The Elemental Phoenix: Daughter of Zeus (Not Edited and on hold)

Trust / 14

Diavolo sighted and got off me which I was grateful for because it was getting awkward but I was still looking for answers. How come I wasn't dead? Not that I wanted to be dead. Could he have done it? And if so why? Or better yet How? I had so many questions. I needed answers! I backed away slowly, trying to get as far away from him as possible.

I looked at him and saw a flash of hurt in his eyes, but then he said something I didn't know if I should believe.

"I promise I'm not going to hurt you"

He paused, I waited for him to keep going.

"I'm not going to hurt you anymore I promise, I know i should never have kissed you or at least apologized after I kissed you, and I'm so sorry but right now is not the time, you have a questions and your going to get them, just not here" I hadn't noticed that he was walking slowly towards me.

"Stay back!" I shouted

He froze, I contemplated what I would say next.

" I don't know if I'm going crazy or-"

"You are not going crazy" he interrupted me, bluntly.

"Ok if I'm not going crazy then explain to me what in hades just happened"

He started walking towards me again, and I took a step back and another. Gosh I really wish I had a weapon on me, anything really. "Uhhh I can't believe I was stupid enough to leave my pepper spray in my locker." I mentally scolded myself. Useless, my mom gave me that pepper spray and told me to use it if anybody was after me, or wanted to kill me. Honestly I thought she was crazy, usually moms tell their kids to use it if you where being kidnapped or stalked. I was snapped back to reality when my back hit the wall.

He stopped in front of me, giving me enough space to breath but not enough to escape. Oh gods, I'm trapped. A thought occurred in my mind. "STALL" I thought of something to keep him at bay.

"Fine," I said "if you can't answer that question I think you should be able to answer this question"

I took a deep breath

"Why did you steal my first kiss? And not just that why are you making my life miserable, I never did anything to you" I said barely keeping my voice in control. I waited for his answer, as patiently as I could, for someone who was being held hostage, by some freak. I gritted my teeth, when he didn't respond.

His gaze was on the floor, I heard him mumble something but I couldn't comprehend it.

"What?"

"I'M SORRY" he yelled. I was taken back by his response. He looked at me those eyes they where different... I looked closer not realizing I was taking a step towards him too. His eyes held so much pain, so much sadness.

"All my life I have been treated as an outcast, even by my adoptive parents. Do you now what that feels like?" He told me his voice cracked. "No I really don't, but I know what it's like not to have a fatherly love, or be raised correctly by a mother." I thought about all those time I wish I had my father with me to help support my mother, or at least be there with me when my mother couldn't because she was working her a** off, it's a miracle she hasn't fainted for being overworked.

He looked at me cringing possibly from some horrible memories, buried deep in his mind. I let him continue knowing he needed to get it out.

"To try so hard but never reach their expectations. Making yourself believe they love you, because they have too. When really they don't." His next words broke my heart. "People make mistakes, I'm just a mistake. All I wanted was attention, a family, something to escape the loneliness"
