Chapter 4
Saint steps out of the bathroom with his towel tired around his waist. He looks at the mirror and feels his left eye and not a single scar.
"How could this happen?" Saint thought. He touches his wrist feeling the memory and pain from the incident with Eugene.
"That must have been a prank Eugene played on me." Saint thought. He wears a blue jeans with a red sweater.
He walks out the bathroom and sees Eugene waiting in front of the bathroom door. Saint gasps out of fear seeing Eugene.
"Saint, what took you so long?" Eugene smiles.
"Nothing... just felt a little stressed so I used the hot shower."
"Are you going somewhere?"
"Yeah just a little strolling. I feel suffocated in here." Saint looks at Eugene suspiciously.
"Okay, take your time."
Saint leaves the house and puts his hands in his red sweater's pocket. He begins strolling until he reaches the main park and he feels someone following him. He swiftly turns around but doesn't see anyone. He resumes walking and suddenly a hand on his shoulder and out of fear shouts and sees Noah.
"You scared me? What is wrong with everybody in this town?" Saint groans out in frustration.
"I'm sorry but you can't be here all alone by yourself. It's dangerous. Haven't you watched the news lately?"
"Like how you carried me to your house and didn't let me leave until something miraculously happened."
"And what do you think that miracle is?" Noah looks at Saint closely in the eye.
Saint moves his eye to another place noticing Noah sight on him.
"Obviously, it's God. He saved me from you and that grey man."
"Are you playing dumb or are you really dumb?"
"I have never been so embarrassed. I think lets go our separate ways now. I have had enough drama for one day."
Saint attempts to walk but unknowingly steps on a banana peel and slips. It seemed to happen like slow motion in Saint's head. He felt an instant fear come over him and a painful impact of headache. He was falling backward, his hand still upwards hoping to catch something maybe a rope. He closed his eyes shut waiting for the pain.
Instead he feels Noah grab his back. He feels Noah hands curve under his arm and hook his shoulders. He opens his eyes and sees Noah face about a meter away. A strand of brown curved hair in front of Noah forehead with heavy breathing. Saint seems enchanted in the blue eye orbs.
"Saint, there's something I have been wanting to tell you."
Saint just nods eager to hear what he has to say.
"I was right Saint. You're seeing someone." Eugene voice is heard from nowhere.
Saint quickly moves from the embrace of Noah and sees Eugene with his fist clenched and veins bulging in his jerk region.
"Eugene, it's not what it seems."
"Who is he?" Noah asks Saint.
"His my step brother. It's a long story if I should tell now." Saint says
"Come with me right now." Eugene commands.
"Eugene, you need to calm down." Saint tries to explain. "What you saw was just my friend trying to save me from falling."
"Well, it seems it was more than than that."
"And if it was more than that. What are you going to do about it?" Noah challenges Eugene trying to get him more angry.
"What's wrong with you Noah? You're making matters worse." Saint walks towards Eugene. "Come on lets go."
Eugene slaps Saint. Saint falls to the ground feeling the pain on the cheek.
"Eugene! What did I ever do to you to to deserve this? When dad brought you and your family, I welcomed you all with smiles and open arms but this is how you repay me."
"Saint, are you okay?" Noah rushes to Saint's side. Saint just nods as Noah helps him stand.
"You're one sick bastard." Noah says as he places his hand on Eugene's shoulders and presses it slightly.
"Eugene, I'm never coming back home until Moane, Elizabeth and you apologise to me and start treating me like a human being." Saint yells.
Some passerbys are standing looking at the drama unfolding infront of them. Some taking pictures and others recording the drama.
"You're not going anywhere." Eugene tried to raise his hand to stop Saint but he can hardly raise it. He tries to raise it again but nowhere. He looks at Noah who is smirking at him. "What did you do to me?"
"Just something from a martial arts class. Saint lets leave."
Saint and Noah arrive at the mansion. They enter the living room and see Angello combing his hair and Gwen with a white colored book with red and yellow light orbs on the cover page of the book.
"I'm back and Saint's with me."
Saint looks sad as he stares at the floor. He looks at Angello who doesn't seem interested with whoever is standing in front of the living room.
"Saint, can you sit? We need to talk about something very important."
Noah and Saint take their respective seats in the living room.
"Yeah what's wrong?"
"Remember what happened this morning?"
Saint remembers but he doesn't want to talk about it, Instead he nods.
"You had a past life Saint. A very beautiful but tragic one." Noah says. Angello packs his hair at the moment so does Gwen drop her book beside her.
Saint chuckles alittle. "A past life? Yeah right. So how did you know?"
"Because we existed in the same time line as you did years ago." Noah explains. "We five technically four because one of us isn't here at the moment. We were friends at your past life."
"So what happened at this my past life?"
"You were killed. You died trying to protect all of us." Angello replies instead.
