One day

Chapter 18

Haydens POV:

It's quiet. Too quiet. We're just sitting her in his car doing nothing. He's staring straight ahead and I'm staring at him. Do I start the conversation or wait for him to say something? I think I'll wait. My head is killing me and I just wanna go home and go to bed. Just as I'm about to reach for the door handle he speaks up. Slowly I rest back into my seat. "Why do you always fight?" He still hasn't looked at me yet. I think over my response before I reply as I'm not sure how he'll take it.

"Growing up I never had the luxury of always being happy or relaxing. I had the luxury of fear and death. I had be the adult at the age of 10. I had to be the mother, father and sister for my baby brother. I learned to fight at the age of 13 after I killed a man Fox. Do you hear me? I killed a man, because it was either him or me and my brother. And believe me when I say I would do it again to save him or me." Near the end my voice was a whisper and there are tears in my eyes. I can't look at him, I just admitted to wanting to kill a man again if push came to shove. I just admitted to him, the one person I thought I could let in that I had killed a man.

As the tears start to fall I open the car door and get out, I sling my bag onto my shoulder and I barely get two steps before someone grabs my arm and spins me around. I'm face to face with Fox. He looks like he's in pain but I don't know why. His hands reach up and grip my face in his hands and tilts my head so I'm looking him in the eyes. "Killing one man to protect yourself and your brother doesn't make you a killer. A murderer. It makes you strong from being able to move on with your life. You are the bravest, strongest and most caring person I know." With that I just break. The tears start to flow heavier and a sob tears from my throat and I slump forward and cling to him. I hug him so tight I'm afraid that if I don't then I'll only feel worse or cry more.

If he was surprised by my sudden actions he doesn't show he simply just wraps his arms around me and squeezes just as tight, he whispers and murmurs calming and soothing words in my ears. It suddenly dawns on me that I've never felt this calm before, and the reason I was calm is because I was here with Fox. I pull back slightly to look at him. "Can we get out of here? And maybe just do something?" I sniffle at the end. He smiles kindly down at me. He knows as well as I do. He's broke through my sky high walls.

"Sure, lets go back to mine. If that's okay with you?" I can't help but smile back and nod my head. We walk back to his car, get in and we're off. I think this is the start of something good.
