Reality

Chapter 15

Author's POV

Everyone gathered near the fire, nobody was ready to sleep, the loss of their friend had distributed them, they were trying to think about all the possible outcomes as they looked at each other. Kayleigh, Angelina, Tristan, Catherine, Kartik, Naira, Leslie and Jack.

They looked at each other as if promising them that they would protect them no matter the cost.

" Leslie, I heard that you remember our past" Angelina spoke softly

" Yes, I do" she said

" I think it's a good time that we know that information, we don't know what the future holds, but at least we could live our past that we so desperately wanted to know" Angelina explained

" I think she's right, what do you think guys?" Kayleigh asked others

They all nodded in response and looked expectantly toward Leslie, who fidgeted under everyone's gaze and then she made eye contact with Jack, the only comforting eyes for her.

" I'll tell you whatever I remember " she said

" We all were friends there too, though I don't remember Kayleigh and Angelina dating as you guys stated, that they were dating" Leslie said looking at Angelina and Kayleigh

" Kayleigh was a football champion in our school while Angelina was a cheerleader and there's one more thing which you'll know in a while" Leslie said

" What" Tristan laughed

"My sister was a cheerleader, damn, I couldn't believe it, here she was only studying, you know the intelligent people, and just had a knack for hating these clubs things" Tristan chuckled

They were all surprised by this revelation

" I was a football champion, maybe that explains why I could run so fast?" He smiled

" Trust me, you would run faster when Angelina would chase you" Catherine added

" Always a pleasure sis, always a pleasure " Kayleigh made faces at Catherine

" You guys were also like this back then, I mean Kayleigh being the older one, was always irritating Catherine but I remember once when he beat up a guy when we were small, and we went to a store, and a guy older than us called her something like small eyes and she started crying, Kayleigh came and broke his nose in one punch" Leslie smiled remembering that memory

" I never knew this side of Kayleigh, maybe because we never spent much time together as he went to college or you know" Catherine quitened

Everyone went silent for a little while when Leslie spoke again

" Moving on, we were always a group, I mean our group, it was always fun being around you guys, I would start one by one , I guess"  Leslie said and looked at Tristan

" You were the boxing champion of our school, I didn't know where you got that anger from but you were good at it, you were normally calm except when tortured by Jack and his jokes. You were the son of a known entity, I think your father was mayor, sorry I don't remember much" Leslie said

" I was the mayor's son??" Tristan was shocked

" I was the mayor's daughter and a cheerleader, wow life couldn't get any better " Angelina laughed at her destiny

" Yes, you always tried to sneak away from the public and was with Catherine half of the time" Leslie smiled

" What, what" Tristan asked again

" In simple words, you guys were dating " Leslie explained

" I don't know what this is, if not fate" Naira said

" Catherine, as you were the sister of Kayleigh, you gained quite an attention towards you, sometimes bad sometimes good, but you were pure at heart but deadly, and why the fuck did you know how to throw knives" First Leslie was calm when she was explaining, she then suddenly shouted but then laughed again

Catherine looked confused

" You took self defence training, and I don't know how but you also learnt to throw knives, you almost cut me once"  Leslie explained

" No wonder that's the only weapon I'm comfortable with " Catherine said as she casually played with a knife

" What about our parents?" Kayleigh asked hopefully

" I don't remember much except that they were good people " Leslie said
