History Must Repeat Itself

Chapter 5 - Two Devils

I wished that Aurora wasn't so upset. I think she scared herself with what she had to say to her friends. I heard the whole thing. I thought it was nice of her to stick up for me. I could tell from the way she reacted to her own voice that she was so angry she didn't realize how upset she was. some where along the silent drive back to her house, she broke down into tears. I kew from our child hood, that she just wanted to be left alone at a time like this. As much as I wanted to hold her and tell her everything would be alright, I knew she wouldn't want me to.

So we drove the rest of the way with only the sound of her silent tears.

When I parked the car and turned the engine off we just sat in silence. We turned to look at each other at the same time and I saw how hard she was trying to look happy in front of me. She had tons of red blotches around her face, but she still looked beautiful to me. I wished I could tell her that, but she wouldn't believe me. I loved her, but I knew that I couldn't have her. Plus I have Nedra. Most people think she's part devil, but she can be really sweet at times.

"Thank you, for driving me home." She wiped her tears and got out of the car before I could say anything. I saw a blur of her and her music from her room turned on full blast.

Everyone knew that as her quiet time. So no one would bug her.

Eventually I made my way inside. I walked as slow as possible. Knowing that everyone inside would be blaming me for tears.

"Why she crying?" My oldest brother, Gau, spoke as soon as I closed the front door.

"You better not have hurt her!" Daw was threatining me.

"I didn't do anything... Well at least I don't think that I did..." I turned to see everyone staring at me.

"Start talking," Melaine demanded.

"She confronted her friends to wonder why they weren't talking to her. They were just trying not to give any party details away. Except for the one called Beau, she was actually mad at Aurora for.... for.... uh." I stopped, I didn't really want to tell them that it was over me... That would just be creepy.

"For WHAT boy. We need to know!" Vesper practicly screamed.

I smilled slightly, "For not mentioning anything about... umm.... me...."

Everyone looked at me with a super confused look. Then Otieno started to laugh.

"HAHAHA!! She's crying over you!!!! HAHA!!!! That's the best thing I've heard all day!!!!"

"No she's not crying over me!!!! God what's wrong with you. She's crying because her friends yelled at her for not telling them about me, so she stood up for me. And I thought she was just angry at them. But I guess she just realized that she might lose her friends over her oldest friend. Me. I don't want to be in the middle of this! Trust me!" I started to walk towards the basement door.

"Well you have to go up there and apologize," Sullivan raised both his eye brows.

I opened my eyes so much that they were almost falling out of my sockets. "You all know that she doesn't want to be bugged! She'll kill me if I go up there... Well at least she'll try!!!"

"Fine have it your way. Let her cry the rest of the night while you listen... to all the tears... landing on the floor... It will be all your fault..." Levana dragged on.

"FINE! I'll go!" I started walking the other way, "Happy? Now you all can rest in peace knowing that I'll be dead just up these stairs..."

"Yes we will," I saw Sidra smile at me.

I turned and walked up the long stair case all the way up to the third floor. I slowly waled closer... and closer to the loud blareing music that I knew was trying to cover up tears that everyone could still hear.
