Electropathic Hearts:
One summer morning Lyle Bennet was sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast. On his right sat his cousin Micah Sanders. Across from the him sat Molly Walker,the daughter of his father's partner Mohinder Suresh.His father's name was Noah Bennet. Noah,his sister Niki Sanders,and Mohinder all worked for The Company. They had all moved in together about two years ago because they thought it would be safer. Lyle and Micah both got along very well with Molly. She was sweet and adorable and they couldnt help but both secretly love her. They did not however get along well with each other. The only thing good about their living together was Molly. Lyle glanced over at Micah who was watching Molly intently. Lyle glared at Micah and then without any warning kicked him hard from under the table. Micah yelled in pain and smacked Lyle hard on the arm. Molly,who say they were about to get into another hitting fight, told them very rudely to stop being stupid and just finish their breakfast. They quietly without arguing her complied. They always did what Molly told them. She was so smart and as far as they were concerned always right. And she was very good at taking charge when she felt she needed to and they were somewhat frightened of what might happen if they upset her. Molly thought that it was quite funny how infatuated the two boy were with her.She smiled to herself. After breakfast Noah told the kids to go outside and play because they had work to do and couldnt have any interuptions. They went into the backyard. Molly sat down under the big oak tree and opened her favorite book. Micah sat on the back porch with his laptop and Lyle tried to play fetch with Mr. Muggles. Mr. Muggles however thought it would be more enjoyable to chew on the hose. Lyle sighed and dropped to ball on the ground. He looked up at the sky. It was very sunny and the clouds looked perfect just hanging there in the big pool of blue. He looked down at his hands and ran electricity through them. Then he glanced over at Mr Muggles and got a sly smile on his face. "Mr. Muggles" he called "here boy" he went over to the dog and picked him up. Then he walked over to the fence. He quickly looked over to make sure neither Molly or Micah was watching. When he saw that they werent he pulled the broken part of the fence apart as far as he could and placed Mr. Muggles inside. Then he pretended to try and pull the dog out. Micah heard Lyle groaning and looked up. "What the.." he saw Mr. Muggles trapped in the fence and rolled his eyes."Stupid Dog." he walked over to the fence to help Lyle out. As soon as Micah hand touched the fence Lyle shoved Mr Muggles out and gave the fence a small jolt of electricity. It sent a shock through Micah's body and he screamed in pain. Niki and Sandra,Lyle's mom, came running out. When Niki saw the burn on Micah's hand she got very angry. She grabbed Lyle and pulled him up to her face. "What is the matter with you?" she screamed. Sandra put her hands on Niki's arm "Niki please! put him down he's just a boy! She said very firmly. Niki frowned and put Lyle down. Lyle breathed a sigh of relief because he thought that his aunt was going to smash him like a cracker. Unfortunately his own mother then grabbed him by the ear and dragged him inside the house. She stopped in front of Noah. "Do you know what your son just did?" Noah shook his head and sighed. "What did he do this time?" he asked. Sandra pushed Lyle towards his father. "Tell him." she commanded. Lyle took in a deep breath and prepared for the worst. "I uh...I tricked Micah into grabbing the fence and then I...I shocked him with electricity." Noah frowned then to his surprise didn't yell but asked "How did you trick him into grabbing the fence?" Lyle hesitated for a moment then answered quietly. "I put Mr. Muggles through the broken part of the fence and Micah thought he was stuck and when he grabbed it to pull him out I shocked him." Noah's glared at Lyle for a second and then out of nowhere bursted into laughter. He laughed so hard that he fell of of the couch and onto the floor. Sandra gave him a horrible look. "Noah! stop it that is not funny!" He tried to stop but couldnt because it was just too funny. Finaly after a few minutes he calmed down and stood up. Sandra glared at him. He stopped smiling and cleared his throat then looked seriously at Lyle. "Son dont do that again. You could have seriously injured your cousin. Now go be good." he patted Lyle gently on the head and smiled as he watched him leave the room. Sandra gave him another look. "What?" he asked. "Go be good? how is that taking care of the problem Noah?" she sounded kind of annoyed so he gave her a cute smile and wrapped his arms around her. Then he kissed her forehead."Dont worry. Lyle is just going through his rebellious stage. all kids do." Sandra shook her head and sighed because she knew he wouldnt give any more than that. Lyle went up to his room and sat on the bed. Then he heard laughing and went over to the window to see what it was.He saw Molly and Micah sitting next to each other watching Niki play with Mr Muggles. She was trying to be funny to make Micah laugh so he would feel better. Neither of them thought she was very funny but it was sweet of her to try so they laughed anyway. Lyle hated that they were having a good time without him. In fact he hated Micah for being so close to Molly. She liked him and that he hated most of all. Lyle wished Molly would notice him. He had reserved his heart for her but she had yet to take it. He would wait for her though. There was no doubt in his mind that she would be his before the end of the summer.
