"Whynot please just talk to me" Demtrey begged.
"No" I told myself strictly "don't." I flipped the page of my picture book.
"You can't even read!" I glanced up at him and raised my eyebrow "no one else can hear we don't have to pretend, Demtrey."
"Its your lies not mine" he shrugged.
Guilt hit me like a ton of bricks as his coldly true words sank in. "Its not a lie" i snapped angrilly.
"I don't wanna fight" he said "I want to talk, whynot please I can't stand this silence."
"Then go home" i told him coldly instantly regretting it.
he blinked, the only sign that the words had any effect on him, but I knew Demtrey. Those words had hit him hard and by surprise. "I can't" he said with an emotionless voice.
"Demtrey i'm sorry" i said. Yes I should've been trying like crazy to make him go back but my heart and my mind couldn't agree. My head said make him go back this in't safe. My heart wouldn't do it though it just couldn't let go. i gasped "Demtrey!"
"Hm" he was more quiet then usual obviously hurt by my unkind words.
"I know why you can't back!" He gestured for me to go on. "Umm.." I couldn't say it out loud. If I admitted how i felt for demtrey out loud right now..I don't think i could ever let him go. i love him and I knew he knew it but i couldn't say it.
" You were saying?" I sighed staying silent. "whynot not for a second am I going to pretend to know whats going on in your complex mind but I can tell its bothering you please just let me help you."
I wanted so badly to talk to him. I couldn't take it any more. My heart was stronger then my mind and it took over. "I can't let you go" i said "I know I should but no matter how many times I tell myself that my heart just won't let me."
He smiled slightly "Why should you?" he asked.
"Because" I said honestly not knowing "because your 17 and I'm 2 because your just an IF and I'm real because because.."
"Because" he glanced at the door "you know both those things are only partially true."
"Because I'm scared" I said so quietly only Demtrey could've possibly ever hear me. Only he knew me well enough to listen for my little mutters and actually understand them.
He sighed and got up from his chair moving to sit next to me on the bed. "Whynot" he said softly "there's nothing to be scared about."
I looked at the door. I could hear Nini and Mustang talking.
"He's not safe."
"He's not real."
"Try telling that to whynot."
I could hear there conversation through the door. I wanted to just yell "Shutup you don't know anything about him or Dream or any of this!" My fear was the only thing standing in my way. "What about my family" I asked "your part of dream demtrey and you know why its in my mind.''
He just shook his head then gripped my shoulders so I was looking at him and couldn't look away "Whynot their your family! They will love you no matter what."
"No they won't! they won't understand they'll-"
"You won't know unless you try." I knew he was right. I sighed and stared at the door. "Get up" I told myself. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I looked up at me and smiled encouragingly. i smiled a small smile back and got up. i slowly walked through the door Demtrey's hand in mine giving me the strength I needed to not run back to my bed. i pushed the door open.
"We need to make him-" mustang turned when she saw Nini look at me. "Ummm" I started "I need to talk to you."
"About what?" Nini asked Mustang just glared at Demtrey. That hurt me.
"about" i stopped not knowing what to say. They weren't exactly their parents biggest fans but still who knew how they would react to what i'd tell them. What if the fact we were only half siblingsmadethem hate me before I even told them about my real dad.
"N-" I began but stopped when I saw the look on Demtreys face. it wasn't anger but disappointment. i couldn't bear it. I sighed "About my dad."
"Oh" Mustang said. She hated when I brought this subject up.
"Not yours" i said.
she tiled her head to the side giving me a strange look "Whynot were sisters."
"Half sisters" I said. Mustang and Nini both just stared at me. I wished so badly I could read minds. i sighed before continuing "mom was raped" mustang stared at me probably wondering how I so much as knew that word. I continued it getting harder by the second "By a dev." I couldn't continue. i couldn't!
"A what" Mustang managed to ask. nini on the other hand was staring at me like I wa an alien.
"How does she know about those?" I turned to see an unfamiliar person. It was a guy with tan skin. He was very muscular. he had auburn eyes and his face was framed with brown hair.
"Who's that" I asked my free hand instinctively balling into a fist. i felt Demtrey get tens next to me the quickly relax. he gave me a reassuring smile that said 'its ok.'
Nini looked back and forth before looking at the stranger "i don't know" she said then turned to me "that's Fred now how do you know about Dev's?"
"I should be asking you" I responded a bit angrily. I couldn'ty help it. It was the stupid instincts I had inherited from my dad. Nini looked a bit surprise and I knew my tone was sharper then usual. I sighed taking a deep breath and focusing on Demtreys hand in mine. "i'm part dev" I explained.
"What!" Nini and Fred both yelled in unison.
before I could start to respond I heard a voice. It was cold and practically had me shaking with fear. 'I'm on my way" I knew that voice. i hated the voice. It was the one I dreaded more then any other. The one that practically had a spot reserved for me in hell. "I should be there by next week. I'm trying to get you first if you don't help me soon I'll leave you." the voice was emotionless and bossy. I mean it wasn't like it was a big deal. Unless you count killing your own daughter as a big deal. I mean that's all he was threatening to do.
demtrey gave me a concerned look realizing that i had been removed for a second. Everyone else seemed to just think that I was being quiet. "What is a dev?" Mustang asked. I was to frozen with fear to answer. My dad? My dad was coming.
"Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Katey yelled walking in along with what looked to be another If. I just looked at her and so did every one else. "What?"
