Chapter 6
"What the hell?" Atticus bellowed out.
"Try fast forwarding the tape." Syrus suggested. Atticus did so, but still no sound came out of the cartridge.
"I realized something." Jaden said.
"What?" Chazz asked looking at the brunette. The others were looking at him as well.
"When we were listening to Bastion's tape, Alexis said he was in the Society of Light, but I don't remember that." Jaden replied.
"Yeah, I was wondering about that." Syrus said, putting his right pointer finger on his chin.
"So he kept something from us, it's not like the world is going to end." Atticus said. His eyes remained on the cassette player.
"I didn't see him there when I was in it." Chazz said.
"He probably got in when you got out." Zane said. "Sartorius lost one person, so he added another. It's not that hard to figure out."
"Why don't you guys care that he hid that from us?" Syrus asked.
"I am more curious about the tapes than Bastion's life, Syrus." Zane responded. Atticus nodded his head in agreement. Still no sound came from the cartridge.
"Why is it because it is from Alexis?" Syrus asked.
"No, it's because she killed herself. These tapes are the only way we know the reason why she killed herself." Atticus responded.
"It's all over the school though." Syrus said.
"We want to know the real reason. And the only one who knows it is the one who made the tapes." Zane responded again. Finally, they heard a sound.
Shh!
Shh!
Stay quiet. It is important to not let anyone hear. Sometimes it is a life or death situation. Other times it can save your hide. I am in one of those 'I don't want to get caught' situations right now. So shh!
Alexis was whispering the whole time. Her breathing was leveled, but barely audible. Everyone was confused. No sound again, just silence. A few minutes later Alexis spoke again.
You guys must be wondering where I am. Well, I am outside the boys' dormitory. I am on a tree branch hiding behind the leaves and trunk. I have to stay quiet so none of the guys hear me. This is risking expulsion, but that is not why I am hiding. I am hiding because I want to know what it was like to be a peeping tom.
"What?" Atticus screamed. He was shocked. "Of all the things she is curious about. She is curious about that?"
"What is a peeping tom anyway?" Jaden asked.
"It's someone who stares at people while they are undressing." Bastion said. He gave Jaden the better known term for the word.
You must be wondering why I want to know what that was like. Well, I want to know what it feels like to invade someone's privacy, just like someone did to me. Don't act like you didn't do it Jesse Anderson. I know it was you. So can you guess where I am, Jesse? That's right outside your room, waiting for you to get back. You must have quite a bit of stamina to be able to wait outside my room that long. It is quite boring as well. Maybe it is only because you haven't shown up yet.
Do you want to know how I know it was you, Jesse? Well I will tell you.
Atticus's left eye was twitching madly.
"There are going to be a few people missing at the school…" Zane murmured quietly.
"Why?" Jaden asked.
"Atticus." Zane said.
At first, I didn't know who it was. I was actually kind of scared. I just got back into my dorm after walking around the island and I was tired. I decided to lie down on my bed—that happened to be right under the window—and I heard a noise. That terrified me. But I figured maybe it was my imagination. Then, I heard clicking sounds. It only happened every few minutes, but it made me even more craven. You must have had to be on your tip toes to get any pictures because my brother—after finding out that I liked to sleep with my blinds cracked open just slightly so I can see the stars—checked if anyone could see me with my blinds like that. No one could, unless they were standing on the tree on their tip-toes. Kudos for your stamina by the way, it must have been hard to do that for so long.
Shh!
Alexis went quiet after that. They heard nothing from her for another five minutes.
"Why is she quiet?" Syrus asked out loud.
Jaden shrugged. "I don't know, Sy."
Guess what, Jesse, your roommate came back. Unlike me, you have your blinds wide open. I have a pretty good view of your room. It is quiet messy. He's taking off his shirt and I start to wonder if I should give him a little scare. But I decided against it. It wasn't him who I was doing this to. It was you. He's pretty well built, but I have seen much better. This isn't exactly what I thought would make this appeal to me. However, I do see why you spied on me. The idea of getting caught is terrifying but so tempting. My adrenaline is rushing through my veins…I am excited. The only thing I don't get is why did you spy on me.
Well I guess I should tell you how I found out it happened to be you spying on me. I wasn't going to tell my brother, no way. So I told someone who was known to be sympathetic around the school. I won't mention her name. I did tell her though, and her answer freaked me out.
"That sounds sexy. Tell me next time he is spying on you." She said.
"How about you spend the night this Friday, maybe he will come." I told her. She agreed and we began to develop a plan on how to catch you. The plan had flaws, a lot of them. But we made it work to our advantage.
"I wonder who the girl is." Jaden pondered aloud.
"Maybe she will tell us sometime during the tape." Syrus assumed.
I was shocked by the girl's response when she told me that it sounded sexy. I was freaked out by it. I won't mention the girl's name, but you will find out the girl's identity later on in my tale. Oh, also, look on your map at D-7.
