Screaming in the Dark (Finished)

Chapter 50

A/n: Song for David 

I let out a frustrated sigh that let him know exactly what I was thinking.

“Not this again.” I told him annoyed.

“Hey before you hit me again. Just listen to what I have to say.” He told me firmly.

“I’ll listen but I can’t promise I won’t hit you.” I told him honestly.

“Look I’m not stupid. I get it your don’t like being told what to do. You made that perfectly clear, so I am not going to tell you not to see Jared if that’s what you want. I just think you should know the howl story.” He told me.

“David I get it. I do, but I can take care of myself.” I tell him.

He just looked back at me. He smiled as though he seemed to get an idea.

“So you don’t want to know what happened between me and him. I thought you girls loved the gossip. If you’re not interested I’ll just leave.” He said as he got up.

I had to hand it to him he knew that I wanted to know about all of the drama. He was not willing to tell me last night but he is now.

“Sit back down.” I tell him as I grab his wrist and pull him back to me.

“So now you want me to stay, I thought you wanted me to get the hell out.” He said mocking me.

“Shut up before I change my mind.” I told him.

I looked at him eager to hear what he had to say.

“Okay well like I said before the three of us used to be friends. Jared, my brother and me. I even used to be friends with the rest of his band. Jared and I became in separable after the accident.”

“What accident?” I asked him.

He looked at me for a moment, sadness over coming his face.

“The care accident that killed out parents.” He told me.

I had no idea his parents where dead. I mean maybe if I was not so high last night I could have put it together but right now I just felt like a complete ideot.

“I’m sorry. I did not know.” I told him.

“It’s okay it was three years ago.” He told me.

I could tell he was not okay. He sat there looking at his hands silently.

“I think my mom might be dead.” I told him pulling him out of his thoughts.

“What do you mean?” He asked me.

“I don’t really remember. I was found in Boston when I was ten. I was dropped off at a police station. I have no memories from before then. It was not until about two weeks ago I found my dad. I always thought I was just abandoned, not wanted but I found out that the same day I was found my mom’s entire family went missing. I think there dead.” I told him.

Finally saying it out loud for the first time. He looked back at me I could tell he was feeling sorry for me and I did not like that.

“I did not tell you to make you feel sorry for me. I just needed to say it to someone. And you were talking about your family.” I told him.

He just smiled at me. I could tell he could see right through me. That I let something personal slip and now I was trying to cover it up. He went along though letting me think that I was back in control.  

“After the accident I started spending a lot more time with Jared. He always would through the best parties and that’s exactly what I needed at that time. Parties things to distract me. After a while that did not work. The alcohol and girls were not enough.”
