The Secret of The Johanssons

Chapter 9 : Diary of Truth

I went out of the hospital still blushing . The nurses kept looking at me , i guess they thought i had a fever . I kept thinking about what happened and how it happened . I left him sleeping and i didn't even leave a letter . I walked towards my car and went in . I sat there for what felt like hours and didn't even bother to turn the engine on . What happened came flooding back like a dream . I smiled like and idiot and directly slapped myself in the face .

I drove back home smiling and kept thinking about what happened . It was dark outside . The street lamps were on . When i parked my car it was 10 pm , lights were off inside my house except my room . I walked in feeling scared that aunt or dad would notice ive been gone . I rest my back on the back of the door and slid down . I sat there for a long time smiling and dreaming .

The world started to turn into a dark hole . Then there was a light at the end of it , took me a minute to realize someone turned the lights on . I opened my eyes and scrambled to my feet . The lights was so bright , I blinked a few times letting my eyes adjust to the brightness .

An outline of a person started to take shape . After a few seconds , i can finally see who it was .

It was aunt

" oh god , aunt , you scared me " she stood there looking at me without saying anything . She started to walk towards me .

" where have you been ? "

" wha-"

" WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! " i flinched . Her voice surprised me , she never raised her voice at me.

" th - the brew " i said shaking

" you're lying " she looked at me closely , trying to uncover the truth with her eyes .

i clenched my hand into a fist , my legs started shaking and sweat was trickling down my neck .

" th - the hospital " i stuttered

" hmm " she said going to the kitchen

I followed her inside , to my surprise dad was standing beside the sink . I looked at my dad then my aunt and started to get confused .

" what were you doing there ? " aunt asked

" visiting a friend "

" who? "

" why is this starting to turned out to feel like an interrogation ? "

" who? " she said louder

" Devon " she stayed silence for a while then she smiled

" oh Devon Walefire ... its been a long time since i heard that name "

i looked at her in confusion " how did you know his back name ? how did you know him at all? "

" Give me your phone Scar "

" why would i do that ? "

" give . " her tone was firm

i looked at my dad . He looked at me and gestured me to give my phone to her . I looked at him in surprise , this was not my dad . I gave it to her and walked towards my room .

" and by the way Scar , you csnt see him anymore and no more going out for you "

I stormed out of the room . My bedroom door was opened , the room was a mess . Papers on the floor . My blanket was on the floor . My Vanity was a mess too , perfume bottles knocked down and my laptop was on the floor .

I can feel the heat rising inside of my body . I storm downstair and found Aunt and Dad talking to each other.

" What do you guys think you're doing? my room was a mess "

" were trying to help you Scar " said Dad

" help me ? im not crazy ! "

" we did not say you're crazy . We dont want you to get hurt " Aunt said

" well stop it " i started to walk to my room

I went in my bedroom and slammed the door . I walked back and forth when it huts me , they were trying to find something , but what?

I walked towards my window and looked outside . The sky is pitch black and the trees were swaying back and forth . My eyes landed on the cottage .

" its on the diary . You haven't read it ? "

Devons voice haunted me . Then i realize , all the whispers aunt and dad shared , them knowing Devons back name and also my real past

Can be answered by that diary.

I wanted to run towards it but not tonight , theyre watching.

Tomorrow.
