Unlocking The Academy

"Life has many ways of testing a persons will. Either by having nothing happen at all. Or by having everything happen all at once."

(Continuation of Unlocking New Emotion: Doubt.)

Oliver truly hoped he didn't get his hopes set high on a group of five people who had been lying to him. Could their kisses all be false though?

His kiss with Brandon didn't feel fake. Nor did his kiss with Corey or Raven. No those all felt real. They made his knees week, his head spin, and his heart thunder out of his chest. And he hadn't been able to stop thinking of them ever since.

Could there words be a lie?

He didn't think so they were too thoughtful. Oliver had been lied to before but with them, he saw real genuinely and truth. They reenforced him with reassurances

With Kai and Lilith, he blocked it out. Ignored the red flags.

He wasn't sure how to feel about the others. Didn't know what to think. It felt like his whole world turned upside down and he didn't know how to get back to square one.

Or where to go from here.

Was The Academy good or Bad?

Trying to stop Blake had been for the right reasons. Helping Mrs. Gunther and now working to find a little girl. Blake had taken it into his own hands to try and take care of the problem. Maybe that's how the Academy worked as well.

Some things however were sketchy.

He had meant what he said to Blake though. The other's past's...he didn't know how to feel.

If someone looked at his past wouldn't they say he was a bad person?

Everything may not be as...black and white. After all, there was a world full of greys.

Oliver needed the truth. He wanted to give the other's the benefit of the doubt, but before he did that he needed to talk to his dad.

He should have told the man he got involved with the Academy, to begin with. He pulled out his phone calling his dad his mind racing. His heart sank as it rang and rang with no answer. He pulled away running a hand through his hair.

"Fuck." He glanced down at his phone his heart racing.

Joseph didn't answer.

He brought a hand to his mouth why did it all have to be so confusing.

He started moving back into the hotel. Blake had dropped him back off. With promises too keep an eye out for the shorter boy. That he would stay close. Oliver's heart warmed at the thought.

The walk into the hotel was...dreadful. The moment he got back inside he couldn't help but take in a shuttering breathe. Did he wait to ask them things until he talked to his dad? Did he bring it up now?

What was he going to do?

"Oliver!" Marc's voice startled Oliver he had just been getting on the elevator when he spotted Brandon, Marc, and Axel bag's in their hands as they moved towards him.

Oliver moved to put his hand out in the elevator so they could meet him.

His heart was thundering and for a moment he forgot all of it. For a moment he simply looked at them and melted because they had a hold on his heart. He wasn't even sure he realized how strong until he looked at them.
