Tales of a Gay Teenager
Chapter 15: "Decisions that can haunt us" part 2
Diana: Come here young lady!
I watched as Keisha went past me in a flash of speed, I followed after her but she closed the door infront of my face.
Me: Keisha come on, what's wrong with you?
Keisha: [Crying] leave me alone
Me: Keisha Iam sorry
Keisha: For what?
Me: [silent]
Keisha: exactly, now shut up and leave me alone.
I went downstairs to comfort my mother, Angela went already. I looked over at Tom who also called a taxi and followed her. Gabriel was sitting at the dinner table staring at a distance, Kevin went to sit by the pool and Cassie was comforting Anna. And that was it, a whole friendly family dinner ruined just like that. I took a deep breath and went to my room. I put on my favourite playlist and tried to relax, and before I knew it I dozed off. A notification came in from my phone, it was a weather update there's going to be a storm in Navenwood and everyone should stay inside the house. It was already thundering so I went to check on Keisha:
Me: Sis, are you sleeping?
Me: Keisha??
I knocked at my mother's room
Me: Mom, Keisha doesn't want to get out of her room. Iam worried about her
Diana: Let her be, she will come back to her senses
Me: and if she doesn't?
Diana: Trust me, she will
Me: No, something's not right..
Diana: What are you doing?
Me: Iam gonna try and break the door
Diana: Sam!?
Me: [I tried to kick the door open but was unsuccessful, suddenly Gabriel came and kicked it open]
We went inside in suprise to find Keisha not there
Diana: Keisha?!
Me: [I found splattered glass pieces on the floor] the window broke!
Diana: where's my child [crying] Keisha!!!
Me: Mom please calm down, we'll try to find her
I quickly rushed to put on my coat
Gabriel: What are you doing?
Me: We are going to look for her?
Gabriel: we?
Me: Yes
Gabriel: Now? At 10:23pm?
Me: All of us are going, and we are going to find my sister
My Mom, Gabriel, Cassie, Kevin and me bundled up to go outside. It was already stormy, we went out and tried to search for her. We spent hours in the streets trying to look for her
Cassie: urgh this won't work
Me: You are right, *sigh* Iam so tired
Gabriel: we should divide ourselves into groups and help look for her.
Me: I'll try and call my friends
Diana: No, don't bother them. They probably need to rest
Cassie: They never sleep
I made a call to Jordan, he wasn't sleeping instead he was getting ready to go out partying with the rest of the gang but he called them in to help us. It took thirty minutes for them to arrive.
But an arrival of someone caught my eye, it was Tom:
Gabriel: What are you doing here?
Tom: I came to ask for an apology on behalf of my family but instead the staff told me that you were out here looking for...
Gabriel: Very nice of you but no thank you
Diana: Gabriel stop, we need all the eyes we can get to look for my daughter.
Tom: Thank you, Ms Diana
Diana: Just call me Diana
Cassie: Okay how are we going to divide this group...Kevin?
Kevin: Yes
Cassie: Are you okay?
Kevin: [he looked at me in a very disturbing face] Iam fine
Jordan: Okay, before it gets too stormy here, Ms Diana you will go with Cassie, Mr Gabriel you will go with Carl, Mark you will go with Kevin. Me and that guy over there, and Sam we will go together.
Diana: Okay please be safe guys and if you have any updates please call me immediately
Cassie: alright let's not waste any time
We parted ways and searched all over. Tom, Jordan and I hurled up in the woods, it was very dark and it was now raining heavily.
Jordan: Okay babes I can't deal with this hunt anymore, my glamorous Indonesian boots are getting drenched all over
Me: urgh Jordan you'll survive
Jordan: [whispering] I need this hunk next to you to carry me
Me: seriously Jordan, it's not the time for jokes.
Jordan: What if I ask him out?
Me: Jor..
Jordan: Hey there
Tom: Hi
Jordan: You're so hot
Tom: Thanks
Jordan: Can I have your number?
Tom: Sure [they exchanged numbers infront of me]
- Carl's POV -
Mr Gabriel was just an awfully quiet guy, cold and doesn't even smile. I felt as if I was walking with Teressa's father. Until he finally broke the ice:
Gabriel: So, are you in Sam's school?
Me: Yeah, we are in the same class
Gabriel: Oh okay, are you close with Sam?
Me: What do you mean by that?
Gabriel: Close in a way that you two have..
Me: No no no, Mr Gabriel, Me and Sam never had s..
Gabriel: Okay.
How could he ask me that, it was akward again. I felt sad, to know that everyone is busy looking for Keisha while I know where she is. I decided to make a quick call
Me: Uhm, I'll be right back. My mother's calling
Me: {Keisha, I feel bad for doing this. You're making me regret this decision}
Keisha: {I can't go home now, until the dust settles in a few days. Can I stay here for a few more days}
Me: {yeah sure, gotta go. Something's wrong with Mr Gabriel}
Me: Mr Gabriel!!
Me: Help! Sam!
- Sam's POV -
I heard voices from a distance, I decided to run back alone
