Chapter 44
David's POV
We were still at school when I got a text from Dana. Thank goodness it's last period. I check it to see that Dana had sent me a short but thorough text. I waved at Cole quickly before pointing at my phone, careful that the teacher wouldn't catch me. Cole raised an eyebrow but I just mouthed Dana's name to him. He nodded and made a gesture to wait until class was over. After class we got to ether with Angela and Gabe.
"What's up?" Gabe asked.
"Dana texted me, he says that we should come right after school." I said and felt a buzzing in my pocket again. I took it out and read the text quickly over. "He also said Ella left two hours ago."
The others nod and we all head to Cole's car, Gabe's was in repair currently. Turns out there was a giant dent from when Knoche crashed into us yesterday. He brought it to the repair shop after his date with Alex. Cole was excited when he realized he got to drive now instead of Gabe. Honestly, I need to get my own car. If I'm ever going to get Will back and say what I've, uh ok stop thinking about that. If I don't then I'll tell everyone.
"David? You okay?" Angela asked, suddenly. Oh, I guess I subconsciously got into the car and buckled up. Alright.
"Yeah, I'm good." I smiled, genuinely.
"Okay, you just seemed a bit out of it there. Guess I'm overreacting a lot these days. I know I should be happy because I got my boyfriend back but I just feel bad." Angela sighed
"Honestly, you shouldn't need to feel that way. We're going to get them back and kick some ass on the way." Angela laughed at my comment and soon we pulled up into Ella's house.
"Dana! It's us! Open up!" Cole said, knocking on the door with a fast and loud pace.
"I'm coming!" Dana's voice was muffled by the door but we still heard it. He opened the door and ushered us inside. Gabe didn't follow.
"Wait guys." Gabe said. We all turned and looked at him funny. "Dana how's your brother doing by the way?"
Brother? Dana has a brother? I didn't know that, I mean I don't talk about my sister much but still.
"Uh, legit or metaphorically? Cause if legit, dude I don't have a brother, you of all people should know that but if metaphorically then you guys would have to answer cause you're my bros." Dana answered, what? Now I'm confused, and apparently so is Dana.
"Ok good, I was just making sure you weren't a- Cody, y'know?" Gabe breathed in relief.
Oh, now see, that makes much more sense. Dana nodded and looked like he understood. Well, I think everyone who would know what we've been through would, Gabe was the one who basically had his identity stolen after all.
We went inside quickly and I locked the door behind us. Not because I'm evil, just because I don't want burglars. We went to the kitchen and waited in silence until Angela decided that she would speak first.
"So, what did you need us for so urgently anyways?" She asked
"Right, okay. Well I'll show you. Just come on." We followed Dana to the living room where a television was.
We watched him play around with the remote control before he finally landed on what I assume he was looking for. It was a news report that had been recorded from earlier. I looked towards Dana for some kind of context but he waved me off and pointed to the screen. He pressed a button to start playing the story.
"A sad incident it was. A Junior student committed suicide earlier today in front of a large group of people. He killed himself with a knife, stabbed himself straight into the heart. The family will need some time to grieve but we are not sure exactly why he had killed himself. According to his siblings he was the more spoiled of the family. There is a rumour that yesterday a boy had jumped him, though. Punched him until he passed out. Some say that might be one of the things that led to his decision. But whatever the reason, the boy, Tommy VanShaw, will be missed." I didn't even hear the reporter sign off because Cole started to choke and cough.
He had been drinking water just as they had said Tommy's name. Wait, Tommy. Tommy killed himself. No, that can't be right. Tommy wouldn't, somebody must've made him do it. Cole was still coughing and I heard a thumping. Gabe had started to pat Cole's back to try and get him to stop. When Cole finally composed himself he took a deep breath and started to speak.
"H-he killed himself, because of me?" Cole asked
"Oh please, the news is almost never right. They try to find a story, somewhere. Even if you hadn't jumped him I bet he still would've died today." Angela snorted.
"Wow, I can feel the sympathy coming off of you." I said sarcastically, and the reply was a punch to the arm. "Ouch, that hurt."
"Oh really? That totally wasn't the reason I did it in the first place." Angela glared.
"Guys, can you stop please?" Dana asked, frustratedly. Angela was turning towards him with the same glare on her face when Dana widened his eyes and leaned down to where Angela was sitting and planted a kiss on her head. "Love you still."
"Duh." Angela flipped her hair and smiled.
"But in all seriousness. Cole it isn't your fault. But I bet you it was someone who's name starts with a C." I said
"Are you sure? 'Cause-" Cole started but was interrupted.
"No Cole, you will not beat yourself up about this. It's not worth it, trust me I learnt the hard way." Gabe patted Cole's back again, but more affectionately this time.
"Well, what now?" I ask.
We turn to Dana for some reason. He's staring at the television screen and you could see the exact moment he saw something.
"I know where Will and Dalton are." Dana grinned.
