The Dark Secret
A/n: Sorry for the long wait, I have been very busy with a bunch of other stories, and mainly with my work life which kind of sucks right now.
Jake's POV
Ever since the incident happened, Y/n and Neylei have been very distant from each other, and Y/n hasn't been himself since. Ever since my daughter Kiri told me what happened the other night things have not been going great.
My kids have not been able to spend time with Y/n because he has been avoiding everyone ever since the other day. Y/n wouldn't speak to anyone, he's not the same person he was weeks ago, and now he's just a silent man in a shell.
Right now everyone was in the hood alongside Y/n.
Jake: "Y/n we need to talk."
He didn't say anything almost like he was ignoring me. I about had it with what was going on and I was going to put it into it right now.
Jake: "Y/n you need to tell me what's going on. Look I get it you don't want Neylei to know about your past and respectfully I understand that but I don't want you and Neylei's relationship to end like this."
Everyone in the room was now looking at both me and him. Neytiri was even staring at the Spartan as he didn't even turn to look at us. He was silent as I was speaking but I knew he could hear me. So I press on it again talking even more.
Jake: "I may not know what happened to you in your past and it's not if my business to know. If you don't want to talk about your dad I respect that and I-"
Before I could speak any further he interrupted me.
Y/n: "My father hated me..."
Jake: "Uhh What?"
The Spartan slowly turns around and looks at me and repeats what he just said.
Y/n: "My father hated me..."
The room fell silent as no one talked after what he just said. Everyone in the room was very curious on what he meant by that
Neteyam: "What do you mean your father hated you?"
Y/n didn't say anything and slowly turned away from us. He didn't say anything for a few minutes which everyone in the room grew concerned.
Jake: "Y/n... I can't help you if you don't let me."
He still doesn't say anything and I was about to give up on trying to help him. Before I could turn away I heard him slightly speak again.
Y/n: "I wasn't born loved by my father because of my mother's death."
Everyone in the room was now listening to him as he started to talk about his past.
Y/n: "Before I was born the doctors told my mother she only had a few months left to live before she'll pass away. So when I was born she only had 3 months left to live and when those 3 months were up she passed away and my father was left to take care of me and my sister Trudy."
The kids spoke softly and very quietly but I kept silent and listened to what he had to say.
Y/n: "I barely remember my mother but as soon as she passed that's when my father changed. He began to treat my sister better than me and started training her. Whatever I try to get his attention he would beat me or even start screaming at me."
As I was listening the more he talked the more I learned how sad his life was and how terrible his story had.
Y/n: "One night my father was drunk and I was awake wanting to get a drink of water I guess he heard me and saw what I was doing. He runs at me and starts beating me. I was begging him to stop but he didn't care and just kept going and yelling harsh full things at me.
By the sound in his voice it sounded like he was about to cry.
Y/n: "he shouted at me saying it's all my fault that everything that happens is all my fault. He raises his belt again and he was about to hit me I cowered in fear and held my head preparing for the worse. Next thing I know a lot of bang was heard that echoed throughout the whole apartment. When I looked my father was on the ground with the hole in his head."
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear what he just said. His father was killed for abusing him but who killed his father?
Y/n: "I looked up the song Trudy holding a gun and I realized that she was the one that shot him. I don't remember if I was crying or screaming or if I pissed myself but the next thing I know me and Trudy are outside the apartment and running towards her car and I don't know what happened."
I was shocked to hear this. I never knew that Y/n's father was an abusive person nor did I knew Trudy's brother was abused. Now I understand why he doesn't talk about his father and he has a very good reason on why.
Kiri: "What else do you remember?"
He didn't respond or even looked at her.
Y/n: "When we left the apartment we took off and didn't look back. She was now technically my legal guardian. I can't remember where we went but we were approached by the RDA and they were offering my sister a position for the RDA as a pilot. Trudy told them she wasn't interested because she didn't want to leave me behind. Then they offered to take me with her but I would have had to be monitored the whole way. She then agreed and then we were taken to the ship. The RDA took me but they were monitoring me the whole way we were traveling 5 years to Pandora."
During the time he spoke I learned that Trudy did not want to work with the RDA because she wanted to take care of her little brother.
Y/n: "Once we got here, everyone was staring at me, including Colonel Quaritch who seemed very interested in me. I know exactly why everyone was staring at me and I didn't question it. When we were alone, Quaritch spoke with us and he said that he was going to train me to where no one can hurt me, and Trudy was holding on to me the whole time he was talking to us. I guess he found out what happened and what she did and saw a reason why she did what she did. After that you should all know the rest."