One week later Molly was sitting in the living room watching tv. No one was home except her and Lyle. Lyle was sitting at the top of the stairs watching Molly. She was so pretty he thought. Molly closed her eyes. Lyle walked down the stairs and sat down next to her on the couch. "What are you thinking about?" he asked her sweetly. She opened her eyes and smiled."You." she said softly. He smiled back and then took her hand in his own. She rubbed his fingers as he stroked her hair. "You know you..you still havent answered me." Lyle told her. "Will you now?" he asked. She thought about it for a moment "I dont know its kind of fun torturing you like this." she said laughing. Lyle couldnt help but laugh with her. Her eyes lit up and she placed her hands on his cheeks. "Yes." "yes what?" Lyle asked. "Yes I love you." she replied and Lyle felt his heart soar. He looked into her eyes " I love you too." he told her for the third time. He ran his finger across her cheek. He felt like this was the first time she had heard him say that. She looked back into his eyes. Like a spark of electricity was pulling them together they began to move in closer. They paused briefly and then pressed thier lips together sharing their first kiss. At that very moment the front door opened and Micah stepped into the house. He saw them kissing and felt heart shatter into a million tiny pieces. Molly and Lyle pulled apart and saw Micah standing there. He ran up to his room. Molly looked up at Lyle. She got up to follow Micah but Lyle caught her in his arms instead. "Never mind him." he said softly "He'll be fine." Molly smiled weakly "I hope your right." she said and he hugged her.
A few days later Micah was sitting in his room working on his laptop when he heard a car pull up. He ran to the window. It was the Bennet's van. He was his uncle and his cousins get out of the car. Lyle went over to the front porch and sat down on the swing. Claire and Noah went inside. Micah realized it was the perfect time to confront Lyle alone and ran downstairs. He quitely walked outside to where Lyle was sitting. "We need to talk." he said in a slightly commanding tone. Lyle looked up at Micah and smiled nastily "Oh whatever about?" he asked sarcasticly. "About how you stole my girlfriend." Micah said sounding more annoyed. Lyle stood up "I didnt steal your girlfriend." he said "I simply asked her to be mine and she said yes. As it is plain to see I did nothing to you." Lyle walked off of the porch,across the lawn and started down the sidewalk. Micah ran after him. He grabbed Lyle's arm and turned him around. "Yes you did." Micah said now enraged. "You knew I loved her and you went after her anyway." Lyle pushed Micah off of him "I love her too its not my fault she didnt want you." he said. Lyle tried to walk away again but Micah jumped in front of him to block his path. "She did want me. She told me. She said she loved me." Lyle frowned "Then why did she tell me she loved me? huh why did she kiss me and not you?" he asked getting more and more annoyed with Micah. Micah's face got red and he yelled at Lyle. "I dont know!" "Well I do!" Lyle yelled back "Because she doesnt love you the way she loves me! she only loves you as a friend! now get out of my way!" Micah's face felt hot "No." he said with a very low quiet voice. "Thats not it." Lyle rolled his eyes "Well then what is it?" "She didnt want to hurt your feelings because she already gave me her heart." Lyle frowned "What do you mean gave you her heart?" he asked cautiously. Micah gave Lyle a nasty smile. The same one he had been givin before. "She gave me her flower." Lyle's eyes got wide and he felt his chest tighten. "It was raining and we were all alone in the basement." Lyle's heart sank and he stared forward. She hadnt been thinking about Lyle when she closed her eyes. She had been thinking about Micah. It was him who had been givin only her friendship. That was why she wanted to go after Micah. Why Micah had been so upset when he saw her kissing him. Micah was the one Molly loved. He had won her heart. Lyle backed up his eyes filling with tears. He started breathing heavily as he turned and ran from Micah. He just wanted to get away. So badly to get away. He saw the van parked in the driveway. Without stopping to think he ran and climbed into the drivers seat. He gave the car a jolt of electricity to start it. He started down the street. His head down and staring at the wheel. He could believe how stupid he had been to think she would ever love him. Molly was walking down the sidewalk on the left side of the street. She lived on the right side so she decided to cross. She looked around to make sure no cars where coming. The street was very wide so it would take some time to cross. When she saw there were no cars she began to cross. Lyle stopped breathing for half a second and then screamed with rage. He threw his fists at the steering wheel and pushed his foot all the way down on the gas. The car speed up excedingly. Molly heard a sound coming. Not stopping she looked up. Just in time to be hit by a speeding van. Lyle looked up and it was like it happened in slow motion. He saw Molly. Molly saw Lyle. But it was too late. Just as their eyes met. The van slammed into Molly. Lyle felt his heart stop beating.
