Chapter 8
This whole chapter will be in Seth's POV.
"Get me Hackers best man, alive"
Best man? Did she know? That's her brother! Even worse he was dead. horrific display on New York pavements. I didn't know how to tell her. If I could even tell her...
"Earth to Seth?" she asked. Suddenly I snapped out of my trance.
"Yeah?" i drearily muffled.
"Did you hear what I said?" She questioned
"Uh yeah"
"Are you gonna answer?" she cooed
"Um maybe..." she stopped and looked into my eyes.
"Seth what's wrong?" she asked urgently, a hint of panic in her eyes
"I'm not sure if u want to know.." I said my eyes locking with hers
"What why? please?" she pleaded
"Ok" i sighed. "but not here" I gestured to her to follow me. I lead her to my room. Her eyes widened as we arrived...
"What...what are we doing here?" she asked panicking. her eyes darted around the room. she looked terrified. she was going to be once I told her the news....
"Seth?" she murmured... Quietly she backed into the corner hugging her arms as she went. I felt sorry for her. Fighting everything must really boost your insecurity levels high. Slowly I made my way toward my bed and patted the space next to me. She shook her head. Bless.
"So you really want to know huh?"
"Yes..." she whispered afraid of what to come.
"Uh..." I paused weary of her response "it's Ben, your....your brother...." I closed my eyes waiting for a response. slowly I opened the to see her crouched on the floor rocking back and forth sobbing. Quickly, I took her in my arms as she soaked my shirt in tears. I didn't care.
"No...no...i raised him good...he's not is he? Please tell me this is a joke...please I don't want to fight my brother" she bawled sobbing again in my arms.
"Shh" I whispered rocking her in my arms "Shh you won't have to fight him"
"S...seth?" she cried
"Yes?" I asked
"Why won't I need to fight him?" she replied.
"Because... he's dead" I said with a blank expression.
"Noooo!!" She shrieked pounding her fists into my chest. I didn't nothing. Let her take out her anger on me rather than someone she cares about. I loved her. Would do anything for her. So I let her do it. Unnervingly I restrained her hands to her sides as she thrashed in my arms for a while until she broke down in silent sobs.
"Who.killed.him?" she cried still sobbing.
"I don't think you wanna know that, Lucy" I whispered. Her puffy red eyes locked with mine as she pleaded for an answer.
"James...." I breathed. Her body stayed still. motionless. blank. silent fury.
"I'm so sorry" I whispered. she clung to my shirt as if it was life support. And continued to sob into my chest until I heard heavy breathing and her little heart beat. she fell asleep in my arms...
Awww...
Bridal style I carried her to my bed and lay her down. pulling the blanket up to her small waist. My eyes followed her petite body; I trailed my hand over her long muscular arms tightening around the bed sheets. Her face absolute perfection. Those high cheekbones covered by peachy flawless skin. Eyes a deep hazel but now covered by her lid and long dark black eyelashes. Long fair hair spread out across the pillow like a halo. She was perfect. And I was going to make her realise that James was the worst thing that ever happened to her.
Quietly, I climbed into the opposite side of my bed taking her again in my arms; resting her head on my chest. She nuzzled against my body into my side; almost seeming awake but just for utter comfort. This girl had been through too much and now she needs me more than ever. Hacker wants her and at first I was willing to do so. But now seeing her affection, kindness, despair for others, has she rubbed off on me in a matter of a day. I was not going to let anyone get in the way of me and her as love is worth fighting for...
