Difference

Chapter twenty-two.

Blane Orson
________

I wanted to hold Aliyah so bad, as we walked in together the next day.

" To skip this whole talk, we've made our decision and it's to stick with the rule. You both will be killed in less than 15 minutes. " The head ruler explained.

15 minutes, only 15 minutes and I won't get to hold Brynn anymore. I will never get to help Blaire with her panic attacks, I won't get to Boston reach her dream to be a model.

I will never get to show Blaken how to drive, or walk any of my sisters down the isle.

Hold them in my arms, when they get their heartbroken for the first time. I won't be here for anything.

Death is the price you pay, for love.

Aliyah is visibly shaking, her breathing is sky high. Both of our families combined, besides my sibling start to rush over.

Before they do, I grab her and lead her into the hallway. She crawls into my arms, hyperventilating as she cried. " Blane, Blane im scared. Im so scared. "

All I could do is hold her, but that's what I wanted to do. " I don't want to die, I haven't gotten to do anything yet. There's so many things I wanted to do..like be a mom or a wife. "

" I know, I know. Im so sorry this is happening Lemon..I never expected it to end this way. " Tears breach my eyes, when her parents open the door and grab her into their arms leaving me alone.

My mother comes out, looking at me in tears. I look at her, before opening my arms up. She crashes into me, starting to cry into my chest.

A single tear drops down my face, I've never felt this way before. It feels like I've already died, when I haven't.

The guards bust through the hallways, gripping me and Aliyah's arms.

Aliyah's scream rings my eardrum, scarring into my heart. I reach for her hand, she grabs it. They throw us into a dark room, alone.

We both take turns looking around, I notice the door props open. An unknown woman formally walks in, " Lola? " Aliyah's voice changes.

" Oh my dear, what have you done? " The ' Lola ' woman looks at her then at me.

" I fell in-love again, when I thought I wouldn't. " Her voice cracks. Inlove?

The woman reaches for our hands, helping us up. " I'm not gonna let them do this to you guys, okay? Especially not my favorite daughter in law. "

Lakens mom, it all makes sense in my head.

" What's the plan? " Aliyah squints her eyebrows. " You two, y'all are going to persuade the judge. " She explains.

The judge is stubborn, Id known that for many years. She takes us out of the room, and back into the court room.

" Im sorry to bother you, but your honor please listen to their story. " She hold both of our arms.

She ushers me forward, I begin to explain. " Your honor, I'm sorry for waisting your time. But could I have a moment? "

The judge looks at me, before nodding silently.

" Mrs. Rain and I first met at a ball, the one you threw for supposedly to get along.I had been there for about 20 minutes, before she arrived. When she was at the top of the stairs, I could see she was looking around. "

Those beautiful big brown eyes.

" Her eyes caught mine, we held at each other's eyes before she realized her parents were downstairs at that moment. I've never been so curious in a set of eyes, your honor. But Mrs. Rains, made me wonder what was beneath them. I'd never been more interested, of someone who'd hold eye contact with mine. "

" Shortly after, I could see she was sitting alone and I finally approached her. Putting my hand on her shoulder, she slid a knife to my hand surprising me. I had asked her to dance anyway, that's when we found out we were each others worst enemies. "

The honor pays attention to the story, " So Mr. Orson..after she had physically put a knife on your hand. You asked her to dance? " She looked at me crazy.

" Yeah, I did. Because, it was surprising to me that not only she was my worst enemy. But more so, the first woman I'd ever actually been attracted to. The first to ever ignite a fire in me, to not be scared of me. "

" She is one of the most, or more so the most stubborn and aggravating person you'll ever meet. But that's why I like her, she won't take someone's rudeness."

" My god, she wont even take mine. Even if she drives me absolutely crazy stupid, I couldn't imagine a world without her in it. "

I don't think I could live in a world without her, if she ever died..my soul would go along with hers.

" I've never wanted to be around a person as much as I want to be around her. She's the funniest, bravest, kindest when she wants to be, and caring person I've ever met. "

It's the truth, she was the first person I could tolerate being around for hours on end.

" Mrs. Rain was my first enemy that I didn't want to kill, but torment to pieces because it satisfied me she would do the same back. "

As much as she annoys the living crap out of me.

" For some reason, we always kept in contact..even as enemies. Telling each other part of our day, but along the lines we started to like one another. "

" I had started to invite her over to my house, which took awhile for me to do because of my abusive father who was killed a few days ago. "

She knew about my father, but didn't leave. Instead she stayed, and took care of me while I was in pain.

" Me and Mrs. Rain had told eachother about our feelings, after one night after another ball of celebration. "

" We both had realized when she was teaching me how to salsa dance, and collapsed on me. Which ended up with her running out of my car, and I had to chase her in the rain. "

" Long story short, I don't want to bore you any longer, I truly.." I hesitate.

I've never told anyone but my sibling, that I'd loved them.

Love was a powerful word, but it was how I felt about Aliyah. Even if we just had gotten together the day before yesterday.

I didn't know what love had actually meant, but I wondered if it was along the lines of what I felt for Aliyah.

" Your honor, at the end of the story.. I fell inlove with the girl who with the first time meeting, held a knife to my hand. "

" Who took care of me, and broke my life down in pieces to know who I actually was. The girl who strengthens me everyday, instead or beating me down. "

" But in the most of it, I fell inlove with my worst enemy. "
