Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 84

"Kath..." I called her nickname and I could feel her madness within her. "It is not what it looks like." I said. "Yeah? Then how do you call it exactly? You are kissing her Jackson! How do you explain that?" She said and she threw the two drinks that she is holding to me that makes me wet of beer.

"KATHAIRNA!" I shouted her name and followed her but Carla hold my wrist.

I look back too her with my mad face expression, but it suddenly change after I heard what she said.

"Henry... Don't leave me... DOn't leave us again... I am telling the truth, you are the father and not Ausitn.. PLease..." She said while her eyes are shut closed.

Then just after a second she passed out and laid on the couch.

"Tsk tsk tsk" I said and continue walking away from her to follow Katharina to wherever she is going.

I look around just incase to see ehr, but she was just gone like that.

"You messed up dude." My heart almost stop after hearing a whisper on my ear. At first I thought it was a ghost, but wehn I truned around to look who the person whispered in my ear, it was no other than Jake, Chase twin brother.

"What do you mean I messed up?" I asks him. "Don't lie. I've seen the whole thing, how she kisses you first and how hard you tried to push her away." He said and look at me in my eye. "You really love Katharina isn't it? Or you don't want to be kissed by a hot chick becasue someone is definitely in your head... IIt can be Kathairna or someone." He said that makes me confuse. "What do you mean?" I asks him. "You kissed my brotehr, had a relationship with him... Isn't it obvious/ You are not straight bro, you are difinitely gay or a bisexual." HE said. "What the hell is worng with you? You are acting like you are Chase." I said towards him. "BEcasue I am Chase!" He said. "Becasue he is my brother! And now he is dead! Everytime I saw you kiss someone, it reminded me the pain that you've given to him." HE said. "DO you know." He said and started pushing me using only with hsi one finger.

He is drunk, definitely drunk.

"He broke up with Sarah just to be with you? He told me that after the game he will confess his love to you? That he is ready to be with you even though the world is against it?" HE asks me. "Did you know how happy he is when he said that? So how... How can you do that to him?" He asks me. "How coulld you kiss someone without even feeling guilty about Chase? HE died with your love! But you didn't! You were reborn as a differnet guy to what he is describing you! You kiss and have fun. You survive and become a hero! While he! He is dead and his killer is still probably out there!" HE said. "I thought that the WestHood killer is the one who killed him! But it doesn't make sense. Georgina and Chase never knwe each other... Since she only transffered last year. They couldn't meet, they didn't meet. Means only one thing." He stops and drink his beer again oor his liquor. To be honest I don't even know what he is drinking. " Means that whoever killed him 2 years ago, is still rooaming around and having a good time of life while my brother couldn't have that becaus ehe is dead." He said.

He smiled and put his head on my chest that makes me so shy and uncomfortable at the same time.

"I can hear your heartbeat..." He whispered. Even though the party is so loud because of the music that is playing all over the place. "The same heartbeat when you first kiss -" He did not continue his sentence nor his words when he passed out on my chest that mmakes the both of us fall on the ground because I wasn't prepared that it is going to happened.

Everyone in the room where we at look at us.

"Dude you alright?" I look up and saw Vick there. HE gives his hand to help me stand up. "What happened to him?" HE asks. "He passed out." I asnwered and he just looks at me. "He needs a better place to rest." I said and I look to Vick, giving him a sign to help me out with Jake to put himm on the couch.

"I've seen Katharina. And she doesn't look like she is in a good mood." Vick said while we are walking, carrying Jake to wherever we found a couch. "Did something happened between the two of you?" HE asks. "YEah. It is pretty complicated and misunderstanding at the same time." I said. "Why what happened?" He asks me. "Carla kissed me becasue she is drunk and Katharina saw it, thinking that I am the one who is kissing her when the truth is I am pushing her away from me so she could seperate her lips to mine. But she won't stop." I said. "Damn that's a heartbreak dude." EH said and we stop walking in front of an empty couch where we could Jake there.

We put him there carefully and slowly. And after that we both laugh and sat down on the floor and lean on the couch where Jake is.

"So, you are a little bit of a hero of the town isn't it?" HE asks and I just chuckled. "No I wasn't." I asnwered. "I heard what happened. You save Austin from Georgina. You found out her identity." HE said. "YEah, she is pretty rough. I thought I was going to end up dead that time" I said. "But you didn't. You saved everyone's life." HE asnwered to me. "I wish I did..." I said. "Why do you wish that when clearly, you saved everyonoe by telling the WestHood killer's identity." EH said. "And now that she is dead. Poor her." HE added.

