"Zenon?"
I look up to the silhouette, the person was tall, slightly muscular, he had wolf ears, light brown to dirty blonde hair, acorn colored eyes, shirtless, his shirt on his shoulder as his hands rested on each part of the doorway. Its Braydon. I quickly wiped away my tears as he made his way over to me, kneeling down in front of me.
"Are you skipping class? What happened?" He asked, his ears down. I couldn't help but scoot back a little, clenching the shirt Hayden had given me to my chest, my other hand on the tiled floor, curled up in a fist. My newly sore back against the cold tile causing me to wince a bit. He looked at me concerned, "Zenon where you crying?"
What would happen if I showed my weakness around him? Would he just laugh at me?! What am I thinking?! of course he will! I'm so stupid to think he wont! I Look PATHETIC RIGHT NOW!!
Unknowingly, tears rolled down my cheeks. My heat hurt so much,I clenched my eyes shut. I could hardly think of a response before he had placed his hand on my cheek, caressing the tears away gently. I looked up at him now, unclenching my eyes, my body still trembling from the impact I received just a few minutes go.
"Did something happen Zee? Your trembling." He saw right through me. I opened my mouth, nothing but a cry escaping my lips. I quickly closed my mouth and Shook my head.
"N-N-Nothing- j-just- n-not up to g-gym today" I faked a smile to witch Braydon sighed, his free hand on the tiles near mine.
"Is Tristan in class?" He asked, changing the subject entirely, just the mention of his name sending chills down my spine. I nod, softly, he smiles at me kindly, "Good, now I can actually talk to you in private for once.."
what does he mean by he can talk to me in private for once!?
His hand clenched onto mine.
"that probably sounds weird right? But to be honest, I can't really tell you anything that'd be the truth in front of Tristan.. He'd murder me. He'd hit me, or you, I really wanna tell you what I feel about you, But I can't with him around!" He growled, "I hate that I cant ever tell you how I really feel Zee"
"w-what do you mean?" I asked, my voice a little shaky, he went quiet, looking at me.
"If I told you how I really didn't want to be your friend, and would rather hold you in my arms and never let go. How much I wanted to protect you. Kiss you. Hug You, Hold you. .. he'd hurt you.. Badly.." He told me, My hand tensing up a little bit at that, I pulled away, leaving him confused. "Zenon?"
"Your too late.." I said with a sigh, "Your way too late"
He just looked at me, wide, now yellow eyes.
"what did he do?!" Braydon asked me urgently, Inching closer to me in witch I shrunk back only to yelp in pain, in witch he pauses. "let me see your back."
I hesitate for a moment, then turn around to let him see.
