#Chapter 27: Frightful Feelings 

Something’s wrong when Cynthia walks in the cinema doors

I joke all the time about her being a deer in headlights. This time, she actually looks the part, visibly shaking and unsteady on her feet as she stumbles in

Cynthia?” 

She looks up at me, hazel eyes swimming

As I approach her, I catch a whiff of an unusual smell

Cynthia usually smells like old cotton, lavender soap, and a faint hint of lilac. There’s also my smell on her. I’ve hugged and held her enough that it’s stuck, however faintly

But there’s something new there. Something likefog, maybe

It’s faint, but the fact it’s there and it’s unusual… 

I take a hold of her arm

C’mon, twig legs, you need to sit.” 

She doesn’t tell me to shut up or punch me playfully. In fact, I don’t think my comment even registers to her. My teeth clench in worry, getting us a seat on a nearby bench

Len and Cynthia’s friend, Hailey, come over

Cynthia? What happened? You alright?Hailey asks in quick succession. I watch as she 

takes a hold of her hands

This seems to help her snap out of her daze, gazing up at Hailey

#Chapter 27. Frightful Feelings 

UhmI almossst. Got. Hit by a car.” 

My heart feels like it freezes in my chest

+25 Bonus 

Hah, what? Did you look both ways?I ask, wrapping my arm around her as I pull her in

Yeah,she answers seriously. It justPolice sirens. An officer sssstarted chasing them. After almossst hitting me. Got pulled out the way by a big guy.” 

UhLen, large and softspoken, looks toward the front doors to the cinema. Was that the revving sound we heard?” 

Len and Hailey blanch when she nods. I pull her in closer without thinking about it

Huhwell. Police’ll handle that. You’re good now, though. Ease up, ease upYou know, I’m gonna stop joking about you being a deer in headlights from now on. I think it’s becoming a selffulfilling prophecy. How aboutdeer on ice?” 

Cynthia turns to me and gives me an unamused glare, so I grin back

She’s reacting. Good. I don’t like how fear looks on her face

As I continue, Hailey’s cedar smell gets stronger. A glance toward her shows her smiling at me in a weird way. She seems satisfied for some reason, speaking up

How about drama deer? Adds a little alliteration to it.” 

Oooh, that’s a good one.” 

Len doesn’t join in, standing nervously as he watches Cynthia’s expression shift into exhausted resignation. Still, this Hailey girl’s not bad at coming up with funny names

We chill out here for a bit, calming our hearts

#Chapter 27: Frightful Feelings 

+25 Bonus 

I keep rubbing my hand over the place I smell that foggy scent, covering it with my own

The movie was pretty cool! Without the Hollywood restraints, they could get super mental and psychological and stuff. The directors didn’t have much of a budget, but they made up for it with good acting

Len and Hailey hit it off well, with Hailey being patient with his silent nature. Even when they lapse into silence, it’s only a little uncomfortable. I could see that going away in the 

future

So, uh, do you want to go eat somewhere?Hailey asks all of us

It’s clear she only wants to go with Len, glancing over at him for a response

No, I’m okay,Cynthia hums

Yeah, me, too. I’m gonna get twig legs home.” 

She baps my arm as I snicker

I could eat,Len finally replies

Aaah, I see. He likes Hailey back. He smiled more when we said we wouldn’t be going

Great! Well, I’ll see you guys tomorrow then! And Cynthia, text me when you get home

okay?” 

Once they walked off to find a place to eat, I start herding Cynthia over to the little parking 

area behind the cinema

What are you”

#Chapter 27: Frightful Feelings 

Oh, you thought I was joking? Hah, nope. No more public transportation for you,” 

But my carrrsscar. Is. At the parrrking by the trolley stop near me.” 

Eh, don’t worry bout it. You can give me your car keys and I’ll handle it

$25 Bonus 

As we get to my car, I hear someone else walking nearby. It’s not as though we’re backed in a totally dark or alone area, so I’m not worried about it

But when I smell that foglike scent coming in stronger, I do stiffen up

Alex?” 

Though, I find myself relaxing quickly after

Agh, Hell. I really should’ve recognized it was him before

Oh, hah. I thought that was you.” 

Cynthia startles slightly at the voice, clearly recognizing it. Both she and I turn around to see my older brother

He’s bigger and just slightly taller than I am. His eyes have more amber in them than mine do, and his skin’s a tad darker than mine. He grins at us, all dimples and white teeth

Hey Alex, fancy seeing you here.” 

Ugh, of course you’d sneak up on me!” 

Despite my fussing, we grab each other’s hand and dap, patting each other’s backs. Yup. That foggy smell I know well

It was him all along. Though, maybe I didn’t recognize it because it was so faint on Cynthia. Besides, he’s not supposed to be on this side of townbut if he wasn’t…

I give him an extra squeeze before parting, and he glances at me curiously, Though, I see his eyebrows rise once he sees Cynthia, realizing what I was thanking him for 

Oh, it’sss you,Cynthia says, coming up to us, You’re the one who pulled me from the 

street.” 

I’m a bit surprised she knows that. Most humans lose track of almost everything when they get panicked. Though, I guess my brother’s a bit hard to forget once you meet him

Cynth, this is my big bro, Michael, Mikey, Cynthia,” 

It’sss nice to meet you.” 

She smiles one of those little genuine smiles she does, enough to make her bottom eyelids shift up. It’s very cute

Well, I was already glad to help. But I’m even happier knowing I helped save my brother’sHe glances at me. Girlfriend?” 

I mean, we’re just covering for each other. But… 

Yeah, she’s my girlfriend,I reply, moving back over and hugging her

Cynthia gives me a slightly surprised look, her cheeks turning a cute shade of red

Oh, how nice! How about I treat the lovely couple then?Michael nods his head back toward the main street. Let’s hang out at a diner, yeah?” 

Well, hey, no reason to refuse free food

We’re eight years apart. I turn 26 in August.”

#Chapter 27 Pright Feelings 

Oh! Do you have the sssame mom, orrrah, sorry if that’s-” 

+25 Bonus 

No worries, no worries. Yeah, he and I have the same mom. We were just born a ways apart is all.” 

Oooh, I see. It must be nisssnice. I’m an only child.” 

Believe me, there’s some relief in that!” 

Cynthia and I sit on one side of the booth in this allday breakfast and lunch place while Michael sits on the other. Despite him and I being brothers and me kinda having questions for him, he and Cynthia have been chatting constantly

Like, nonstop even

It’s quite different from how she first talked to me

She’s laughing when he tells a joke rather than getting irritated, and my brother’s smile is bright as ever. There’s an ease to her that took me a while to unravel, but he does it in one 

day

It makes me feel strangely uncomfortable. In fact, aren’t we out here today just cause she wanted to hook up her friend with one of mine

I’m in drama club at sssschool.” 

Oh, neat. Do you work behind the scenes or are you an actor?” 

Before she answers, I huff

I wouldn’t say she’s gotten that far.” 

Both Michael and Cynthia go quiet. Immediately, I want to stomp on my own foot

When I glance at her, she’s staring at me, her smell twinging with sour upset

Goddamnit

Gonna piss, be right back.” 

I slide out the booth and head to the bathroom, the silence following me all the way there. I know I’m running away after causing problems, and it makes me irritated that I’m doing 

that

I don’t actually need to pee, so I just stop and wait in the nook area by the bathrooms. I’m sure Mikey knows I’m not in there, but he still speaks up

Hey, you alright?” 

Ihm. No.” 

I flinch

Fuck
