There is deep darkness inside my heart from the last prevent events. As I stood before the man I so dearly loved, one who shared the same feelings only problem is I don't personally know him. I don't know who he is or where he actually came from, nor did I feel like I needed to ask. Until now. I didn't know Scotts middle name either come to think about it. This filled me with confusion and somewhat skeptical of him once again. 

"Lillith?" He was watching me stair out the window for a long period of time. 

"What is it?" 

"Do you see something out there?" 

"No.." 

It could have possibly been the tone in my voice or a look I had in my eyes, Scott could tell something was bothering me. Eventually he exploded with a bomb of frustration.  

"You're tired of the secrets. Trust me I don't want to keep them from you. I just feel it is safer if I do Lillith.." 

Safer? Really? What on Earth is this man talking about? What is his dark past dose this man has that is so utterly terrible?  I soon asked him these exact questions after I asked myself them as if I would have the answer. 

"To start with my dad was a very bad man. He left my mother and I alone when I was around 9 or 10. Mom remarried, and my brother always abused me. Though out life I had to learn to take care of and defend myself. I unfortunately found the thrill in fighting and started to do frequently. I also lied to you about my stomach before you let me in here." 

Figures..

"Oh?" I asked acting completely surprised at this. 

"I was fighting a guy named this guy named Spencer and well he well tried to kill me." He showed me the scar on his stomach. I gasped, though I tried to keep it in. 

"Oh god.." 

"Just as the fight was coming to an end my entire body filled will adrenaline and I knocked him out entirely cold it killed him. I guess I had beat him to such a bloodied pulp it was intense that it completely ended him. After I thought about killing myself that night as well, I could not stand the thought of accidently taking someone's life." 

I gave Scott a long hug before he finished his story. 

"After I left, his girlfriend came up to me and gave me a hug thanking me for saving her. She informed he that he was very abusive and was planning to kill her in cold blood. I then realized that I shouldn't feel any sort of guilt and saw him as a man who was completely soulless a demon without nothing more than the feeling of anger and adrenaline. I realized I have a soul.." 

"I am sorry I had no-" he interrupted to continue. 

"That rainy night you found me in your shed I had got jumped. It happened about 12 miles, but it could have been less, it felt like years. I was stabbed with a piece of sharpened medal." 

"You should have gone to the hospital." 

 "I have always had a hard time trusting people. Then when it came to you, it was different. It was so easy to come to you from the shed.. You helped me, and yet did not know me. You did nut judge or at least not out loud. You invited me to stay with you. Even know after everything I am not too sure when I did, but I fell in love with you. And I am NOT leaving you alone.. Not now not ever." 

"I am glad and I am sorry that you endured all that alone. I simply thought you were embarrassed or-" 

"Lying......" 

I broke into a guilty blush as I nodded my head. 

"I should have learned how to trust, at least trust you." 

"I really do not blame you. After Derik or the fight months prior. Only 2 people who were both demons in this world but I sware to you I have only ever wanted to protect you."  

"Scott, I believe you. I give you my ultimate trust don't worry. I know that I was unfair, and I am sorry for that. We need to figure out who or what happened to mom, Larry and to clean your name so we can stay together I don't want to lose you." 

"And school?" 

"GED" 

"Lillith you need to at least go get your class work; they should understand the absence at least I'd hope." 

Nodding. And unfortunately, I did not deal with these 10 years of absolute hell just to fall out the last 1 1/2  years. 

"What will you do?" 

"Search." 

"We could just run away you know. Find someplace warm, a place warm and sunny with sand ?" 

"Tempting but we could only run so long eventually everything would catch up to us and I wont put you in any sort of danger." 

Scott placed a sweet kiss on my forehead before parting ways. Shakespear was indeed right as parting was indeed such a sweet sorrow. This was the first night we slept without worry without issue. Knowing Scotts story, his history, and now with us having a plan now everything would be alright eventually right Scott Lunderfall? 

But what do I know...?
