Beautifully Broken

Chapter 4

I gleam at Fin in a sort of angry manner. I didn't want him spilling that information quite yet. I was trying to get to know Holden better before then.

"I'm pretty sure everyone has. They're practically famous...or we're I guess..." he says looking slightly uncomfortable.

"Everything alright?" I ask him.

"Um yea..." he says nodding

"We have to get to class now." I say getting up. I signal Fin to come with me and he follows. I wave to Holden, but all he does is just sit and stare at me.

Weird.

We go to last period and I can't even concentrate. Why was he looking at me like that? I just try to avoid the whole lunch period in my head. Fin and I leave class when it's over and go to our lockers.

I can't take it anymore and spill it to Fin," Do you think he figured it out?" I ask

"Maybe. I'm just hopeful that he doesn't already know." he sighs.

"I mean maybe he does... but I just hope that it doesn't change anything." I sigh. I shut my locker and stand outside with Fin.

"I have to go Aub. See ya." He says hugging me tight. I've always enjoyed his hugs, but lately...I need a new person to hug.

I sit in front of the school building, probably the last one here. I begin to walk home when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around.

Him again.

"Are you busy?" he asks

"Well, no." I say being honest to him for once.

"Let's go. C'mon!!" he says begging me.

"Go where?" I ask

"You'll see." he smirks

I feel very hesitant going somewhere with a boy like him, but I like adventures and this will be one heck of a ride.

The radio comes on and some Fall Out Boy songs come on, like "Thks Fr The Mmrs" which is my favorite and I can't help but sing it.

He smiles at me from the driver seat.

"What?" I blush.

"You're just a beautiful singer..." he says

I turn out to the window so he doesn't see me blush as hard as I am.

So we arrive.

Wait. No.

No.

My fear grows strong as we are here.

Here at the place where all of my bad memories are.

The lake behind the fence border.

"You okay?" he asks

"Just fine." I say smiling.

lying.

We hop out his old pick up truck and we begin to walk towards the edge of the lake. I try to keep my anxiety down as we approach this place.

We sit at the water's edge.

This is awkward.

"So tell me about your family..." he says nervously.

I bury my head in my hoodie so he can't see me wanting to have a panic attack.

"I can still see you." he says scooting closer and pulling my hood off.

I chuckle and just spill it. "I'm 16. I live in the Victors Village along with my parents.."

His jaw drops. "I KNEW IT!" he smiled

"How?" I ask

"You have your father's beautiful blonde hair color and your mothers beautiful, long and wavy hair. You have your fathers gorgeous blue eyes that sparkle when you stare at them long enough. You're tall and strong just like them too..." he says blushing and smiling as wide and hard as I've ever seen him like that.

That's how I am too.

but worse.

"Wait...but how do you know all that stuff?" I ask curiously

"Let's just say that our parents did the same thing we are doing. Right here. Right now. Same age and all...."
