Man in Black

17. betrayal!.

I couldn't take it anymore I was hurt beyond imagination I wanted to get out of here. I started walking towards my car when I saw Duncan's car pull up he walked out of it with a worried expression.

“ what's wrong baby girl? ” he asked. One thing I learned as I stayed with my parents is to never express my feelings because no one would care so I  did the same here. 

“ no nothing,” I said smiling. But he did not buy it. He was just looking at me like he was trying to read my mind. I broke the silence.

“ hmm, I am heading home, you can huh join them they are still there ok,” I said trying to walk past him. He held my hand gently pulling me towards him. Making me stand right in front of him as he leaned against the hood of his car. He pulled me in a hug catching me off guard.

I felt calm.
I felt relaxed.
I wasn't lonely anymore.

I hugged him back he tensed up for a second but immediately relaxed. He did not expect that and neither did I, but nowadays my body wasn't in my control so here I was hugging him.

“ would you like to tell me,” he said so gently that I couldn't keep it. I burst out in tears hugging him even tighter in that process, as I leaned on him.

“ Am I  that unloveable? Why does everyone hate me? Even the people I trust the most don't trust me back? What did I ever do? ” I said sobbing, trying to look at him but was a little difficult because of our height difference.

He gently ran his hand through my hair mumbling sweet nothings into my ears trying to calm me down.

“ you know I and Lexi have been best friends for our entire lives, I tell her everything like every single thing she crystal, Damon are just like my family huh don't I deserve a little truth,” I said he gently rubbed the tears that ran against my cheeks.

“ and Andrew he calls himself my brother and he hid the most important part of his life from me, I am never going to believe them again, I hate them, and all their fake promises of being with me, and never hurt me,” I said placing my head on his chest.

“ they are mean you know, I always knew it they never thought I am a part of their group, I should have become friends with that Ukrainian kid I guess, at least I would have got to eat him yummy pasta, that's why you should think Alicia think,” I said playing with his tie.

“ you know what though they did all this to me I still love them, I cannot imagine my life without them,” I said looking at his deep blue eyes as they looked back at me.

“ I know this may all sound like a childish thing, I may sound so stupid but you know my whole life they were my number one priority, and when you don't get that back in return it hurts,” I said holding back the tears that threatened to fall.

“ Duncan?” I said moving a little so I could look at him.

“ Hmm,” he said as he brushed away strands of hair that were on my face.

“ Am I that bad, do you feel I would ruin your happiness? , can you trust me? Am I not worth it? I will ... I will never ruin your happiness ” I said as a fresh bunch of tears fell on my cheeks.

He hugged me tightly “ you have no idea, what you're worth my love, your not the one to ruin anyone's happiness, your the reason for everyone's happiness. You are my baby girl, my love,” he said placing a kiss on my head. I couldn't think anything I just wanted to stay like this in his comfort as he said soothing things.

We stayed there for what felt like hours in each other's presence. I moved away from a little but Duncan had his hands around my waist in a protective manner as I turned to look at my friends. Who greeted Duncan who just nodded his head in reply.
