Loving Lies

Chapter 14

*Normal pov*

I sigh and sit down on the soft grass under a tree. I look at my side to see the old swing Kristen and I used to swing on back in our youth.

"A 10 minutes walk for a lake and an old swing?" Loki asks as he sits down next to me.

"I see it as my childhood and memories," I tell him. He doesn't respond and I bring me knees up, resting my tired head upon it.

"Do you ever get so exhausted of everything you just want to cry?" I ask. I could feel a tear slide down my cheek. I wipe it away and blink any further tears away.

"No," Loki says smoothly.

"Hmm I forgot. You're a prince; everything must come in a gold platter for you," I say and look at him.

"Sometimes it's silver," Loki says with a joking tone.

"Wow you just cracked your first joke," I say with a small laugh.

"There's a first for everything," he says.

"Hmm I guess, what's Asgard like?" I ask.

"It's almost all made of gold, very bright and beautiful as well," Loki says.

"Must hide some pretty deep secrets then," I comment.

"Pardon?" He asks.

"The most beautiful things in life hide the most secrets. Even society, to hide their flaws we make it look like it was never there. For example, women use makeup to hide their blemishes. If you see a female in beautiful clothing and dazzling makeup you would think how perfect her life is, you wouldn't even think that she has any problems," I explain lightly.

"Hmm Asgard has its secrets as well I suppose," Loki says.

"Everyone has their secrets Loki," I tell him. He doesn't respond and I open my bag; taking out a lip balm and a bottle of water.

"Put some lip balm on and drink water. If you don't your lip will bleed again," I tell him and hand him the two things. As he puts the balm on I yawn and lean back comfortably looking out to the still lake in front of me.

*mini Timeskip*

"Ah so you finally awaken," Loki says as my eyes open a bit.

"No," I reply and shut them again. I was too comfortable to be awake.

"If you'd let me readjust myself at least," He says. What does he mean readjust? Oh wait...shit.

"Sorry," I quickly say and jump up. Loki sighs and gets up, moving his shoulder in circles. The sudden movement makes me dizzy and I quickly try to put my hand on the tree to stable myself.

"Careful now," Loki says, placing his hands on my waist to help.

"I'm fine," I say and stand up straighter. He nods and takes his hands off. I wouldn't have minded if they stayed. I was about to apologize once more when a loud thud comes from behind me. I jump front and crash into Loki, who braces me.

"Found them," I hear Tony say. I turn to see him in his Iron Man suit.

"Jeez was the suit necessary?" I ask as I move off Loki and walk to him.

"It is when you're gone for 4 hours with the guy who destroyed half of New York," Tony says.

"I fell asleep," I confess.

"And the remote?" Tony asks. I widen my eyes and check my pocket...it wasn't there.

"It's not here," I tell Tony. He raises his hands and points them at Loki.

"It's in your bag. I figured you'd be uncomfortable while you slept with it on you," Loki tells me. I quickly open my bag and see it in there. Oh thank god!

"It's here," I say and take it out.

"See why we didn't want Loki in these cuffs?" Tony asks.

"He couldn't even do anything if he had the remote," I say and roll my eyes.

"Whatever kid, make sure he gets home or there won't be a home," Tony says and flies off.

"That was such a bombass exit," I say. Loki scoffs and starts walking. I look at Tony fly for a bit more and then quietly follow him.

*Timeskip*

"I still can't believe they said I have to lock you up. It's my fault I fell asleep," I grumble as I lock Loki's handcuffs.

"It is your fault," Loki says.

"Thanks for making me feel better," I mumble and put the small remote in the small room, giving Hades and Apollo some hay.

"Goodbye (y/n)," Loki says as he sits down.

"Bye Loki," I say back and walk out. About halfway to the house I hear my name being called from a distance. I turn to see who it was.

"Nico?" I say at the limping figure. When he gets closer I see the red liquid that had covered his side. I widen my eyes and run to him.

"Nico what's wrong?!" I ask as I grab his shoulders. His side was all red and his face looked like it had been beaten up.

"Shit Nico you've been stabbed!" I cry and look at him holding his side.

"J-Justin," he coughs.

"What did he do?" I ask, tears beginning to flow out my eyes.

"He's coming, ru-" he begins. I hear a bang and see his body go limp and fall. I scream and get on my knees. Trying to shake him awake.

"Wake up Nico, you can't leave me!" I cry and shake him.

"Told him to stay away," I hear a voice say. I look up to see Justin with a psychotic grin.

"W-why did y-you shoot him?!" I yell.

"I can't have anyone between us love," Justin says as he walks closer to me. I feel as if someone was calling my name but I can't hear anything. Everything was muffled and I felt one emotion: anger.
