" You left me for dead " ( Evan x Gregory )

Chapter 17: Understanding

After Gregory's shift...

Gregory's POV:

" Care to explain what happened in the storage room? " Ann asked to me, and I looked at her with nervous look on my face. " Well, um, do I have to explain everything? " I asked to her, and the others looked at me. Mark J facepalmed himself, and Ann stared me down. Ann is really over protective of me. She act likes a mother or older sister figure to all of us. Plus, she is the best person you can be friends with.

But I am in the trouble for the accident in the storage room. " Well, look I was looking for the beans you ask me to get. But then he found out me in the storage room, so out of self-defense I pulled out my dagger in time. I tried to stabbed him but he dodged the attacks. Then he grabbed my wrist, and I try to get out, but since his grip was too strong. So, I just kicked him in the shin. Then I ran as fast as I can to get away from him."

Then I paused, and I looked at the ground, and I sighed. " Then, I was in the a dead end, and I didn't know he was right behind me. Then I tried to stabbed him again, and then I felt something shock me. I fell onto the floor, and he took my dagger. And a lot more other stuff happened, we talked and I finally understand why."

The others looked at me, and Ann finally said, " Well, you been broken for years, Gia. Almost a decade, Gia. You should reconnect with him, you finally understand him after so many years. I think he deserve a chance. You forgive people really easily but not him. For your reasons, you should go before those souls get curious where you are, " Ann let me leave the shop.

I left the shop, as I was walking. I felt a presence behind me, and I turned around. I saw it was Evan, " Oh hey Evan, " I said to him. " Hey Ivy, " Evan called me by my pet name from him. " Look after so long, I understand why. But I still don't forgive you, " I told to him as we walked down the street. A lot of people were scared of Evan, so they back away from us. " I understand, but where are we going? " Evan asked to me, and I looked at him. " My house where me and the other souls lives. I lived with them, " I answered as we walked to my house. 

We made it to my house, " Wow, your house is still the same. You really kept it in a great condition, " Evan complimented, and I smiled at him. " Yeah, but the souls been the same. But some will not take your presence lightly, " and I unlocked the door. The souls looked at me and Evan, " Gia and... Evan, it's been long since we seen you. " They all looked us, " You know the rules, we don't attack guests. But you did tried to attack one of my co-workers, " I told to them about the day they tried to attack Mark J.

" Well, this time we will not. But so did you two lovebirds make up for the things? " Charlie asked to us, and I started to blushed. Evan looked at her with a cold look, but Charlie didn't care at all She just rolled her eyes, " Well, you better don't over work yourself, Gia. You been working on Glamrock Bonnie for the last days. Plus, Helpy seen you sleeping in the basement, " Charlie warned me, and I knew that.

" I will change my clothes, " I said, and I went upstairs. I went to change my clothes and I was in the bathroom. I took off my shirt, and I looked at the mirror. I had to wear a binder, even though I had some surgery. I still look like a girl.

I put on another shirt and I changed into shorts. I took off my illusion disk and I let that change. Evan never wore a disk for his reasons. I looked in the mirror again and I saw my bandages on my arms. I still do self-harm, since I was 15. Evan never notices or even the souls notices too. I sighed, I think they will notices. I left the bathroom, and I heard some talking downstairs. I decided to eavesdrop.

" He did changed, did he? " I heard Evan ask, " He did after so many years, Evan. Ever since that day, what you did to him. You know that he can't easily forgive you, he holds gudges against people who hurts him. You know, he tried to put you into prison because of his hated against you. But you managed to make him understand, but all we ask is you to protect him from his emotions. Even his negative ones because his powers are powered by his emotions. Please, I want you to protect him. Even though, we are all different, he is relying on you. "

Charlie paused, " You understand Gregory more than us, we tried to understand him. But due to his mental illnesses, it's been hard on him. Ever since everything, just help the poor guy out. You knew him better than us and he needs someone to relying on. We don't want him to relived the same pain over and over again. That's all we ask of you , " Charlie finished, Evan sighed. " I will, I wanted to make it up to him for years. But he hated me for 4 years after what I did, but I can do what I have to do, " Evan assured her, and I walked down the stairs. 

I decided not to heard their conversation, " Hey guys, " I greeted them, they all looked at me. " Hey Gia/Ivy, " They all said to, and Evan only called me Ivy. " Ivy? " Fritz asked, " Oh they still don't know, that nickname I gave you a long time ago."
