Ch. 9: First Conversation
It's the next day at school Mike is sitting outside on a bench in front of the school waiting on Ethan Mike looks around and sees Ethan walking towards him
'Hey Ethan you got a minute to talk?' Mike asks, Ethan walks up to him
'What's up?' Ethan asks
'Can I ask you something about yesterday?' Mike asks
'Oh so it's going to be one of those long talks, that Juilet makes me do with her once a day' Ethan says, he sits down beside him
'Don't worry I'll make it short and sweet' Mike says
'Ok go ahead' Ethan says
'Why did you all sudden want to be near me?' Mike asks
Ethan gets the feeling that Mike thinks he doesn't like him in general
'I get the feeling that you think that I didn't like you as a person in general' Ethan says, Mike nods yes and looks down sadly
'Mike that's not the case at all, I do like you as a person, the reason why I wasn't around you a lot is because you remind me of Nick and I know that you don't like to be compare to him and I realize that you are your own person just because you guys have a few things in common doesn't mean that you guys are the same person' Ethan says, Mike looks at him
'So you're trying to move on from all of this?' Mike asks, Ethan nods yes
'It's funny that I say that because yesterday said something interesting' Mike says
'What was it?' Ethan asks
'Just because people move on from that one person that they cared about doesn't mean that you are going to forget them you're just make room in your heart for other people to be in it' Mike says
'Hmmmm, that makes sense actually' Ethan says
'Do you think that we can start being friends?' Mike asks, Ethan smiles
'You just want to go see the horses don't you?' Ethan asks
'And spend time with my new friend' Mike says
'Yeah, yeah' Ethan says
They sit in silence for a few seconds and looks at each other and starts laughing
'Well I see that this conversation went well' Juilet says
'Are you guys friends now?' Ashley asks, Ethan and Mike looks at each other
'Yeah we are' Ethan says
'Thank God' Juilet says
'Freaking finally' Ashley says
'Anyway do you have the flash drive with everything on it?' Juilet asks Ashley
'Yeah I do but Ethan I have to warn you that this isn't going to be easy to watch' Ashley says
'I never did think that it was going to be easy to watch' Ethan says
'Alright then, let's go to the computer lab' Ashley says
They get their stuff and goes inside the school, they head to the computer lab
-
In the computer lab Ashley shows them everything even the person having that stress episode
'Wait is that who I think it is?' Juilet asks
'Yeah it is' Ashley says, everybody looks at Ethan
'Yeah it's Aunt Amanda, she's having one of her stress episodes' Ethan says
'Wait you know about these episodes?' Ashley asks
'Oh yeah, I seen her have a couple of them before it's scary when it happens' Ethan says
'You're not mad that she didn't tell anybody after it?' Ashley asks
'How can I be mad at her because that's not fair to her, she can't help it when one of her episodes happens' Ethan says
'What triggers these episodes?' Mike asks, Ethan looks at him
'Aunt Amanda couldn't get pregnant and she always wanted to be pregnant but Aunt Savannah had to step in and be the one pregnant, after that Aunt Amanda wasn't the same since then, and whenever she's stressed out she goes back to that day of the doctor telling her that she couldn't get pregnant' Ethan says
'PTSD' Juilet says
'Yeah, exactly' Ethan says
'Aunt Ava couldn't get pregnant either so why did it affect Aunt Amanda more then Aunt Ava?' Ashley asks
'I'm guessing Aunt Amanda wanted it more than Aunt Ava did' Ethan says
'Ok so we got the security footage now let's focus on the truck because there's nothing that we can do about Aunt Amanda' Mike says, they agree
'Wait one more thing Claire told me yesterday that the reason why Aunt Amanda didn't tell the cops is because if they saw this security footage she wouldn't be fit to stand trail' Ashley says
'That's also true' Ethan says
'Ok after school I'll go over the security footage and I'll let you guys know if I find anything' Juilet says
'Ok sounds good to me' Ethan says
'I have a copy too so I can help top from a distance' Ashley says
'Two set of eyes on the same security footage is better than one set of eyes' Mike says
They agree on that then the bell rings Ashley hands Juilet the flash drive and they head to their first class
