Seven Mistakes {Completed}

Seven's P.O.V (Making Up My Mind)

Seven’s P.O.V

 Getting out of my car, I considered what I was doing. If I went in the tan house before me and allowed Anna to see me, then she might grieve more when I am no longer here. It wasn’t that I didn’t believe that I’d be able to stop my brother, because I was without a doubt more skilled than that dirty bag that happens to be related it me. No, I just feared what the agency would do when I am done with Leaven. Knowing them, they might actually send me away from here. For the past two months my boss, Macklin, has been telling me that I’m going to move soon and start working in another department.

 Running my hand through my short black hair, I inhaled deeply. I haven’t even told Max and gosh knows when I do he is going to flip shit faster than pancakes.

 Resting my back on my car door, I looked at the house in front of me intently. I also feared the look on Anna’s face when I tell her. I could see her now. First she will have this look in her blue eyes that makes me instantly feel bad. Then tears will spill out of her eyes, followed by her yelling at me for not telling her. Finally, Annabelle would more than likely beg me to stay.

 I started to juggled my car keys between my right and left hand. I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t go in that house only to come face to face with the two people in my life, besides Heaven, that I’m very close with.

 Turning around, I started to unlock the car, only to find that I couldn’t. My body was frozen and unwilling to leave this place. I had to see Anna, even if only for my selfish gain...

 Giving a sharp twist of my heel, I made my way to the front door. I held regret in every step as if I’d already put on a smile and acted like nothing was going on.

 I didn’t allow myself to over think as I immediately knocked on the red door before me. Hearing heavy footsteps from the other side of the door, I silently prayed that I could hold it together and not tell either one of them because it wasn’t the right time … but then again, when is the right time?

 “Hey, man, so glad you could make it!" Max said with sarcasm leaking in his voice.

 I knew he was upset that I took so long to get here, but truth be told I kept turning around, only to find myself here at the end of it all. I just couldn’t bear the thought of coming here and seeing Max and Anna. I’d rather stay back in Florida and cover up Max’s trail that led here and send Leaven on a false chase that led to me instead.

 “Sorry, I got lost,” I lied as I entered the house.

 “Lost? You offend me Seven. I know you're a wiz with directions,” Max commented as he closed and locked the front door.

 Looking around the living room I saw no sign of Anna. “Guess you don’t know me that well,” I flatly stated.

 Max threw his hands up in the air, as if he resigned from the argument, I knew, I was provoking. “Whatever, Man. By the way, your sleeping beauty is upstairs. Oh, and I guess I should tell you, she knows about Jenny.”

 I looked at Max with wide, angered eyes. “What?!”

 “Sorry, I was telling her about my sister. Jenny’s name slipped,” Max stated with the guiltiest look I think anyone could muster.

 “What did you tell her?” I questioned.

 “Well, the truth, that Jenny was part of your cover up. She was helping keep you looking as normal as possible so Leaven wouldn’t think you were a part of any law enforcement agency.”

 “You know we can get in very serious trouble for telling her that. Macklin gave us off time to stop my brother, he told us not to tell anyone or he will deal with them, personally. Telling Anna has put her in danger! Gosh! Just go shoot yourself,” I fired with a loss for good comebacks because I was so hot headed at that moment.
