Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

Revealing The Secret

One day, I am at Michael's apartments. It's the fifth anniversary of the day Rose and I started dating.

"So what are you going to do for your anniversary James?"

"I am going to reveal my secret to her."

"Wait what?"

"Relationship is about trust and I want to trust her about this."

"Are you sure it's a good idea?"

"What's wrong with telling her? I have known her for a good amount of time and I said that I would tell her. Why not now?"

"I don't know. I just have this feeling that you shouldn't tell her."

"Well you know what I think? I think you're just being jealous of everything I have."

"What? No I am not being-"

"I have superpowers and I have a girlfriend. What do you have? Nothing and no one. So of course you would be jealous."

Michael stares at me in disbelief.

"GET OUT OF MY HOME AND OUT OF MY LIFE!!!"

I walk out in anger.

"And you want to know something?" Michael asks.

"What?"

"I thought I did have someone. I guess I was wrong!" He says, slamming the door.

I drive to the floral place to pick up the flowers for Rose. I pick her up. She is wearing a red dress with sparkles on it.

"You look gorgeous."

"Thank you. You look dashing."

I take her to the restaurant. It's this fancy restaurant called Mosietti. While we are eating, I look at her, nervously.

"So Rose, enjoying the meal?"

"Yes. I love Italian food."

We eat our meals without talking. After I paid the check, we head out. We head to the park and walk around. We get some ice cream while there.

"That was fun," I say.

"Yes it was," Rose says.

On our way to my car, I stop her.

"So there is something that I have been wanting to tell you."

"You have superpowers?"

"Wait how-?"

"I am not stupid James. I can put two and two together. You're sudden disappearance whenever something bad happens."

"There is more to it than that though but before I tell, well more like show, we have to go somewhere private."

She looks confused.

"Okay."

I pick her up and fly to an alleyway.

"Are you ready to see?"

"Sure."

I close my eyes and turn into my alien form. When I open my eyes. I see her jaw dropping and tears coming from her eyes.

"Rose? Are you-"

"What are you?"

"Rose it's still me. I am just-"

As I get closer to her, she back away.

"Get away from me, you freak!"

She runs away.

"Rose wait!"

I try to run after her but my heart told me it was pointless. It starts raining. I walk home in the rain.
