Fate And Faith( On Hold) DON'T READ

9. Hurt

Pain, but I won't let it turn into Hate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A quiet numbness fills my senses as I try to register what I had just heard unintentionally.

I believed that Adonis was a mean person on the outside, but had a speck of goodness and kindness within him because it is my belief that no person is wholly bad. Like wise for him, I just had to find the good in him.

Or so I thought.

Turns out that my previously mentioned theory was fantastically incorrect. His finale statement proved it wrong.

Scarlett: No you listen babe, you have to get rid of her. She is nothing but trouble!

Adonis: I can't! I JUST can't! She is not trouble at all! Why are you so worked up? I love you. You are my girlfriend and I really do love you.

Scarlett: Wake up Adonis Fuller! See past her good heart! Her heart is not good at all! She is a sly whore! Get rid of her! Let me live with you. That will be a good enough reason to drive her out.

Adonis: Steve and my father would DISOWN me if I ever turned a guest down! Besides, I am not even treating her as a guest! She is my maid for heaven's sake!

Scarlett: Tell me! TELL ME! Tell me ....t-that you really love me! That she means absolutely nothing to you!

Adonis: Scarlett Martinez, I love you honestly and sincerely. Our families are friends, we were friends before and you are all I can ever ask for.

Scarlett: And Cassandra?

Adonis: She is nothing. She is a worthless piece of shit who has looks and brains of an insect.......and I, we, our community, don't mix with insects.

I don't go inside. I want to run far far away from this place.....but my legs, my whole body seems static. My minds urges me to flee but my senses are adamant. They say otherwise. I hear the tapping of feet getting closer and closer every second. She is leaving I suppose. She is just at the door and I'm slouched down outside.

Move damn feet! Move! Get up! Hide! Do something!

Wait, she is speaking again, but my senses are too numb to register what she says. I just concentrate on my escape.

RUNNNNN

I scramble up on my feet and stumble backwards, my knees wobbly. I see the door knob twisting and without thinking twice, I turn around and run. I run away from the house. I run towards the mass of trees....more like a mini forest behind the house. It is a very big island, hence dense vegetation is prevalent. Once I am safely hidden amidst the trees, I try to process everything I had just heard, but only one sentence keeps bugging me.

Adonis really hates me.

It would be better for both of us if I return back home. He will live peacefully with Scarlett, and I will go back to my normal routine.

It's just that, there won't be any more opportunities like this for me to travel to such exotic places and I really do want to make the most of this trip. Therefore, I won't let anyone, nit even Adonis and Scarlett ruin this for me. I will ignore him like I planned before.