I wanted to tell him that she wasn't the only killer, that someone is a killer too, another.

But I don't want to be a killjoy.

I mean, they are having this party, we are having this party becasue we are celebrating the killings ended. I don't want to say that killings are not done.

"Jackson..."He called my anem that makes me look at him and ask him by rasiing my eye brow. "I saw his secret. Austin." He said. "I can'tt believe he did that to you. No wonder why there is always fire between you two." he said. I just smiled and pat his shoulder. "it's been two years." I answered. "But you could've reported it. Why didn't you?" He asks. "I mean, he had and has a lot of victims, I just don't understand why no one reported him. I mean, everyone could've reported him so he won't repeat it. But no one did... Why?" He asks. "Is it the same reason why you didn't report him?" He added that just makes me smile. "No. MYy reason of him not taking him to the custody is a lot different and wasn't connecteed actually to what he did to me." I answer. "he even raped that poor Chase. I mean, he raped 4 men, 7 woman, and out of thos people, no one rported him... How?" He ask himself and look up on to the celing trying to understand the reason.

I mean he is right.

How could no one reported him?

I did not report him becasue I am sure... Well, I thought that he was c and I want his punishment to be on my hands. But everything just edned up after what I did, after I acted like I ma the one who found Chase body. My focus on finding C take a differnt path. I become more obsessed of runnning form my mistakes.

I don't want to bein jail that time so I did everything just to make sure that I won't end up in jail, and in the end, I wasn't even the one who killed him.

If I knew that he is alive when I accidentaly crack his enck, then maybe all of these aren't happening.

Wait a minute. ..

How?

How could someone be so sure that I am the one who killed Chase? When the only thing I did is keep his dead body? I mean, it coulld be C. But... I don't know.

My head hurts.

"What could be your reason?" He ask, and I don't know who is the person he is asking. Himself? Or mYself?

"Are you asking me?" I asks him and he nodded "yeah. Becasue if I was raped, I don't care what people might think. I will report him." he said. "Dint you know that people are just going to laugh at you?" I told him. "What do you mean?" HE said. " Man can't be raped. By girls, or by boys. Becasue poeple knows that the only person, gender that can be raped is girls. That is why they don't care if boys got raped, they would probably just going to say that you are gay for being raped by a mna. No on focuses on that issue." I answered.

He look at me

"f**k them. Man can be raped. They just diidn;t know it, they have no knowledge of it. Becasue it is rare fro a man to be raped. f**k them. If I was rped and they said that I am probably just gay becasue I was raped... I would probably raped them so they would know what it feels like to have that experience. Boys can feel the same pain that girls are having. Boys have feeling too, have emotions too." He said.

Yeah... EH is right.

But this is todays world.

I hope one day, they will understand and see the value of taking this matter so seriously.

"Wait a minute. I just realized it." He said that makes me got his attention. He look at me and smiled. "georgina couldn't post that video because how could she when she knows that Austin isn't really dead..." he said. "That is you isn't it?" He added. "It was you who posted Austin's secret so you could have a revenge..." He now gets it.

I just smiled athim. I did not answer his question directly, but yeah, he is right.

So I could take my revenge towards him.

But look what happened.

He changed into a new better person.

I don't know if it is real, if he really changed, or he is planning so bad to me.

But no, Austin is too dumb to think about that kind of idea.

That is why I know that wasn't Austin's plan at all. I could feel that hre really changed.

I could see it to his eyes.

Becasue you know that you can see someones real emotion or feeling when you look at them through their eyes.

That is why I knew that Austin wanted to change, I could see the sincerity in his eyes yesterday when he was lying down on the hospital bed.

I don't know why, but I kinda feeling happy about it. Because he changed. I never really think of him chaging, I just knew that he is going to be the same who he was.

I mean, no wonder why he changed after Chase died. It has a lot of impact through his life. Chase is the only honest friend he had, the bestfriend that he ahd, a brother... Just like me and Henry...

But I don't get it. Why did Austin raped Chase, but still they ended up being best friend to each oother.

Ive never saw them fight, Ive never saw them had an argument. They are always bond to each other, like they are glued to each other for them not to be separated again.
