Chapter 4. Bitterness

I could only stare, and feel the heat in my blood rise from Crim's question. 'Do you hate us?'. I can't believe what I'm hearing, I don't know how handle this. I feel my hands get hot an sweaty from my thoughts while I look at Crim. I take a slow, deep breath thinking on the right words to say. I see Sebastian shuffle and sit by Crim, his eyes show worry but not his body language. Then I speak.

"Yes, I do hate you two..."
I see Sebastian tilt his head down with a sigh and Crim keeps staring at me with his cold expression. I stare back at him calmly but my mind is everywhere. I just want to leave and never see their faces, but life seems like it won't give it too me that easy. Suddenly I snap out off thoughts once I hear Sebastian speak.

"Mia, were so sorry. We didn't realize you would have that feeling towards us."
He speaks, just enough that I can hear him over the music in the background.

I frown at his words, not understanding why I shouldn't feel like I shouldn't hate them. I feel in my chest, the anger and hate from their abandonment, an it almost brings tears to my eyes till I blink them back quickly.

Sebastian watches me carefully and I see Crim relax for a moment before he tenses. I see something flicker in his eyes but leaves quickly as it came.

"Is there anyway you can change your feelings about us?"
Crim asks and I just scoff. This guy is kidding me right now, so I just stand up and pull my dress down a bit since it rose.

"No. Good night."
I turn an leave huffing, hoping that my legs don't give out from the adrenaline I have since they won't stop shaking. I get to the stairs that leads too the min level of the club till I feel my body being lifted. I scream only to realize that I'm someone's shoulder.

"Your not leaving yet."
I hear Crim's voice and I see Sebastian right behind him looking at me with a smile. I gasp and hit the bottom of Crim's back, only too get a chuckle out of him. I protest my rights but shortly see that won't get anywhere.

I notice that were walking down a hallways. I didn't know this club had rooms. Sebastian smiles at me happily.

"Do not worry Mia, we will keep you safe."

I'm going to die.

Crim opens a door an walks into a room and I get thrown on a bed. The room is almost like a pent suite, but less flashy. I see Sebastian shut an lock the door. I look at Crim who is still straight faced, I only glare back.

"What do you fucker's want."
I snarl but Sebastian walks up with a chuckle

"Easy Mia."
I glare but Crim gets my attention on him once he grabs my jaw and turns it to him. I softly gasp at our closeness, I even smell his minty breath.

"Mia, let us make it up to you. For all the years we were gone."
He spoke calmly, only to have myself snap out of my trance. I shook my head and glared.

"No. I don't see the point. You left for whatever reason, and I don't want to hear it at all."
Crim lets my face go and walks away from me. Sebastian frowns and speaks.

"Mia please. Work with us about this."
I huff and move and stand up and fix my dress, along with my hair.

"Why? You guys did what you did. Left with no contact. Nothing for me to get ahold of You guys! I'm not really in the mood to hear anything from you two at all."
Sebastian frowns and Crim turns around and looks at me.

"We understand that but we want you to understand too that we are terribly sorry for what we did. It was wrong yes, but hating us isn't right ether when you do not know the full story your self."

I froze in place. Crimson Hall at his best. He always had a way with his words to get you stuck, as he was doing it now. I frown and turns and faced away from them.

"I'm not ready to hear it Crim. Once I'm really ready to know and 'forgive' you guys, I will send the memo."

I cross my arms and Sebastian sighs while plopping on the bed and running his hands threw his hair. I glance at his face, and see his stress and pain surge threw. I frown to myself, feeling bad, but I knew that I had to stand my ground. I didn't want to be stubborn but I was still hurt, I
wasn't letting them off that easy.

Crim moves by me and gets a drink from the mini bar in front of us. He takes a swig at the vodka an looks at me.

"Alright. Then we will wait for that memo."

I watch him, internally sighing to myself. They've changed in there looks but attitudes, not so much. Crim nods to me and I hear Sebastian.

"This is going to be awesome! During that time we can show her how much we mean what we say!"

I look at him and Crim nods. He turns and looks at me with his soft smile.

"Yes we can."
I blush and huff and look away.

"Yea yea, whatever."
I feel a hand on my shoulder and I see Sebastian smiling at me. Crim moves to my other side so I'm between two tall, handsome men.

"Have faith in us Mia. We really want to prove too you, we want your trust again. Like old times."
Sebastian smiles and kisses my forehead. I relax for a moment and sigh softly.

"Okay Sebastian."
I pat his hand that's on my shoulder then feel Crim's hand in my back, rubbing small circles. Then Crim clears his throat softly.

"Alright. Shall we walk you too your car?"

I look at him and smile softly with a nod. I grip my hands and speak quietly.

"Yes please."
Sebastian smiled an takes my hand and walks while Crim follows. I keep my head lightly down and think. I wonder if I should put my trust in them? No, not yet Mia. Keep testing them, see what they will do.

They walk me out to my Buick, my poor baby, looking old. I grab my keys and notice some people being loud and drunk. I turn and look at Sebastian who keeps smiling, like always. Crim leans on my car and crosses his arms.

"You'll drive safely right?"
I huff at his question, and they tell me I shouldn't doubt them? I just nod and unlock my car.

"Yes Crim, she's pulled me through many times. I'll be fine."
Sebastian holds out my door and nods.

"Yea but you know Crim, he's a worry wart."
He teases but I see Crim's eye drill into him. I smiled softly an nod. I start up my car, but she doesn't come to life. I frown and start her up again, but nothing. I get out the car and walk to the front and pull up the hood.

Crim watches me and Sebastian tries not to laugh. I lean and check on the water, oil and some other things. I don't see the problem so I close the hood.

I turn to see a different expression on the two men. Sebastian eyes look hooded while Crim looks ready to jump me. I stand there for a moment before grabbing my keys and locking up my car. Sebastian clears his throat and Crim looks away for a moment then back at me.

"If you want, we can call someone to fix your car."
I waved it off. Not really wanting help from them at the moment.

"No thanks. I'll just walk."
I hear Sebastian gasp and he grabs my hand.

"Wait please don't do that. There are weirdos out here Mia. How about we give you a ride home? Please?"
I stare at him and sigh while pulling my hand back roughly.

"Fine. Hurry up."
Sebastian smiled and Crim pulls out his phone and calls his driver. His black SUV pulls up and Crim opens the door, which I take and get into the car. Sebastian follows and sits next to me, while Crim gets the other side so I'm in the middle.

The ride was quiet, which I was thankful for. I lean my head back and feel my self drift into sleep, but I feel both my hands be taken into two others hands, which makes me fall into a deep sleep.
