in another life

chapter 2

as apollo was being carried back to his room he was being stared at by roxanne. "so, uhm, what was that about?" apollo didn't want to talk. but he made himself speak anyways. "i uhm. it's hard to say but, i'm not exactly. from this timeline. tell me, what happened in this timeline?" roxanne stammered for a bit. "well, you died and elijah took over the kingdom-" before apollo could start yelling again roxanne continued. "he took care of it and rose it higher like you wanted it to be. he regretted what he did since well, he didn't want to do it anyways. but when he found you again he swore to never hurt you again." apollo had no words. he was confused, but also enlightened..?

he didn't know what he felt but he figured it wasn't him. apollo made sure to stay away from elijah no matter how many times he tried to approach him. until one time.

"apollo please!!! just stop and let me talk to you.." apollo turned and gave him this, 'get the fuck away from me' look. "please... just a minute if your time.." he sighed and crossed his arms. "speak." elijah was surprised apollo let him talk to him. "you have wasted 15 seconds speak or don't." elijah stammered "i- i don't know what happened but the girls informed me your not from this.. timeline. i don't know what your elijah did to you but on his behalf i apologize-" "apologize for what? killing me? murdering my family and friends? TAKING my kingdom down when I housed you and trusted you with everything." elijah sat there. "what i- what he did was wrong. and i know apologizing won't change anything, but, the same thing happened here. and my apollo left. he had every right to. but, when i reunited with him. he, was exhausted from hiding. there's uhm. something i never told you. and i know your elijah didn't either."

apollo was intrigued. what was he hiding from him this whole time. another way he was trying to ruin his life? "so uhm, i'm sure you noticed how when i used to visit my kingdom i would seem down? well i'm assuming you know about my dad. and how he, killed my mom. so you can imagine what he did to my mental and physical health. now this isn't an excuse but, it's a reason. my father threatened me often and i would usually not comply because he never threatened anything i cared about. until he threatened to kill you. then i had no choice but to comply with what he wanted." apollo just sat there. "in my timeline. i'm dead currently. or so they think. if you uhm. want. i can explain how i survived. since you explained some things to me."

to be continued there's a hurricane coming for my asscheeks so i will update later :'D
