Threats (Sequel to 'Feelings')

[13] Let Me Tell You A Story...

Rye's P. O. V.
I made my way towards the coffee, I already saw Amanda waiting for me. She looked tired, her otherwise thoughtfully groomed long blonde locks were tangled and her green eyes didn't look as bright as they usually did. As she saw me she welcomed me with a decent smile and gestured for me to sit in front of her. "Hi" she said. "Hi Amanda, how are you?" I asked. "I'm fine I guess, University got me a little stressed and I may lack a bit of sleep but I can make it" she laughed. "Okay so to the point, you wanted to talk to me about... Shay right?" I asked carefully. "Yes" she said. "Okay, so let me tell you a story..." she went on. "... Once upon a time three teenagers went on a summercamp in Germany together, their names were Andy, Amanda and Charlotte. They slept in a massive building, but only a small part of the building was actually used, so the youngsters decided to go explore the abandoned part. There they discovered they weren't alone. The unrenovated part was home to a tramp. That's were it got disturbing. Because a few days later the tramp turned out to be a murderer. His victim was Shay, Charlottes little sister. Charlotte was devastated and blamed Andy for the matter. He believed her and completely beat himself up about it. But Charlotte didn't seem to realise that we were hurting too, she wanted revenge. Revenge on Andy, she believed he took Shay away from her, so in return, she wanted to take a loved one from Andy."  It took me a while to let it all sink in.

"But... Why did Andy want to hide it from me?" I said after a long silence. "Because Charlotte is threatening Andy. She found your account on twitter and started sending Andy messages for almost two weeks now. The reason Andy kept it a secret is because she's targetting you" she explained. "And he thought I'd be safer not knowing?" I asked rather to myself than to Amanda. "I suppose, you have ti know that he's been struggling with it for very long, and he still feels responsible for what happened to Shay. But he's not. He was an innocent teenage boy who couldn't have predicted the murder in any way, I wish I could actually make him believe that" Amanda sighed. I nodded. Thoughts were spiralling my head, making me dizzy. I felt so stupid that I never even knew such a shocking part of Andy's past. And I must've made it worse Yesterday asking those questions. I wanted to leave right now and go home, hug Andy and tell him it was all allright and that I loved him, but I stayed, because I saw that Amanda needed someone too. "Are you doing okay under this situation?"I asked again. She nodded weakly." I'm fine really. I will be okay" she sustained. "I really think you should get some rest too. For your own good" I insisted. "But... I guess you're right, but my studies..." she protested. "Your studies will go much better when you're awake. You're basically snoozing on the spot" I said. She wanted to say something, but then nodded. "Okay then, I will" she surrendered. We greeted each other goodbye and I went straight home. I needed to see Andy.

Authprs note
