Love Magic: Two Different Hearts novel Chapter 44

Glen's POV

The school was already back to its normal condition since the damages was fixed and restored. Everything turned back but the only thing that can't be brought back was the lives that were lost during that incident.

Cries of pain can be heard inside the place as we all looked at the bodies of our classmates that were lost.

I closed my eyes and hear the students', parents', friends', families', relatives' and even the teachers' cries and sobs. It was so painful to watch that I couldn't hold my tears and they slowly slide down my cheeks and drip on the floor.

(The message of their cries really struck me since I can somewhat understand what they are feeling even though I didn't lose someone and that is exactly the reason...) I opened my eyes and glance at Kaylee and I was surprised because she was looking at me while tears are sliding down in her eyes too.

(Because I would be one of them if I didn't go and helped Kaylee, even though I didn't lose someone but still I know the feeling of nearly losing someone right before you) I thought as I smile painfully at her and she slowly wipes her eyes and look in front.

I suddenly felt that someone was looking at me and when I turn at my side, I saw my brother who was looking at me.

I was caught off guard when I saw a worried expression in his eyes and I think that I owe him and apology. He then looks away before I bow my head in shame and I then look in front and remember something.

"Don't ever make us worry like that" my brother shouted in anger when I woke up.

He was showing an expression that made me feel guilty and at the same time hurt but still I'm trying to understand where he is coming from since I know why he's mad.

Because if we didn't have gotten out of the smoke earlier then we might have didn't make it in time.

My brother is angry because I went inside the smoke and even thought my reason as to why I entered is reasonable but still I understand him because he will not only lose a cousin but also a brother in case something went wrong.

My parents manage to calm him down that moment and he did but one thing disappointed me was he became a little distant from me and we haven't talked for this whole week.

(Yeah you heard me right. A week already passed after that incident happened and also one whole week that I haven't exchange words with my brother) I mumble in my head while looking at the other students in the room.

Every time that I will talk to him, he would find a way and manage to avoid me. But I didn't give up and still, until now I haven't given up from talking to him.

(I already miss my brother, the one who is always there for me when I feel down. Even though I admit that I really still don't know him entirely since I lived with our grandparents but still, I manage to know parts of him when they come to visit us back then. I really hate this feeling) I ranted in my head while I close my eyes try to calm myself.

(I know that he is hurt but still can't he also understand me. I tried all my best to talk to him but still he always avoids me. I can no longer understand him. He is being selfish and this has to stop now) I said determined before I open my eyes and find my resolve.

"I will talk to him after this, since this has to stop. He is already being selfish and stubborn" I mumble and then I waited for the ceremony to end.

_____________________________________

The ceremony ended perfectly and we are now eating on the cafeteria since the school has prepared food for this occasion.

"So are you and Ace still haven't talked?" Kaylee ask me as I stab at the pork unconsciously.

I immediately groan and glare at the pork.

"Unfortunately, you are right. He still won't talk to me, I have begged and pleaded for him to talk to me but still he is too stubborn enough that he won't budge" I protested while looking at her.

She gave me a sympathetic look and I just groan in annoyance while I turn and look at this person who is in front of me. I eyed him and I really want to grab him and slam his head on the wall and maybe he would return back.

"So why is he still tailing you and he is always near you for the past week" Kaylee whispered to me as we stare at my brother who is silently eating just beside us.

I sigh in frustration and I look at my brother. I stare at him and I didn't even look away.

"What are you doing?" Kaylee said when I was staring at my brother for a couple of seconds now. I then turn around and look at her before I pulled her near me.

"Come and help me. Let's try to read what is going on inside of his head maybe it might give us a clue on how to make him budge" I said to her and she nods her head and we are now both staring at my brother.

(Let's see if you still won't talk to me. I will keep on staring at you until you will talk to me even though it will take me a million years I wo-nah. Million years... of course we'd be already dead and still that million years wouldn't come) I thought while I saw him slowly getting uncomfortable and I think that this pressuring would work since he was shifting in his seat while we both look at him.

He was about to give up--I think but suddenly his friend Mark came into view making us shift our gaze to him and he flinched when we look at him.

"Easy I'm not here to fight anyone. I'm just here to eat with you" he said nervously and we both just nod our head and look at my brother again.

"Come on and stop this. Seriously your all creeping me out" he said and we then look at him and he immediately raise his hand in surrender.

I sighed and release a frustrated sigh before I look at my brother in annoyance. (What is he really made off? Aren't my gaze intimidating just like Sir Tanner) I thought while looking at my brother.

(Why does it always work when I do it with his friend--) I then stare at Mark and he was glancing at me every 5 seconds. He was shifting in his seat and you could really tell that he is really nervous. He stopped looking at his food and he was slowly shifting close to my brother making me follow him still and he was really nervous as heck.
