Kiaran's Interlude : Part 2

It was his fourteenth birthday. Kiaran had just turned fourteen when he found out the ugly truth.

He sat in front of the house, staring at the empty street with a hollow daze. Axel used to sit here all the time until he fell asleep. Kiaran would be the one who brought the boy to his room before Axel could freeze to death.

Kiaran knew he had forgotten about his friend's promise and had been shoving down Cain and Adeanna's promises. The word 'wait for me' had become taboo for him.

But somehow, his body kept moving by itself. He unwantedly still participated in many plays, creating so many shows in his school years. A show that Cain would probably like. He would also still wait for Adreanna on his birthday like a fucking loser.

Like right now.

The young boy hugged himself, ignoring how cold the weather was. Kiaran had been waiting for the whole day, he even skipped school just to see if Adreanna would ever come for his birthday.
