Silent Heart

Prologue

(James Baker POV)

"Jack! Wait up!" I say smiling and running after her and her boyfriend. She looked at me with her vibrant emerald eyes and smiled. "Quite loud today aren't you Jay?" She says. I roll my eyes and look at her. My hair falls over my eyes and when I push it away she was gone. "Jack? Henry?" I say looking around for them. I turn a corner and see her and her boyfriend making out on the wall. I turn away from them. I didn't trust Henry. He was horrible. When Jack is away he treats me like I'm nothing. When she isn't looking he takes pictures of her and pushes me around. He says things about her that are too evil to repeat. I turn back to them and sigh. "Jack. Henry. Come on, we gotta go." I say. They pull away from each other. "Ew! Were you watching us the whole time Baker? That's pervertic." Henry says. "Jay, just go ahead without us. You're old enough to go around alone right?" Jack says. "Yeah you're fifteen right?" Henry says. "I'm sixteen." I say walking away. I feel tears brim my eyes. "Jack. Can't you see that he's bad for you?." I Whisper to myself while snapping the rubber band on my wrist.

I walk back to my uncle's house and sit at the table. My older brother, Thibault, looks at me. "Rough day? Senpai not notice you?" He says. "Shut up Tee." I say. He laughs and my other brother and little sister sneak up behind me. "Hey Jay!" They say. I scream and turn towards them. "Why do you do this Emil? You even got Alicia to help?!" I shout. They fall on their butts laughing. "You're so easy Jay!" Emil says. I roll my eyes and get up. "I'm going to bed." I say walking past them. My cousins push past me and my aunt looks at me as I go upstairs. "You okay James?" She asks. "Yeah." I say going into my room. I look at the pictures on my nightstand. The picture of my parents and my siblings leaned against the lamp. Their faces frozen in a happy state. I glance at the picture of me and Jack as kids. She was holding her deck of cards and smiling. I pick up the picture of my parents and lay down, sighing. My eyes started to grow heavy. "Good night mama. Good night papa." I mumble as I fall asleep clutching the picture.

I wake up to the sound of leaves being crushed. I look at the time and see its 2:50 am. I get up and run down stairs. Thibault was asleep at the table and he woke up. He groans and pushes his brown hair away from his eyes. "You okay Jay?" He says with a groggy voice. "Y-yeah. I came down to get a drink. Why don't you head up to bed. Dont want a soar neck do ya?" I say. He nods and gets up. I walk outside into the forest. I inhale the musky scent of bark and minty leaves. I walk down the path and see a tiny hut with a small red pentagon infront. I walk forward and investigate. I hear footsteps and swing my head around...no one. I sigh and snap my rubberband again. I shake my head and walk into the moldy cabin. It was old and dusty, there was a shrine but before I could identify it I was hit with a plank and passed out.

(Jack Heart POV)

I watch Jay walk away and Henry pulls me closer to him. "We probably should've been nicer to him." I say. Henry sighs and kisses me again. "He's fine." He says. I nod. We kiss each other and go back to walking. James was no where to be found. I remember when we were kids he would always sit by a lake with his siblings and his aunt and uncle. His eyes would match the color of the water when you shined the moon on it. He would always look so sad when he gazed into the water though. Henry and I walk back to my house and say good bye. I go inside and sit down on the couch with my little brother. "Hi Jack! Mama is in the kitchen making meatloaf." He says. "Hi Max! Yes meatloaf!" I say rustling his black hair. Max giggles and our mom calls us for dinner. We run to the table and hurriedly eat. "Jack! Max! Slow down! You're going to get sick!" She says smiling. We slow down and Max yawns. "Tired baby bro?" I ask nudging him a little. He nods and rubs his eyes. "I think you two should get ready for bed." My mom says cleaning up. I nod and the two of us go upstairs.

I finish getting ready and I lay on my bed. I take my phone and text James.
Me: Hey. Sorry about earlier. I hope we didn't upset you.
I wait for his response. Nothing appeared. Usually he would respond in a minute. "He must be asleep." I say putting my phone down. I turn off my lamp and drift off to sleep.

I wake up the next morning to the sound of the doorbell ringing like mad. I sit up and stretch. I glance at the clock on my desk and see its 10:29 am. 'Who the hell would be ringing the doorbell this early?' I think as I make my way down stairs. "Mrs Heart have you seen James?" I hear a familiar voice ask. I look over and see my mom talking to Jay's older brother Emil. "No I haven't Emil. Why?" She says. Emil looks as if he's been stabbed in the chest. "H-he wasn't in his room or anywhere in the house this morning. We were wondering if he went here.." He says with eyes brimming with tears. His phone rings and he answers it. "H-hello?" He says. There was a silence and his facial expressions went from worried to almost shocked and hurt. He hangs up the phone and takes off running. "I'm gonna find out what's wrong." I say running after him.

We run to the forest by Jay's uncles house. I see Jay's family crying and talking to the police. I walk over to Thibault and ask him about what's happening. "G-go see for yourself." He says pointing to a crowd. I creep through the crowd and what I saw was heartbreaking