The ambulance came and took an unconsious and badly injured Molly to the hospital. Lyle didnt have a scratch. He sat in the waiting room along with his family and Molly's father. Lyle looked over at Mohinder. His face was white as a ghost and he looked as though all the life had been sucked out of him. He saw lyle and met his eyes with a glare. The kind that said if she dies so will you. Lyle stared down at his knees. Micah sat in his mother's lap looking scared to death. He was blaming himself for telling Lyle about what happened between him and Molly. It had been stupid of him to want Lyle to suffer like that. Then he blamed Lyle for being stupid enough to steal a car.He glared at Lyle. He hated him. If she died he would never forgive him. Lyle couldn't think of anything except what he had seen. Molly's eyes. Her big beautiful eyes that he had once loved to stare at now haunted his mind. He had seen them just as he hit her. Why had he taken the car? He wished that he had just left Micah alone. He looked over at his cousin who was still glaring at him.This was the worst thing he had ever done. He felt Noah's hand land gently on his shoulder. Lyle couldnt bear to look at his father and stared at his knees again. The doctors stood over Molly. They had done everything they could but it hadnt been enough. The monitor she was connected to flatlined. Nothing remained of the little girl. There was no sound except the high noise the monitor made. One of the doctors turned it off. He sighed. Then feeling somewhat defeated walked out into the waiting room. Everyone looked up at him. He shook his head. "Im so sorry for your loss." Mohinder fell to his knees on the floor and Noah dropped down and wrapped himself around him. Mohinder cried in his friends arms as Noah tried to comfort him with sweet words. Niki held Micah who was devestated. Claire cried into her mothers arms. Lyle just sat there. Emotionless. No tears came. He stood up and walked towards the door where Molly's body was. "Hey you cant go in there!" The doctor called. Lyle stopped at the door. Everyone stared silently crying. He looked over at them and gave them a sad look. Then he went through the door. He walked over to the table. He looked down into her cold dead face. She was lifeless. He felt like he was too. He brushed her hair from her face and bent down to her ear. "Im so sorry Molly." Tears rolled down his face as he spoke. "I love you." he pressed his lips against her cheek. Then he stood up and left the building.
A few days after the tragic accident everyone stood motionless at Molly's funeral. They listened as Mohinder gave the eulogy. Tears were many and every heart was filled with sorrow at the loss of the little girl. When it was time to say goodbye Lyle stood at the casket looking down at the body of the girl he had killed. He didnt speak. He couldnt. He placed a white rose into her fingers. "I love you." he whipered into her ear one last time and he walked over to a tree. After the funeral everyone went back to the house. Noone had spoken to Lyle since the hospital. He hadnt said a word since except to whisper his love into the dead girl's ear. Later that day they went to visit Molly one last time at the graveyard. Micah ran to her grave and looked sadly down at the tombstone. Niki wrapped herself around him. Tears rolled down his cheeks. "Goodbye Molly." was all he could manage to say. Lyle stood afar back with his mother next to him. His heart broken and his soul bleeding. They went home. Everyone went into the living room except Lyle who stopped near the stairs and stared off. Micah turned and saw him standing there and became enraged he walked over to him.
Micah and Lyle stood opposite of each other. Micah glared at Lyle with hatred in his eyes. "Your a murderer!" he yelled. Lyle ran at him but Micah knocked him backwards. Sandra and Niki came running in. They each pulled their son back and held them tight. "I hate you!" Micah screamed at Lyle who looked as though he would cry. Micah tried to pull out of his mother's arms but she held too tight. "Its your fault she's dead!" Lyle didnt say anything he just stood there looking guilty as his mother held him. Micah began to cry. Lyle stood there with sorrow in his eyes looking back at Micah then he ran upstairs. "Lyle" Sandra called but Lyle didnt stop. "Let him go." Micah said harshly. As Lyle walked to his room he heard Micah and stopped. "he doesnt deserve to be comforted." Micah continued. "He killed Molly." He pause for a moment. " I wish he was dead too!" He shoved himself into Niki and cried heavily. Niki didnt know what to say to her heartbroken son. Lyle's eyes filled with tears and he sunk down on the floor next to his bed. He couldnt help but wish the same thing. He looked up and saw the picture of him and Molly on his nightstand. He lifted it to his chest and hugged it Tears flooded down his face. "Im so sorry Molly." He could hardly breath. The pain he felt was so intense. He wished he could make it go away but an instant later he saw a flash of Molly's body in the casket and instead wished he could have died with her. He cried harder. Why hadnt he? Why did he live when she died for no reason? His heart beat faster as he became angrier. He turned and saw his reflection in the mirror on his door. Lyle stood up and glared at himself. "I hate you! he screamed at the top of his lungs and he threw his fist into the mirror shattering it. Lyle fell to the ground. His face tear streaked. He balled up his bloody fist and pounded the floor. His mother banging on the door."Lyle!" He didnt answer her. She called him a few more times but she finally realized he wasnt going to and left him alone. Alone. Thats what he was. And he felt he would be forever. He had killed the only person he had ever loved. He sat up slowly. He looked into the shattered mirror. His eyes were so sad he couldnt stand to look at them. He looked down at the floor and saw the broken pieces of the mirror. He reached over to a large piece of broken glass and lifted it with his fingers. He glanced up at the picture of Molly one last time. "Im so sorry." he said again and then without hesistating he lifted the broken glass and shoved it through his heart.
