Lost Was An Understatement

Part 15

Friday 8PM

After dinner when her aunt had just gotten home, Yana decided to confront Jamie and his mom about what she had remembered.

"How did you find out!?"

Yana gulped, looking at her frustrated aunt.

"I'm really sorry.... if you didn't want me to find out but I did!"

Jamie sighed.

"And were sorry we hid this from you."

Yana sat down, trying to contain her anger.

"But why? What else are you hiding from me? Why did you hide something so important? More important why don't you hate me!?" She yelled.

"It wasn't your fault! I could never hate you!"

Her aunt came closer to her, and Yana screamed "Don't come any closer!"

Her aunt stepped back and Jamie decided to try and sit by her side.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She yelled again and Jamie looked down. "You were so depressed before. I didn't want you to remember and become like that again. You blamed yourself for killing my dad..."

Yana then yelled again. "So what if I was depressed?! That doesn't mean it will happen again!"

"Trust me, we did this for you..."

Yana looked at her family with disbelief. "Well you know what? I can't trust you guys anymore."She stood up from the couch and left the house.

Friday 8:15pm

Going straight to the park, she immediately lit up a cigarette and put it to her lips.

"Are you smoking?" A person came out from by the slide and she quickly turned to the voice.

"You do know that isn't good for you right? Well not like I care." The person rolled her eyes and walked to where Yana was.

Yana smirked. "Ellie. What brings you here?" Ellie smiled lightly. "Got a drink." Ellie shook the plastic bag full of beer and Yana nodded.

Then Ellie took the cigarette out of her mouth, threw it on the floor and stepped on it.

"Don't smoke." Ellie grabbed a bottle and gave it to her. "This is better."

"I thought you didn't care?" Ellie rolled her eyes again. "You wanted to be friends right? I'm acting like one."

Yana chuckled. "I guess so. In the bitchyest way possible." Ellie smiled. "Better than nothing."

Then Yana asked "Where are the boys? Your usually with them." Ellie shrugged. "I like being alone to you know." Yana took a sip of her drink. "You seemed like the type to seek attention when I first met you." Ellie shrugged. "I don't try too. Though, I do like attention." She laughed at how ridiculous that sounded, coming out of her mouth.

Ellie then said "So what's wrong it led you to smoke?" Pointing at the cigarettes on the floor. Yana sighed. "I found out something." Ellie got the message. "Which one was it? Uncle or Aunt?" Yana furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?" Ellie pursed her lips, cursing internally as she let something out she wasn't supposed too.

"Nothing forget it." She said and Yana yelled "No. Tell me." Ellie shook her head, usually she'd blabber everything but this matter was too serious and definitely wasn't hers to tell.

"I said forget it."

Saturday 1am

Yana walked home late at night, hoping that everyone was asleep. She sighed when she walked in.

Yes, everyone was asleep but her aunt was still in her work clothes from when she left, and was knocked out on the couch in a position that seemed like she was waiting for Yana to come home and she was.

"Mom.... I know Yana she'll come home..." Jamie put a hand on his mom's shoulder and his mom sighed.

"What if she doesn't? Where did she even go? What if she gets hurt out there!?" Seeing his mom genuinely worried for Yana was an unusual thing to see, but warmed his heart.

"Yana's always comes home late at night... just go to sleep..." His mom shook her head.

"You go sleep. I'll wait for her."

Jamie sighed at his stubborn mother.

"Mom I told you she will come home! Just go to sleep! Your tired from work!" His mom then shook her head again.

"Jamie. Go sleep. I'm going to wait for Yana. I need to make sure she comes home safe!" Jamie shook his head in annoyance and walked to his room.

"Fine."

Yana sighed, looking at her aunt and walked to her aunt's room. She grabbed a pillow and her blanket, putting the pillow gently under her aunt's head and tucked her in the blanket.

"Good night..." She mumbled.
