[BOOK 1] The Adamahns and the Star Child 🏳️🌈 [boxboy][original]

84. Inside Huntley's Heart

The bus arrived.

Reluctantly, Huntley boarded the bus settled at the almost farthest seat at right side of the bus by the window. Within thirty minutes, the bus moved and drove away from the station.

There weren't too many passages in the bus. There were a six college students at the front of the bus. There was an old man at right with his grand daughter. A couple was seated at the same side as Huntley at least six or seven rows in front of him.

Looking at the window, Huntley still felt his head hurt which was still wrapped with a bandage. His face sparsely bruised while his left arm had a sling and was slightly sprained.

His heart was breaking into a million pieces knowing that Ajax had gone missing because of him. He blamed himself for forcing Ajax tagged along with him in the resort. He thought that if he just let Ajax stayed in the city safe in his tiny apartment, his brother would still be around and alive.

"Oh God! What am I thinking?!"

Huntley's own thoughts frightened and repulsed him. How could he think that his brother was dead.

Tear began to flow freely from his eyes as he continued to blame himself for bringing Ajax in a resort in the middle of nowhere. The guilt that he was feeling was so deep that he wished nothing else but death to get him soon.

"It should have been me!" Huntley said to himself as he cried. "I hope he is not in any pain. I hope he is safe. This is all my fault!"

Several hours later, Huntley was back into the city . He entered his apartment. He did not even bother to open the lights. He went to the receiving area and sat on the couch. He continued to sat on the sofa and cried until he fell asleep.
