A Secret Bond Ties Them Together.

.

I didn't know what to say. This was a secret I had been hiding from everyone. How could I reveal it like that, especially when I don't even know what's in Ryan's mind. So I decided about finding out what he knows and then revealing whatever is left.

"Why are you quiet now? You have no other option but to explain this to me!", he argued.

I was quiet as one word out of my mouth could ruin everything.

"Can you stop giving me the silent treatment??? I DEMAND ANSWERS!!!!", he roared.

I shut my eyes on his sudden outburst. He was scaring me. I'd never seen him this angry.

"Calm down, Ryan! This is not the right place for these things. Let's go home. I promise I'll tell you everything!", I tried to calm him down.

The ride back home was extremely tense. Neither of us spoke but I could still feel Ryan throwing daggers in my direction. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now. Finally, when we reached my apartment, I occupied myself with food, trying to buy sometime for myself.

Suddenly, Ryan came and stood right next to me.

"How long are you planning to avoid me? You'll have to tell me the truth no matter what", he stated

"How long are you planning to avoid me? You'll have to tell me the truth no matter what", he stated.

"Okay.. I'll tell you everything but first you need to tell me what do you know?", I asked him straight away.

I called 'No bullshit!'

"Why do you want to know what I know? I want to know everything which doesn't count you telling everything I know", he said in a serious manner.

To be honest, everything went over my head.

"What????? Who knows what?", I squinted my eyes at him.

"Stop it! Tell me now or else..", he said trying to calm himself.

"Or else what??", I asked.

"You have no idea what I can do! I've suffered a lot in these years. I'm not ready for another agony!", he snarled at me.

"Oh really??? Is it really you who had to face a lot of things?????", I couldn't believe my ears. "I have faced worse! You have your family with you but me.???? I was left all alone in this new city to build a life of my own! And you say you've suffered a lot??", I chided him away.

"Don't you dare say that I had my family. Thanks to you that I don't have them!", he yelled. "None of them talk to me after you left us! Neither my parents nor yours", he threw his hands in the air. "On the other hand, the girl for whom I left everything, I betrayed everyone is never happy with or for me! All she cares about is her social group and career!", he yelled again but this time, there was sorrow in his voice.
