Part 19

**Kaownah's POV**

Feeling kind of confused as to why Gulf rushed out of the house once he saw the note, I rush to my room real quick and then head out the front door to follow him.

I want to know what's going on.

He's, seen that letter millions of times the first few weeks after Mild's death... So why is he freaking out now?

I wait for him to pull out of the drive way before I follow behind him, but after some time I start to recognize the route, which just confused me even more.

Why is he driving to Perth's house?

Oh Is he going over there to get comfort from Mew...

That would make sense since there actually together though. Yes, I am happy for them but at the same time, It does hurt just a little bit. I loved him for a long time so it is a little hard to see him with someone else but I do think he can be happy with Mew.

Perth makes me so happy!

Gulf pulls into their driveway and then gets out of the car looking really pissed off slamming the car door.

Okay... it doesn't look like he's here for comfort.

I'm so confused...

Getting out of my car, I slowly follow Gulf into the house as he fights with the maid to let him go upstairs.

Not wanting to wait till everything went to shit, I sneak in through the back way that Perth usually brings me in and I wait outside his room as I see Gulf barge into the room and start to yell at everyone inside.

I try to move as close to the room as I can without getting caught because I did kind of creepily follow him.

As they were talking I kind of zoned out a bit not really paying attention until Gulf starts to yell and that's when I decide to listen.

Gulf: Being really loud. "Yes mew. Now WHY THE FUCK IS YOUR HANDWRITING THE SAME AS THE NOTE."

Why is Gulf even bringing this up to them. They didn't even know we existed until a few months ago.

But then Mew started to talk and I it started to feel like my entire world was spinning.

Mew: "that's because... I... I'm the one that wrote the note... I couldn't just leave him in the alley, I needed to know that he would get buried. His family needed closure..."

Once his words reached me, I felt the tears Cumming and I felt like sobbing but I covered my mouth with my shirt and tried to stay quiet.

What?

Gulf: "You killed Mild Mew... You... ..."

Perth: "No Mew didn't want to do it... I'm the one that killed Mild... If you want to hate anyone, you should hate me..."

No. No. No.

I don't believe it, Perth would never hurt anyone... There has to be a mistake...

But then he continues to talk about the night Mild disappeared and I can't help but feel my heart shatter.

Each word that came out of his mouth felt like I was being stabbed and ripped open all over again.

I had finally come to terms with the fact that we were never going to catch the murderer, just to find out that it was the man that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

The fucked up part was that I still wanted to spend my life with him...

I love him...

But my brother, every day he's gone. I miss him more and more.

I see Gulf rush out the room looking shocked and disgusted.

Understanding how he feels, I slowly make my way to the room and wipe my tears on my shirt. I need to hear this from him face to face or I might never actually believe it. Walking into the room, I keep my gaze on Perth the entire time and try really hard not to break down again.

Kaownah: "What did you just say?..."

At first Perth didn't notice it was me until he lifts his head out of his hands as his gaze lands on me.

Perth: Pulls himself together and walks over to me. "Kaownah, what are you doing here?"

That's really all you have to say to me?

I try to take a step back as he gets only a few feet in front of me but my back hits the wall. Shit...

Kaownah: "I-I followed Gulf when he rushed out of my house. I-I heard what y-you said... Is it true? Did you really k-kill Mild?"

Not really wanting to know the truth, I feel my hands start to sweat so I try to wipe them on my pants and look down at my feet.

Please lie to me Perth...

Lie to me so I don't have to hate you for killing my brother...

Perth: His lower lip starts to tremble and he fills the gap between us and rests his head on my shoulder. "I'm so sorry Kaownah... I didn't want too..."

The tears begin to fall and I leave my arms at my side not being able to move a muscle, too nauseous to really think clearly.

Kaownah: Feeling hallow and empty. "I won't report you and I won't tell my parents but I don't ever want to see you again." I use the little strength I have left to gently push him off of me. "I'm done Perth."

Before he could answer, I glance at Mew and then turn around, walking out of the room.

Leaving the two people I hate the most in the house that was nothing but painful memories now.

Getting down the stairs wasn't easy and it didn't help that the maid was waiting for me once I got to the problem.

Maid: Trying to walk up to me. "Is everything okay?"

Kaownah: I hold a hand up to her, to try and keep her away. "No not really but everything will be fine. I don't think ill be seeing you again... I have to go..."

She looked concerned but didn't say anything but nod her head and walk the other way.

Once I was outside and headed to my car, it became really hard to breath and I gripped my chest. Falling onto my knee's I try to rub whatever it was that hurt but I don't think it was helping.

I collapse fully onto the ground not being able to get a full gulp of breath.

What's going on?...

I try to form words to call for help but I couldn't get my body to comply.

And then everything went black...
