Traitor [[ON HOLD]]

Kefálaio Énteka - 11

A HUGE MEGA WARNING. GRAMMAR AND SPELLING IS SO HORRIBLE, MY ENGLISH TEACHER WOULD HAVE EXPELLED ME FROM HER CLASS FOR SURE.

| Alek's POV |

And you can forget about me waiting for you, because there is no way that I would come back to love a fucking bastard like you.

I knew I deserved it. If her siblings were here, I'd probably been beaten to death. But even if her words were expected, and trust me I knew they were coming, I couldn't deny how much her harsh words impacted me. I felt the ground underneath me tumbling, and as the cruel words left her lips I knew there was absolutely no chance of getting her back.

I'm not sure if I regret it or not. Sure, as of right now it took all the strength in me to not stumble in my knees and beg her to take me back. I had to keep my distance from her because I knew with one touch my facade would completely vanish. 

As soon as she realized what I'd said, I saw her face crumbled as if I'd killed her. I wanted to claw my eyes when I saw her so weak and knowing I was the reason for it. 

It was now the second day in the Underworld, and the tension between us was so immense, I was pretty sure I could hear the crackling of it. I walked behind her, not having the guts to walk beside her. Besides I was pretty sure she would stab me if I get near her. She looked to relaxed, almost as if nothing had happened. That was a bad sign right?

I sighed and stuffed my hands in my pockets. Somehow this day felt longer. Maybe because Alice was ignoring me the whole way. Or maybe because I really wanted to get the hell out. No pun intended.

It was already late, according to the watch that Alice brought from back home. I was exhausted and I really wished there was a comfortable king sized bed here. 

It's been a whole day, and Alice hasn't made one sound since yesterday. It was driving me insane, just hearing the thick liquid of the lava was enough to drive me to the asylum.

I wanted to her to talk to me. To have those hour long conversation we used to have when we bonded over training lessons. Maybe we're not together anymore, but we could still be friends right?

I was about to utter a word to her when I heard her sigh in annoyance. Did she know I was going to start a conversation?

"This is useless," she muttered. I froze on the spot and stared at the back of her head. I decided to ignore or reply to her comment. I chose the latter.

"What's useless?" I asked timidly. In truth, I was afraid to speak. I don't know where we stand right now, and I felt like one word for me and she would go on a rampage. 

She turned around and looked at me, her dull grey eyes wandering on my appearance. To say I looked horrible was an understatement. Never in my life, have I felt so completely worthless. 

"This . . . us," she pointed the space between us. I looked up in shock and gasped at her words.

"What?" I tried to comprehend her words. Was she trying to make me change my mind. NO! It took all of me to reject her, there was no way I'm going back on my word. "Look Alice, I already made up my mi-"

"Not that!" She snapped. "I know you did. And I, uh, respect your decisions."

I saw the hurt in her eyes before she could hide it. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around her and apologize from everything. I felt the itching in my eyes, and I knew I was about to cry. I lowered my eyes to the ground so she won't see how much this break up has affected me.

I heard her take a deep breathe. "Yeah, maybe it's not the same as it used to be." I really wish it was. I'm so sorry, please take me back. "But you're still my Guardian and we can't keep having this awkward relationship. So maybe if we leave it all behind and forget all about it, we can start again by friends." Please don't forget about it. Everything we had was very special to me.
