Both boys were quiet at first, refusing to stare at each other.
"Well?" Kenzie glared harder. Jordan shot Hunter a heated glare before turning his attention back to Kenzie.
"I'll start," he said, his voice heavy. "You know we were best friends before," Kenzie nodded. "But there was also someone else who was in our little group; my twin sister." Jordan glared at Hunter with hatred once again. "This murderer and my twin sister got into a relationship a year later, and that was also the time he was a messed up kid." Hunter didn't speak; he didn't bother correcting Jordan. He just let him talk. "He got into a fight with a gang leader. The leader ended up getting caught and was sent to jail. A few months later, he escaped. The scum didn't even bother telling Keira and me. We were completely oblivious. He'd disappear, come back bruised and banged up and wouldn't tell us a thing. Then just a week later, Keira got kidnapped. We both searched for her in the entire town, and when we finally found her…" Jordan paused, his fists clenched and his eyes burning with fury. He trembled in anger, refusing to even look at Hunter. "She was dead. She was tortured to death. Her boyfriend enraged the leader and got my sister involved. The leader killed my twin to get back at him." taking a deep breath, Jordan closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "And that's what happened."

Kenzie stared at Jordan, trying to control her shock, then turned to face Hunter. "Well," she started, her voice trembling. She tried again, her voice steady and hard this time, "Well. Hunter? Care to explain your side of the story?"

Hunter looked like he was about to object, but Kenzie cut him off. "Don't tell me you don't have one. Everyone has their own version of what happened. Including you."

Hunter fell quiet for a moment, looking at Jordan and then back at Kenzie.
"I…" he paused, swallowing thickly. His throat felt dry and he didn't know what to say. "The day I got into a fight… K… Keira and I were on a date," he started in a low voice, looking down on his lap. "She was really pretty and sometimes her beauty attracted the wrong attention. That afternoon, Keira had to leave early because Jordan was sick and I had some errands to do." Hunter found difficulty in telling his side of the story. For years he believed Jordan's version and that it was his fault, but now Kenzie was making him explain his side of the story and it was hard. "When she left, I… heard a bunch of guys talking about her. They passed on vulgar comments and obviously, I was angry. They were talking about my Keira. The next thing I knew, we were fighting and the police arrived. They caught the guy and then told me they had been searching for him for months." His mouth felt dry as he continued, the words flowing out easier than before. "It turned out he was a gang leader as well as a serial rapist. He'd assault a woman and then leave her to die. I didn't know that before I attacked him.
"When he was arrested, his gang was furious. I couldn't let them hurt Jordan or Keira, so I made a deal with them. They could hurt me as much as they wanted as long as they kept their hands off of them. It worked for a few months. Then their leader escaped and he wanted revenge. What better way to do it than kidnap my girlfriend? She was already his target and I had just made things easier for him. By the time I realized his plans, she had disappeared. Jordan and I tried tracking down as best as we could but… when we found her," his voice cracked, his figure trembled. Halfway through his story, Hunter had his face in his hands, refusing to look up. "You know the rest. Jordan's right. It was my fault. I was the reason she ended up that way. I killed Keira."

"Hunter," Kenzie whispered gently as she sat down next to him. She pulled his hands away from his face and looked him straight in the eye. "That wasn't your fault. Those men, it was their fault, not yours. They are the ones to blame for this."

"I should've been able to protect her," Hunter argued, his eyes tearing up as he bit his lip in frustration. "She was my girlfriend! I should've kept an eye on her the minute I heard he had escaped. I should've told Jordan. But I didn't. I kept it to myself and I got a dead girlfriend and a best friend who wants to kill me in return."

"Hunter, listen to me!" Kenzie exclaimed, still looking into his eyes to get her point across. "You cannot be everywhere at once, and you cannot protect everyone. Sometimes things happen that we wish we could change, but we can't, and that's that. We can either run from the past, or we can learn from it. It's your choice."

Hunter fell silent for a moment. For years, Hunter blamed himself for the death of his girlfriend. He didn't even attend her funeral, thinking he wasn't worthy enough to show up. He refused to visit her grave, knowing he was the one who put her there.
It felt ironic that in those thirty minutes, a few words broke his resolve.
"So what am I supposed to do now?" he asked, his voice shaking. "I don't even know what I'm supposed to do anymore…"

Dropping Hunter's hands and standing up, Kenzie said softly, "Let her go. Move on. Fall in love again."

(I don't know what to make him do lol)
"It's not that easy," he whispered. "She's all that I see…"

(Brb! I'll be back in a while; I got class ;^;)

(Ik, me neither! Ok, have fun, lol.)

Kenzie thought for a minute then finally spoke, asking Hunter, "Have you visited her grave, recently? That might help. And don't be too proud to cry, either. Just let it all go. I know you won't forget her, and I'm certainly not going to ask you to do that, but just realize that she's not here anymore. She's not coming back. Honor her memory by falling in love again, with someone new."

(Whee, I love free time during lessons laughs)

Hunter fell silent before curling his lips.
"… you're right…" he finally says. "It won't do me any good, running away from her forever. Thank you, Kenz…"

"Yeah, of course," Kenzie replied, a gentle smile lifting the corners of her mouth. "Hey, if you ever need anyone to talk to, just remember that I'm here, okay?"

After Alyssa left, Rob went and sat down again. He pulled a new folder out of his jacket pocket. He opened it up. Inside were pictures of beautiful girls, each of them with red ex across their eyes. Rob found a picture of Alyssa. He picked up the picture and sighed. This one had no ex across the eyes, it was Alyssa smiling, a beautiful Caribean in the background. Then he spotted one of his favourite pictures of all time. It was a gorgeous, young girl. She wore a purple dress and she had dazzling brown eyes, sadly crossed out with an ex. Keira. He remembered too well. The day she vanished. He wiped a tear from his eye and stuffed the pictures back in the folder. He had to move on. It was Alyssa's turn anyway.

Hunter smiled gratefully.
"Thank you again," he whispered. Then he turned to look at Jordan, who refused to make an eye contact with him. The boy stood up and stalked over to what Hunter assumed was his room, and shut the door.
Well, thought Hunter. Not everything can be resolved quickly…
"I have another favor…" Hunter asked quietly, knowing he had burdened Kenzie enough but couldn't bring himself to do this alone.

(You guys are funny! :D Lol. Sorry I was gone, I had things to do.)

"Yeah? What is it?" Kenzie gently prompted Hunter, a concerned look crossing her face.
