Extra Lessons

Forty Four

"I know how to open a door". I said signaling him to back away. He chuckled softly lifting both hands walking backwards a bit. As I opened the door I stepped aside so he can walk in but he insisted on allowing me to walking in first. I was tired and didn't had time to play any games so I went inside and took a seat on my couch. "Your inside so talk". He walks in closing in the door slowly before sitting down as-well.

"How have you been?" He asked. "Im Wonderful, Fantastic even." I said in an obvious but subtle sarcastic tone. He looked at me confused before continuing on saying " Look T im sorry for the way... well how things went." Fidgeting with hands I looked down avoid eye contact saying " like I said then it wasn't your fault". He started to look aggravated when I said that. "T look I only did what I did t protect you. As stupid as it sounds It was a decision that I needed to make for the safety of you." I scoffed at his reply.

"You made the decision thinking of yourself. You dont get to decide for me. It..it just doesn't work like that!" I said getting offensive. "All those things happen because of me dammit. You almost died for Christ sake T". I hanged my head down rolling my eyes. "You know for someone really smart like you. Your such a dumbass. All that happened I decided to stay I wanted to be there with you. I decide my fate not you"

"And where did that get you huh?". He said looking at me sideways. I stood up walking towards the door saying "I think you should leave now". "Look T I didn't mean it-". "Leave. Please." I said with watery eyes. He then stood up walking towards the door stopping saying " I miss you T. I miss us". I pushed him out the doorway yelling tearing up "No! You don't get to say that. You left me when I was at my fucking lowest.... Literally. The time I needed you most you vanished. That brought back so many past hurt that I tried so damn hard for years to suppressed. I struggle trying not to think of you.. Not to think of us. So sorry if I'm not 100 percent over it."

Seeing me in that state he immediately hugged me tight in his arms. I didn't wanted him to let go. But the feeling of betrayal still stands. I gently shrugged him off saying. "Goodnight Sho". As I walked back inside and closed the door. Immediately those tears stopped. Don't get me wrong the emotions were there when I said those things to him. But why be sad when you can have revenge hm
? Now I'll have to really give a reason to miss me.

I know you're thinking that's its cold of me to do that. But after being played and betrayed all your life you learn a thing or two. Yes I was actually hurt when he left. His betrayal was the worst yet. And It did took me a while to get over it. Even now I'm by not quite over it but fake it till you make it right?

The next morning came and I feel like a new woman. Well a woman without powers. I felt like something good was happening. Although everything is pretty much shit right now. I went to the kitchen and made me some coffee and sat on the porch watching the busy streets. A few minutes went by and I saw that
my mailbox has something inside it. So i made my way over to with opening it to see whats inside. "

"Huh an envelope"? I said to myself as I wonder what's inside. I went back to the porch opening it and seeing a letter from the Hero's Association Hq.
"You are cardinally invited the 30th Anniversary of the Hero's Day Ball. This year theme will be white masquerade. I will look forward in seeing you in attendance."  I sat there puzzled. "Although without my quirk they still consider me apart of the Hero league? Or is this an act of empathy and kindness?" 

I sat debating wether I should attend or not. Its this weekend. Such short notice. I don't want to feel sympathy from others ( if they even cared). I dont know if I would want to go. I then went inside disregarding the invite and went on with my day.

~~~~~~~~~ The night before the event~~~~~~~

*Ring ring*. My phone rang about 3 times. I quickly answered saying "speaking". "Finally I thought you were dead". Hawks sad on the phone call. "Haha soo funny. What's up?" I replied. "Will I be seeing you tomorrow night?" I didn't know what to say. I wasn't expecting him to ask. So I just said "why"? His tone of voice shifted slightly saying "well I would appreciate If Hero's under my agency would participate." He then repeated himself again saying " So will you be gracing us with your presence tomorrow?" I honestly felt pressured to answer him saying " fine I'll attend". He ended the call saying "Thank You. See you tomorrow"!

"Something is in for him I just know it. He wouldn't care this much if he's not getting anything". I said plopping myself onto the couch. Now I have to attend this ball and I have absolutely nothing prepared "ughh". I soon fell sound asleep thinking of that stupid ball.
