It Can't Be...

Chapter 35

A/N:  Here is another chapter and I hope you enjoy it.

Tee POV

I know that something is up. Tae was responding to messages late last night or should I say very early this morning. However, he hasn't said anything to me. Normally, I would just chalk it up to some family or hazer business, but with the stuff that has been going on with Uncle Ted, I can't help but to think that it has something to do with him. Oh, I'm really starting to hate Uncle Ted. I never really care for the man or his family because he seems to think that the world is here to serve him. However, I still can't understand how he ever got that idea stuck in his head, but he does. The worst part is how he treats my grandparents. Shouldn't it be Uncle Ted helping to make my grandparents' life better, especially in their older years?

Ugh... The whole situation makes me mad.

As I'm taking a shower, I decide to try and let the water help to calm me down. I take a deep breath and close my eyes as I stick my head under the shower head. The pulsing warm water begins to massage my throbbing head, and slowly I begin to relax. However, my mind can't completely forget about Tae messaging someone.

I sigh and run my hand through my wet hair as I tilt my face up into the water, wishing that the water could cleanse my worries away as much as it is cleansing my body.

I wish Tae were here. He always can make me forget my worries. However, he had to get up early and head off for some hazer duties.

As I head out of my dorm room, I can't fight the feeling that Detrick is restless, but at the same time happy. However, it is the restless part that my mind can't stop worrying about.

Walking down the hallway, I pull my phone out of my pocket and call him.

Ring...ring...ring...ring....ring....ring...

Ugh, Detrick isn't answering the phone. Maybe he is in the shower. I quickly send him a message, instead, asking if he is all right. I don't want him to know that I can feel something is not right, but I'm sure that he will know as soon as he reads my message.

I sigh as I put my phone back into my pocket. I guess I'm just going to have to wait to find out what is going on.

As I walk with Copter and Godt towards the engineering canteen, Godt nudges my arm. "Hey, Tee. What is wrong? You have had a frown on your face all morning and you aren't even smiling knowing that you are going to have lunch with Tae and Detrick."

Copter nods his head. "Yeah. Did something happen last night?"

I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know. Tae was getting messages late last night which I'm assuming were from his family. I didn't ask. Then I was getting this uneasy feeling from Detrick. Well, it was mixed with a happy feeling, but I'm sure he was happy because of Dean."

Copter asks, "So, have you found out what the uneasy feeling is yet?"

I shake my head. "No. I tried to get a hold of Detrick this morning, but he didn't pick up. I'll ask him at lunch."

Godt chimes, "I'm sure it is nothing. Don't worry about it too much. Okay."

As we walk into the canteen, I shake my head. "I'm not sure. I have a feeling something big is going on and I need to know. I finally found Detrick, and I'm not going to let something happen to him."