Syrus did so. Chazz, Jaden, Atticus, and even Zane were crowded around him looking at the map. D-7 was Alexis's dorm room.
My dorm room was where me and the girl found out it was you, Jesse, that was my peeping tom. I have to admit that since our plan didn't go the way we intended we had to improvise. Well, that improvising caused us to figure out it was you. I was extremely uncomfortable with what happened, but I wanted to figure out who it was that was spying on me. I needed to know who the person who took my privacy away from me was.
I remember what happened extremely clearly. We were waiting for you to come. And when you did, we pretended you never existed. We did all the stupid things girls do at slumber parties: truth or dare would you rather, this or that, pillow fights, talk about boys, and more. But, I guess you started to get bored since neither of us was undressing. We thought you were about to leave.
But then the girl got a crazy idea. She wanted to have a back rub, with me sitting on her lower back. She said it sounded erotic and it would surely keep you there. I complied, only because I wanted to know who had the nerve to steal the only place I thought I had left that was considered mine. Mine to sleep in, mine to live in, and mine to cry in. It was my only safe place. My only real comfort zone and you took that away from me. That is why you are on this list, Jesse.
Atticus took in a deep breath. He couldn't even believe what he was hearing. His sister, his darling sister, felt she had no place to go to when she need it. That she had no area that could provide her comfort. He was there all along. All she had to do was come to him…but she didn't. He didn't understand why she didn't attempt to reach out for help.
"Why, Lex, why didn't you reach out to one of us?" Atticus murmured.
The other boys shook their heads. They didn't know why and they felt no need to respond to his question.
Well I agreed to her suggestion of an erotic back rub—a girl on top of a girl rubbing her back so tentatively that the one who is massaged moans out in pleasure…yeah that sounds erotic. I could see how it could turn you on. I asked her to get the lotion from my top desk drawer. She did, but she did add a little twist.
"Oh my god, Alexis, who knew you were into this kind of stuff?" She said moving around some random stuff in my desk drawer. "How many do you have? There's one, two, three…seven." She giggled. We heard a few more snaps.
I was shocked. I wanted to reply that it was nothing, because really it was. The only thing I had in that drawer was some tape, lotion, pencils, pencil sharpener, a calculator, and some pens. But she pretended it was some sex toys.
"Oh my god," Atticus said. "Sex toys, seriously?"
Zane chuckled at the idea of Alexis using a sex toy. She was way too innocent to even know where to buy one at. He suddenly felt bad. He missed Alexis.
I was shocked that you actually bought that it was sex toys in my desk drawer. I mean honestly? I don't own a single one, if I was a live I would swear on my deck. We didn't hear any clicking, so we wondered if you left. Well, I wondered if you left.
"You know, when a peeping tom gets quiet it means he's…you know." She giggled.
Being my natural, prude self I didn't know what she was talking about. "What?" I asked.
"He's jacking off." She explained to me. I paled. I did not need to know that. In fact I think it scarred my mind. "Ew," that was all I said.
"Let's find out!" Damn, that girl would not give up. I was diffidently thinking that whoever said she was sweet and innocent was dead wrong.
"Who the hell is this girl?" Chazz growled out. He was extremely curious about who this girl was.
Zane nodded his head in agreement. He was also inquisitive about who this mysterious girl was.
Well, we did find out. She was right, you were busy…tending to the rocket in your pants. Luckily I only saw your face. She was the one who screamed—well said in a loud voice. "OH MY GOD, HE IS DOING IT!"
She was quiet again. No sound came out of the tape player. It was just static.
"What happened?" Syrus asked.
"Do we look like we know?" Chazz snapped.
"I was just asking!" Syrus growled out.
"Chill, Sy." Jaden said. "He is just cranky because he wants to finish listening to the tapes but there is no sound to it."
Atticus wanted to say his little sister's name so badly. He wanted to talk to her, to hold her, to tell her that he loved her and that everything would be okay. But he can't and it is partially his fault. If he was there for her, then she wouldn't have killed herself. He really missed her. But she is dead, and she isn't coming back.
Shh!
It's time for quiet again. You finally reached your dorm, Jesse. I have to stay really quiet. I don't want you, my target, to find out my location. However, giving you a scare isn't far out of my mind. After all, you scared me. I think I should return the favor. I already saw your room, I saw your roommate, and now I see you. I lost my thrill of peeping. So now I am going to go.
The boys heard a tap come from the tape.
"I guess decided to scare him." Jaden murmured. The other males nodded.
You stole my privacy, so now I stole yours. Stick around to listen, Jesse, because you are in another one of theses tapes, and you play a big role in it. Insert tape three to hear the next tale.
Okay thanks for all who reviewed for the last chapter. I hoped this chapter appeased your curiosity. Please review! :D
