Addicted To Love 3: Five x Zero

48- Stutter

This chapter reminds me of this song-

"Stutter" by Marianas Trench

Zero's POV:

8 minutes.... come on..... I hear something and I quickly stop in my tracks looking at Five.... he looks at me as well.... we turn our attention to the noise..... it's Klaus.....Klaus! He made it! I gasp walking forward... "Klaus you made it!" He shakes and stumbles forward..... I take a step back looking at Five.... "What's wrong with him?" I whisper out and I hear Five scuff... I look at him and he walks away still pacing around....he's still worried about the others.... I turn my attention back to Klaus and help him sit down against the dumpster..... "Klaus what happened?" I ask and his whole body rattles and shakes... "I'm not Klaus... I'm Ben" He says and I gasp a bit.... I reach out moving his hair out of his face and he smiles slightly.... I pluck a lotus out of my hair and hand it to Klaus/Ben.... he shakily smiles and takes it as I hear running..... I quickly stand up as Luther comes running into the alleyway..... "Luther" Five says exhaling out.... Luther scuffs crossing his arms.... "Where are the others?" He says leaning back on the wall.... I look from Luther to Five.... Five runs his hands through his hair..... "They have to be here.... they have to...." He looks at his watch.... I can tell by his furrowed lines in his forehead that it's not good.... I stand up and lean against the dumpster next to Klaus/Ben..... it's silent.... it's tense.... it's horrible....

Five growls as he looks at his watch than the alleyway again.... "FUCK!" he screams as he tosses the briefcase in the air.... I watch as it disappears in a blue portal.... I feel my heart sink as it leaves..... leaves without us..... that was our way home..... we made a deal for this.... this was our chance.... "How did Klaus get here before they did! How did they not show!" Five starts his voice getting louder and louder..... It snaps me out of my thoughts as I look at him.... "They didn't fucking show! After all of that!" He runs his hands through his hair more as he starts pacing around more and more..... I watch as Luther rolls his eyes and steps over Klaus leaving..... I want to stop him but why should I...... I sigh as he leaves and Klaus seems to have passed out on the concrete..... Five is hissing and mumbling.... I sigh as I step away from Klaus and go towards Five..... "Five I know your upset.... but we have to move on..." He chuckles as he shakes his head still looking at the ground as he moves around...."Move on? Move on!" He looks up at me... his eyes angry...... "How can they do this! All they had to do was get here on time!" He yells his hands shaking out as he fumes..... "I know... I know... but we still have a couple of days.... we have to make it through this...." I say stepping a bit closer to him.....

he looks at me tilting his head... he steps closer to me.... "We could have gotten them... I was stupid! Distracted! All I've ever tried to do is get my family safe.... I should have saved them!" I sigh as I step just a bit closer to him...... "We still can" I say softly and Five scuffs at me, "No you've helped enough." I freeze in my tracks not moving any closer to him as I look at him wide eyed... "What's that supposed to mean?" I ask..... I don't know if I want to hear this.... but I have a feeling his is going to say it anyways.... He huffs at me his eyes dark and angry... "You.... You..." I sigh at him, "I what" He shakes his head, "You take all my time... all my energy... all my heart..... I lost focus of what was important....." I breathe in deep as he looks into my soul... "You are not what's important..... you don't know what it's like to have a family.....you are so needy..... so desperate for love.... so...so... broken...." I feel my heart shatter slowly..... I feel tears start to flow down my cheeks... "Five you don't mean this.... you need to stop...." I sob out a bit and Five slams his hand into the dumpster.... I flinch back as he continues to yell, "Oh I mean it! You aren't doing me any good! You never have helped me..."

I flinch with every word he says and keep stepping back.... he chuckles as I see tears start to fall from his face..... "What did I stutter?!? You heard me!" he waves at me taunting me "Flinch some more it really shows how damaged you are..." I gasp a little as I take one last look at him... "I KNOW THERE'S A RING FIVE! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" I yell sobbing... he stops in his tracks and pulls out a small box in his jacket pocket.... "Oh this?! This is what you want?!?"  He chuckles as tears run down his face... he takes the box and throws it as far as he can.... I watch as it flys away and I gasp out covering my mouth.... He turns back to me.... "LEAVE ZERO!" He screams at me and I flinch back from him as I scan his face for even the smallest ounce of regret....... Nothing......I turn away from him and start down the alleyway.... soon my walking turns into running.... tears stream down my face as I turn the corner into another alleyway and I collapse onto the floor.... I hide my face in my knees as I try and control my breathing..... Why does he always do this..... he keep doing this to me..... he says he doesn't mean it... but then he does it again and again..... I know that all of this is stressful.... but it's not my fault.. is it?? I know he doesn't mean it..... I still love him..... but that doesn't mean that his words don't hurt..... I wish i could help him.... he's right maybe I should be doing more to help him....why would he throw the ring..... is he that done with me??

"Oh pet....." I look up suddenly to see the Handler standing there pouting at me.....what on earth is she doing here..... I try and wipe my tears quickly and she sighs crouching down in front of me.... "His siblings didn't get there in time did they?" She asks and i shake my head no in response.... she reaches out to touch my face and I flinch back immediately.... her hand stops mid air then she takes a tissue out and reaches out trying to wipe my tears... I flinch with every move she makes and she sighs at me... "He didn't even consider leaving them and saving your future with him did he?" I look at her confused.... I didn't even think of that.... I quickly shake my head, "No that's not a possibility... we can't leave his family...." she chuckles a bit at me... "Oh doll when are you going to learn? That was always an option to him.... he just choose to ignore it...." I sigh at her sniffling as I wipe my tears more.... "No that's not on him... that's on me.... I need to fight for the future more...." she smiles a bit.... like she was waiting for that reply.... "My dear.... I have a deal for you...." I tilt my head confused as she sits down in front of me........ what kind of deal does she have in mind?
