Pure Trust

6

It's been two weeks since we saw Matthew. Noah had taken him when we went separate ways. The police were going to take us home but I refused and drove us home instead. School was out for the rest of the year, due to multiple students getting injured or worse. Noah hasn't contacted us either. Shawn and I barely speak to one another due what happened with Matthew.

I shivered as the house temperature dropped. Fall was coming in, it always got colder before December. I had on my turtleneck sweater Jason had given me for Christmas last year. I had forgotten about Jason. I was also stunned when he threw off that wolve like nothing, but. His eyes are what haunt me. They were blood red. He looked like he could've bearly controlled himself. My mind settled on the fact that he's the same guy as before even though it's still fighting whether to trust him or not.

I opened the sliding door, as it had led me to the back of the house. I walked towards the green house Mat and Shawn put together for me. I had bought the set, but they decided that "they are men and can fix anything". They almost broke everything and I had to do it myself as Matt read me the instructions and Shawn handed me the pieces.

When I walked inside it was a bit warmer keeping the flowers and plants alive. I looked at the lavender that was growing for Miss Cook. Since she likes buying it from me, along with a few other plants. The rose bush was growing beautifully. I picked two and a few daisy's. I started heading back inside. I smiled at the flowers. The lights in the house were on, to my surprise. They were all off when I left. Shawn was in his room. I closed the door behind me and headed to the living room. "Shawn what do you want for dinner-" I stop as I see Noah and the other boy from before where here. I didn't see Matthew, that's what got me worried.

"We came here to explain, what had happen with your brother" Noah spoke. "Hes with us and hes fine" the other boy spoke that we learned was Dalton. They didnt say anything else. I felt my blood start to boil. "What, that's it?" Shawn raised his voice. "No bringing him here, no explanation what happened at school!".

"I'm sorry but that's all we can tell you" Dalton spoke. I clenched onto the flowers, the few small throns that remained were clawing at my palm. "What? That is unfair you need to tell us were our brother is at now!" Shawn shouted as he stood up. "I understand your mad-" Noah was interrupted "Mad?! I'm furious since you havent told us anything! Matthew has been gone for 2 weeks! We are worried sick about him and you not giving us enough information isnt helping!" Shawn shouted at both at them and had shoved Noah. "Dont do that" Noah said. "Do what?" Shawn shoved him again. "Shawn" I called him but he ignored me. "Stop" Noah warned. "Not until you give us enough information!" Shawn shoved Noah harder. Noah snapped and shoved Shawn against the wall. I run to Shawn's aid. He coughed and his had a bloody nose. I stood up and walked to the door. "Get out" I said two both boys. "We cant-" I interrupted Noah. "I said get out! You started it this and you arent explaining anything so please I beg you just tell us were Matthew is?" I asked one last final time. Silence filled the room has the cold started to slip in due the door being open. "I asked nicely, I was patient, but now your your pissing me off way more. Not just for coming into out home, hurting Shawn. I wont apologize for his actions. But know this" I looked at Noah. "You were welcomed here and I had, had enough, so leave when I'm asking nicely" I warned. They both sigh and walked out I slammed the door behind them and looked it. "Your going to call them arent you?" Shawn asked. My head leaned against the door. "If they arent going to give us the information, we'll get it ourselves"

After a couple of days after seeing Noah and Dalton. I made a phone call to one of Matthew's old friends. They may be bigger assholes than Matthew but they owed Matt. Daniel was coming to the house to give us something.

I laid in my bed, waiting for tomorrow to come. My blanket had barely kept me warm. I didn't understand why he himself did not come. I don't understand why they keep us away. Matthew I swear once I see you I'm beating your ass. "Why am I being so violent? '' I whispered to myself.

I couldn't sleep but tomorrow came. Daniel had come and dropped off pictures of Matt. They were all fine and talking with people. "He looks fine, nothing to worry about now I have to go before Jonny calls later" he says and walks out. Shawn went to his room and slammed the door shut. You're not aboundeding us too, Matthew?

After hearing about Matt I needed to leave the house before I let my anger get the best of me. I started stretching, as I was going for a walk up to the lake. Shawn walked outside. "You coming with?" I asked and he only nodded. We opened the gate and started following the trail. "I'm glad you came. I actually didn't want to go alone" I say breaking the silence. Shawn kept quiet. Soon we both picked up the pace. Shawn started going ahead. Whatever was bothering him was getting to him. Now we were running to the trail. Avoiding rocks and such. I tried to block out my thoughts but they got the best of me. I just continued to run with Shawn.

We stopped in front of the lake, catching our breath. "He left us" Shawn says while catching his breath. "What?" I asked. "He left us, he probably was given the option to stay and he took the opportunity" he explains. I shake my head. "Matt wouldn't do that to us-".

"Just face it! It's true, he left us cuz he got sick of carrying us on his back his whole entire life, just like our parents!" Shawn shouted at me. I felt overwhelmed and felt the tears start to form. "You know why I can't believe you? I couldn't leave you guys, I couldn't leave you or Matt no matter what. And if he did-" I breathed in as I knew the words that were going to come out were going to hurt me. "We'll leave and move somewhere else. You and me. We'll give Matt a week if he doesn't show, we are gone" I say to Shawn. He nodded and sat down on a rock. I looked at the lake. It was beautiful. As much as I love it here, it's only me and Shawn now if Matt doesn't appear. Where are you Matthew?
