Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 50

I opened my eyes and found myself lying on a cheap sofa inside a house that I am not used to it. I just laid down there for a long time, thinking a lot of things, processing things that I don't want to process.

The feeling that I ma having right now is unfamiliar.

You know that feeling when you woke up in the morning, finding yourself not in your room? Not in your house?

That is what I am feeling right now.

There are no electricity inside, no stuff, nothing, pure nothing.

Well except for this mattress.

I don't even know why what I'm going to do here in this house, I mean, there is a kitchen counter and some three divided rooms, but there is just nothing inside, no sofa, no tv's, no bed...

I just went to the bathroom, only to realize that there is no water and kitchen stuff here.

"Bloody Hell." Is aid and leave the house immediately.

I had a plan to got to a nearest motel here for me to take some bath and to go to a mall because what's the purpose of having a house if there are nothing inside there.

When I opened my car, I stop moving as I saw the treasure box in my car seat where I am keeping all the money that I have.

I quickly grab it and opened it, but for my surprise, there are no money in there, only a piece of paper with a hand wrting written on it.

Meet me in the woods where you PUT Chase body at midnight if you want to have your money back.

I immediately close the treasure and lok around, hoping that I can see whoever the person who put this inside my car.

But I know who that is, it was C.

It was no other than C because he is the only one who burned my house and get the money that all I needed.

I look up to see my house.

I will never forgive C for burning my hou down. I even still cannot imagine it!

Until I realized something, I mean, all of my billing on my house are still intact, means there are water inside, means I can still go and take a shower inside my house.

I immediately put the treasure back inside my car and walk through the backyard where I can enter from the backdoor.

I opened the gate and the smell of ashes and burnt woods welcomed me as I continue to walk inside my house.

I look around aand they are right, everything is on ashes, my sofa, my stove, the floor, the Tv's and everything.

I look around my house, thinking what it looks like before, before it burnt down.

All the pretty wallpaper, the soft couch that my uncle gave to us, the Tv that my parents bought, and every single details about my house are now only stuck and save dinside my memory.

I walk upstairs form e to take a bath.

As I continue to walk, I can see that the upper part of our house, specially the rooms are not that affected by the fire. That si why my hearts strats beating fast as I hoping a miracle could happen anytime, praying that not all of my clothes are burnt down.

I closes my eyes and touch the door knob of my room, for me not to see what is inside.

I slowly twist the door knob and went inside and as I count to three, I opened my eyes only to find that my room Is pretty fine, except for the floors that have a stain of the ashes form the fire.

I walk up to my closet and opened it and all of my clothes are fine.

"YES!" I shouted and jump for me to celebrate my victory of expectations.

I immediately grab my bag and put all the clothes and other stuff that I can get, the shoes, the blanket, and everything.

While doin that, a picture falls of from one my jacket's pocket.

I bent down to get it and I saw me and henry smiling to the camera.

I slowly look to the jacket that I am holding, and it si the one that Henry bought ot me for my 14th birthday.

Ans as I rmemebr it, my tears keep falling down as the memories kees running back inside of me.

"Henry..." I said. I wanted to apologize but I can't it is too painful for me to watch my best friend getting cuffed down because I blamed him for my sins.

And I felt guilty about it, every single day.

As I put the last thing in the bag form my closet, I notice something that I never notice before.

It's like something is built inside my closet, I can see a big circle bulge on the woods and when I touch it, I can feel something insdie of it...

And I never like this feeling,

This closet of mine is built in with the house, it was never boufght before, I just renovated it since it is too old before, like a.... I don't know, like a chamber or something.

I keep touching and touching it when suddnely my phone rings and when I looked at my phone it was Katharina.

"Where are you?" She asks. "Getting all of my clothes from my house." I answered. "Wait what? I thought they said everything is burnt down?" She asks through phone call. "Well, as I look and explore my house, the only room that wasn't that affected by the fire is my room." I answered. "okay, I'm coming there, I'm at Henry's house, I mean, Henry's front door." She said. "Reallly? Well I have to take a bath first... Can we meet at the Star Diner? I haven't eaten my breakfast yet." I said and she agreed to do it.

She ended the call and I close my closet and went to the bathroom to take a bath...
