24: Empty Promises

Chapter 24

-Miracle Astor-

Move somewhere far away?

Me?

In Europe?

My lips trembled as my eyes widened, the first thing it looked for was my savior, my angel, my Gabriel.

And seeing his beautiful frowning face brought a great pain inside of my heart that I almost forgot the present problem I'm having. The thought of being separated from Gabriel seemed to be the worst possible thing in my life right now, I don't think I can handle it. I don't want to handle it.

And it's really amusing, to think that several days ago I was so desperate in making him leave me alone, hurting him with my words, turning him down and denying all I feel for him.

Now I'm a crying mess at the thought of not seeing him, or possibly being separated from him.

"I-I don't w-want to." I shook my head and cried against Damion's shoulder as he was still carrying me. But I kept looking at Gabriel, scared that he'd just suddenly disappear if I took my eyes away from him.

"Please, d-don't make me." I begged Damion in a small, pleading voice.

I expected Maddox and Corbin to get angry and snap at me like they would usually do, but I was shocked by their reactions.

Both of them looked at me upset and kind of disappointed almost as if they didn't want me to go too. Is that right? But... Both of them are always so cruel to me. They hate me. They are mad at me. They blame me. Corbin had made it his mission to make my life hell inside the house and school, while Maddox has long been wishing for me to be gone out of their lives.

Now is their chance.

But why are they sad?

I don't like them looking at me like that.

I'm only upset to leave because of Gabriel and Damion. They are the only ones who I don't want to be separated from.

"Sweetheart, this is the only safest option we have."

Damion says that, but I don't believe him.

How can it be true when I've only felt the safest with him and with Gabriel?

If they're not going to be there, I will never feel safe.

"I don't want you to leave too, sweetheart, I need you here, I want you here, but we need you to be safe more. And you won't stay there for long, I promise" Damion softly told me, placing a kiss on my forehead but I shook my head. It's probably the very first time I ever refused my eldest brother's words.

Promise.

I'm beginning to hate that word now.

They always tell me that, they always promise, but those promises end up always breaking.

Daddy promised me that he wouldn't leave me, but he died.

They promised me that I wasn't going to be hurt again, but I still got hurt.

They are sending me away and they are probably doing it on purpose to finally get rid of me, once they send me off to only God knows where I'm never going to get back here, they want to send me away so they won't have to deal with a mess a mistake which is me, their lives would finally be so much easier. They can use those nude photos that leaked as an excuse to the public as a necessary means to send me away, but the truth is it's all they want. My brothers simply want me gone.

My heart dropped.

Just when I thought my life is going to be okay now, of course it turns out I'm not that blessed to be able to live a normal life I want for myself.
