I'm not the same person I was months ago. I've changed, ever since my dad's death and the break-in with Petrov's men I decided I needed to change if not for me for my mom.
And after my parent's death, I was determined to bring their killers to justice.
I was in the home gym working on my combat moves that Rina had shown a week ago. I needed to be ready for anything, so I've been training as much as I can.
Kylo and I hadn't spoken since I told him it would be best we kept our distance, granted he didn't take the situation lightly. But he needed his head to be clear before he made any decisions about us and so did I.
My head wasn't right after I found out about my dad's passing and I didn't think I could drag Kylo into my mess.
Even though me and my dad weren't close he was still my dad and I still loved him despite our issues. If I had told Kylo the reasoning behind us calling it quits he would have doubts that I would be able to get justice for my parents and I didn't need that considering I already doubted myself.
So I thought it best I keep my distance from him before either of us got hurt, which I knew would hurt him.
I don't know when my feelings for Kylo changed but I know they did and maybe it was because deep down I knew he was changing for the better and I was changing for the worse.
As I'm punching the punching bag hard still stuck in my thoughts I hear someone come up to me. "Wow, what the punching bag ever do to you" the person from behind me says in a cold monotone voice.
I turn and unexpectedly see Maddox standing there. It was shocking hearing Maddox make a joke since when he said it sounded foreign coming from him and also because he never spoke to me unless we were all in a room together which was rarely.
"Maddox, what are you doing here?" I ask taking my boxing gloves off and grabbing my water bottle to take a sip. "I always work out and train at this time," he says grabbing his boxing gloves and strapping them on.
"Oh, I didn't know sorry I'll get out of your hair quick you won't even know I was here," I say rushing to grab my things. He puts his hand up to stop me "Wait, Vina, you don't have to it's fine I can see you working hard to bring justice to your family" he says making me stop in my tracks at the nickname he called me and look up at him shocked that he knew about my plan.
"H-how did you know," I say. "Because I would do the same thing if it was my family. I admire that, and you have my full support" he says focusing on punching the punching bag and kicking it.
I never knew Maddox was this kind of person, whenever I heard Katrina talk about him she made him sound like he was heartless and only cared for himself, I never knew how wrong she was until now.
