Souls of Darkness

Broken Past

We sat there in silence, for what seemed like hours, until Dio broke it. "So, you wanna talk about it?" He asked, his voice filled with concern "I did lots of research after she died. I would go days without eating, and I would be stuck in my room looking up things about Ghouls. When I met Gary he offered me his place and I agreed. My rose and his rose had grown together, so I had to stay with him. He practically raised me and helped me with my research. I stopped obsessing after a while, but that night I still remember like it was yesterday. Her cries of pain, the blood splatter. I remember it all." I fought back tears as I poured this information out onto Dio. He say there taking it all in. "I'm sorry." That's all he said as we pulled into my driveway. "Do you wanna, go on an actual date? Like, an amusement park or something?" He asked. I nodded in response and teared up a bit. He saw, so I whipped my head around. I heard  him sigh as he pulled me closer to him. Our eyes met and he wiped away tears with his thumb. His warmth filled me. Ever since my mother died I haven't felt this way before. "D-" he cut me off with a soft kiss. I closed my eyes and relaxed, putting my hand on his leg. He pulled away slowly and smiled. "God, I was wanting to do that for a while!" I held back laughter.
