23.

Ryan took a deep breath and made his way over to Emily, I followed him.

Her eyes were locked on her phone so Ryan had to fake cough to catch her attention.

"Uhm, I'm sorry miss, but are you Emily urie?", he asked nervously.

"Depends on who asks", she said with narrowed eyes.

"I'm Ryan Ross", he said, "I wanna talk about your brother."

"Wow, good beginning", I sighed next to him.

Emily's eyes lit up with a glim of sadness, before darkening.

"I'm sorry, I have to go", she said smiling at Ryan quickly, wanting to go past him.

"Follow her!", I said pointing at my sister.
He did as I said and jogged over to her.

"It's important, I may know something", he said laying his hand on her shoulder.

She stopped walking and turned around with her lips pressed together.

"What do you know about my brother?", she asked, her whole body tensing up.

"Uhm, what about we take a walk and I'll explain?", Ryan asked scratching the back of his neck.

Emily hesitated at first, but nod her head after a few seconds.

We all started walking, uncomfortable in our skin, because no one said a word. Not even I did.

"Are you just going to stay silent or will you tell me something?", Emily asked obviously slightly annoyed.

"Oh, right", Ryan mumbled, "Please don't think I'm crazy."

Emily stopped walking and just looked at Ryan with narrowed eyes.

"Promise me you won't tell anybody", Ryan said, but Emily didn't react. She just stared.

"Do you know how he... you know?", she finally asked, her voice cracking.

"That's what I wanna talk about with you, I think we can find out who it was."

She gulped and looked on her feet playing with the hem of her black shirt.

"What about we take a seat?", Ryan suggested pointing at a bench next to us.

She nod and they two sit down, I preferred to stand.

"Please tell her about me!", I told Ryan, who narrowed his eyes at me.

"What are you looking at?", Emily asked.

"Ryan, now tell her!", I told him, starting to feel nervous.

"Uhm", he only made, causing me to sigh.

"Trust me, Ryan! I know how she'll believe you! Just tell her!", I said pointing at my sister.

Ryan's eyes wandered to the ground while he bite his lip.

"It's brendon", he mumbled, but Emily obviously understood, because her eyes widened.

"You're kidding, right?", she asked sighing, "that's not funny, he was my fucking brother."

"It's true!", Ryan said standing up.

Emily just shook her head and walked past Ryan, saying: "search for a psychologist, you need help."

"We maybe have a small chance finding out about your brothers death when you listen to me now. You don't have a chance", Ryan said serious.

Emily stopped walking, her back still facing Ryan.

"I'll explain to you everything", he said softly, causing Emily to finally turn around. Her eyes were watery and locked on the ground.

"Just hear me out, then you can decide if you go or not", Ryan said holding his hand out.

Emily hesitated at first, but took his hand shaking it.

"Deal."
