Chapter : NO REGRET

Hailey Ashtoreth's pov

Looking in front of me.

Blinking my eyes a few more times.

Looking at his long silver like hair.

"Leo?" I called out.

Not getting a response, I move near him.

"You're not supposed to be here." I stopped on my track and stared at him.

"I'm here, please come back to us." I mutter not looking at him.

"And if I say I don't want to?" He said as he turn his back on me.

Feeling a needle pricking my heart. I look at him. Stared at his back.

"Leo, I thought we'll take a walk today—" Seeing her.

She's Artemis. The one that Leo loves. So the reason was ..

In Leo's heart and mind. Artemis still lives and exist.

That if he could stay with her, he would give anything.

"Then I cannot force you out here." I said as I smiled at him.

Even if he can't see it. My smile, I still did it.

"Leo, who is she?" Artemis said as she looked at me.

"I'm just passing by since the snow was too strong." I said as I look back.

"Then would you like to stay for a while?" She then asked.

Shaking my head side to side. Answering her a no.

"Then I'll leave the two of you for now." Artemis said.

"Leo, just so you know, we don't want you in danger."

"We'll be happy if you could accept the spell that Aries's offers."

"We just want you safe. If these is what you want, then I'll leave you're mind."

Saying these words. I walk but feeling the need to run. I ran.

Not looking back. I ran and ran to get away.

I don't regret coughing blood.

I don't regret going in to the cave.

I don't regret doing these things for Leo.

Because in the end even if his answer was not favorable to us.

It still got cleared. That to Leo, I am just a reborn goddess.

Who is like Artemis but not Artemis whom he needs.

I am not the person he wants, it is the goddess that I am reborn to.

Suddenly tears came running down my eyes.

I do not know if it's the pain for coughing blood.

Or the pain of getting his refusal to go home.

I turned my back knowing that no one is following me.

Yet I found him. Why? Why does he give me hope when I want to give up?

Why are you being like these Leo? What are you doing to me?

What spell did you cast on me? To make me feel like these.

"You don't want to go home. I already knew it, Leo." I said just for him to know that he does not need to clarify it.

"I never said I do not want to go back. I just asked what if I do not want to go home with you?" He then said as he stared at my eyes.

Using my hands to remove my tears.

I look at him but then I turned my back when I saw the look on his eyes.

"You know that if you do not want to. I won't force you." I said.

"You're still not answering my question Hailey. What if I do not want to go home with you?" He then asked.

Still not looking at him. Not trusting my very own eyes.

"I told you. Then I won't force you—" I froze.

Feeling him hug me from behind. Feelings his warmth.

I really hate this side of Leo. He makes me give up.

But when I'm ready to give up he gives me hope.

So in the very end, his cold heart has already caught my attention.

And it even caught me off guard, that he was able to stole my heart.

Before I've even realize what he's done to me.

I've always shut my heart and feelings.

But till this day it started beating again for someone.

Leo, I'm falling. I know that you won't catch me.

I know that I'll only hurt myself by loving you.

But still, I want to love you. Even if you do not feel the same way.

Please. Just let me. Let me love you till I give up on you.

"We will miss you.. I will miss you." I answered.
