Chapter Nine: What's Broken Can't Possibly be Broken Again
We had just finished our plan on how to take my father down. My mother had agreed to meet and talk, especially after she found out what my father did to me. Since she didn't know what I had gone through or what I was forced to do she would help us. I had also called three hitters, we needed help. Quinn, Mikel Dayan, and a friend of mine whose real name I didn't know. I called her Em, her name used to be Embery and she used to be a he. Eliot sat down next to me.
"So what you said last night, are you really ready?"
"Yeah, I am Eliot. Are you?" I asked. It had been three months since that conversation between him and Sophie and a month since that conversation we had in my bedroom. We had spent that time trying to figure the best move of how to take my father and brother out and my brother's best friend Braden Boyle.
"Yeah, I'm ready but I'm worried about hurting you," Eliot said.
"Eliot, I'm ready broken. My heart isn't even whole to start with. It can't possibly be broken again." He looked at me in a questioning way. "I'm not like a car that can be fixed Eliot. I'm never going to run right. But I do know that you are the only person I could ever be with. I'm still learning to trust the others."
"I know trust is hard for you, but you can trust these guys," Eliot said.
"I know Eliot the only reason I am even trying to learn to trust them is because you do. I would follow you blind folded through a wild fire on a rope bridge," I said smiling at him.
He gave me a weak smile, "What about my past?"
"What about it?" I asked. He looked at me as though I just asked the dumbest thing possible. "We all have a past Eliot. The thing is it is in the past. The past shapes us but doesn't make you who you are. Both of us should know that better than anyone," I said. I saw tears form in his eyes at my words. I placed my hand on the side of his face and used my thumb to wipe away the tears. I pulled him to a hug as the tears started fall more freely. I was the only person that ever saw this side of him.
