Chapter Sixteen

[Here comes, 1994]

KAI'S POV

Deserving and wanting something don't coexist for a person like me, I can't have both, nor am I allowed both. I want her, but I don't deserve her; I never will. I am the darkness that can never see the light, the chip on her shoulder that sinks to her skin like a virus. She is who I yearn for, yet I let her slip from my fingertips that drip of her tenderness because I am not worthy of it. None of it, so let me soak in this sorrow of love and be the black sheep I'm destined to be.

"KAI, OPEN UP!"

Jo bangs on my door while I lay in bed, smoking a blunt to erase the look on Oranges face that was embedded in my brain. She didn't deserve what I said, but it was the only thing that would drive her away and let her see me like everyone else does.

A monster.

"I'M SERIOUS! OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR BEFORE I BREAK IT DOWN!" She yells, and I groan in annoyance before getting up. I walked over to the door and swung it open. "What?" I spat, shoving the blunt in between my lips while she looked at me in disgust. "Explain yourself, and if your explanation isn't good enough? I'll kick your ass." She threatens, causing a snort to erupt from my throat. "You can try, but the thing about me, sissy? I don't need magic to hurt someone." I said coldly, taking her back before she opened her mouth to speak again, "Oh, I know that because you hurt Autumn!" She spat while barging into my room like she owned the place, aggravating me even more.

I didn't need my twin here, telling me what I already knew.

Turning around to face my sister, I remove the blunt from my lips and blow the smoke to the floor before speaking, "And your point is?" I questioned like she's the idiot in this situation I got myself in.

Jo crossed her arms while poking the inside of her cheek with her tongue. She scrunched her nose, trying her best not to blow up on me, but I didn't care if she did anyways. It would be her funeral at the end, not mine.

She inhales deeply, "I just don't get you, Kai, like at all." Jo spat, and I shrugged, trying to act like none of this bothered me, but that only pissed her off even more. "How dare you is all I have to say." She laughs sarcastically, shaking her head, "And I told her to go for it...that you liked her because I know you do." She mumbles the last part while approaching me slowly.

I look into her eyes unfazed, "How dare I?" I let out an amused laugh before rubbing the tip of my nose and bending down to her level. "How dare you." I point out, making her eyes grow big. "Oh, no, sissy." I frown playfully and shake my head, "You got into her head- Told her I had a thing for her? Tsk tsk." I shook my index finger at my twin while she stood there speechless, probably rethinking this whole situation and pinning the blame on herself. "You getting involved in my life is ruining others." I spat and moved closer to whisper in her ear with a gasp. "Maybe I'm not the heartbreaker? Maybe it's you." I said darkly, pulling away from her while grinning. Jo looked mortified, and it wasn't my intention to throw her under the bus like that, but if it helps Orange stay away from me? So be it.
