my seven brothers

twenty-one

"Why was the door to the basement unlocked?"
He turned around to face me.

I was stiff.

I didn't know what to say.

D...does he know...?

I remembered that Tony and I forgot to lock the door again after unlocking it.

SHIT!

"I-I don't k-know what you mean."
I tried not to be nervous for once, but I screwed it.

Dylan looked at me suspiciously while furrowing his eyebrows.

"Our basement was unlocked yesterday even after we locked it."

"A-and what does it have to do with m-me?"

He looked at me with his intimating stare. I was really scared at first till I noticed,

I don't have a reason for being scared.

My courage came up and I got a bit angry again.

"And besides that, I was at Tony's yesterday! Did you already forget it? If you're suspecting me from going into the basement, you're wrong! How should I've done that?"
I said with an attitude.

Of course he was pissed at my attitude, but then he folded his arms and bit his cheek.

After a while of staring at me intensely, he started talking.

"Argh, forget it!"
He turned around and went straight ahead.

I was surprised because I didn't expect this from him. I really thought that he would squeeze the truth out of me.

But I was glad that he didn't do so.

I started walking too but held distance from him, but he stopped again walking.

"Don't tell the others from this conversation."
He spare a glance at me.

It was dark.

Threateningly.

I nodded my head and then he walked straightforward again.

What was that...

I sat on my seat and sketched some bullshit on my notebook.

My thoughts were completely filled with fear because of Dylan.

I was sure that he suspected me now and this only means that he'll find out the truth later on. I was really scared about that.

I also thought about his last words that he said to me.

Why doesn't he want me to tell my brothers about this conversation?

Shouldn't he even confronted me with this question?

As the frustration became bigger, I only scrabbled on my notebook.
