Matthieu was a loyal and devoted person. A Canadian male, with one older American half-brother, who loved him just as much as he loved him. Matthieu loved his mother so much, and she loved him. A bond, a very strong one, was made between Matthieu and his half-brother. At school they would hang out with each other, playing with the small toy soldiers their father had crafted for them after his divorce from their mother. They were too young to know what their mother was going through, and they didn't get an answer whenever they asked why he had left. They wouldn't understand at their age anyway.
Time was going by, Matthieu and his half-brother had grown apart as they found their own friends, the bond slowly breaking between them as his half-brother became colder and more bitter toward his shy and weak brother. His half-brother was hanging out with nasty people, but he didn't know that they were telling him to bully people... He just thought that they were his friends, when really they were not.
One day Matthieu decided to spy on his half-brother and his so-called friends, now they were the age of about fourteen and this 'friendship' between them had gone on for about six years, resulting in the utter collapse of Matthieu and his older half-brother's relationship, he found that they were making his half-brother steal things from the local stores. Unfortunately they found him out, and he was beaten up by his half-brother's 'friends', while he stood by and watched poor Matthieu get kicked and punched on the floor. Eventually they left, bidding goodbye to Matthieu's half-brother. The Canadian rose to his shaky feet, staring at his brother, who stared back with tears in his cerulean hues.
The American half-brother fully realized what he had done, breaking down then and there, while Matthieu comforted him, their bond starting to repair itself.
The next day Matthieu's half-brother had told Matthieu to keep it a secret from his brother, and of course, he did... He didn't break his secrets...
ever.
After a couple more years, Matthieu and his half-brother had finally built back up their relationship, the past forgotten. They had both found a spot that they liked, and they made it their own. It was a small place, with a river flowing through a field of flowers and an old bench underneath the tree. No one had been there in years. They could tell as none of the grass had been trampled on by feet. So they both pledged never to tell anyone about this spot, and each day at the same time they would go to that spot to get away and talk.
That was until one day Matthieu's half-brother told someone about the place, and they told the boys he used to be friends with. That day when Matthieu and his half-brother met up their after a hard day of school, the boys came. Two took Matthieu and pinned him against the tree. His half-brother wasn't going to let his little brother get hurt again, and he tried to stop him, but then they rounded on him...
He was pushed into the river...
Matthieu watched as his brother helplessly grabbed around for an area of land he could get to, but he eventually slipped under the water, bubbles coming up for a few seconds before they stopped.
Tears fell from his eyes as he broke free of the grip they had him in, jumping in after his brother into the river. He tried rescuing the body, but he couldn't find it. He clambered up onto the bank, panting. The boys had fled from the scene...
Later, the police arrested the boys for murder. Matthieu's mother was devastated, and then spent the rest of her days remaining distant from Matthieu. The only time they ever communicated properly was when Matthieu moved out after collage, getting a job at a rather popular café as a waiter and cleaner of the workplace after hours.
He lived in a small apartment block on the top floor, not to far from his workplace. Everyday he walked to work, and then walked back. Though soon, after being at the job a couple of weeks he met a girl. Now this girl had pearly white hair, beautiful crimson eyes. It was almost love at first sight...
He befriended her, the love growing stronger as they slowly got closer. Of course before they had become friends Matthieu had made a few male friends at the workplace. He told them about this girl, one day bringing her in. They got to know her and then she left to go home with the other's, Matthieu staying behind to clean.
Only the next day he found out one of his very friends had started dating the woman.
Heartbroken, Matthieu snapped at him, and then he quit his job in utter anger. The only thing that made him so much more worse, was that they had told her about Matthieu's love... and she rejected him for his best friend!
Of course Matthieu never trusted anyone with his secrets, he had kept so many of his own...
A couple more years later, now he was aged twenty. He had gotten another job as a supervisor during the night hours. He liked this job, and the people seemed to like him. He lightened up a bit to them, but he wasn't ready to tell them anything about his past, or about any secrets...
Matthieu had been deceived twice, he wouldn't be again, right?
Wrong.
After befriending one male, who he trusted completely with the secret of his brother... he found that it was the same boy who had drowned him. That very night Matthieu was murdered, only because Matthieu had fired him for his job for causing him and his mother so much grief.
It was a wrong move...
However, now Matthieu is an angel, and he is proclaimed
Secret Keeper. He knows all secrets, and he vows to keep them... The only ones he is allowed to tell are his own...
But will he tell?
Over the course of event's then he shall leave you to decide that.
