Wayna look at kinto with such anger as she pushes him off her. "Get off me kinto!" Wayna said to him enrage. Kinto then came off of her not backing down but letting her up.
"What the hell Wayna! We were only supposed to beat them up! Not kill them!" Kinto yelled in frenzy at her. Ron and Mon watch from the corner with the man Wayna almost killed. "Killing someone was not part of the plan."
"Why are you protecting him?" Wayna shot at him. "When he's one of the ones who did this to us! The ones who destroy everything we ever had!"
"Because you can go down for life!" He screams at her.
"I don't care!" Wayna yelled back and then in a growling tone. "Out of my way, KINTO!"
"ENOUGH! Wayna GO HOME!" He yelled at her in his most severe tone of voice ever. A voice saying he meant business and if it came down to it he will fight her.
Wayna eyes were wide with rage. "Ugh!" Wayna scream in frustration and walk off from them. Wayna wasn't scared of kinto but this is one thing she didn't want to lose her friend over. No matter how much she wanted those men to suffer.
Kinto then watch her walk off with a serous face and then sigh. He had just figured what was wrong with Wayna for the past few days. She was hurt. Wayna was hurting and she wasn't showing it.
He then went over to the man who was on the ground, with his twin brothers guarding him. He had a real fine mess to clean up and it didn't help that there leader was having a fit.
As Wayna walk it began to rain. As she walks in the rain the memories of Creep suppose death came back to her back.
It all happens on a night like this. Creep was so accepting of her and her ability not to talk. All he wanted to do was play and have adventures. He kept playing and run around with her. He would stand up for her along with kinto and Wayna was proud to follow him everywhere. These were her brighter days.
She wanted to be the best dam worker he ever had. When she grew up she wanted to be his main person he could count on. Too bad the future isn't promises to anyone.
Creep was walking in the street with a hoodie on. He was just walking around the neighborhood. To anyone else the neighborhood was pretty and nice to live in. For some reason it didn't feel that way to Creep. It was missing something. Creep watch as he saw Kinto with his twin little brothers along with Kate and Bradie. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he saw them talking.
"So you guys were able to get them to a clinic?" Kate asks them.
"Yeah we had to pay them off not to talk." Kinto said to them with his hand in his pocket.
"They took the money?" Bradie said in a very low worry voice.
"Well they didn't go with it at first." Ron said with an evil smile. "You have to remember they are the ones who attack us. So we black mail them."
"Also they are on the run from the police in Miami Everglades." Mon said with the same evil smirk under the umbrella with his twin. "It turns out Crates not protecting his men for crimes. Things have really shot to hell there."
"So they took the money seeing it was there only option." Kinto said in a low tone.
"That good." Bradie said softly as she watches the rain fall from under her umbrella. "I don't want Wayna in trouble."
Creep then walks up to them in hopes he could talk to them about Wayna. "Hey guys." Creep said to them as he stood there in the rain. "I got to ask a question. Can you tell me what wrong with Wayna?"
"I think we told you everything that happens in Everglades and the condition your mother, father and brother are in." Kinto said to him calmly.
"Yeah about that, you still didn't tell me why you guys are here or why Wayna been avoiding me. I know we had a fight and all but usually she comes around by now."
"Man isn't you blind." Ron and Mon said.
"Blind what do you mean?" Creep said confuse. "I'm the one who lost everything! I'm the one whose brother in a coma and dad in jail for something he didn't do!"
"You clearly don't see her suffering." Kinto spoke with a serious face.
"Oh yeah what could she could possibly have gone thru to be so bad!?" Creep now said angry.
Bradie then look serous. Her usually soft innocent expression now shows a hard cold one. As the rain matches her mood she spoke an ever so soft hurt cold tone. Her long brown hair elegantly flows in the wind. "How about suffering third degree burns saving your brother?"
Creep then look shock. "What? She doesn't have any burn scars?"
"Thanks to the doctors and the creams they gave her, she was able to heal without any scars." Kate said feeling sorry for him. She hopes he would see.
"But she never said…. Why would she agree with me then…." Creep said in confusion, demanding they tell him.
"Creep after you left and ran away, things went downhill in Everglades. Crate went to power in your fathers business right away. He join drug dealers and demand that our dad's work for him. When our dad wouldn't he try to have Me, Wayna, Ron and Mon killed." Kinto said to him as he looks at him with gravity of anger and truth. "Those who stood in his way he had killed, he had crooked cops working for him and all. We were only able to stay a few years before we were driven out."
