Where Your Secrets Hide

EPISODE 53

"Dude you alright?" They asks me when I arrived our tables. "What did they say?" He added. "Nohting, just some bubbling non sense and I don't care about it at all." I said and I start to unpack my lunch and start eating eat. I bought a shawarma from the star diner earlier before going here in our school. While we are eating Jake walk towards us and smile. "Can I sit here?" He asks and we all look to him. "yeah sure Jake." Jonna sai and he sat down beside me.

They just have their own conversation while I am eating, I ma not good at interacting with others especially talking about yourself or any other stuff that entertain them, I a more of a....

I don't know.

"I hope there are no body is going to fall again in front of us, or I swear I will never eat again." Jonna said while looking to the ceiling, looking for a person who could've fall today. "That is not funny Jonna." Carla said and she tap her arms. "I ma just making sure, the last time who is looking to the celing when Ares fall is no other than Jackosn the reason why he wasn't traumatize about it, because Aress warned him." Jonna said and look at me. "it is traumatizing, trust me." I said and finished my shawarma.

I look around and some students are looking at us, I don't know why, but I can feel that they are talking about us, I just have no idea what kind of story are they telling to each other about us.

"Speaking Ares, how was his condition?" I asks them, waiting for an answer, hoping that he is alive, or I could ended up not sleeping tonight if he ended up dead. "I heard he is in coma. The doctor even said that the survival chance is so low since he broke his spinal, his arms and legs, even his neck." Carla said. "I am literally surprise that he is still alive right now, it is a miracle!" Vick interrupted while eating his pasta. "yeah, I thought he is gonna die." We all look to Jake when he speaks.

I mean, they are right, I even thought he will be deas seconds after he fell from our table.

And I couldn't stay thinking about what he looks like, it creeps me out, it's like memories are coming back to me, everytime I tried to rmemeber what Ares look like, I can see no other than Chase face when I broke his neck.

But I didin't meant it, it was all an accident.

Just like what happened to Ares, it is all an accident.

"Jackson, you alright?" I went back to reality when Jake called me. "Of course I am." I said and I look around and I can see their smile while talking to each other and I can see Katharina looking at me. "I have to go, I remembered I have something important to do." I said and avoided having an eye contact with Jake.

I immediately leave the table and went to the bathroom for me to wash my face for me to feel the cold blazing feeling of the water from the faucet, maybe washing my face is the answer for me to stay awake always, for me not to remember those horrible things from the past, because I don't know what will happen if it keeps happening to me, I might ended up being mad.

While I ma enjoying the feeling of the cold water, I almost stop my heart when I look to the mirror only to see Austin standing behind mme, looking straight at me.

"What the hell Austin. What do you want from me?" I asks him but he wasn't responding. "Austin." I called his name but he just stayed there, like a psycho. His eyes are looking straight at me using the mirror in front of me. "Austin your freaking me out." I said when the light flickers inside the bathroom.

Before I turned around to face Austin, I was shocked when he immediately hold my hair and stamp it on the mirror that makes my forehead starts bleeding.

I slowly touches my forehead and saw the blood on my hands.

"What the hell!" I shouted and now I faced him when my eyes widend. His eyes... His eyes is not his... It turns to blue.

Austin eyes wasn't blue, it is green.

I can see his paling face and his lips that are so white, he looks like a ghost, a dead rather.

"You now feel what I felt when you did that to my head on the car." He said and I got confuse to what he said. "But it is more tragic than what I did to you. You deserve more, I aint." He said and he run towards me to attack me when I immediately avoided him.

I fell on the floor when I felt his hands draaggin me on the floor towards whatever he thinks.

"Austin!" I shouted and I kicked him on his legs that makes him fall. I immediately get my legs back and crawl away from him when he immediately grab my hair and forcely turned me around to face him and choked me with his bare hands.

"Austin!" I said while fighting him off. "AUSTIN!!" I shouted and try to push his hands away from me. I was shocked when he started to lift me up only with his left barehand while still choking me. "Is this what your revenge to me? I will walk towards you and shoot you with a gun!" I said while still trying to fight him off. "I rather walk in a small steps, forcing myself to stand and walk, than be with a crazy person like you!"

He said and I couldn't understand what he said.

"You're not just crazy, you're crazy in love! Stay away from me weirdo before I shoot you with this in the head!"

He said until I remembered when did I exactly heard this sentence.

I open the door and I saw Chase holding a gun, pointing it to me. "Don't you dare!" He said in his confident voice. "Chase, I didn't mean to." I said and he went outside, trying to stand by himself, even tho he can't. "I rather walk in a small steps, forcing myself to stand and walk, than be with a crazy person like you!" He said and he keep walking backwards while pointing the gun to me. "You're not just crazy, you're crazy in love! Stay away from me weirdo before I shoot you with this in the head!"

I don't know what to do, I'm just standing here, looking at him, while his hurting himself, by forcing his broken leg to work.

After a second, he fall and drop the gun on the grass. I run towards the gun but Chase hold my feet that makes me fall on the grass. He crawl towards me and tried to get the gun first. I keep searching for the gun using my hand but Chase got it first.

I tried to get the gun to his hand, until he pulled the trigger. A loud noise was released from the gun and we both stop and look to each other.

This Chase in front of me, it's not Chase. It's not the Chase I know, he is not the boy I know, he's different.

"Who are you?" I ask him and shove his head using my arm. I heard a crack from the distance so I look fast and I was shock when I saw Chase lying on the ground, his eyes are wide open, and his head was tilt, looking in my direction, like he's staring to me.

"Chase?" I called his name. "Chase?" I called him again, but no response. I kneel down and look at him. I was shock when there's a blood from his head, spreading on the grass. "Chase?!" I shake his body, I tried waking him up, but....

He's dead.

This is what Chase exactly said just before...

Just before he died...

"MR. KOBE!" I heared someone shouted and a sound of a foot step followed.

They push Austin back that makes him drop me on the ground.

And when I did, Austin collapses on the floor too, like he fainted ro something.

I look around and I can see everyone looking at us, girls and boys, students and admin.

I don't know what happened, but I know one thing....

The Austin that attacked me... Wasn't Austin Kobe...

It was Chase Hudson...

But why is he back?

Why?
