Small Petite Denali Jacket

Chapter Thirteen "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" Ethan



Day 17, 11:43

hours have passed and, frankly, I'm seeing everything as black as yesterday. It's like a nightmare. Everyone is disappointed or angry with me, but I can not avoid continuing to my guns. Okay, maybe I should not have Dylan and I hit something ... hard to Nora, but I have my reasons. Nobody saw what I witnessed, they did not have lied.

Worst of all is that while I was idiot who had no clue, Denia knew, Lydia, too ... How many more?

And the height of the whole thing now is that Adriana has punished me. It is absurd to do so as if he were his son, but I dare not disobey. People walk past me without looking, including their own Nora or Dylan. Though I suppose it is normal to do, I'm in your apartment.

Bored and angry, I sit on the kitchen floor where I have been detained and start playing with my phone, praying that I can not run out of battery. I try to stay away from reality by jumping into a small animal in green across platforms. More absurd is the game I seen in my life, but it relaxes me.

Someone sits next to me, making me confused and fall into the void. A giant "Game Over" appears on the screen. I turn off the phone.

-I should not have come to you after all, but here I am. Think about it before you start saying stupid things. I want to make, do not want to be like you .- says Nora staring straight ahead, hugging his knees with his skinny arms.

watch her face slowly. As much as I try not get to see the girl why she had taken before she was found in the arms of Dylan. It's another person, completely different from my little sister. According
.-
-yield, swallowing saliva.

"I begin I .- undecided, supports the chin to the knees and close your eyes .- If somehow could have foreseen this, I swear I would have told you, Ethan. Because I've gone terribly wrong. This is unknown to me and which arose Dylan has hurt and angered me equally.

- How is it possible? "I ask without being able to contain. Nora

sighs and turns his head toward me, to me with his sad gray eyes.

I do not know. Happened when Samuel was shot and sent us to this apartment. Discuss, speak and ... I do not know what happened. Denia caught us and therefore learned de lo que “sucedía” entre nosotros.- empieza a recordar.- Dylan me hizo creer que todo había sido un juego para que me olvidase de él y demás… Fueron unos días horribles. Me daba miedo decírtelo a ti, no tenía nadie con quien desahogarme…

-Pero algo ha pasado para que viese lo de ayer.- la corto con sequedad.

-Celos. Creo que eso fue lo que le hizo reaccionar, eso y que estuviese a punto de morir en el bosque.- contesta sin molestarse por mis modales.- No llevamos meses engañándote, ni siquiera semanas, Ethan.

Cierro los ojos para meditar lo que voy a decirle. Es difícil expresar con palabras una idea tan abstracta que se encuentra en mi interior. Vale, I do not like my best friend is my sister, but you already know it and no need to repeat it. That's not what I want to explain.

-aside ... disgusting and unbearable it seems to me that you may be just the two of you together, there is another thing that worries me .- start slowly, looking for the right words to not get me wrong. Wrinkle your nose a bit to hear the words that I attribute to their relationship, but refrains from further comment .- What most disturbs me is that you're sixteen. And I know you're going to say that this is the age I was when I started with Adriana, but there is a big difference between us, Nora. I was always far from lo que mamá y papá querían que fuesen, era mucho más maduro y sabía más. No estoy diciendo que tú no sepas lo tuyo, porque sé que no es así, pero… Eres una niña aún y tengo miedo de que quieras acabar con tu “infancia”, por decirlo de alguna manera, demasiado rápido. Ayer os vi, no debí hacerlo y siento haber invadido tu intimidad, pero lo hice. No te voy a decir que no le abraces, que no le beses, pero…

-Ethan.- me interrumpe, completamente ruborizada.- Sé dónde está el límite. Hay cosas que yo no quiero hacer aún, sé que no estoy preparada. Y créeme, Dylan también lo sabe. No tienes que preocuparte por ello. Tal probably still is, in part, that "girl" who always talk, but I'm smart and will not make such a stupid mistake.

We were silent for a while, each looking at a kitchen corner and lost in our own thoughts. I can not get angry with her, need her by my side. I love her too much and, basically, I can not ignore the fact that since you're happy he's the person I always wanted to be.

But what if they end badly? What if the wound Dylan? What will I do then? There should be a manual for these situations.

"Sorry. What I said yesterday, was ... I was angry, not pondered .- I apologize.

"And I regret having stuck .- whispers, devoting a shy smile .- Will we be friends?

Friends. What two brothers in this world can claim to be friends? I can not deny your peace offering.

.- "Of course I laugh, pulling it toward me to hug her. "Even

flee from them, I love your bear hugs .- recognize, respond with all their strength .- I do not want to be unending.

"They will not always have me here to drown. Laughing

deviates a bit and looks at me straight in the eye. Going to ask me something, I know at the time in which to start get serious to speak.

"Now you have only one thing.

- What?

-fix things with it .- murmurs.

-No .- refusal stems from my lips without even thinking it is a possibility that I can not even meditate.

-Ethan, please I beg .- .- It is your best friend. Any idea how I'll feel if you break your friendship for me? He needs you, you like him. Do not be stupid. If I've forgiven me, you can do the same with Dylan.

- What do you care?

"Very, I" da "a lot. I'll call you, speak. Fix even for me. Although I assure you he does not .- want this replica is dismissed without support, rising to get away from me.

does not make sense that after spending my whole life trying to be reconciled that they were now Nora is the need to mediate between us.

I turn my attention to my mobile waiting for Dylan to come. What am I supposed I have to say to him? Neither in the most remote of the cases I apologize for the punch. He had sought.

A figure stands in front of me, leaning against the counter with no intention of bending over so that we are at the same height. Continued to play while waiting for me to say something.

"I do not want this .- released almost immediately .- If I could do anything for this has not happened with your sister, I would. Sorry.

"I'm tired of hearing those two words. Much "feel", but then you've done is abuse my trust. She is my sister, uncle! If I left it in your hands, not the other was because I trusted you. Dylan

lowers his head, rubbing his temples with his hands before sitting back.

-Ethan, I've asked forgiveness and know that it is not in my nature. You will not get your sister or let things return to be it before throwing the fight. So, why do not we? I'm surprised

the coolness with which this release. Not that I'm used to dealing.

- What do you suggest we do? - He asked ironically. "That

make peace by Nora and dissimulation. In a few weeks thou shalt to the idea that you love and forgive, we will be "friends."

-La you .- I say, stunned by his words.

The truth is that it is the first time that I stop to think about the "feelings" that are home to each other. I have never raised the possibility that Dylan wants someone other than himself. But if Nora is because she has really gotten out of his shell and you open your heart to someone.

-not jeopardize the stability of my life for it if it did .- replied with sincerity.

And I know he's being sincere. I know enough to know that is true.

whispered "I know .- .- All right, let's do that.

I really want to make peace with him, very bad friend who has always been, I've gotten used to dirty looks and comments.

I need you by my side, Nora is right. Nora