"When our families wouldn't bind for him or work the business. They were going to massacre us." Kate said to him softly. "We had to leave all we had behind and escape on a train with nothing but the cloths on our backs."
"She didn't-"Creep said trying to talk but was cut off by kinto.
"The reason why Wayna didn't show any emotion of sadness or lost was because our family's left Everglades with nothing. Our mothers and fathers were stress out. So Wayna took the ring and brought hope to us. Even though she had none. She was being strong for us." Kinto said to him. "That's why she's leader."
Bradie then step forward as her brown hair flow in the wind of the rain under her umbrella. Her face holding a serous sad expression of disbelief ever so softly. "Did you honest believe she felt nothing? After she witnesses the one's she loved death and yours. As she stood in flames looking for you and dragging out Haru. She was ready to go back into that Inferno. Just for you. Do you honestly believe she felt nothing? Do you honestly believe she feels nothing right now as days go by knowing your alive. Do you honestly believe she feels no guilt from not telling your suffering mother you're alive? Do you honestly believe she feels nothing, having to carry that guilt that it's all her fault all this time?" Creep was wide eye as Bradie spoke. "Do you honestly believe she felt nothing? How could any human being feel nothing thru that?"
Creep then turn and run in search for Wayna. 'How could I be so stupid?' Creep thought to himself.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. Mr. Crate came running thru the door in our house. Ms. Thala and Mr. Crease were inside our house just picking something up from my dad. We all in a jolt when he told us what happen. I felt like my heart drop. Before Mr. Crate could finish his sentence I was already out the door ruining as far as my legs could carry me. I heard my mother try to get me back inside. I could see the house on fire and it made my heart break.
All I could think about was the two people I love was leaving me. The two people who accepted and love me for who I was. I watch as the house went up in flames. It seems no matter how much I run, I could not get closer. No matter how much I run. I finally made it to the house. I saw a crack of wood but I risk flames but I went into it. I yelp in pain and my hands were burn. To me it didn't matter. I look around and saw Haru on the floor with a red jacket on. I went to him now with burns on my legs and arms. I look around for Creep.
The flames were getting worse and I had to drag Haru out. When I drag him out the house the firefighters had arrive. They took him from me and Ms. Thala went to her son side on the stretcher with tears in her eyes. "Where's Creep! Creep!" she screams out. Before anyone could take me I turn and ran determine to find creep. I was stop by the firefighter. I wanted to so bad scream but I just couldn't.
Mr. Crease and everyone were in shock of horror of it all. I was taken to the hospital to treat my third degree burns on my hands, arms and legs. Because I was struggling they had to sedate me. The next day I left the house without my family knowing and went to Mr. Crease house. The house was completely destroyed. I stood in the ashes of the house and had tears going down my face as I look around. It was my job to protect them. I was supposed to protect my friends and I fail. My other friends came around the corner as if they were looking for me but stop seeing the look on my broken face.
The face of morning and grief. My dad came around the corner and look at me seeing how hurt I was. He had pity in his eyes as he slowly walk over and pick me up. It was at that moment that I truly knew he was my father and that I loved him. I knew then what a family meant.
"Shuss." He said holding me as I cried on his shoulder. "Shuss….It's going to be ok…..everything going to be just fine" He told me. In the ashes I could see a somewhat burnt photo of Creep and Haru. From the other corner of my eyes I saw a car with Mr. Crate in it with Officer Kahamu in it. They had evil smiles on their faces. I wanted nothing more than to see them dead. I look at them angrily with tears in my eyes as my dad held me. Later that day Mr. Crease was arrested accuses of his own son murder and everyone was surprise but I didn't believe it. Neither did our fathers.
Creep now ran in the pouring rain as he thought about Wayna and how much he has wrong her. "How could I've been so blind? Even if I didn't know what happen to her. The loss of me and Haru must have hit her hard. Of course Wayna had feelings. How could have I blame her! It was never her fault! It was mine and yet she stood by me. How could any being feel nothing at all?"
Creep stop at a clearing of the park. Wayna was on a statue sitting at the base of it with her legs up and arms resting on it.
Tears were flowing like rivers down her face with an empty hurt look. The pouring rain hid her tear soaked face. Creep walk up to her shaking and fell on his knees putting his hands on her stomach, looking her in her eyes embracing her.
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry. I'm sorry." Creep cried as Wayna just sat there.
