Thunderstorm: Unforgettable

Chapter 16

" Good." He reaches his left hand out helps him up off the floor and BAM punches in the face Keith with all his might.

"Why?" Keith said in a sluggish voice.

" For Thalia."

" Why would Thalia.." he thinks for a moment. " Oh, I knocked her out and put her in a ship against her will. Yeah, I deserve that."

" Look I am really sorry, I put myself before others and wasn't right," Keith said.

" You could of talk to one of us," Duncan said.

" Could I, we hardly spoke to each other for some weird reason, Artemis mainly focused on Troy and that's fine they deserve each other, and Thalia hasn't been able to convince me. So not really I couldn't." Keith explained.

" Look I get I'm very antisocial, but you could of at least try."

" How would you know? You have never been through."

" Is that something you know for sure or something you assumed?" Ducan asked.

" Ok point taken, what have you been through?"

" Abusive father, a mother who made it clear that she would want to get rid of me. I have a scar on my chest because my father tortured me with a knife burn mark on the right shoulder because mom decided to pour scalding hot water on me. Should I continue because there are a lot more layers of pain?"

" If you want to."

" Troy is the closest thing to a brother and his brother committed memory suicide because life was too painful and says the reason he doesn't speak to is that we did know each other. Those ones I can talk about without bursting into tears. Look you may think no understand pain like you do but your dead wrong. "

" Does the pain ever go away?"

" No, but it becomes more bearable. Want to know how?

" Yes."

" By asking people to help you. Think about that. Also, prepare for the day you see Thalia face again." He walks to the exit.

"Where are we?" Duncan opens the door and Keith sees the exit he carved open.

" We're back here again. Why?"

" Relax, soldiers are in their cryo pods everything fine."

" I want to see." They approached a room full of capsules." Duncan finds and flips the light switch. " When was the last time you came here?" Keith, his echoed.

" Last week why?" His voice also echoed.
