"After that, everything went in a blur and now here I am" I said exhaustedly. I told Damien. I actually told him.

I look up at him and his eyes hold a sad stance in them with a mix of anger and guilt.

"How long is his sentence Princess?" he looked at me.

I couldn't stand it, the look of pity, the thought of someone knowing I'm vulnerable. I hate it.

I looked away, "10 years in prison"

"Hey, look at me" he took my hand in his as I looked up,"You are the strongest person I know, and I am honoured, so damn honoured, to have you open up to me. Sydney, no one will hurt you anymore, I promise"

I allowed the tears I was holding back to flow freely with what he said. I wrap myself around him, quickly closing any space there is between us and sob softly into his neck.

"Thank you Damien" I said in between sobs, "For not judging me"

"I'd do anything for you Princess, anything"

"Can you please tell me where we're going on Saturday?!" I yelled at Damien.

We went to my house and he's currently sitting on my bed, playing with the ends of my hair. There is proximity of course...little..but it's there.

"Nope, it's a surprise, but if you're asking because of your outfit choice, then I suggest you wear something casual" He retorted.

"What if my idea of casual is a ball gown huh?" I challenged him.

"Says the girl that can't walk in heels" He snorted and sat up.

Oh no he didn't.

I grabbed the nearest pillow and chucked it at him, "HA! Take that!"

He turned to me with a look of surprise, then suddenly his features darkened, "Oh it's on!"

He grabbed two pillows and threw them at my face. I lost my balance and fell back but quickly got back up and hurled one at him which led to him falling flat on his butt.

I burst out laughing as hard as I can, unbeknownst to me, he'd already recomposed himself and had a pillow in his hand.

"Uh oh" Was all I could say.

"Indeed" He smirked and threw the pillow at my face again and this time I fell down unto the bed.

Damien jumped unto the bed and hovered over me. He inched his face closer to mine and started trailing down all the way to my neck. I would be lying if I said he wasn't affecting me, because he truly was. He trailed back up to my ear level and landed a quick peck on it.

"I win" And with that he got off the bed.

I relaxed into the bed, suddenly feeling hot. Who turned off the AC?

I got off the bed as well, "Lemonade?"

"Yes please" He looked at me with his devious smirk, he knows what he does to me and he enjoys it.

We got out of my room and walked to the kitchen where we were greeted by Martha and a face I had missed so much,

"Aaronnnn?!" I yelled and his face lit up.

"Sydieeee!!!" he ran into my arms and I have him the biggest bear hug ever.

Before mom and Gerald got married it was only her, Aaron and I. Mom was barely around back then, she did a 6 to 10 job, so it was Aaron and I.
We had that inseperable sibling bond that no one seemed to understand . One day away from each other and we're miserable.

"Who are you?" Aaron said approaching Damien.

"That's Damien" I said and walked closer to them,"Damien, Aaron, Aaron, Damien"

"You're her boyfriend, hm?" Aaron interrogated. He might be young but he is definitely one of the brightest kids I know.

But right now, I really want to dim that brightness.

"Not yet" Damien said and looked at me.

Not yet?

"Uhh okay, do you want Lemonade too shortie?" I said and he nodded his head.

"You should've seen the woods Sydie, it was sooo green and we saw a lion, like the ones from my video games!" I listened and poured out three glasses of Lemonade.

"Sounds great kid, maybe one day you and I could go to the woods" I suggested and he gave me his megawatt smile.

"Can Mommy and Gerald come?" I nodded my head at him, "Can Damien come?"

My head shot up so fast I almost choked on the Lemonade. I went into a coughing hysterics whilst Damien poured a glass of water for me and patted my back softly. I drank it down in one gulp and composed myself.

"All better?" Damien asked and I nodded.

"Sorry that caught me off guard, I don't know why I reacted like that" I explained, "Damien would you like to come?"

He looked at me intently before replying, "I'd love to"

"Good because I don't wanna be the only boy there when Sydie's talking about all her girly stuff which will make me want to vomit because girls are yucky!" Aaron said. Sometimes I don't know where he gets it from.

I glared at him playfully and he laughed.

"Sure, I'll bring a football and we can kick it a few times, how's that sound?" Damien suggested.

"Cool idea!" Aaron drank the last of his Lemonade and left.

Damien turned to me and smirked, "He loves me, I can feel it, you know, I was almost worried, you and Chloe instantly hit it off  and it got me thinking, would your little brother and I do same? But with the way he approached me, I felt like it was a lost cause till I said football. Now I feel like I just scored. Pun intended"

"You're unbelievable" I laughed and shook my head at him.

****Author's note*****
I have major, MAJOR writer's block. I'm not going to judge any wattpad author for late updates ever again!!
