"Would the both of you mind telling me what are you doing in here?" Mr. Durlo asked in a low angry tone. He was pissed off, that I know, but I still couldn't read Phoenix's expression. It was just so lifeless.
"We um....well you see we were just looking around and umm....we found this room. But we didn't touch anything!!" Anya said, raising her hands up defensively.
I could tell Mr. Durlo did believe her. The proof was right there that we were snoopng around. But it's not like we stole anything.
"I said you two can have a look around. I did not, however, say you both can go snooping around in my study." he adressed. "Now please put back that cover over the picture and leave the room."
"Who is she?.." I spoke suddenly. I was talking to Phoenix. I never took my eyes off him, not once. He narrowed his eyes towards me, not answering."Who is she? I wan't to know." I added.
He looked over to the picture, indifference was etched onto to his face. Then he looked back towards me."She is none of your concern. You two shouldn't have come in here. Didn't I tell you the first time?" he hissed.
"Bullshit, tell me who she is" I demanded. My voice rose abit more with each word. I felt my eyes blur up with tears. I felt so hurt. Why wouldnt he want to me to know who she was unless.....no she couldnt be.
"Rico if you can just-"
"No!" I spat " Why won't you tell me?! Who is she? What is she to you? What am I to you!!" I yelled, tears streamed down my cheeks. His face went from blank to shock, as did Mr. Durlo's and Anya's. "You lied to me....you told me you were alone, but that" I shoved my finger at the incrimanating picture" clearly states you weren't alone!! You loved her! So what am I then? Huh!! Just her fucking replacement!?!" My throat began to throb with all the screaming.
"If you would stop screaming like a little bitch, then maybe i'll explain some stuff to you" Each word came out like venom. I felt like a hand slapped me right across my face. I can believe he just called me a bitch.
"I hate you" I utterd between sobs. "I hate you Phoenix Star...I FUCKING HATE YOU!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs."I fucking hate you!! I can't fucking belive I even met you, I can't even believe that I FUCKED YOU!" I sobbed deeply. My head was spinning, I felt my whole world come crashing down.
"Rico please calm down" said Mr. Durlo. He sounded worried. "Your going to hurt yourself"
"Fine then! Let me!" I spat. "I have nothing in this world. Everyone....this is just a dream" I said, pressing my palms on the sides of my head. I couldnt take anymore of this. I immediately ran out of there, and into my room, locking the door behind me and falling to my knees. Everything I thought about Phoenix was a lie. He was just another dream...a dream I can never have...
Anya's Pov
I stood frozen, unable to believe what just happened. Never in my entire life had I seen Rico this upset. He must really love Phoenix. I knew he didn't hate him though. Rico's heart is pure, he doesnt know what hate is. Not like me. I know hate like the back of my hand and right now I'm hating Phoenix.
"Why are you just standing there!" I spat."Go after him! You and I both know he loves you. Why can't you just tell him back!" I yelled.
Phoenix stood quiet, his eyes gazed at the ground. Mr. Durlo cleared his throat before speaking.
"She's right Phoenix. The boy is in love with you and you love him back, don't you?" he stated, crossing his arms over his chest.
Phoenix didn't answer, instead he walked over to the picture on the wall, staring at it. "Our kind...and your kind...we are not supposed to love ." he stated."Love doesn't exsist with vampires-"
