22-No More Lies
The group were in pieces, all sat around the main palace living room as usual. They were all thinking, mostly pushing back the anger that was burning inside of them.
"There's no way to settle an argument this big..." Jenifer whispered. She was still very hurt from the day before.
Thomas was out of control. He hadn't even gone home last night, he had stayed out. Jenifer, of course, had, had to go home. She didn't face her parents, though. They had been sat in the living room and she had run straight up the staircase. Facing them was not good for her mood.
"WELL WE CAN'T JUST LET THEM KILL EACH OTHER!" Carmen argued, pacing back and fore like she usually did. It was how she thought up her most cunning plans, how she channeled her anger. It was the easiest way to get therapy in her case.
"Calm down." Drake told her, though his words were not strong enough to do so. "No one's going to kill anyone."
"SAYS YOU!" Carmen yelled. "You have no idea what they are capable of..."
Drake may not have been there for the whole thing, but everyone had told him the story of how it had all gone down. He had to agree that Thomas and Scott both had their fair share of 'whose fault it was' going on. However, neither seemed to want to own up to it being their fault at all.
"Trust me...They won't kill each other if they have really been as close as you say they were."
"It doesn't matter..." Rosie stated, she had given up, leaning backwards against the base of the sofa from her spot on the floor. "Thomas won't listen to reason and Scott's given up hope all together."
It was true. Thomas was too stubborn and Scott had given up, but no one else wanted to give up. Giving up meant that Thomas won, but he would be friendless. Everyone just wanted things back to the way they had been before.
"There has to be something we can do..." Annalise spoke up, her voice shaky from all the talk of the two killing each other. She didn't want to lose either of them for two very different reasons. Scott was her boyfriend, the guy she really liked. Thomas was like her older brother, as protective over her as he was over everyone else in their select group of friends.
"Let them kill each other is not an option anymore." Rachel told everyone. She quite liked sticking up for herself and for the others. Her self-confidence was growing.
"When was it ever an option?" Her twin countered.
"This has just gotten out of control." Tiger mumbled. His eyes were not blinking as they focused on the carpet. He was having a very hard time between trying to help his friends whilst preparing for having a baby. It was very hard for him. "We need to do something."
"This is all Olivia's fault!" Rosalinda snapped. She hated that girl with all her passion, wishing she had killed her that day in the alley instead of just slapping her. "That little bitch has ruined it all!"
Abigail sighed. Rose was right, but there was no point trying to play the blame game now. Everyone played a small part in it and nothing could be done. The past was the past, not even Olivia could fix this mess now. That girl had more than likely already moved onto her new prey as they spoke.
"Cool off a bit, Rose." The teen girl's anger was a bit of a problem. "We know it's Olivia's fault, but what good is she going to do now?" Abigail was right, Olivia was as useless to them as giving up was.
Dallas was happily sunbathing in her front garden, her eyes were shut and her foot was mindlessly pushing the baby on the swing. It was a perfectly sunny day in Scarlatina, like it always was during the Summer.
Thomas cast a shadow, cornering off the sun. Dallas opened one eyes at first, hoping that the sun hadn't actually collapsed and it was just the lug from next door standing over her, like it actually was.
"Does this belong to you?" Thomas asked, holding out a green envelope. Both of Dallas eyes went wide as she scrambled to sit up and steal the envelope away from her friend.
"Where did you get this from?" She quickly snapped, praying that Thomas had not read the letter inside. Of course, that was a long shot. Thomas was quite known for peeking at things he shouldn't have.
"You must have dropped it or something when you moved in." The brunette vampire explained. "I found it in my back yard last night. It was stuck in one of the trees; it must have blown out of one of your boxes or something..."
Now Dallas was even more worried. Thomas was not showing any emotion or indication that he had read it or even knew what it was about. However, she had a very bad feeling that he was waiting for her to make the first move on this one.
"Thomas, I can explain-" But Thomas cut across her.
"Just tell me why you lied." That was all Thomas wanted to know. He had honestly trusted Dallas was everything he had to offer, but she had misjudged his trust in return. "You told me he was your brother..."
Dallas stayed strong, refusing to break down in tears in front of Thomas. She was not the sort of girl who showed her fear or hurt or anger. Dallas preferred to bottle her emotions up and cast them away. Naturally, though, they all ended up flooding back to her in the end.
"I was fifteen, Thomas...I was too young." Thomas couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I thought that...That if you found out, then you wouldn't have wanted anything to do with me, I was scared, Tom, okay? I was scared that if I let you turn your back on me, then I was never going to make any real friends here..."
Thomas shook his head in disbelief. Dallas was a smart and talented girl. She was nowhere near stupid enough to have a child at such a young age. There were far too many things for Thomas to take in at once. The fact that she had lied to him had been bad enough. At least he knew that her advice on his sister had been genuine because she had lived it from the other side of the story herself.
"I am so fed up of everyone lying to me..."
"I didn't do it to hurt you." The teen girl promised. "It's just what I have always told everyone. I didn't know you that well in the beginning...I am so sorry..."
"It's okay." Thomas sighed. "I'm not mad at you." There was just something about Dallas that made him go crazy. He wanted to scream out loud, but melt straight to the floor at the same time. He knew he could trust her with anything, and now she knew the same about him. "I just wish you had told me the truth form the start."
"I will never lie to you ever again, Thomas." Dallas choked out. "I promise you, I won't."
A/N: And so there never were any lies in the town of Scarlatina. Thomas Hudson and Dallas Cecario started a revolution that day. And they all lived happily ever after...
