Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 9

I am still talking about the day after Chase car had been found. I am not going anywhere because something happened that time, that day, that week that change the whole school, the whole town forever.

Specially me...

The clock is ticking, the sound of a pen banging to a table, the sound of a shoes that tapping the floor of the room, the whispers that my classmate are having, and the sound pf my heartbeat. That is all the sound to tell that something bad is going to happen.

Suddenly it all stop after the bell ring.

I stood up and put my bag on my shoulder and walk out.

I didn't say goodbye to the teacher and to Henry, because how could this be a good day if my Uncle's whole family is coming tomorrow morning and a dead body is still hiding in my closet.

It's been exactly 6 days since that Game night, since the day I punish myself, well not only me but Henry and Chase too.

I have to go home early to hide the body. I don't care if the schedule of my plan will be wrecked or be mess up, but schedule isn't so important than my life.

I don't wanna go to jail.

Before I got out of the Campus, someone hold my shoulder that stop me from walking. I look to the person who belongs this hand that is holding my shoulder. "Austin?" I said his name in confusion. "Are you not going?" He asks.

My eyebrow touch each other because of confusion.

"You didn't know it? Damn Austin he didn't know what the football team are gonna do." Fernando said, one of the football player.

After he said that, their other friend laugh.

"Shut up guys, you're scaring the kid." Austin said to his team mate or friends. Everyone stop laughing after that. Austin look back to me and smiled. "Me and the teammates are going to find Chase near the cliff since that is where his car was found six days ago." Austin said.

I just smiled at them and look to Austin.

"I can't I'm sorry. I have to go home early." I said. But before I make my exit, his friend block my way. "You are going with us. You are his tutor, close friend of his, be responsible for that role." Austin said.

I said I don't want to go.

I face him and I smiled, fakely.

"If you have nothing to hide... Come and help us find Chase." Austin said. After he said that, I felt guilty for what I did.

Like what he said, I am responsible for everything.

Of course I am too dumb and stupid for that thing.

I thought that time, that they are sincere...

But, they are still asshole.

We ride Kol's van with the other football player to go to the cliff. They are just all having conversation like a normal bro talk.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Austin ask me. I look to him with an answer on my mouth. "No."

I felt like something is wrong...

I look around, Henry isn't here. HE supposed to be here because he is the captain of the team. "Henry is waiting for us there. If he is what you're looking for." Austin said without even hearing me asking if where is Henry.

I look to my phone when it vibrated.

It was from Henry, asking if where am I.

'I'm with your team.'

I responded.

The van stop and the doors are opening. The player went outside, so did I.

The sky is purple, means the night is approaching.

Why do we have to look for Chase at night, when there is tomorrow morning?

They start walking so I just start following them when we stop into a small cabin.

"Where are we? Why did we stop in a cabin? And where is Henry?" I ask Austin. "You really are a curious guy is it? We stop in the cabin because that's where our flashlight and water is, and I don't know if Henry already got here." Austin answered.

I just nodded and went inside the cabin to get my flashlight and water when my phone vibrated again.

I put down my flashlight to get my phone and I was confuse when he texted me why.

When someone pushes me down and hold my shoulder and arms down.

They kneeled me down forcely.

I heard the guys laughing.

"What the f**k is going on?" I shouted.

Austin walk in front of me shirtless with Fernando and West. I was so confuse on what is happening, on what is going on.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask them when suddenly Fernando run to me and lick my face and West kiss my lips. I tried to fight back but there are four guys holding me down so I couldn't move.

"This is what you want huh? Guys? The football player?" Austin ask with his loud voice. Fernando and West stop licking my face and Austin start rubbing his bulge to my face. He keeps doing it and I just heard the guys moaning while laughing.

"You think we didn't know what you were doing to our guy? What you're doing to Chase?" I heard Austin said.

He stop rubbing his bulge to me and he kneeled down.

He hold my cheek and force me to look at him. I can see his angry eyes. His eyes is teary but he did not want to let his tears go down.

"Why are you crying? You want this right? All gay want this right!" He said. "If it isn't because of the relationship that both of you developed, maybe Chase is not dead or missing!" He yelled to my face.

I can't stop crying, I just can't

I am too guilty for it.

"What do you mean?" But even though I am crying, I ask him that question. Do they know that I am the one who killed their friend? "Before the game night, Chase told us about you two. And after that, he did not show up to the game. And it is because of you! We fight about it, we fight about the relationship that you had! You did not only destroy Chase and Sarah's engagement but also Chase life!"

Sarah is engage with Chase?

"So no wonder why you killed him." Fernando said. I look to him. "You forced him to have s*x with you, even before the game, you are with him, and when the car fall, you escaped and leave Chase there!" West said. "You think we did not know that your old phone was found inside his car?" Austin continued.

"How did you know it was my phone?" I ask them. They look at each other and smiled. "So you admit it? You are with him the night he went missing?" Austin ask me. "He did not need to answer that, because obviously, he is with him." West said. "I noticed that you had a new phone just after the game night, and I remember that phone when you used it to took us a photo." Austin said. "How did you even know there was a phone in Chase car?" I ask them. "I ask my dad to look at Chase missing case, and he told me about your phone." He said.

I did not know that I am not smart enough about to cover up about my phone, I even forgot about the phone...

You are stupid Jackson.

Austin stood up and look to his friend. They all nodded.

Fernando and West walk towards me to hold me down while the four football player went outside the cabin and lock it.

I look to the three of them with my scared eyes.

"What are you-" I did not finish the words I am going to say when West covered my mouth with a scarf.

"Are we sure about this?" I heard Fernando asks. "This is the only punishment he is gonna get for having s*x with our bestfriend."

And that iw when I realized what are they going to do.

They tie both off my arms and legs and force me to lay down on the ground. They even ripped my shirt and pull down my pants.

And that is when the three of them raped me.

It hurts. Three jock raped me.

That is when I realized that, that moment, that is when I lost my soul.

They made me a pig!

And I will never forgive them for what they did to me!

Never!

Even if they die...

I want this to end, I want them to die..
