Trust is a dangerous path.

Chapter 32 : The last goodbye

I slowly open my eyes and the sunlight shines bright behind the curtains. Memories from last night come back in my head.

I kissed Miles. It feels like i dreamed it but i know it wasn't. I smile a bit thinking about it and i realize i'm laying on his chest. I look up at his face and just like always he looks so peacefull.

I try to stand up from the bed but his grip around my waist is stronger than you would think. I gently pull his arms off and go downstairs.

The whole day has been weird. I played with Eva a lot and Miles would kiss me whenever nobody was looking. We talked about what happened yesterday and we don't want to tell everyone just yet. Maybe we'll tell them tomorrow.

We ate dinner and Lira and i helped Sandra with the dishes. She asked if maybe we wanted to watch a movie and obviously we agreed.

"No scary movies." Lira says very seriously. She hates scary movies. I laughed at her and she just brushed me off. "Well, romantic?" Noah asked and everyone nodded. After struggling for a while to find a good movie everyone wanted to watch, we started the movie.

Lira fell asleep for a while but woke again by the ending.

We were all just sitting in the living room talking when we heard a voice coming from outside.

We all went silent to hear better and stared at each other.

"Kaya!" I froze at the voice.
I looled at Lira and she looked at me with sympathy in her eyes.
"Who is that?" Noah asked.
I didn't answer him and went to the window. I saw him standing a couple feet away from the house. And next to him was the person i hoped i had seen for the last time. Lucy.

"It's my dad." The others were already standing next to me. "I think he wants to talk." Lira said.
"You're not going to are you?" Noah asked.
"Yes, i am." I walked straight to the door and i heard the others walking right behind me.

I opened the door and the cold wind brushed my bare legs. I should have worn sweatpants instead of shorts.
I walked towards him slowly until we were just close enough.
"How did you even know she was here?" Sandra asked him. He took his eyes of from me and looked at her.
"I have my ways." He looked back at me and for one of the first times i can't read his expression

"This is your last chance Kaya." His voice sounds hopefull and soft. I almost forget the fact that his mad. or the fact that he still wil choose Lucy over me, not to forget Francis who will definitely punish me if i go. I shake my head and i feel my tears coming up already.

He reached his hand out for me to take. "Kaya, i'm willing to forget everything you did." I looked at him almost shocked. "I know they made you do this. Come to me. Come home."

Home.

It feels like a stab at the heart.

I looked down trying to control the tears rolling down in silence.

Even if i go home, it will never be the same again.

Before i knew it i stepped closer and gripped his hand. His eyes showed relief and i feel guilty i'm going to break it. "I'm not going with you." His eyes hardened in a second looking at me more intense not angry.

"Can't you see it differently. Can't you see that this is wrong." I looked at him pleading but he doesn't even considered listening. "No. Kaya you're young and wrong." He grippes my wrist thighter. I push him away and manage to pull my wrists free. Lucy steps closer to us and looks me dead in the eye.

"You're being a brat. Your father is trying to help you from choosing the wrong side." She turns back to my dad talking to him like i'm not even there. "She is ungratefull for what we do. You need to be more strict with her or she's going to do nothing in her life."

When my eyes lock back with my dad i feel more tears. Without another word he turns around slowly walking away from me. The next words are out before i know it. Before i can control what i'm saying. "You can't bring her back."

He turned around walking towards me. When he is close enough he slaps me across my face. Shocked i put a hand on my cheek. I feel someone pulling me back. Miles stands in front of me protectively.

I look up at my father and Lucy smirking right behind him. I see no regret in my father's eyes, no pity, no guilt, no shame, no emotion.

"Go to hell. Both of you." My voice broke but i don't care. My dad stepped forward but Miles was quick to smash him back. "Touch her again and i will personally burn all your bones off." He looked more than furious at Miles.

He just gave me one last glance before he turned and walked towards the forest. It took me a couple seconds to notice that Lucy is still standing here. I looked at her and she just evily smirked, she even giggled. "Stupid child." She muttered. "I told you he would choose me."

I give her the coldest glare i can right know before she also turns. After a couple steps i use my ability to make her stumble to the floor. She falls and i hear a noice that a mouse would make. I turn around walking past Lira and the rest. I go as quickly as i can to Miles' room.

I drop against the wall with my knees to my chest. The tears stream down like a waterfall. The sobs holding as silent as possible.

He hit me. I can't believe he actually hit me. He never did.

I have lost my father forever know. Who knows what the future will do to us all. Who knows who will all fall. I can't think about that.

My thoughts are interupted when Miles enters the room. He sits next to me in silnce placing his arm around my shoulders. I lean closer letting my head fall on his chest. He slowly embraces me with his other arm also around me. He rubs my arm while placing a soft kiss to my forehead. "They don't deserve you."

I let more tears fall and close my eyes while hugging him closer. For the next 30 minutes he keeps conforting me and whispering sweet things into my ear until i fall asleep. The last thing i feel is being lifted from the floor and being placed on the bed.
