The Devil's Rebirth (On Hold)

Chapter 32

I'm so sorry for taking so long to update! Feel free to relieve your frustration by poking me on you computer screen, O___O <--- That's supposed to be me. It's okay to maybe even punch it, there's not that many of you. I tried to make it long, and there's a twist ;). Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"That's right, you better run!" I yelled as the three boys scurried away.

They better not pick on Xander ever again!

I turned around and faced Xander.

"Why didn't you tell me what they were doing to you?" It hurt me a little that he didn't tell me about this. Did he not trust me?

"I-I didn't want to seem lame and weak," he replied, avoiding my gaze by looking at the ground.

"You already do so much for me, I don't want to be a heavier burden than I already am," he added.

Well, that's wrong. He isn't a burden to me at all. I helped him because I care about him.

"You're not a burden," I said.

He lifted his head up. His bluish gray eyes sparkling. I never noticed how pretty his eyes were.

"Really?"

"Really, you're not a burden at all. You're an important person to me," I said.

His eyes were now looking into mine.

The memory of him kissing me suddenly flashed in my mind.

I looked away quickly. I could feel my cheeks flushing.

"A-Avril, about that kiss, um, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that, there was something wrong with me that day."

 I could tell that he was lying. Not only is he lying to me, he's lying to himself. I've seen people do that. Like when Audriana tried to deny falling in love with my brother, Jake.

 Audriana, I wonder if she still hates me. Probably. She hasn't even tried talking to me, let alone having eye contact with me.

 "Oh, okay. I get what you mean," I responded, trying to dismiss this topic.  

It was strange though, I had never had the urge to kiss someone back. I have to be more careful around Xander, a human and Devil relationship would definitely be looked down upon. 

"Are you ready for our one week break?" Xander asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

"Huh? Oh, yeah. They really give us a lot of breaks, huh?" 

"What are you gonna do during the break?"  

"I don't know, maybe visit my parents and my little sister, 

" I replied. I haven't seen my parents in a while.  

I hope word hasn't gotten out to them about my aggressive killing and attempting- to- kill spree.  

"What about your brother? I mean, I know that you see him at school, but I barely ever see you talk." 

My brother. Jake. 

I haven't seen him lately, and I don't know if he hates me like everyone else. There's so many things that I don't know about. I don't know what that black thing was. I don't know what happened to me when I tried to kill Audriana. I don't know about my feelings for Xander.  

But I do know that Jake loves Audriana. A lot. Part of me fears the hate that might come, because he's my brother. But the other part of me wouldn't be surprised if he despised me like Audriana does.
