His Bella

Protecting

Elijahs POV
"I told you have 3 siblings. 3 sisters. But I had a brother. He died two years ago. His name was Oli, he died cause hades got him.Hades knows a lot about my family. He knew something I didn't even know, Oli had a girlfriend her name was McKenzie. Hades thought if he shot McKenzie it would get him one step closer to Oli and to me. But Oli stepped in front of her and he got shot." I told
"Is that why I didn't want me near you" she asked
"Yes. I can't stop my family so I don't want anyone else involved" Blair softly rubs her thumb against the palm of my hand
"You don't have to protect me I'll be fine" she lets out a soft giggle
"But I do. I wasn't able to protect Alessandro or Oli I wanna be able to protect you and my sisters"
I never told her about Alessandro
"Alessandro was my best friend. He was in love with Maxine, my sister, and they were having twins and he took her to a mountain to propose to her. But he got shot. Alessandro died in my sister arms she never got her happily ever after but she still tries to stay happy for the kids" a tear falls from my eye
I don't cry in front of people so I quickly whipped my eyes
"You put to much on yourself not everything is your fault" Blair wraps her arms around me
"But it is" I rest my head in her shoulder and let myself melt in her touch
"No it isn't you didn't pick for hades to be after you, you didn't pick this life and it's not your fault"
We both don't say anything
I couldn't count how long it had been but I liked it
It felt so good to be able to feel like I could trust someone
But I don't even know if I can trust her
I know I can
But I don't know if I should
