially by someone who called me a 'sket' because of an accident."

She scoffs.

"Just because you and my brother got along, doesn't mean we should too."

"Step-brother."

She swallows, holding back a tear.

"I was the one that gave the statement about you and Xvaier to the cops. They asked if people would step up if they knew anything, say something. Because, now apparently my brother didn't commit suicide. Do you know how horrible that is to hear?"

"Xavier." I sigh, he has so much feelings for her. If he knew that she's the one that gave in the statements...

"Not my problem."

I swallow, regretting my next question.

"Why?"

"Because. You murdered my brother..."
