The Absolute Blue Moon

Like I did last night. I locked my room. And according to Tom's promise, that he would come back here as soon as I got home, he's really here now. He's already in my room when I got here. Again, while crying I immediately hugged him. Made his shirt wet of my tears. "Shh. It's okay, babe." he said soothe me while stroking my hair.

"No. It's not okay, Tom. I feel so mad with Davis!" I cried. "I hate it when someone talks bad about you. That's hurt my feeling. And Davis has gone too far this time. He has not only judged you badly, but this time he also forbade me to see you. He is so exasperating!"

"I'm sorry Delilah for making you feel this way. If I weren't come into your life, you would not have fought with your brother like this" He said in very low voice, almost like whispering. Why did he apologize? He didn't do anything wrong though.

"No. This is not your fault. This fight was started because of ... It's just ... I just want to protect him from ... but it turned out ... "Dang it! I almost mentioning Chara. So I stop talking. I don't know what to say. I don't even know whether it is good or not if Tom knows about this. Besides, I've promised to Ayden that I would not tell anything about this to Tom.

"Do not worry. Chara's been resolved." I pulled away from his chest. Surprised. How did he know about this?

"Do ... do you know about this? How?"

"Of course I do. I just feel it when you are in danger." How could he? "Then Ayden came to me, made it all clear. So, you don't need to worry about her anymore, okay?"

"Ayden told you??" I can't believe he did it.

"Yes, he did. He won't hide anything from me. He didn't want anyone to get hurt either. So, that's how." Tom explained to me while wiping my wet cheek.

"What did you do to Chara? Is she okay? Did you hurt her? Cause I don't want you to hurt anybody, that's why I don't want to tell you anything about this in the first place." I was a little worried about the answer I would hear from Tom. Because even though Chara is being unkind to me, I still hope that Tom wouldn't hurt her, and she will be fine.

"Delilah, you are indeed a loving person. You're still worrying about people who will clearly harm you." He smiled and stroked my hair.

"Tom, just tell me. What did you do to her?" I asked seriously.

"I did nothing to her, babe. Well, actually I was so mad at her for treated you badly that I want to finish her. But I force myself not to. Firstly, it's because she's a woman, and I won't ever attack a woman as long as she doesn't do anything fatal. Secondly, she's my best friend's little sister, which I have also considered her as my own sister. Thirdly, since I met you, I feel like there's something different inside of me. I became a little more patient in dealing with every problem. But just a little. So, my fist was clenched in front of Chara at that time, but I held it from moving to her face. Still, I couldn't stop myself from cursing her, right in front of her face. Now you can calm down, love, because she's not hurt, just ... crying." He chuckled as if he remembers to what he did to Chara. "But, if she's still desperate to harm you. I don't mind repaying whatever she does to hurt you. I can do more than anything she does. Because ... you are mine. And I would do anything to protect you. To keep you safe. I won't let anybody to hurt you." He planted a quick kiss on my lips at the end of his sentences.

I'm not sure whether I should be pleased or worried about what Tom has said. I mean, of course I'm happy to hear that Tom will always be there for me, in the other hand, I have a feeling that Chara doesn't seem to give up easily in order to hurt me. It's only a matter of time. But at least, I feel relieved for now, knowing that Tom didn't hurt Chara. I smiled and gave him a peck on lips.
