Felix sandman and the mysterious girl

Chapter 8

Recap: Felix stands up, smiling brightly, and looks straight into my eyes. "Violet, I love you too."

Felix P.O.V

I told Violet that I loved her. Wow. I can't believe that she loves me back, given that I've bullied her her entire life, she should hate me. But the emotion in her eyes, there's no mistaking it. Pure happiness, happiness that just told her that I loved her.

I just don't know how to tell her about whats going on, and giving by the confused look on her face, she knows something is just plain weird about this. I need to tell her, even though right now I just want her to know that I love her so much.

"Violet"

"Yes, Felix"

"Would you like to go to StarBucks with me so I can tell you whats going on here"

"Yes please that would be great"

We were walking over to StarBucks and of course a bunch of foooers came running over to get pictures and autographs, they all looked at Violet and gave her a funny look like what is she doing here and who the hell is that.

Once I was done with pictures and autographs we fianlly made it to StarBucks we went and found a seat in the corner of the room.

"What would you like to drink"

"Umm, I would like a pumkin spice latte please"

"Of course, My Lady"

Once I said that she giggled a little so I went to order our drinks.

When I made it back to the table I saw that Oscar and Omar were there talking to her. I felt a spark of jealousy surge inside of me, then I remembered that they dont like her that way, or at all for that matter. So I walked over to them at the table.

For the first time in my life, I'm unhappy that my friends showed up. "Hey, what are you guys doing here"

"We just came to see this little girl"

I sigh, I don't want to be rude to my friends, but I'm done with this stupid deal. I can't watch Violet be hurt anymore. I steel myself "Can you guys leave".

They focus their attention on me now.
"What?"

"I asked you to leave"

They stare at me shocked and I feel the chatter in the room cease, anticipating a fight. But then, they get up, and they leave.

From the corner of my eye, I see Violet staring at me. Confused. I sigh, then take her hand and, ignoring the stares, exit the building.

We arrive at her front steps in a matter of minutes.

She turns to me, shocked "How the heck do you know where I live?"

Now that, that is the question I was hoping she wouldn't ask. "Long story. Can we just go inside?"

She opens the door, leading me into a spacious but broken room. The curtains are pinned tight, glass litters the floor and the couch is on its back.
She flinches while walking in, probably not even used to being in her own living room.

She walks over and carefully rights the couch in one fluid movement. Then turns to me warily. A pang of hurt goes through me at her distrust, but I should expect it. I ignore my emotions and sit down, patting the seat beside me.

"It all started on the first day of high school... your dad, he had found me and my friends before then. And... he... he conned us." I swallow hard remembering that day. The worst one of my life, I still have the scars.

"He... messed with our heads. Tricked us, he told us that if we didn't make your life miserable, we... we ... would be killed"

"Everyday, everyday I had to watch you get hurt. By me, by my friends. I watched the entire school turn on you. I watched you stay strong through the entire thing. By the first two weeks, whatever your dad had done to me had worn off and I fell for you, I fell hard."

I can feel the tears run down my cheeks as I recount everything to the girl I love. " I went to your dad, pleading with him to stop, to let me stop, so that I could stay with you. I could be your friend. But he got mad, mad that I wouldn't believe his tales. And he... and ... he..." I'm choking on sobs now, face buried in my hands. I don't know if I can go on.

Violets POV

"Felix, you don't have to go on if you can't" I say, concern lacing through my voice. With everything I've been through, had to go through, it seems as though Felix pain matches mine, it might even be worse.

I take his hands and gently remove them from his face. He looks up at me, his eyes seeming darker. Instead of the beautiful raincloud like colour I usually see, they now seem more like ashes, the only thing left after an eruption.

His eyes bore into mine " He took my sister" then he just collapses into me as he cries.

"That's wh-why I was me-mean to you when all I ever w-wanted was to protect y-you" and then he is done. All I hear is the sound of rain in unison with his cries.

Hey guys! So... chapter! Long one too. All my apologies are in the comments of last chapter. So if you want excuses, there you go. We will try to post more during Christmas break- Awesome Toast and Dakota Sandman
