Secrets of the lost past

Chapter 27

Even though it has only been a day, it feels like centuries have passed.

-I know you don't like it when I ask, but I have to. You seem so gloomy, are you sure everything is alright? -Darius asked, actually wanting to know the answer.

-I'm good. I'm just tired -I said and I walked off to my room.

What did she mean by "you can come talk to me"? Why did she want me to switch sides? Why did I tell her everything?

I couldn't take it. I wanted to ask her a bunch of questions, so I went to her house.

-Next to the castle...

"I wouldn't have to think about this, if I wouldn't've been so stupid..."

I knocked on the door, and she opened in seconds.

-Hello! Come on in! -she said with a relieved face.

We walked in, and that house was a mini version of the castle. The furniture looked so gorgeous, but I couldn't pay attention to any of that. All I thought about was this blowing over.

-Do you want any coffee? Or tea?

-No, thank you. I just wanted to ask you something -I said and she glanced at me with a light smile on her face. -Important.

-What happened?

-Why did you ask me to join you? This is all I could keep in my head, and you don't even know me.

-It seemed like you were incredibly unhappy, so I thought that you would be happier with us. With me -she said, and she looked deep in my eyes trying to read my expression.

-But...

-No buts. All I want is a yes or no. One or the other -she stated more seriously.

-I...I don't know. I can't turn my back on them. I was with them for the longest time.

-I know you're going through much, but I'd make you the happiest alive. Please...

I just stared deep into my head, this was one of the hardest decisions ever. On one hand I have friends, and the person who keeps the life in me. The other hand gives me joy, the joy I wanted for all my years of living. But with strangers.

-I'm sorry, but I can't betray them like that.

-It's okay, as long as you're happy -she said, and she went to the door. -I'll be here. No matter what you choose.

-Thank you.

I walked out of the door, and I felt like the rock on my chest didn't move. Not even a little.

I need to rest my eyes a bit...

"What will they think of me? What will my guardian angel think of me?"

Aria

-Where is Irene? -Darius asked, while he looked around the house.

-I don't actually know. Did she go out with Jasper? He isn't here either -I said, and I continued to look at some photos.

I flipped one over and I saw a weird text on it.

-Ver ay ther. What? -I questioned, flipping the picture over. -I remember this. Dimitry took this of me and Jasper. But what is this text?

-I have no clue, but shouldn't we be looking for them?

-It would just be a waste of time. They're probably hanging out or something -Dimitry interrupted our talk.

-You think? I feel a little worried.

-It will be okay. You know they both like going out.

Dimitry thinks it'll be fine, but I feel like something happened. Something Jasper wouldn't get himself into. Something Irene hates.
