Hey it`s been a long time and I aplogize for that. I had a really stressful couple of months, plus I`m still in process with my life. Now my internet is crappy and it`s going to be harder for me to post but I`ll manage. Anyway I almost lost the motivation to finish writing this story, but two more people wanted me to keep going. So that pumped me up, I was going to do 3 chapters but I don`t feel good. So only two. Alright I do NOT own Dance Central, Harmonix, or YOU! So please enjoy!
The concerned blonde held onto his sister`s weak hands, and kept whispering her name. "K-kerith…" She whispered. He looked up at his sister with worried eyes replying.
"Yes, Jaryn?"
"I need…"
"What? What do you need?"
"I need…"
"Jaryn?"
"Some vodka."
"What?!"
Kerith stood up and looked at her with rage blazing in his eyes, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. His sister sat up and looked at him, but then she started to laugh. Her laugh was loud as she started to fix her hair, and then she stood up and started to look at her brother`s hideous outfit. She tugged on the collar of his shirt and giggled, "Well, look at this. Well Kerith I must say I am very disappointed at you, for two reasons. One is because you actually believed that I was hurt, you should know that no one hurts me. I hurt people! Second you are wearing the ugliest outfit I have ever seen. Plus this hair, so nasty and sticky, why is it gelled up? Ew!"
Kerith pulled his sister`s hand away from his collar and glared at her, and she raised an eyebrow thinking her little brother was actually going to do something. Instead Kerith grabbed his keys and headed for the door, he ignored his sister`s call. Once he reached the door he looked at his sister with a look of disgust, "For a second there Jaryn, I really did think that you were hurt. But I keep forgetting that you`re still the same heartless person as before." The younger boy spat out as he walked out the house. As he was closing the door he could hear his sister clapping her hands, he rolled his eyes and hopped in his car. He was trying to calm himself down, but for some reason he couldn't.
He didn't really understand on why he was so upset, it was a typical Jaryn move. Except she never went that far, to look as if something was wrong with her. To look so weak and fragile, it crushed Kerith, but turns out she was just messing with him. He shook his head and realize that there were another problem at the moment, he had to rush back to Derreck`s apartment to see if you were okay. He turned on the car and drove off trying to hurry to see you.
Meanwhile
You broke away from Derreck`s warm hug and just sat there staring the floor, the tan boy stood up and stretched. "Do you want something to drink? We have soda, water, juice, and some alcohol. If you`re legal that is." You started to giggle and you looked at him with a smirk. "I am 21, but may I have some water please?" You said. The man nodded his head and dug into the refrigerator for a bottle water, once he pulled it out he tossed it at you, and you happily caught it. Suddenly Derreck plopped onto the couch and turned on the TV, and looked at you signaling you to come chill out.
You awkwardly walk to couch and sit down drinking the cold water, it was a long silence that made you feel uncomfortable. But then you`re eyes looked up to the TV show that was showing this B-boy crew dancing, they were popping and locking, and doing unique things. Derreck glanced at you and asked, "I`m sorry, do you want me to change the channel?" You shook your head and just watched the show in confusion but in awe. "How are they dancing like this? Not that I`m interested or anything but it`s weird." Derreck busted out laughing and you looked at him with a confused look.
"That`s how my crew dances, but it`s quite common. Geez what made you hate dancing? You know, I don't have to know. It`s none of my business." He covered his mouth to not show his smirk. You turned your head and just kept watching the show not even questioning on how they were able to dance like that. Suddenly you hear a knock on the door and a very familiar voice calling out, Derreck hopped up and walked to door unlocking it. He opened it to see Kerith standing there, you tried to peek around Derreck`s talk body and you saw who it was. But he seemed somewhat different, he looked as if he was ready to murder somebody or something. He then marched into the apartment looking around until he locked his grey eyes with you (e/c), and jogged towards you.
"Are you okay? What`s wrong? What happened? Who do I need to punch?"
"Kerith calm down, I think I got most of it solved." Derreck said.
