Wyatt and Wendy

Chapter 14

 

 Wendy

I have never seen my brother, so broken. I placed a hand on his shoulder, "you still love her don't you?"

He turned to me "I never stopped."

         I gave him another hug and whispered in his ear "I am so sorry. If she is still with dad we'll find her and you'll be with her again".

        He pulled away and looked at me "she's not with him Wendy, he lost her; she ran away. I called him every day after that day she was unconscious every time. One day I called and he said she wasn't there, she ran from him Wendy and he's been trying to find her ever since."

        "Then we'll find her ourselves it can't be hard if you remember everything about her", he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and opened his mouth but before he could speak there were three knocks on the door. I went to open it and there stood a guy surrounded by suitcases. He had dishwasher blond hair and gray eyes, his smile was crooked but that was something that you were able to over look. He had on a white wife beater and khaki shorts "um is this the guy's dorm?" he asked.

I nodded "yeah I'm just visiting."

"I'm Karl, I am the new roommate."

I stared didn't Wyatt already have a roommate? Then I remembered, after the incident with Jake, I had used a little my power of “persuasion” to get him transferred.

He rocked on his heels and looked past me, "Can I come in?" I opened the door and he stepped in.

"Wyatt you have a new roommate" I said. He got up from the bed and shook Karl's hand.

"Wyatt."

"Karl."

 "My sister Wendy", Wyatt pointed to me Karl smiled at me "sister" he repeated.

I nodded "yeah sister"; he kept staring, his eyes twinkling.

 "Um Wyatt I have to go" I said making way to the door; I was almost to the middle of the hallway when Wyatt called my name his head sticking out of the door "don't call dad."

I walked back to his door "fine but I am telling Matthew".

He looked shocked “he attacked me for not having her, imagine what he’ll do if he finds out, do you want to plan a funeral."

“I have to tell him because firstly because my relationship is in peril, secondly it's his sister and thirdly my relationship is in peril".

"It's all about you again,"

 I am kidding I said in thought to him, he rolled his eyes "fine go ahead and tell him".

"If you need anything feel like talking, crying or anything call ok".

        He once again rolled his eyes "ok and if that idiot you call your boyfriend doesn't take your thesis of what happened to his sister and completely breaks up with you and you are just devastated and don't feel like living any longer" he paused "don't call".

He closed the door I smiled to myself same old Wyatt.

        I walked down the hall to Matthew's room, and gently knocked on the door. He opened it a crack "can I come in?" with no gesture, he closed the door in my face.

I knocked again, no answer, "I have something that will help us find Annie."

        He opened the door right away and let me in. His face was scarred with a black eye and a slightly swollen lip; "this" he pointed to his face "is what you asshole brother did to me".
