Ulrich's Secret
Chapter 3
As Ulrich walked into the cafeteria, he noticed his friends waving at him from across the room. HE walked over to them with his hands jammed in his pockets. He sat down at the table. Odd then opened his mouth to ask Ulrich what was up, when Ulrich started talking.
"I suppose you want to know what's going on eh?"
The group nodded their heads.
"Well if you really want to know. My brother and I don't really get along that well.
"Ulrich! That's normal. Hiroki bothers me all the time. One minute we're getting along, the next we hate each other." Said Yumi.
"Did your brother ever try to kill! Huh, huh. Did he?" responed Ulrich.
The group looked at him in shock. Then Odd burst out laughing.
"Come with me." Sid Ulrich, grabbing Yumi by the hand. "You promise you won't tell anyone about what I'm about to show you?"
"Of course." Replied Yumi.
Ulrich then lifted up his shirt so Yumi could see the scar. He heard and intake of breath from Yumi, as she stared at the pinkish scar. The real scary part was that through the skin she could see his heart beating. Yumi then gently laid her hand on the scar. She could feel his heart right through the thin layer of skin. She backed away and Ulrich pulled his shirt down.
"Ulrich. How?"
"My brother." He responded.
"your brother?'
He nodded and started to walk away. She then put her hand on his shoulder.
"What happened Ulrich?"
"Well, if you really want to know i'll tell you."
He then told Yumi about how his brother had become violent and attacked him. When he was finished Yumi had tears in her eyes.
"Oh Ulrich! You don't have to keep this from us, or anyone. Just tell me one thing. If your brother tried to kill you, why are your parents sending him out here to see you?"
"My parents can't control him. So they're shipping him out here to see if i can make him see the light. We used to be real close. That is untill he started drinking. They think i can help him."
"What if he attacks you again? I couldn't stand loseing you."
"What? What did you say Yumi?"
"Oh, uh, nothing." Did I say that outloud? Aw man what a mess.
