The gap between us - ( Seven deadly sins)

Chapter 46 - Green scarf

- Melody Pov -

I looked at the door with empty eyes. How could he...how could he show me such horrible memories after what I just went through!?

I continued to curse him in my head, my eyes managing to wander to the green scarf laid out next to me. I scowled as I picked it up and caressed it with rough strokes. It was the same shade as my eyes, but it smelt like him. I went to drop it, but then remembering what it was. "Oh...so that's what he got me for my 4th birthday." I mumbled, clenching it even tighter. Feeling kinda sad that it had turned out like that.

I was still mad at him...but there weren't just painful memories that he showed me, he also gave me back nice ones. "He had a reason for taking them...but I'm still hurt that he did." I complained and then got out of bed. I'm mad, but I want to understand why he took them...I need to be reasonable. Dad had told me about this, but I wanted to hear it from him.

- Helbram Pov -

I sat down on the couch beside Percy, letting my face fall into my hands. I really fucked up.

"You alright?" I heard Percy ask me quietly, awkwardly almost as I lifted up my head slightly. I simply looked at him before shaking my head and leaning back, staring up at the ceiling, I sighed.

"No...I'm not." I put simply. He just nodded.

"Ah, so you did have a little fight with your demon-"

"Don't call her that! She's my girlfriend, not some shadow creature!" I snapped at him before scoffing and combing my fingers through my bangs to tidy them up.

Percy put his hands up in defence. "Alright, my bad...Is Melody alright?" He asked, but her name sounded unnatural, sour even, coming from his mouth. I shook my head shamefully.

"Physically yes, mentally and emotionally no, I fucked up."

He looked at me with a fake sad face. "Awww, what'd you do-"

"Stop being a bastard and just ask normally!" I called him out again.

He visibly sweat dropped, looking away with embarrassment while rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry, it's a habit...anyways, what'd you do to upset her?"

I sighed heavily. "I gave her back some painful memories...and now she's really pissed off about it." I clenched my teeth. "Why couldn't I have just waited a little fucking longer!?" I cursed at myself. Percy cleared his throat.

"Ummm...not to stress you out any more than you already are...but...melody's standing right behind you." He whispered while pointing at her. I sweat dropped and kept my head down.

"Wow, really Percy, I thought I was invisible." She put sarcastically.

"Jeez, alright - no need to be rude." He grumbled.

Melody sighed heavily. "Percy, it's not that I'm ungreatful to you for saving my life, I just want to be alone with Helbram for a few minu-"

"Melody you need to be in bed!" I cut her off forcefully.

"I'm leaving." Percy quickly said before running upstairs. She scoffed.

"Why do you constantly go from treating me like I'm going to break at any moment to showing me the memory of my mother's death!?" She cried.

"I'M LOOKING AFTER YOU AND OUR UNBORN SON! DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT!?" I screamed, finally snapping. She just stared at me in shock before her bottom lip began to tremble. "Melody..." I added. Staring at her furrowed face with remorse.

She wiped her eyes. "But why'd you give them back now?" She questioned, barely audible as she struggled to hold back her tears. Tears that I had provoked.

My face fell as I took in a deep breath. "I don't know...part of me thought that it would give you some closure around your mother's death...and another part just couldn't take the burden anymore." I mumbled with guilt, then I felt it, her hand colliding with my face.

"YOU ASSHOLE! WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL ME!? I DIDN'T NEED THOSE STUPID MEMORIES! THE ONES OF YOU AND I WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER AREN'T IMPORTANT ANYMORE! NEITHER IS THE ONE OF MY MOTHERS DEATH!" She cried. "Because we have new ones that I wouldn't trade for the world... and nothing is going to bring her back. So stop holding onto the past and just look at what we have now! I love you, I always have, I don't need those memories to know that!" She was full on crying, but her hiccups and sobs had no affect on her speech. "I just want to move on!"

I shook with tears as well. What have I done!? I questioned in my head before standing up, walking over to her, and just pulling her into my chest. "I-I know...I'm sorry. Please know that I never meant to make you cry, Lody." I apologized whilst crying.

She gasped suddenly and clenched my shirt as tears fell down her cheeks. "I-I'm sorry for s-slapping you, H-Helbram...I just don't understand w-why you d-did all of th-this.."

"It's okay." I stopped to clench my eyes shut to stop the tears from falling. "L-let's just move on."
