It was in that moment that when Tony had finally agreed to let me listen to these tapes, I couldn't help but to take in the fact that I was going to find out the truth....
With Justin, Kimberly, Clay and who knows 10 other people at our school, since some of them saw Hannah's death, attention like.
Which I did not see in that way, it was heartbreaking to even think that my brother had anything to do with Hannah's death, yet. I didn't believe it was bad. She loved him. He loved her.
Maybe it was of what he didn't do......
I was to curious to hear Justin's and Kimberly's that I was trembling at the fear that was held over me. The truth was going to come out, weather through me....
Or the tapes....
I was sat back in Tony's red mustang, we both sat silently. Tony had handed me a box. And in the box were the tapes. 13 cassette tapes.
That held the real meaning on why Hannah Baker had killed herself. I was eager to hear them yet, scared at what I was going to hear.
I softly took the top from the top of the box, off and slowly glanced at Tony. His eyes were tired and yet worried. He passed me a Walkmen, I grabbed it. Glancing back at him.
He was looking down at his hands, I reached over and lifted his chin up to face me, his hazelnut glory eyes, were soft.
"Thank you, Tony" I said calm like, I was beyond relieved that I had gotten a few answers this afternoon.
I leaned forward and kissed his cheek. I smiled lightly at him, I felt his eyes on me as I put myself back into my original position
I put the map back into the box and closed it, laying the Walkmen on top of it. I took in a shaky breath.
It was 5:45pm and throughout that whole time, Tony and I barely talked about the tapes, he just agreed to give them to me, we went to his house he grabbed them, and then we were in front of my beloved home.
I looked down at my hands and carefully made my way out of the car.
"Marie?" I slammed the car door shut, but turned to see Tony glancing through the window before he pulled it down.
"Take care of yourself okay?" He said I smiled at Tony and nodded.
"I will, thanks Tony" I replied back
"And uh, I'll drop your bike off tomorrow morning for you" I chuckled at that and smiled he nodded shortly before I waved him off
"Ill see you tomorrow Tony" I said lightly and turned to my home, and looked down at my feet as I walked towards the front door. I heard his car tiers sound off in the distance as he left.
I clenched at the feeling that grew in my stomach.
When I unlocked the door, I put the box of tapes and Walkmen in my bag, zipping it up and slinging it over my shoulder again, before I came face to face with well my worst nightmare, my mom. As for nightmare being an embarrassing mother. You'll see sooner or later.
She looked beyond relieved and suspicious. Uh no here comes the mother and daughter talk. The embarrassing part of my life.
"So Clay told me you were out with Tony, for an English project? Hm I didn't know you two talked?" I laughed at my mom, she smiled down at me. I shrugged.
"We're friends, just because we don't see each other in public or talk in public doesn't mean we're not friends" I said lightly my mom raised her eyebrows at me, smirking.
"So you two are dating?" I stepped back choking on thin air.
"N-no mom I just said we're friends" that's when my dad walked in. Finally.
I reached out for my dad he was confused at first but hugged me, and patted my back as I coughed up my lungs.
"D-dad, moms crazy" I chocked out my dad chuckled I stepped back, gaining my breath. My mom shrugged.
"What he's a good guy why not" I shrugged at her.
"Are we talking about Tony?" My dad asked my mom looked at him nodding. My dad looked at me wide eyed.
"Are you two dating?" I shook my head quickly.
"That's what I said" my mom said the both of them looking at each other.
"Who's dating who?" Oh for goodness sake, a family reunion why don't we just invite the whole school huh. I face palmed as my brother entered the hall, with cake smeared on his face. My mom and dad pointed at me.
"Apparently Marie and Tony are?" My dad said I raised my hands.
"Oh my gosh, I'm out. I'm done. Seriously" I said pushing pass my brother and run up to my bedroom. Shutting and locking my door as I lumped on my bed.
What has my life turned into... A sad story about my sucking love life? Or about my embarrassing family?..
Then again Maybe both..
