Where Your Secrets Hide

SECRET 48

A sound of a bell echoed all over me, as I opened my eyes, I found myself laying down on a white bed in a white room. I look around as I adjusted my sight since it is blurry, when I saw Katharina looking at me.

"Doc! He's awake!" She shouted and ran towards me, asking if I'm alright. "Are you alright? You worried me sick!" She said and she doesn't know if she is going to hug me or just stayed there where she is. I just smiled and I felt the pain on my forehead. I slowly pat mt forehead only to realize that my forehead is covered in this... I don't know, white bandage for injuries?

"What happened?" I ask. "You don't know what happened?" She asks.

I tried to remember and that's when I remembered how I ended up being here in a hospital room.

Henry...

"I-.... Jackson... Your neighbors found you and save you on time." She said and I just smiled for an answer. "They heard you scream, and they thought it was nothing... But then they saw the back of your house smoking, and that's when they knew something is not right, so Mr. Harvard force to cam inside your house, and they found you on the floor, bleeding, while your kitchen is burning." She answered.

My eyes widened after hearing what she said.

"Burning?" I asks and look at her. "My house burned down?" I aasks her. "Not your whole house... But the back of your house burned down." She said. "What?!" I said after hearing the words she dropped.

"How the... How did that happened?" I said until I remembered that I am cooking my dinner when I heard the news about Henry, I passed out while I am freaking cooking my dinner, no wonder why my house burnt down.

But it wasn't my fault, it was the voices in my head, why are they back? Why are they freaking back? I can't understand why are they back, the last time I heard them was 2 years ago, but now they are back...

Like Henry, like Chase, like the red headed gurl, like Jake.

Everyone is back, and I felt like something's not good is going to happen.

And I gotta prepared myself for it, because no one knows what is going to happen, no one knows why something like this is happening...

And why now?

When everything is working perfectly fine for me, when my life changes for good.

"Stay calm alright? The police and the fire fighter are taking care of your house now, they said that there are no valuable things got burned down." She said. "How about in my room? My money? I have money there on my room! Same place to where my kitchen is! If it got burned down, I don't know what to do with myself..." I am worried because that thousands dolllars inside my wardrobe drawer is the only money that I am having right now, it is my money for years, and I ma saving it up for college.

If it happened, I am doomed for life.

"You don't have to wory about the money, the fire didn't spread to your room, only to your kitchen, the police will tlak to you later, ask you questions about it." She said.

I smiled at her.

I don't deserve her, she is a better person than me, she deserves someone who is richer than me, handsome than me....

But you know what/ Even though she deserves someone, I will never let her go, because I have her now, it is hard to ffind a girl like Katharina.

"Hey babe." I called her and she looked at me. "Thank you..." I said and give her a sign that I want too kiss her so she walked towards be and she kissed my lips. "I can' live without you." I said. "Please never disappear to me. I don't know what I can do if you afre gone." I said and she nodded and giggles. "I won't go anywhere. I will stay here on your side, even in our last breathe." She said.

"I hope our last breathe will take too long." I jokingly said and kiss her again.

The door opened and the police went inside the room.

"Oh we are sorry to interrupt." They said. "Oh no sorry." She said and the police look at me. "We just want to ask question about what happened." And they said and I nodded. "Can you tell us how you ended up being collapse?" They asks.

I don't kow if I ma going to tell them the truth, but I know they wont believe me since it is a ghost story, and no one believes in supernatural nowadays, so all I have to do is lie.

"I drop my knife on the ground and.... I can't really remmeebr why I collapsed." I said. "I think I just fainted and didin't even notice that I am holding a knife." I added and they are just nodded.

"We are sorry to hear about your house." They said and I got confuse. "What do you mean sorry about my house?" I asks them. And the police look to each other, there are tree police officer here, so I couldn't really tell what is happening. "We couldn't save anything from inside, I think the fire spread faster." Theys aid.

What?

What do they mean burnt down?

Is Kathairna lying to me?

"But I thought the fire spread only in the kitchen? Why the house got burned down?" Kathairna said. "That is what we are trying to investigate, it looks like the fire started intentionally. Since we never saw the source of the fire. And the fire that they are saying started from the kitchen, looks like only burned the part of the kitchen but the whole house... It looks like someone wanted the house to be burned down." They said. "Does that mean that I lost my house?" I ask them.

And hey all nodded.

"What??" I said and I didin't realize that my tears starts to fall on my cheeks from my eyes. "You don't have to worry. When we found that the house was burned intentionally, you will be given a house, a same amount to your current, but if we saw that you are the one who started it, we sorry but to tell you that you have to go back home where you belong." Theys aid. "There is a camera in front of our street!" I said. "That's what we are trying to uncover, because the cctv footage looks like were deleted." They said. "Ha hows that possible? How is that even possible! Who wanted to try to burn my house? How??" I said and my tears didn't stop from falling.

Who wanted to do this to me? And why? Isn't this so much cruel fro a revenge? Is this all c doing? Why the hell C wants to do this to me? What is he really want? What does he want from me? Why is he doing this to me? What did I do to him? This is too much! I cannot believe him!

And I will swear to this day, I will never ever let C come to my life and destroy what was mine, I will kill him, once I found him, I will torture him like what he is doing!

And if the ghost is his cause too, I will double kill him and I will promise to never let him go ever again!

"Where am I going to live now?" I asks them. "From searching your history, we found out that the house of the Caliesto was signed by your uncle that if something bad happened to you, you will live there, with them." The police said and walk towards us and gave me a contract, a signed agreement from my uncle from the Caliesto family.

What?

Why didn't I know about this?

"But it was written here that it needs to have a mconfirmation from one of the Caliesto family. Henry's mother and brother are now gone, they moved away from here." I said. "Detective Portman Caliesto agreed." They said. "Mr. Portman?" I asks and they nodded. "What about Henry? I heard the news that he will be release tomorrow for Chase murder since the evidence wasn't enough for him to kill Cahhse." I said and Ktahirna look at me, like she doesn't have any clue about it. "Henry will be release tomorrow? I thought tomorrow is his trial? She asked. "About Henry Caliesto. You will be living with him to his house since he can't leave because there are an investigation that are still happening for Chase murder case."

Oh s**t.

I will be living with the person who I blamed for Chase Murder.

"All I wanted to say is that, I will never forgive the person who put me in this situation, even if he is a family, a neighbor, or a friend. Because I suffer and lost 2 years of my life because of this accusation that has been made. And after I got released tomorrow, I will swear that I will not waste any of my time again, and I will find the killer myself."

I remembered what he said on the news.

Oh Henry, I will be dead after you.
