Kaleidoscope

Chapter 13

Yuna's posture straightened as she walked towards Todd, making her look a lot more dominant than she usually does.  It was scary, and the fact she said fractured bones and a damaged brain made us all shiver in fear.

Cam covered his eyes "Yuna please no!"

Tony stood in front of Todd quickly. 'We don't want anybody else hurt right now. This won't heal your brother. Trust me, we are all wishing the best for him" Tony said. Yuna took a deep breath, then she walked away from us without a word.

The hallway is staring at us right now, and the people who were in the way of Yuna immediately made way for her, as if she's a princess. It's the opposite of what it's like to go snorkeling, and how Seth have made me feel around him. Instead of everybody not being afraid to be close to you, everybody is afraid of you. I can't imagine that's a positive thing if it lasts.

Todd scuffed up his hair "thanks man", he said to Tony, not even looking into his eyes. Tony looked frustrated "that is because I don't want another fight to happen. But you should know the girl isn't wrong" he said.

Todd looked angry "I'm mad too about it, you know?! This isn't the first time we went to Grey Mountain, we always do. It just so happens he fell so badly today!" he said.

Tony swallowed a lump in his throat. Todd continued "You think I did it on purpose? Because I tell you, Seth is the only friend I have that will actually stand by me through thick and thin. I would never even think about hurting him" he said.

We were all silent. Somehow even though there are so many words to say, nothing would come out. 

"I'm just saying. The girl is broken, and its because of you" Tony said.

Todd raised his voice "Yes! I can see that very clearly! But it was because I said what you couldn't say" he continued "If you want me to be silent because you are so perfect and heroic, then do you expect me to nod at what you just said? Think of it. I know Seth longer than you do. I went through so many things with him and you have no idea how close we are. So stop talking like I'm a child who needs tutoring" he said.

I find myself unable to be silent anymore. "That's true..." I said. Its not like I'm siding with Todd, or I'm saying he's innocent, but what Tony said to Todd is very unnecessary.

"We are all on edge right now. But we can't take our anger out on each other" Sana said "as the grandpa said... we should stay calm."

I find Sana's ability to keep calm in the direst situations very admirable. All of us looked at Sana, as if she is the only source of good sense right now "look at my brother. He's crying and neither you or Tony are aware of that" she said, looking at Todd.

"You don't have to... Sana" Cam said.

Sana ignored what Cam said "Honestly, how he's acting is how we want to act right now. He's the most mature out of all of us because he's not turning his sadness into anger to look strong. He's not hiding how he truly feels." Tony looked at Sana with wide eyes, and Todd did the same. I'm surprised on how good she is at talking, and how she's able to say it so confidently. I realize there's truth in what she says, its just in a different perspective, that most of us have forgotten existed.

"I've been there, we all have. Its not the first and it won't be the last. But we need to learn that its much more effective for all of us to be calm right now" she said. With that we were all silent.

"Yes ma'am." Tony said finally, taking a seat. Todd took a deep breath as he looked at Sana, then at Cam. He frowned then sat down.

Sana walked over to Cam and they hugged, making Cam cry even louder. "D-do you actually think that?" Cam asked. Sana herself is crying now "I don't think that Cam, I believe in that" she laughed "that sounded so cheesy... forget it."