The whole room was completely silent, no one in the hut dared to speak, not even Neytiri had anything to say. Now we know why Y/n doesn't talk about his past and now we see why he is the way he is.
Y/n: "Now that Trudy is gone... I have no one..." He said as he started to cry.
Jake: "Y/n... You're not the only one who's lost someone who's close to you."
I walked over and sat next to him but he still didn't look at me.
Jake: (Sigh) "Back when I was on Earth before I came to Pandora, I didn't have a family."
I can tell the Spartan was listening to me because his head slightly turned.
Jake: "Even my last family member my brother Tom Sully died before he could even come here and with that I was all alone."
The boy then looks at me now with a shock looked on his face. Me and him were slightly similar and some ways.
Jake: "I had no one, no one to turn to or anyone to rely on for help, so I was all on my own. I did anything I could to make money to make ends meet. It was hard for the first few years but I was able to survive a lot on my own. Then the RDA approached me after I heard about my brother's desth and they asked me to take his place."
I looked at the Spartan to see now that he was actually looking at me. And I can see the tears in his eyes from him telling us his backstory.
Jake: "When I got here I was still alone before I started a meeting everyone."
Y/n: "How did your brother die?" He asked.
I looked at him before sighing and look directly into the Spartans eyes.
Jake: "He was being robbed for the paper in his wallet but I guess he tried to put up a fight. They never found who killed him and I was devastated. Even after his death I still didn't give up and I kept pressing forward."
Y/n slowly turns away from me and probably start to realizing he's not the only one that lost anyone.
Jake: "Y/n... You're not the only one that's lost I love one we all have."
The Spartan slowly gets up and puts his helmet on and begins to walk towards the entrance of the hut.
Spider: "Where are you going?"
Y/n: "I just... need some air and some time to myself."
After that he walks out of the hut, leaving everyone in the Hut with unanswered questions, and some answered.
Y/n POV
Once I left the hut, I walked down to the far side of the beach to make sure no one was near me, and once I knew I was far enough I sat on a rock and just stared off into the water. I just watched the waves coming in and splash against the sand.
I found it somewhat peaceful and comforting. Even after telling them about my past still didn't make me feel any better.
Slowly I took off my helmet and set it down next to me on the rock. Then I looked up and stared into the night sky before slowly I began to sing to myself.
Y/n: "Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
I let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointment
Doing everything I can
I don't wanna make you disappointed
It's annoying
I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did
Was never tryna make an issue for you
But I guess the more you thought about everything
You were never even wrong in the first place, right?
Yeah, I'ma just ignore you, walking towards you
With my head down, lookin' at the ground, I'm embarrassed for you
Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you
Very loyal? Shoulda had my back but you put a knife in it
My hands are full, what else should I carry for you?
I cared for you, but
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
Yeah, you don't wanna make this work
You just wanna make this worse
Want me to listen to you
But you don't ever hear my words
You don't wanna know my hurt, yet
Let me guess
You want an apology, probably
How can we keep going at a rate like this?
We can't, so I guess I'ma have to leave
Please don't come after me
I just wanna be alone right now, I don't really wanna think at all
Go ahead, just drink it off
Both know you're gonna call tomorrow like nothing's wrong
Ain't that what you always do?
I feel like every time I talk to you
You're in an awful mood
What else can I offer you?
There's nothing left right now, I gave it all to you
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
Yeah, don't talk down to me
That's not gonna work now
Packed all my clothes and I moved out
I don't even wanna go to your house
Everytime I sit on that couch I feel like you lecture me
Eventually, I bet that we could have made this work
And probably woulda figured things out
But I guess I'm a letdown
But it's cool, I checked out
Oh, you wanna be friends now?
Okay, let's put my fake face on and pretend now
Sit around and talk about the good times
That didn't even happen
I mean, why are you laughing?
Must have missed that joke let me see if I can find a reaction
No, but at least you're happy
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Oh, I let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
And I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
Oh, let you down
Yeah, I'm sorry
I'm so sorry now
Yeah, I'm sorry
That I let you down..."
After I was done singing I just stared out into the ocean. Tears started to well up in my eyes as I slowly began to cry.
Y/n: "Trudy... I'm sorry..."
Third Person POV

Neylei: "I'm sorry... Y/n."she cried and she walked away.
