Hidden Truth

~ 10 ~

Re-cap

Mrs Kens runs to her husband side and told him reassuring words. Telling him that one day, when I’m ready I’ll come back.

Will I ever going to be ready? Do I even want to face my past? My mate who cruelly rejected me?

My thoughts drifts to every question I could possibly ask to myself knowing well that I knew the answer somewhere deep in me but how was I going to find it?

~*~

I didn’t realise I was deep in thought until Mrs Kens cleared her throat and looking very uncomfortable.

After the awkward moment at Mr and Mrs Kens house, we join the group and ate dinner.

I made sure to sit next to Arvin and Brian the whole time as I realise everyone who came up to me had mention my old self and how I resembles her.

Of course, they soon said it would be impossible for me to come back until-he who should not be name-leaves the pack. That my folks lift my mood to the whole knew level but when Mrs Kens gave me this strange look, I couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“Are you alright?” Brian whispers beside me.

I turn my head and smile up to him. For some who’s sat down, Brian is surely tall. I thought which I realise I said through the mind link as Brian thanked me back.

“Can’t I have a little bit of privacy?” I said, arching an eyebrow.

Brian rolls his eyes at me and continues eating his turkey and mash potatoes. “It’s not my fault you’re not putting your walls up.”

I huff as I ate my portion of the turkey and mash potatoes. “Whatever.” I mumble earning a head shake from Brian.

When are you going to tell them who you really are? He asks through the mind link.

What do you mean? I ask not sure what he really on about.

This people, they seem to miss you a lot. He nods his head towards the laughing crowd.

I look at the people that once I called my friends and family and felt guilt. I don’t know yet. I… I trail off, not sure what I really want. I don’t think I’m ready to face my past just yet.

Brian nod and smile at me. Letting me know he understood and he’s not judging me. Whatever happens you know we’ll always be here for you.

Thanks. I said, shyly.

Puzzled I frown at my food. Why did I felt shy towards Brian? I known him for a long time and being Arvin’s cousin we practically brothers and sisters.

Brian must have realised my confusion as he ask, “Are you alright?”

I look up at him and give him a reassuring smile, which I hope it was before nodding. But I couldn’t help but feel my heart skips.

What the heck? I thought making sure to mask my face with a blank expression when truthfully I was confuse as hell.

I bite the bottom of my lips which I soon realise I been doing quite a lot recently before groaning to myself.

“Are you sure you’re alright?” Brian asks once again.

I nod but this time not looking at him, feeling a bit embarrass. Why? I have no clue myself.

“I’m going to grab more of those cheesecakes, do you want some?” Brian asks as I nod my head.

I heard him got up and walk away. I look up and gaze at up.
