Chapter 3 - 3

I was so shaken by what had happened at the temple ,i had come to the realisation that the priest and those who worked for him were all monsters working under the pretence of the temple to carry out their evil activities but i just hadn't known how dangerous they really were .....i was sure i never wanted to return there and i would do everything to make my parents understand that they were evil. finally we got registered into the best school in castle hedingham ...a small community located within london ..that was where dad had decided we stayed . Henry and i were both admitted into sacred heart academy ....i was excited that i finally got back to school and it wasn't even up to a month i had left my previous school ..either ways we got in as transferred students .Henry was a bit skeptic and scared ,he didn't want to be bullied but i knew that no matter what he would still be bullied and i would protect him no matter what. I got to school that morning with Reuben and the other boys ..i caught sight of a very beautiful girl but strangely she looked so familiar ."Reuben look over there ..that new girl looks so familiar but i can't remember where we've seen her ."i asked reuben with a confused face ,as expected reuben immediately recognised her ."she is the beautiful girl that got out of the car that night ,whose dad asked us for directions ..i can't believe she is now a student in our school that's awesome ." reuben replied ....from that night i had seen her,i had a huge crush on her and i wanted to go meet her and talk to her but she kept ignoring me and every other student which earned her the nickname "WHITCH" ..as expected the girls were so jealous of her since the boys fell head over heels for her .either ways i just needed her to be my friend and nothing else since i noticed reuben equally had a soft spot for her. Henry was in a different class so i dint know much about what was going on with him but he kept telling me he was fine ... the bell had just rang so it was time for lunch ,i hurried to the dinning and saw henry being bullied by some boys ..they were known to be the school bullies so everyone dreaded them since even if they were reported there parents would bail them out of the issue while the innocent ones would get the punnishment ..out of anger i threw a pack of milk at the head of travis who was of course the ring leader.. luckily for my brother and i ,Davis and Reuben were there on time and immediately dealt with them so we left .The next day at school ,my brother was taken to the school's roof top by those jerks and was being forced to take his pants off while being beaten ..i heard of this from one of the class girls and hurried to the rooftop ,while running i bumped into reuben and davis and i begged them to follow me so they could save my brother from the hands of those idiots ."am so sorry for bumping into you ,but please my brother needs help ,travis has taken him to the roof top and i don't know what they are doing to him ..please could you follow me to help stop them ,my brother is ill ..please i beg you ." i pleaded like never before ,i just had the hunch that something very bad was about to happen and i wanted to stop it at all cost . Davis and reuben were being hesistant and i didn't have the time to waste ,so i left them and hurried to go save my brother from those wicked boys . I got to the rooftop and saw what that travis ,scott ,leonard and there foolish girlfriends were with their phones live streaming my brother and telling him to take his pants off..i pleaded with them and they told me to take my shirt off instead ,seeing that there was nothing i could to make them change their mind ..i obliged just so they would leave my brother alone ..just then reuben came in and they all started fighting ..i fought the girls while reuben took care of the boys ,,for a moment i forgot about my brother ." everybody stop fighting " my brother yelled ..we all looked up only to see my brother standing on the far edge of the roof top. "Henry what do you think you are doing, please come down don't do something that would hurt you please think about mum and dad ..don't do it for me ." i pleaded with my brother crying but he refused ..and that time everybody had become alert and had stopped fighting ,we all concentrated on henry ..." hellen i'm sorry but i just have to do this ..i don't want to be a burden anymore ..i need to escape this pain ..it doesn't change no matter how many times we change places ..it would still be the same ..the pain would never go away." henry said "i hope God answers my prayer and accepts me into his kingdom " he added .."henry please you don't have to do this ..i would always be here for you ..no matter what, you just can't leave me ." i pleaded but i couldn't even finish my statement before henry jumped off the roof and died .

It was like life had come to a stop ..i couldn't figure out anything anymore ..henry's death kept playing in my mind ..i cried my heart out but it was already late ,my brother was gone ,,my twin had died ,my best friend had left me and there was nothing i could do to stop it ..my life lost it's meaning the moment henry jumped off the roof ..after that all i could remember was that reuben had beaten the hell out of travis ,the school had called the ambulance ..i watched as my twin brother was rushed to the hospital ,i knew it was late already cause my brother had gone ..reuben and travis were taken to the station and everything was pinned on reuben ..travis was called the victim ..my mum cried ceaselessly ,dad was quiet ,mum blamed me for everything and hit me ..i couldn't even feel the pain ..the only pain i felt was my heart ,it was like i was already dead but trapped in life . After hellen had ran into i and reuben and pleaded with us to save her brother ..i wanted to go but i had promised my dad that i won't be involved in any mischief so he would win the position of the mayor ..reuben had argued with me and ran off to go save hellen and her brother ..he had always been a care free boy whose father was a drunk and grandma did all kind of jobs so she could feed him.. after getting to class ..i saw a shadow fall heads down, only to check what it was and see the body of hellen's brother ..the one i was meant to save ..the one that would still be alive if only i had gone ,if only i had followed my heart ..if only i had answered the cry of the girl that i claimed to love ..reuben refused talking to me ..i tried everything to inform the police about the main truth but it fell on deaf ears ..reuben was already tried in court and sentenced to three years in the juvenile prison ..since he was underage .i couldn't even make it to his trial, if only i had gone to the rooftop that day ..my best friend won't have been sentenced or accused wrongly ..henry would still be alive ..i had visited the hospital but hellen refused to talk to me ,i understood her pain and i was partly to blame ..that was the last time i saw hellen ..she and her family had suddenly disappeared ,no one knew there where about but i hoped to see her oneday and make up for the mistake i made ..i vowed to do everything within my power to make hellen and reuben forgive me .
