Picking up from where I
✨Dramatically✨
Left off!

Wow...it was...Armaros singing...he sounds...so...

"WHO'S THERE?!" Armaros suddenly tenses up.

I jump, obviously startled.

"U-uh! It's me!" I squeak.

Armaros turns around and his expression IMMEDIATELY softens? He pats the spot next to him, indicating me to sit next to him. Happily, I agree. After all, he's been so nice to me! But...why though...? I was just about to ask him that when he asks,

"What are you doing here so late at night...? And alone..."

I answer, "Well, my headphones failed on me, music blared, Michael, Keith and Cherry laughed, I got embarrassed, came here for fresh air, heard some singing, saw you, got curious, thought the singing was nice..."

I end up talking for five minutes straight.

Armaros raise an eyebrow when I finish.

"Oop! Sorry! ADHD brain!" I chuckle, sheepishly.

Yep! She has ADHD! ✨✨✨

Armaros just laughs.

"Ahahahah! Oh, God! That was PRICELESS...anyway...I came here to reflect...I know I've been such a pain to you, Michael, Keith and that damn succubus...but honestly, I think I'm starting to regret it..."

My expression softens, as I listen to him...

"I...I don't know how it feels to be loved...I don't know how it feels to be cared for...who could care for someone who fell from grace...? Who...who would care about someone who shot a man...I...I'm a monst-"

I cut him off with a HUGE hug...
I felt SO bad for him...
Yeah, he did kill my best friend...
But still...
I let him sob into my shoulder, as I hug him. Five minutes later, his sobbing slowly subsidied...when it did, I said,

"You're not a monster! You're just...a misguided soul...and...you said you don't know how being cared about feels...right...?"

He nods.

"Well...I care!" I say, a BIG smile on my face.

He looked shocked. But happy...

"Really...?" he asks, his eyes wide with hope.

I nod.

"Don't let you or ANYONE ELSE say or think otherwise! Besides, you're reflecting, which means you feel guilt! Only MONSTERS don't regret their actions! See? You're perfect just the way you are...so don't change...m'kay?"

He smiles, and hugs me, tightly.

" Thank you...for...everything...for believing me, trusting me, being with me, making me feel better, being here now, keeping me company. Everything...everything you've done..."

"No need to thank me..." I blush, embarrassed, and rub the back of my neck, sheepishly...

He grins and my sheepish smile and action.

"Hah! God...honestly, you're so predictable...!" He laughs.

I suddenly remember what I was going to ask him...

"Hey, Armaros?"

He looks at me, indicating he was listening...

"Why are you so nice to me, and not the others...?" I finally muster up the courage to ask.

"I...

Please, read this next bit underneath...

Dun!

I take guesses for what he's going to say!
Sorry to leave you on such a cliffhanger!
