  A few days later...

**********

  "Hey," Dylan walks up to your locker.

  "Oh...hi," you say. Things have been awkward between you two ever since Five threatened to kill Dylan. You have been trying to avoid Dylan. Because you know Five will kill him.

  "Ummm, does your boyfriend go to this school? I don't see him often around here." Dylan asked. 

  "Yeah, but he's really good at science and math so he's been promoted a few grades up. That's why he doesn't have class with us." The higher grades were rarely seen around lower grade's quarters. Mostly for reputation. That, and the fact they couldn't be bothered with us.

  "Oh. So, ummm, could we eat lunch together?"

  You look at him. "You know what he said."

  He stares at you intensely. "You're not his. You don't have to listen to everything he says."

  You sigh. "Okay,"

**********

  You text Hayley that you can't eat lunch with her today. You bring your lunch tray to the table where Dylan is sitting. "Hi, Y/n," he gives you that cute blushing smile. You blush too as you sit down.

  Just then, Five pops out of nowhere. You seem to have forgotten that he has powers.

  "Bastard," Five says through gritted teeth. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from my girlfriend?"

  "Five," you try to reason with him.

  Dylan stands up. "She doesn't belong to you. She can do whatever she likes."

  Five punches him in the face. 

  "Five! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

  Dylan doesn't hesitate. He punches back, hair in his eyes.

  Everyone in the cafeteria looks at us. Even the lunch ladies. A few juniors start cheering and soon the cafeteria is filled with clamouring, cheering and jeering as the two boys fight.

  "Five!" His face is full of blood.

  Five thrusts Dylan on the floor. "Dylan Garrick. Two years ago, September thirty-first. Do you remember what happened?"

  You freeze. Dylan stares, afraid, at Five.

  Five continues. "That night, three people died. One, Jordan Garrick. Two, Andrew Garrick. Third," he swivels to you. "Jack Y/l/n."

  You sit weakly on a chair. Jack.

  "That night, one more person was supposed to die," Five looks down at Dylan. "You."

  "However, your wound wasn't fatal. It simply hit you in the abdomen. Someone found you and sent you to the hospital. Unfortunately, your two brothers could not be saved."

  Tears were rolling down your eyes now. The crowd stared, mesmerised, at Five.

  "After two years of rehab, the judge decided to let you go. They applied for you to be in a school. However, the school wasn't impressed with your criminal record. So, they sent you here temporarily."

  You stand up. "So it was you," you look at Dylan. "You were one of the robbers there that night when my brother died."

  Dylan edged away from you. "No, listen, I can explain-

  "No, you don't." The burning tears rolled down your skin.

  "I- I didn't kill him, I didn't. It was the man with the knives!" He suddenly looked stricken. "Dieg-

  You walk to him. "I know," you say. "I forgave him." You look him in the eye. "If you had told me earlier, I would have forgiven you too."

  Dylan looked at you sadly and stopped talking. You walk out of the cafeteria.

**********

  Turning invisible, you walk to the place you never thought you would return to. Home.

  No, it's not your home. Not anymore. You tell yourself.

  You stroke the worn leather armchair. It had been taken from the trash, but so what? It was still your favourite. 

  You notice a dusty picture frame on the table. You pick it up, gently blowing off the dust. And there it is, the features of your brother, an arm around you. 

  You realised how much you'd forgotten about your brother.

  Wiping off the rest of the dust, you slip the picture out and put it in your pocket.

  I'll never forget you, Jack.
