Loving Hero

Everyone knew

Loving Kane scares me.

I have never and I don’t think I will ever feel this way for anyone in this life.

Loving him has to be the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced.

We have been through some good and bad stuff together and if that doesn’t prove we can through anything together then I don’t what.

We separated but found our way back to each other’s arms again after five years.

If we didn’t go through all those challenges, I don’t think we would be here today.

I feel safe in his arms, and he feels human when he is in my arm.

He once said pain makes him feel human but all that changed during our time together.

I bring him back.

He might be seen as this dangerous person to the world and to be he is a baby who loves a little bit of loving and loves laying his head on my boobs.

“Does this mean we are back together?” he smirks.

I can’t help but smile but that smile quickly turns into a quilt.

“Hey?” he tilts my jawline so that I’m looking at him.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nick.” I softly say.

Nothing I don’t want is Nick’s look. He has a look that can make you feel shit about yourself, and I don’t think he can control himself.

He deserves so much from me but cheating.

Or choosing Kane over him again.

You can’t fix him.

His warning ring in my head but I don’t want to fix him. I want him to become the best version of himself.

“Fuck him.” He says and stands up. “You can’t say that. I am the one who wronged him here.”

“Fine but he knew he never stood a chance so he should be grateful that he got to.” He pecks my lips and pulls his pants up.

“You’re not showering?”

“Nope. I like the smell of the after-sex on me. Chases the girls away.” I pull my lower lip between my teeth to keep from smiling.

“Everyone should know I am yours.” The doorbell rings and he walks out and dress up in his shirt and shorts.

“You are lucky I am happy or else I would have knocked your eyes out.” Stella walks in with the guys.

She halts in her steps and takes in the room.

“Don’t tell me you guys just had sex?” she says disgustingly good, and I can feel my cheeks turning red in embarrassment.

“I’m going back to the living room.” she walks out with Brian mumbling “Why the fuck was I thinking coming in here.”

“Well, you didn’t waste time.” Logan chuckles and Kane glares at him and he lifts his hands in the air and walks out.

“Don’t mind them.” He offers his hands and I take them and stand up.

“I love you always and forever.” He pecks my forehead, and we walk out.

We find our friends in the living room on their phones. I sit next to Stella much to Kane’s dismay, and she immediately puts her phone away.

“How was it?” she asks excitedly.

“Sensational,” I whisper.

“Well, I’m happy if you are happy. Your sex life was wack since you know.”

She never agreed with most of my choices in the past five years, but she always supported them. Especially getting together with Nick and him being Kane’s stepbrother and all. Leah straight didn’t support me getting involved with brothers and I understand her. It’s not a decision I took lightly.

“I thought we agreed for you to stay in the hotel.” Brian glares at Kane and Stella shifts uncomfortably.

“You should know me better than that.’’

I am missing something here.

“When did you get out of prison?” I ask.

“You haven’t told her, have you?” Logan asks looking at me sympathetically.

“Told me what?” Stella also has the same look except for Brian who doesn’t even have an expression.

My heart is pounding, and the room feels like it's folding onto itself into one huge, black sinkhole.

My breathing gets heavy, and my heart feels like it's being cut into pieces as Kane locks eyes with me.

“Tell me the truth.” I hurled out the first thing my mind could manage to form. I can feel a hand on me, but I don’t pay attention to it.

“I never went to prison.” He reveals.

My breath hitches in my throat as I look around at the faces of my so-called best friends.

“You knew all this time?” I ask Stella and the look on her face is enough to tell what I need to know.

I stand up and move away from them.

“All this time I thought you were in prison was not true?” I ask again just to understand if what I’m hearing is right.

It can’t be right.

Kane will never do this to me nor my friends.

“Yes.” He stands and takes cautious steps towards me.

“The whole thing was staged.” My head is about to explode.

“I was in Spain the whole time.”

The ground is sinking into a black hole, and I can feel myself sinking with it.

“So, all of you watched me cry and suffer over nothing and you still didn’t tell me the truth?” I look over to Stella.

“We were doing what was best for me.” She justifies her actions.

“You all had no right to make that kind of decision on my behalf. That was my choice to make!” I yell.

I can feel myself getting angrier by the minute. Brian stands up and walks to the bar stand and pours himself a scotch and watches us like we are in some drama on TV.

“You were lost, Thea. Everything you did revolved around Kane someone had to do something.”

“I was lost without him for a long time! Don’t you get it? I was crashed…”

“You ever loved someone so bad that you don’t want to control it and let it consume you that you are nothing without them?” I ask and Kane tries to touch me, but I take a step away from him.

“I never wanted to be strong without him.”

“Your mother was only doing what was best for you,” Kane says softly and I’m not surprised she was behind this.

“Since when are you friends with Anna?” last time I checked he doesn’t like my mom and would never do as she says.

“We are not friends. We just have something in common.” I scoff and walk out of the hotel room.
