In the midst of Gods

Lydia

Everyone had gone to bed, even Katie and Tobias walked off back to his room. Leaving me in the kitchen by myself, under a dimmed lights. My dad was going to be working late so I sat there drinking a beer. if I was going to be alone. Might as well be wasted for it, drunk texting nick was fun an all but he sucked at responding messages.

I tap my fingers along the marble counter, making small flowers bloom on top of it. Bringing them to life, the flowers start to dance around, there petals flowing as they pranced along the counter tops. I laid my head on my hands, watching as they float around. I smiled, seeing the beauty in my power. Only I sit up, sighing heavily. Ruffling my hair with my hands aggressively and disintegrating them, there colors turning grey, only to soon turn to ash, dissipating into the air.
I had too much roaming through my head, everything from hunters, Kai, nick, the family. I was in a constant state of thought.
Bed was my best option, if I was to shut my brain down. I was going to need sleep, today was oddly draining. Katie and Tobias's energy took the most out of me. I didn't want to over exaggerate myself.

Getting up from my seat, i grab my beer staggering out the kitchen. To the foyer, making my way up the stairs I reach my room. Standing in the door way, I cross my arms and lean against my door. my feelings heavy and my skin crawling with aggravation. I feel like I'm in a midlife crisis glancing down the way, sighing heavily heading down one more door to Kai's room. I felt a little angry at him, annoyed even. I open the door, but he wasn't in there, so stumble around a bit only to trip over titan, his pup that was laying on the floor. I get to my hands and knees, only to hear his bathroom door open. Seeing him come out in sweats and no shirt. "Do you even wear shirts at this point?" I asked drunkenly trying to keep my composure. Seeing his gapping scar he had on his chest, getting it right after I had left home for the first time. I get to my feet feeling a little wobbly as Kai grabs hold of me so I don't fall. "Why are you lying to me..." I wondered. Knowing he has something he's keeping from me. He scrunched his brows at me. "What?" He says with mystery. I curse at him in the Korean language knowing he would fully understand me.

His dad had taught us when we were younger. Back when he was alive, that and his grandmother didn't speak a lick of English. So I had to learn it so she would be able to talk to me better. Always asking questions I never understood. I mumble to him in the dialect. "I'm not lying to you, ruby. Believe me I've learned my lesson." He chuckled. "Sure, Liar." I said trailing his room. He puts his hand on my head stopping me. "Is there something you want me to say ruby." He asked, then proceeded to life my chin. "Say it." I told him. He gives me a small laugh. "No." He says. I huff crossing my arms, not being able to keep a straight face.

His smile used to be so hard to come by and now I see it constantly. So when he smiled it would always make me smile. "Then tell me you don't." I asked with a small grin. He walks aways from me. But I grab his hand. "Tell me, kyng." I demanded. "No." He says again. I groan. "Okay." I said giving in, I didn't want to make it that big of a deal even though it bothers me for only the gods know why. I turn to walk off back to my room, I hear him follow me. "Just okay?" he says, wishing I would pester him a little more. I won't.

I keep walking going inside my room, I stop in the door way seeing he had followed me. "What?" I said. But his tall stature towering over me made it difficult to not turn pink in this kind of situation especially when my own drunk emotions couldn't be controlled. I close the door in his face. He knocks. "Open the door Ruby." He says. But I ignore him, trying to keep quiet along with my brain. Trying to silence the sounds in my head of that night. "Ruby." He says, ugh... that name. Out of all the things he could have picked it was that, he couldn't just call me red like everyone else? Why is he so special? My sadness was starting to turn to anger. "Kai, can we just drop it." I said, I was burnt out.

"Your so fucking stubborn, open the door." he demands. "No." I said retorting the words he spoke to me. I hear him groan from the other side of the door. Mean hot tears prick at the corners of my eyes. "Just keep your secrets, you don't even tell me what you do anymore. You've been so different since Florida and I hate it. I miss you, you asshole and all you do is hide and lie..." I said. Hitting my head back against the door. "I'm not lying, you never ask about what I do, and I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear just because you want to hear it dork, so open the door." He says. As if that was going to change my mind, I'm not opening this door, he can suck it. "You going to tell me what you do all day when your gone?" I asked. Though there was no response, pure silence. "Yeah that's what I though, just go to bed kyng. I don't want to talk anymore." I said. Getting up to go to my bed. Only I hear my door lock being played with just for the door to be opened. Kai comes inside and I toss my pillow at him, hitting him in the face. But he just stands there dumbfounded.
