The Twisted Ones [HIATUS]

Chapter Nineteen

His apology

Ace

I fluttered my eyes open, my head hurt and I swore I didn't move when I collapsed. Who carried me then?
I groaned, then a shift was made and Melody was sitting on a chair just next to the bed I was in.

She lifted her hand, Signed to me with sad eyes. 'You hit your head pretty bad, and Ace? Why didn't you tell me?' She seemed offended and I grew silent, guilty about what I put her through so I raised my hand to sign back. 'Even if I did, you wouldn't hear me. Why make a sound when the person I want to hear my voice doesn't hear me?' I knew I was stating facts that I care about her, heck I even like her. She moved closer with her chair scrapping on the floor. She then signed again; 'Yes, I wouldn't hear you. But I can adjust, get some hearing aids just to hear you. I just really can't hear that much but with some hearing aids I ca--' I cut her off by hugging her tightly, she hugged me back.

"You can tell me anything." She spoke, her voice out of tone but it sounded much more angelic than mine. She hugged me more tightly now, and then I heard her sob. I rubbed circles on her back, she sobbed more and gripped my being tighter.
"I.. I j-just ca-can't bare s-seeing you like this... b-because I c-care." She stuttered, before she let go I felt her wipe her eyes. She looked at me with those red and puffy eyes, she looked sad and I hated seeing someone sad.
I touched her cheek with my right hand, and smiled. "I really want to hear your voice, let me." She spoke and I nodded. She then brought out a cream colored object from her pocket, then she smiled placing it inside her ear then she spoke. "Speak to me."

I quivered, nervous. ".. I.. I love you Melody." I spoke in the most shy voice I had, looked down in embarrassment. "Oh." Was all I heard from Melody and I just wanted to die right there and then, I didn't take rejections easily. "In that case, I love you too." I looked up in shock, did I just hear that right?
She was smiling at me, those pretty eyes, that amazing smile and I can't help but fall for her more. I then grabbed her and gave her a big hug, I tried not to Sob but it was too overwhelming. "B-But why? I'm a m-monster!" I yelled out crying, and she rubbed my back. "I know, they told me. But you aren't what you are before. I can see, you changed. You'll change if you really try. I'll be here." What she said touched me. I sobbed more, silently wishing that things were different and that I wasn't the evil person I was before.

I passed the door where Ace was being held, Melody was in there and I just wish She didn't force herself to go inside that room. Melody didn't have to know, but she did. Melody kept those feelings inside, she told me Ace was a new person, she told me she was nice and that Ace changed when we argued about her wanting to tell Ace how she felt, and I felt bitter just thinking about it. It's not because I have feelings for Melody, I just care about her because she is like a little sister to me now. I just wish things were different. Really different.

I peaked a glance at the room and inside was Melody and Ace hugging, I gripped my hand forcefully into a fist. I know I should support her, but she's in love with the wrong person. why can't it be someone else? Someone who won't hurt her? I passed the room quickly, power walking down the stairs until I bumped into Taiyo and Axel talking. I looked at them one by one before they each looked away. I clicked my tongue as I passed them.

I know they are all on her side, who wouldn't?  She manipulated them to like her despite everything she did. She's an asshole.. I grunted as I reached the living room, Vivian and the others hadn't come home yet. Wilson was inside his room, blocking everyone out. I sighed when I saw Amber sitting down and watching television, so I sat next to her with a few feet gap between us.
