Undying

Chapter 17: MEET

I opened my eyes and found out that I'm in my bed before seeing Tara sitting on a chair right beside my bed.

How long have I-

"You've been asleep for hours. Don't worry. Nothing has happened while you were sleeping." Tara grabs cup of water from the table and offered it to me.

I slowly took it from her and began drinking till there's nothing left.

I began wiping my wet mouth with my hands. "I see.", I looked up and scratched my black hair.

Tara cleared her voice to get my attention, " I'm sorry. I was just overreacting."

I turned my head to her and smiled, "That's okay."

My cellphone suddenly rang and my hand reached my pocket to answer who was calling.

I put my phone to my ear and heard a soft voice. "Can we meet? I need to talk to you."

That voice! It's Amy. Why is she calling? Hershel usually calls me. Wait! Why does she want to meet me?

"Amy, why are you calling me? Put Hershel on the phone. I want to speak to him." I asked.

"My father is having a cold right now. But don't worry, he's fine. He just can't come to the phone right now." She answered.

"I see. Well, what do you want to talk about? Why can't you just say it to me right now?"

"My phone is not like yours. So, meet me in the park. They might be listening right now."

"Wait! I can't do that." I tried to refuse but she already ended the call.

I put my cell in my pocket and let out a big sigh.

Damn her! Why do I have to meet her in a public place?! Bitches!

"Who was it?" Tara asked.

"Amy. She wanted to meet me in a park. I tried to refuse but she already ended the call."

"What are you gonna do?" Tara looked at me with concerning eyes.

"Easy, I'm gonna meet her. I don't know what she's up to. But I'll find out. She can't kill me anyway."

"Be careful." She held my hand next to her.

I smirked deviously, "You don't need to put your concern on me."

She let go of my hand as she looked away with her red cheeks, "I'm not concern, you idiot."

I sighed and sat up before walking to the mirror placed on the table.

I'm wearing my X-outfit. Bu6 My mask is gone now because of Tara. Damn it! I need to find a way to meet Tara without letting her see my face.

I clenched my fists as my teeth gritted.

How?

"I have an idea." Tara's voice declared behind my back.

(Hours Later)

I saw Amy sitting on a bench. She was wearing her school uniform which is a short black skirt and a white blouse. I hid my face with my leather hood as people continued to walk past her, ignoring her, while I continued to lean against a tree.

I'm just on your right and you can't even see me?! How stupid?!

Suddenly! A man walked past Amy but before he walked past her. He left a walkie-talkie on the bench she was sitting on.

I pull out my communicator and putted it to my ear before pushing a button.

"Amy! Do you read me?"

Amy looked at the walkie-talkie and grabbed it before putting it to her ear and pushing a button to reply.

"I read you." Her eyes scanned her surroundings before it landed on me.

I continued to hide my face with my hoodie before smirking wickedly.

"So, what is you want to talk about?"

"It's Walter. He got out."

I scoffed and gritted my teeth with annoyance, "You found him yet."

"No. But we're working on it."

"Just get it done."

"Understood, X. But wait! I have something to ask."

"What is it?"

"Do you really love Tara?" She asked. The tone of her voice becoming serious.

I sighed and inhaled deeply before exhaling. "Yes. I love her."

Nope! I don't. But I will, when she gets to 22. She's too young for me and I know that. She loves me but I think I don't deserve her love. True, that I tried to save her but that doesn't mean I love her. I only love her as sister, for now.

Amy looked down, "I see. But I'm sorry for this."

"Sorry for what?"

That doesn't sound good.

A brown curly haired man wearing a black leather jacket with white shirt and dark pants approached her while pointing a Colt 45. on her.

Fuck! Why Walter should appear all of a sudden?
