Lovers

Chapter fifteen

*At the motel*

In the room it's just me and the man with the blue dog mask. "What is your relation to Five?" He asks crossing his hands on his lap.

"I fucking hate Five." I respond bitterly.

"Wait what?" He asks dumbfounded.

"I hate Five Hargreeves. It's as simple as that."

"No I thought you two were dating?"

"Things change."

"I need you to explain everything to me please. Because he actually almost got killed trying to save you at the academy the other day. That's why we were targeting you. I'm so confused now."

"Wait he did?"

"Yes, as he was running over to you a bullet went right past his head. Hell I don't even know if the kid noticed with how determined he was to get to you."

"I wonder why he never told me?" I whisper thinking about Five.

A few somber moments go by and then a woman with a pink bunny mask barges in and yells, "And you never will know unless you tell us everything you know about Five!"

"Ok, ok, i'll tell you." I respond calmly.

*An hour and a half later*

"That's it, that's all I know about Five." I say finally getting through all the facts.

"Ok I guess your no use to us anymore then." The woman states looking at her partner.

"What? No that wasn't the deal!" I yell trying to stand up and the immediately getting pushed back down by her.

"Lady i'm a stone cold killer, you really thought I would care about some lame ass deal?"

"Ok but just get it over with." I whisper while closing my eyes.

My eyes finally open after fifteen seconds of nothing happening, and I see Five in front of me. "Hey you're safe now, we are at Vanya's apartment." He whispers with a small smile.

"Five I-" I say before he cuts me off.

"No Y/n let me say something. I have been a complete dick to you: I always treat you like a child, I never let you make your own decisions, and I'm always leaving you. I know it sounds stupid but I thought it was what was best for you. Now I know it definitely is not and that you are strong. I'm going to start leaving you alone and letting you make your own decisions. That's all I wanted to say." He says and once he's finished talking he turns around to walk away.

"Five I love you." I practically yell.

"What?" He responds stopping on his tracks.

"I love you and it's taken me this long to actually realize, but I do. I'm actually so so crazy about you. I just hope you still feel the same way."

"Of course I still feel the same way, I always will for that matter, but I don't know if I can keep hurting you."

"No, don't say that Five."

"You are the most valuable thing in my life and I can't risk me doing something stupid and hurting you even more so. I'm sorry Y/n."

"Five just say you love me at least. I want to hear it before you leave me again." I muster between soft cries.

"I-i-i, I can't Y/n, I can't say it."

"It's not fucking rocket science, it's three damn words."

He pauses for a minute and then responds, "I am really sorry Y/n but I do really have to go."

"If you leave we really are over this time." I whisper because I can't muster much more.

"Goodbye then Y/n, I hope you can forgive me in the future." Then he teleports out of my room.

"What the fuck?" I say under my breath.
