Glenda

Chapter 27

I have never been one to cry in front of others, but I was full-on sobbing, snot falling puffy eyed sobbing. She just stared at me for a minute before I heard her soft voice, "Fio?" When I finally looked up and into her eyes I could see the genuine concern she held for me.

I just kept telling her I was sorry, I was wrong, over and over. Closing my eyes as I spoke the words, unable to look at her with all the guilt I felt. It was not long after that I felt a shift on my bed and a small then pair of arms hold me. She whispered to me gently, "It's okay, I forgive you. Were okay. It's going to be okay."

In that moment, it all came tumbling out. I told her what I had overheard my mother saying hours ago. She didn't look shocked, but she had a look of sympathy on her face. How could she care for such a monster like my self. It wasn't long after, with the drain from all the emotions and the pain from our injuries that we both fell asleep curled up in the same bed.
I knew then and there I was going to stop Mia, and become a brother, worthy of a sister like Glenda.

Glenda's Pov: my head was pounding, but I could faintly make out bits and pieces of conversation enough to know that Mia had tried to kill me and Fio. She felt no remorse or guilt for the near murder of her son, but the man did. Not long after I drifted off into sleep, one filled with the happy memories of me and mom.

I never would have imaged that when I woke up what I would be facing. Looking at Fio as he cried, it almost broke my heart and I felt for him. It didnt take a genius to know that he had heard her and the hurt full words.

Finally I called out to him in concern and he looked me in the eyes before he shut them again only to tell me he was sorry. I knew then that things between us would be different. Would be better. So I went to him and offered what little comfort I could.  It wasn't long after that sleep took hold of us.

(I know this chapter was kinda short but it has been a long minute since I uploaded and did want to keep you all waiting any longer. Hope you enjoyed and another chapter will be out later.)
