Chapter 6: the secret's out

*At the cemetary*

My uncle and I just stood there, infront of their tombstones, in silence. Before long though, my uncle broke it.

"Becca we should go", he said, calmly.

"You can go ahead. I'm gonna stay here a little while longer and I'll take a cab back.", I said, not looking at him.

He sighed, but still mumbled a 'bye' and left. I stared, at what was writed on the tombstones, In loving memory of..... That made me remember how loved I felt when they were still on this planet. It made me remember how much I loved them. And that, made me miss them so much more. I kneeled down, before the tombstones, just staring. Before I knew it, I was crying. The salty tears reached the tips of my lips and my cheeks were wet. Then I whispered, "I miss you guys. So much..."

Suddenly, I couldn't hold everything in. I let it all out.

"How dare you guys leave me alone! You left me, to survive without anyone by my side. You guys broke my heart! I thought you loved me!" then I just started sobbing, "I thought you guys did... god I miss you guys so much..."

I was there, shouting and crying at the tombstones, hoping that they would hear me. To hear and see how broken I was. How damaged I was. I just kneeled there, for a long time, till I noticed the sky started to get dark. I stood up, my legs sore from the long kneeling and decided to go back.

---

I got out of the cab and stretched. I knew I looked like a disaster but I couldn't care less. It was almost midnight and it's not like there would be anyone here anyways. I would probably just go back to the dorm and fall onto bed. I started walking past the halls, looking down, when suddenly I heard my name. I was wrong, there was someone here.  I turned around and saw the last person I wanted to see. Tyler.

He started talking as he walked towards me, since he wasn't that far infront of me, " hey what are you doing up so.." he trailed off once he was close enough to see the lines of mascara on my face. I tried looking down but he put his finger and my chin and forced me to look into his eyes as he looked at me suspiciously.

"Is everything okay? I thought you were out with your uncle. Did he do something?" he asked.

"I'm fine. Its nothing" I said.

"It's not nothing. Look at yourself. Eyes puffy, mascara running down your cheeks, that's not nothing. What happened?" 

"Just let it go." I said.

"I'm not letting it go Becca" he said.

"Why do you suddenly care so much huh?" I asked, curious as to his sudden careness.

He muttered something under his breath, which I think was along the lines of 'here goes nothing' but before I asked him why, he beat me to it and said, " The reason why I'm here, late at night, is because I can't sleep, because I was thinking, about you...." I was pretty sure my jaw hit the ground then, but I didn't say anything, I let him continue. " I don't know why but I was worried for some reason so please just please put my mind at ease and tell me why you were crying."

I was lost for words. This is huge news. This is... wow. Tyler Moore was actually worried. And more importantly, worried about me. I didn't know how to say 'no'. Somehow after he said that, I wanted to tell him. I felt like I could trust him. I looked at him, straight in the eye and said, "Okay but it's gonna take a while."

"I'm here." he said, smiling.

There and then, I told him the whole story, from my parents to the cuts to Jefferson. He just listened attentively, nodding sometimes telling me that he was listening and he understood. After everything, I closed my mouth to let all the information sink into him.

To my surprise, instead of giving me that sympathetic look like everyone else, he just nodded and smiled a sad smile like he could relate to me. But I didn't press onto that matter. Besides, there was something more interesting at the moment. Tyler Moore was worried about me? Wow. Big news guys.

" So now that you've told me your story, I bet you're dying, wait sorry not dying," i smiled a little but let him continue " I bet you're wanting to know why I'm here...." Tyler said with an embarrassed smile.
