The New Truth

You came back

"Listen, Young-" I started off, before he cut me off.

"She's an intruder?" Young questioned as he pressed a finger on Vicky's shoulder, causing her to stumble back slightly.

"Please-" Vicky started of.

He stormed towards the brown ebony door. My eyes widened.

"Young, stop!" I exclaimed at I ran to him and tried to stop him from opening the door. I grabbed him from behind and clutched his stomach. It looked weird and awkward, but this guy wasn't giving me any choice.

"What are you doing?!" Young exclaimed in shock, as he frantically moved his arms to get out of my grasp.

I looked down and realised that Vicky was grabbing his dark blue pants.

"She's an intruder, I need to report this!" Young yelled. He tried to reach the door knob with his hands, but his hands were an inch away from them.

The situation was really awkward now. It looked like I was literally HUGGING him from behind. And the fact that Vicky was pulling him by his legs wasn't exactly helping.

"Okay, stop!" He ordered as he relaxed his body. I loosened my grip on him, but didn't free him completely. "My pants are going to come of, blondie!" He looked down at Vicky.

She quickly let his legs go, blushed and looked away. I let go of him, as I glared at him.

He turned around and looked at Vicky, who was as red as a tomato now.

"Listen girl. Even if I don't tell them now, you are going to get punished. They'll know somehow." Young said, as he stormed out of the room, and banged the door shut.

Vicky and I heaved out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Vicky." I said to her. "If you're getting caught, I don't know you. Actually, don't get caught."

We stepped out of the room. Vicky had brought her school bag along with her. She had two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in her Tiffin box. I was always jealous of her in this matter, because I've never had Diane make me anything. I always had to eat from the canteen, or have a chef make me something. Even if it's just as simple as a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it shows how much she cares about me.

She handed me one of the sandwiches. I took a bite out of it, as I pressed the button for the elevator.

I didn't say anything to Vicky till we entered the elevator. As of now, she was done with her blushing session. She was currently staring at the numbers on the other side of the elevator, definitely thinking about something.

"You like him?" I asked Vicky as I stuffed my mouth with the last bit of the sandwich. Vicky was still only halfway through the sandwich.

"Who?" She asked, snapping out of her thoughts. She looked at me as she tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.

"Young."

"Ew no. He's creepy." She said as she scrunched her nose. I was kind of glad. "What kind of name is that?"

"He's Asian, I think. I like his name. It's unique." I said, as the door opened leading us to the lobby. In my opinion, it wasn't just his name that was unique. It was him, as a whole.

As we stepped out, the whole lobby kept quiet. Why were they suddenly so quiet? They were creeping me out just like the paparazzi, but these people were quiet. They were all staring at me.

Then after some time, they stopped staring at me.

"Damn, Adri." Vicky said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "You're famous here too."

"Shut up." I told her as we walked out of the automatic door.

Outside, it was the same scene. There were kids walking around the place, but the number was lesser as it was becoming darker. People were walking into the luxurious hotel.

We walked through the garden area, with the number of people lessening.

We kept walking and we passed a couple of shops, who sold candy and peanuts. They were all closed now.

As we walked further, there was a lake. By now, the area was completely empty, except for a silhouette sitting next to the huge lake.

"Who do you think it is?" Vicky whispered to me as we advanced towards the black silhouette. By now it was clear that it was a male. He wasn't moving much. He had his knees to his chest.

Just as I was going to touch his shoulder, somebody rushed past Vicky.

"Daddy!" A small kid exclaimed, joyfully, as he hugged the male silhouette from behind. I identified the boy as Jaden.

That's when I realized the male silhouette was none other than Young.

"Please Jaden, leave me alone." He said, with a tiny touch of hostility in his voice. This guy was a father? And how could he be so rude to such a cute kid? Wait, how old is this guy?

The three year old sat next to his father, nonchalantly, still smiling.

"Um-" Vicky started off, but I stamped her feet to ask her to shut up. But I was too late.

Young and Jaden turned around simultaneously.

"I think we should get going." I said as I grabbed Vicky's hand.

"Wait, there." I heard Young's voice. I flinched.

"Yeah?" I said, acting oblivious.

"What are you doing here?" He asked as he stood up.

I became ready to run. Every time this guy stood up, he looked like he'll just throw a punch right in your face.

"I...me..us...we just came here to ...well...look around the place." I said, with great difficulty, trying to ignore his stare.

Jaden stood up and stood next to Young. And that's when I noticed the similarities. The jet black perms, the brown eyes, the lips.

"Jaden, go back." Young said, without his gaze leaving me.

"But aren't we playing anything today?" The boy asked. He hugged Young's leg. He looked at me, expectantly."You'll play with us today right?"

I smiled at him.

"I told you to go!" Young said, more fiercely this time. He pushed Jaden away harshly, causing him to fall to the ground. All this, while staring into my soul. I felt like he was mad at me, but he was taking it out on the poor child. But then again, why would he be mad at me?

Jaden stared at his father for a while, lips trembling.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing? He's a child!" Vicky said, saying what's on my mind. We rushed to help Jaden.

"Don't teach me what I do with him!" Young roared, as he stood in front of Vicky and I, blocking us from Jaden.

"Move!" I told him, harshly, as I pushed him. He didn't move an inch.

"Jaden, go to your room." Young commanded. By now, the three year old was in tears. He ran to the resort.

"You better get going, blondie."

"Where..where do-" Vicky started.

"Go to the candy story and sleep there. There's no where else you can sleep." Young said.

"Listen, don't boss -" I started, but Vicky had already sprinted off. Vicky usually never got intimidated by anyone. So if this guy intimidated him, he has to be Kronos or something.

Young came closer to me.

"Why did you just make everybody run away?" I asked him, as I stepped backwards.

"You came back." He told me, as he kept both of his hands on my shoulders and vigorously shook me. His eye color switched to a very light grey for a while. I freaked out.

"What?" I asked him softly.

"You betrayed me, and you walk in like this. I know this is you. And this time, I'll kill you." He said, as he walked away from me.

What just happened?
