Chapter 53

A L E X

I was sweaty and it wasn't even first period yet. I took a shower,got changed and headed to my locker before being pulled into an empty hallway by Damon.

"Whats going on?" I asked him once he turned to face me. He looked hesitant to speak. I raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?" I asked louder, he grimaced.

"Henry wants to talk." He said looking for a response from me.

"Is that it? " I asked a burning sensation starting in my chest.

"He wants to talk to us." He said looking at my clenched fist by my side. "I know that you most likely don't wanna go but I have a feeling it could very important. He wouldn't just want to talk out of the blue ,especially not with you."

"Ok.When?" I muttered quietly,exhaling to calm myself down.  When I didn't get an answer right away I looked up at Damon. His face was scrunched up.

"What?" I asked.

"I just thought you would say no." He mumbled scratching his neck as a sheepish smile formed on his face. "But anyway let's go."

"Wait right now?" I questioned. I had class in 20 minutes and if I was late the teacher would give me a lecture before giving me detention. Damon nodded and began walking towards the double doors. "Hey wait for me!" I shouted jogging after him. Damn, he literally was right beside me.

As soon as I exited the building I was then dragged to the farthest part of the parking lot. Damon's long strides were no match to my very slow ones. I spotted a Range Roger and assumed it was Henry's since his giant head was visible through the window. From far away he actually looks like Eleven from Stranger Things. But with a bigger body.

Truthfully I didn't want to see Henry's face. Nor did I even want to talk to him. But if I wanted to know what happened that day I needed to talk to him. But something feels off. I hate his guts for what he did to my brother but why would he tell me what he did. Seems a bit off is all. Maybe I didn't get the whole story.

"Aleeeeex." I snapped out of my thoughts and followed Damon's voice. I hadn't realized that Henry had gotten out of his car and was standing in front of us. "Are you ok?" Damon questioned. "Yeah." "What do you want?" I demanded. Henry seemed to snap out of his thoughts as well. He mumbled something under his breath.

"What'd you just say?", I asked.  Henry just stared at me with familiarity.

"Nothing. Look ,I'm not here to talk just warn you.", he started. "Boss is planning something, and it's gonna get nasty."

"What do you mean Henry?",Damon demandes. His eyes narrowed, no longer holding any calmness.

"I don't know much but i would still lay low. He may be busy with something else but don't think he's forgotten about you."  Henry warmed.

"Why are you telling me this?" "You think this'll make everything right! After what—"

"—this isn't me trying to make anything right. I did what I had to for family." Henry snapped." I don't like it but it happened! Believe it or not I cared for him, I could give a shit about you. But out of respect for Leo, I'm giving you a heads up." He didn't wait any longer before getting back in his car and leaving.
