Thank you so much the two people that started following me and I will follow back.

Autumn's pov

It's been two weeks that I and Kincaid became friends, even though there's something, a chemistry, but we chose to ignore it. We're going for picnic today and I have been in front of the mirror trying to pick the right dress.

I settled with faded jeans and a big red sweater and a pair of  red sandals.

" I am off" I yelled from downstairs, no response I head outside grabbing my coat from the hanger. Once I opened the door, the freezing air of November hits me, very soon I will be going on holiday and I can't wait to get away from school. I got out my phone and called Kincaid he answered in the first ring and I smiled inwardly

" Hey,uhmm, I done I will meet you at Pops"

" Okay, I will be there in five"

I hung up and started strolling down to Pops lots of thoughts ran through my mind.

I have to ask Kincaid about Vanessa and how she ruined his life, there are lots of things we have to talk about.

Kincaid pulls over with his red Mustang,

"See, I beat you to Pop's" he said as he got out and came around to open my door.

" Hey, I still don't get why you didn't allow me to pack pancakes or waffles, I make the best" I said pouting

" I planned this picnic, Autty and I wanted it to be special and I feel like you've been avoiding me so I wanted to make it up"

I felt crushed, he knew I was avoiding him, but how can I tell him that I found out he murdered someone when he was 16. I forced a smile then asked

" So where are we going??"

" You will see" he said smirking

We drove outside the skirts of Eastside and we were heading towards the hills and waterfalls.

We got to dead end and he stopped and got out then came around and opened my door

" Comon" he held out his hand

I took it and came out, he grabbed the picnic basket and he held my hand and we walked through a flower like curtain and there were stairs ahead we climbed and got to the top where you can see the whole Eastside

" Wow!!" I couldn't help but exclaim

" I know right??, This is my best place in the whole world" he said smiling.

I spread the picnic cloth and we sat down, we talked about random things until he said it

" So about you avoiding me lately want to tell me what I did wrong??"

" Okay, I will just say a little thing about it and I think you can figure out the rest"

"Okay??"

" I joined the school newspaper club and I read the Vanessa story, before that I had a little encounter with Lara, she asked me if you told me about Vanessa and I said yes, then she said something about you loving obsessively, I wanted to tell you, I swear I did but I couldn't, and I am really sorry I kept this from you and I..." All this while I was not looking at him and I looked at him and he was looking at me smiling and he reached for my hand and said

" I know you were scared and thank you so much for telling me, can ask you something??"  I let out a breath I never knew I was holding

" Yeah"

" Can we make a pact"

" Yeah"

" We will call it the No secret pact, let's never keep anything from each other"

" Okay"

" The pact starts now, the newspaper wrote their own story, now I am going to tell you my own story, It was Four years ago, The Morgans were the second richest family in Eastside after my dad, Vanessa was the only girl with two older possessive brothers, we all went to Eastside High, Frederick one of Vanessa's brothers was my friend and the Captain of our football team, I saw Vanessa and thought it was love at first sight, I asked her out and like every other girl that I ask out she said yes, I was the school's notorious player and smart ass, we started dating and were quite popular, I was cool if a guy comes close to Vanessa but she starts complaining, that I was acting as if we weren't dating, from that day any guy who came close to her was a competition for me. Anyways Vanessa and her brother were awfully close, his name is Victor they're twins. Vanessa's friends or should I say minions went around telling people that I am obsessed with Vanessa, I was constantly following Vanessa and her brother, but I was doing that to find out what's going on between both of them. They told everyone that I couldn't leave Vanessa and her brother alone, I was very angry and I confronted Vanessa, and didn't even apologize or do anything instead she rolled her eyes. I was having pretty bad anger issues and I met my doctor for counseling, she gave me a drug for it and I took the drug with me everywhere. It calms me" he stopped for sometime and looked at me obviously surprised to see me crying

" Why are you crying??"

" Sorry I just get emotional sometimes, please continue" I wipe my tears with the back of my hands

" One day we had a game against our biggest rival and we won everyone went about celebrating while I looked for Vanessa, I saw her going to the back and I followed her, every time I remember what happened back there, I fell chills running through me" and I can see the goosebumps all over him

" Vanessa was kissing her twin brother Victor, I thought it was another guy until I went closer and I saw him, I was very very, angry, and we had a argument and I didn't even remember my drug neither did I remember what happened that evening, that evening Victors body was found in a pound with a bullet in his chest, people thought I did it and I was charged but I got released because of my medical condition" we went into a comfortable silence after that and I spoke

" Did Vanessa ever tell you what happened that day?"

" She told the sheriff that she wasn't there, she just saw her brother dead and she knows I killed him because of my obsession"

" Thanks, for trusting me with your secret, now it's my turn" I sighed and he looked at me

" We moved to Eastside because of the shame my mom suffered in Greenville, her father and mother hated her because she gave birth to Zack when she was 16, she married my dad and then the family continued, I heard rumors that my moms sister was my dads lover. We moved to Eastside because of the problems we had"

" So Autumn Arison do you still want to be friends with me?"

I looked at him and laughed " Yeah duh, and I promise Kincaid we will find Victors murderer"

" What if it's me?" I reached for his hand and looked into his eyes

" I know it is not you" he drew me closer and looked me, then he leans his head on my shoulder...I thought he was going to kiss me.

I didn't really organise this chapter well but I hope you enjoyed it.
