FAMILY SECRETS

Evelyn
So I am going to Cross Academy, huh. I guess it can't be helped. My only question is why would papa say that I can go to this different school. Especially one which is trying to do something incredibly stupid by integrating vampires into a human school.

Sigh. As much as I love father, at times I find his ideas completely stupid. I walked calmly in the busy hallway. Students were getting their books ready for the next period which was five minutes away from now.

Some boys gave me flirty looks yet I ignored them due to what I was thinking.

I wonder what my mothers would have said about this. Christa, Cordelia and Beatrix would have been so against it. Especially Cordelia and Beatrix.

'My sweet rose, you are truly a special girl. Take care of my Subaru'

'You and my sons look so cute together, promise me that you'll look after them'

'My little butterfly, if I were to die take care of them. Especially Reiji'

'We love you'

Even though they're dead, they'll always be in my heart. "Hey Evelyn!" shouted a voice which I knew all too well.

I turned around to see my friend Adrien Ro'maeve standing there. His headphones which were normally on his head were missing.

"Hey Adrien," I said. He caught up up to me and shortened his stride to match mine. "How are things lately with your state?" he asked in a careless manner but I can tell underneath that he was truly worried for me.

"We both know that it won't get better," I said in my usual monotonous tone. Adrien's smile crumbled for a moment but it was back up before anyone, but myself, could see.

He scratched the back of his neck while laughing nervously. "Haha, I guess that I walked into that one." I sighed and shook my head.

Before he could say anything I took his hand in mine and marched to an empty classroom. Once finding an empty classroom I pushed Adrian into the class and quickly followed.

He seemed surprised by my behavior and gave me a questioning look yet I shrugged it off.

"I know that you love me like a sister and truly wish to see me express my feelings openly but Adrien, you must realize that what you want may never happen. My earliest years were hell. At a young age, I learnt that not everyone is trustworthy.

I guess you'll have to be content with my ways because as much as I hate to admit it. I have trust issues. My soul and body have unfortunately taken to blocking others out so that I don't get hurt again."

When I finished I looked directly at Adrian's face and felt a tiny pang in my heart. He looked crestfallen. To make matters worse, I caused this.
(A/N: No shit sherlock)

So I did the only thing that came into my mind at the moment.
