Ella's POVHumiliation. That's the only word that's in my mind right now. I've never been so humiliated in my life. Of course, Nine's dating Danielle. She's strong, beautiful... and not 7 years younger than him. I know I shouldn't be so upset. Heck, I'm the girl who was willing to die to stop Setrakus Ra. But I am upset. I just had to get away from him, I couldn't even be in the room with him... and her.
I'm hiding in my closet in my old bedroom, hoping Nine didn't follow me.
He did.
" Ella, Ella," he calls.
I suck in my breath so he won't hear me breathing. I forgot he has enhanced hearing.
" I know you're in the closet, Ella," Nine calls.
Shit.
I slowly open the closet doors and climb out timidly, avoiding his gaze.
" What do you want, Nine," I ask spitefully.
There's no point in being nice to him. He's with Danielle and I'm alone.
" I just wanted to apologize for what happened in there," he says.
" Why would you have to apologize, you didn't do anything," I say, not bothering to hide the bitterness in my voice.
" I didn't know you felt that way about me," he says sheepishly, " and believe me Ella, I do love you... just as a sister. You are one of the bravest people I have ever met, and forever, you have my unwavering respect.
I can't help the smile that crawls across my face.
I use my Aeturnus to go back to my normal age, the age that everyone loves me at.
" Are we good?" Nine asks.
" Yeah, we're good," I answer.
He bends down, and I climb onto his shoulders, the same way I did so long ago.