"Well, what was the problem?"
"Well, from what I`m getting. Emilia was her best friend but found she has been lied to her whole life. And seems very much hurt."
"That`s it?"
"I think so."
"No. It`s not. There is so much more." You said.
Kerith and Derreck looked at each other and then they both hopped onto the couch and stared at you, hopefully to get the whole story of what happened. You sighed and took another sip of water and started to speak, "Well, it`s a long story, and I have to explain from the very beginning for you to understand. You see my mom was married to this man named Edward, and he was a really nice. And he loved her deeply and at one point my mom worked at this super nice company. And the boss`s name was Greg, and he fell in love with my mom. He would always try to flirt with her, and try to ask her on dates, but she would reject him. She would always say that she was married, and for some reason he wouldn't get that through that thick skull of his. So one night when my mom had to work super late he waited for her, and soon offered her a drink. She of course said yes and drank it, the drink wasn't suppose to make her pass out. It was suppose to make it easier for her to sleep with him. And that`s what happened, two weeks later my mom became pregnant with me. She knew who`s baby it was, and told Edward. Was he mad? No he understood and told her it wasn't her fault, and that he would raise me as if I was his own child. So later on she got bigger and bigger, and Greg decided to ask her if that baby was his. She glared at him and told him yes but that he wasn't allowed to see me. Of course he was very angry, but thought she was pulling his leg. Until I was born, and she left the company and went to a new one, and would avoid Greg. He was so angry, so frustrated with everything, and then the one day my mom was at work and Edward was at home with me. I was 7 years old at that time, then the worse thing happened." You paused as you choked on your words.
Kerith put his hand on your back and rubbed it softly as you were about to cry, but took a breath and continued the story. "He broke into the house, and my dad thought it was burglar and he told me to hide into the hall closet. So that`s what I did, but I kept it cracked so I could watch him. Greg shot Edward and then brutally stabbed him, killing him. He then walked into the kitchen and saw that my dad had put some food in the oven, and smiled to himself. He was going to let that be the cause, and poured gasoline all over the house. When he got back to my dad he poured the rest of the gasoline on him, and he looked up and saw my in the closet. He walked towards me and said that if I ever told anybody what I saw then he would kill me. Then he lit the house on fire and carried me out to make it seem as if he was the hero. And everybody bought it, even my mom. She thanked him a thousand times for saving me but cried for days because of the death of her husband. So in the end the story was that Edward left the food in the oven for too long and it started a fire, and died from it but I was saved by Greg who just so happened to be in the neighborhood. That man… I don't care if he is my real father, he murdered the man who treated and acted like a father. And now he is now acting buddy buddy with her, and trying to let him back into my life. Yet she doesn't know the truth to anything and I can`t tell her because I fear death. At one point she started having pictures of him around the house and letting him the house for lunch. But tonight he wanted to talk to me, to get to know me. Even though he knows what I saw. So that`s why I`m so upset. Whenever I see, that horrible memory would come back. It would haunt me so much, that I would push people out of my life. I even stopped taking dance class whenever my mom said that Greg would pay for it, and when he would come to see me dance. Which is one reason I started to hate dance more and more, because it would remind me of his face… I`m sorry I`m rambling." You finished talking and kept drinking water.
The room fell silent as your eyes fell to the floor to avoid any eye contact, you honestly don't want their sympathy. She just had to explain the situation so they would understand, I mean you trust them enough to tell them… Trust? Do you really trust them? Yeah, for some reason you can trust Oblio, Kerith, and even Derreck. Who cares if you just met them? They did so much for you to the point that you can trust them, you looked back up to see Kerith with this sad look. He then grabbed your arm and pulled you into this big warm hug, you sighed and hugged him back.
To be Continued…
Woo! That was a lot of explaining that I did, but now you know more about your past. How crazy was that? Your real dad murdered your step dad. Crazy! R/R and I will see you next next chapter. Sorry if it wasn`t much of a cliffhanger. Ok Bye!
