Here We Go again |Zexion Love story| Modern au

The truth comes out

After that moment I actually kinda felt happy that Zexion was the lying bastard he was. He gave me the chance to see that he wasn't the right choice for me obviously, and it opened my eyes to why I even tolerated Kadaj in the first place...I had liked the guy for god knows how long. I know I probably don't make any sense...but what girl does? But Anyways...It wasn't only my senior year that Kadaj started to bug me at, it actually started back in middle school, which ironically I had started to get the vibe that my parents disliked me. The day after I heard my parents argue about what to do with me he started to pick on me for wearing such baggy clothing.

I felt like crap so you could pretty much guess what I did right? If you thought I hit him then you're wrong. I shoved him off of me and into a wall before going to my locker. Which started the trend of him going up to my locker and pestering me, back then I really thought that he wanted me to hurt him. But no...He was trying to make me smile and laugh at what he said. I couldn't, finding out that my parents hated me really placed a damper on things. Now I've ignored most of the comments that he has told me until April fools day of our freshman year. He told me that if I stopped wearing baggy clothing that people would start to notice me and I'd have a boyfriend who'd care for me.

That hurt like hell to hear from him. Even if he was just trying to 'joke' around, it stung and that time I hurt him by hitting him with my algebra book...seriously hard. Then I went to my classes even more depressed. After that day I never wore my baggy clothes again, I actually bit the bullet and asked my mom if I could change my appearance to be liked more. She was happy about it and she had taken me shoping that day which I had to stop myself many times from cringing due to clothes that were around me. I HATED preppy girls clothes, but it was what was popular so I went with it. When I went to school the next day I felt more self contious about myself, I had worn tight blue jeans and a mid cut blue t-shirt under a shall. I even placed my hair up in pig tails instead of having it down. I was totally ignored until I got to my locker, that's when my pest...well pestered me again.

"Looks like someone changed...What for?" He asked curiously

"I was following some very hurtful advice I was given yesterday. I honestly don't know if it'll help me out but I'm willing to try anything." I said not looking to him as I got my morning books.

I then closed my locker before I looked to him and I saw the sad expression on his face.

"What's with your face Kadaj?"

"Did what I say to you yesterday really hurt you that badly? I was only joking."

I shrugged. "Whatever."

I went to my classes and that day I had three guys come up to me in lunch; Lea, Riku and Zexion. Those three were my first and only friends. I thought it was because of how I looked then...but that wasn't it. They apparently disliked how I changed and asked me to change back. That made me laugh and hold my side, three guys were begging me to turn back to my gothic self. I then made a deal with them that if I turned back to my old self that they'd have to sit at lunch with me instead of being creeps and watching me from a different table. They agreed and I found out a lot about them. That whole year was good until I asked Zexion to come over to tutor me for math...I was struggling in it and he was a math genius. We were doing homework at the table and my parents automatically hated him.

Maybe it was because he was my tutor and all or the fact that I had a friend and they didn't like that one bit. But after that day I told Zexion it would be better not to hang out at my place so I don't get the lecture from hell from my parents. so from then on out I went to his place and I saw that he was an only child. He never really spoke of his family, he only cared about what was wrong with mine, I never really spoke about it...Mainly because I didn't want to end up in a foster house. But since I changed how I looked I had gained three friends until Lea and Riku pranked me on April fools and lied to me about doing it. It made what Kadaj said look like childs play, they faked having a crush on me. After my sophmore year I only had Zexion as a friend, and Kadaj stepped up his game with pestering me, we had almost all the same classes for junior year so he'd pester me while we walked to classes unless he was with a girl then he'd pay attention to her instead of on me.

Now looking back at everything, I felt stupid for not noticing just how much Kadaj really did care for me. Now cuddling with him on his bed with my head on his chest, I actually felt like I was wanted somewhere. It felt nice and peaceful until a girl busted open the door.

"Kadaj, the guy who dropped her off is back to get her." She said with a smile

I sighed. "Looks like my bro is here. I'll see you tomorrow Kadaj." I said looking up to him.

He smiled and he kissed me on the lips "That you will, I love you Lily."

I blushed and smiled back. "I love you too Kadaj."

He then let go of me and I placed my shoes on before I got my school stuff. I followed the girl downstairs and went out the door. I went into the passenger seat and sighed a bit.

"That stressful?" He asked curiously

"No...Not stressful. I just feel like a dummy for not realizing something for awhile."

"What might that be Sis?" Mace asked me curiously

"The guy who's been terrorizing me for the last few years has been trying to get my attention so he could go out with me." I said leaning against the door

"And you're with him now?" Mace asked.

I nodded my head. "Yeah, I honestly up to now never knew why I even let him bug me but now I really understand why I did...I wanted someone to notice me for me and well he did. He made me feel like I was wanted somewhere...even though he did a joke on me one year and it hurt like hell."

"So what about your crush on Zexion?" He asked

"Who?"

He laughed and smiled. "So he's not even in the picture now?"

"What picture Mace?" I asked curiously

Mace shook his head. "Maybe you could tell him about what's happening with you and you could stay with him for the rest of the school year."

I sighed and I shook my head. "I don't want him to get involved in it."

"Alright, that's your call."

Once we got to the hotel I hugged him before I went inside and I immediately got a call on my cell. I jumped as I answer it.

"Hello?" I said confused

"Hey, I just thought of something...Why is it that your brother came to pick you up and dropped you off?" Kadaj asked as I went up the steps.

I sighed and I went into the room. "Why do you want to know Kadaj, this is unlike you?"

"Easy, you're my girlfriend now, I'd like to know about your family so I know what I'm dealing with."

I lied on the bed with another sigh. "I hope you're ready for an ear full Kadaj...I wasn't going to tell you this just for the reason it's painful on me, but if you want to know I'll tell you. I am hated by my parents. I know this for a fact for the reason they say those words straight to my face with anger, they disapprove of everything I do and praise my brother. They think I'm a devil child since I was ten and ever since I started middle school its been hell on me, I've been pressured to be like my brother and each year my parents either hurt me really badly or lock me in the basement for the summer for my report cards not looking like my brother's. But this year has been the worse, I've been kicked out of my own room and disrespected to the point that I ran off. I couldn't handle it anymore, so I live in a hotel and my brother takes me anywhere I need to go I just need to text him to let him know." I said as I tried to repress the memories of my past.

The line was quiet for a bit before I heard something then nothing again.
