You Can't Lie Anymore

Chapter-42

The guard opened the gate for us after we were sure, Adam was in the house.

We parked the car among the cars that Mr. Grant owned thinking Adam won't notice the change, rather the addition.

We entered through the main entrance of the house and went in to the second floor. Closing the door opposite to that of Adam's room we stayed there, till the time we weren't sure if he was in his room.

"What the hell are we doing?", Ryan whispered to me in my ear.

"We are keeping an eye on Adam",I said.

"Okay", he said.

"Dumbo", I commented and he looked at me. I ignored him.

The two of us had our heads next to the door as we were trying to hide, when the door opened and banged us on our heads.

"Ouch"

"Ouch"

This was Ryan and me, due to the pain we felt where the door had hit us.

"What the hell are you doing here?", Adam asked.

"How'd you know?", I asked.

"You followed me to my house, and D saw you coming up to the second floor.

"Shit, we should have taken him on our side.", Ryan whispered to me but was loud enough for Adam to hear. He raised an eyebrow at him.

"I told you I'll be fine", Adam said looking at me.

"Adam I can't risk it, after what Olivia and Carter have experienced, I can't turn my back on you", I said.

"You aren't turning you back on me", he said placing a hand on my cheek.

"I'm here as well", Ryan said trying to make us pay attention to me.

"Just tell us what is that, your sin", I said to him.

He removed the hand that he had placed on my cheek and lowered his eyes.

"Adam what have you done? What is your sin?", I asked him.

He sighed and turned his back to us leaving the room. Ryan and I looked at each other not sure what to do, and decided to follow him.

"Why are you following me?", Adam asked stopping mid step in the stairs almost making Ryan and me fall on him.

The two of us didn't say anything, just looked at him.

"You should go home, I need to be alone, D will take care of me", he said.

And before we knew anything we were thrown out of the house by our own best friend.
"Dude did he just trick us out?", Ryan said.
"He sure did", I said.
"Let's go", he said.

"Do you believe that woman?", he asked.
"Athena", I informed him, "kind off, rest here is where we can get our answers", I took the journal in my hand which was on the passengers seat, where I was now sitting.

"What is this thing?", Ryan said glancing at the journal while he drove, eyes still on the road now.
"Athena's grandfathers personal dairy, and confession", I told him.
"What was that all about?", he asked.
In the 20 minute drive from Adam's to his, I explained to him everything we learnt today.
"That's sick", he said.
"I don't know, I just don't want any regrets", I told him.
"Whatever you say", he said as he parked the car in his driveway.
"Do you believe me?", I asked him.
"I don't know, but I do believe in you", he said looking deep into my eyes like touching my soul.
"Thank you", I said to him.
"Don't need to, anything", he said and smiled the most beautiful smile I had seen, not the usual Ryanish bad boy smile, but the genuine one.
"Awwww those dimple", I said poking the sides of his face with my finger.
He chuckled.
"Why don't you stay over? It was an exhausting day", he said.
"Mom dad are out of town", I said.
"Exactly, you hate living alone", he said.
"Fine, but you'll have to read this with me", I said.
"Come", he said and we moved out of the car.
His parents were already in their room. The help got us dinner and we went to his room after seeing Mr. and Mrs. Grayson.
"Okay, her grandfather was Michael", I said.
"How do you....." I showed Ryan the name that stood proud on the first page before he could finish his sentence.
"So we will read this ?", he asked.
"It clearly stated how obsessed he was with Amara and how jealousies he was of Dimitri", I said while reading the writings.
We spent the two hours discussing the journal, which had Michael's version of the story. Everything that Athena told us was true, according to the journal at least.
The two of us weren't sure what to do.
"We will deal with it tomorrow", Ryan said placing the covers on me.
"Olivia's sun we know, she confessed and it stopped, but Adam and Carter", I said.
"What is I had touched the wall instead of Adam?", Ryan said, "I've hurt girls, and I'm not proud", he confessed.
"Then my boy, you should ask for their forgiveness", I said poking his nose.
"I will, once this is over", he said.
"I hope it gets over", I said.
