My Whole Life Is A Lie

September 23, 2013

Mr. Banner stayed the night, because Steve, nor my father came back. I started in my room starting at my hand.

"What was that? It had to be a dream. it's not poss-" I noticed the book still open.

I crawled once to it. seeming words. I flipped through it. All the pages had words. Some even with pictures. I felt a small smile make its way.

"Maybe it is? " I look back at my hands.

Mr. Banner entered my room.

"Holo if you want we could eat breakfast at a cafe. im not one to cook. " He rubbed the back of his neck.

I giggled.

"Sure... yeah, let's do that."

He left. I jumped out my bed and made my way to my closet. I chose a short green dress with a black leather torso. I loved the way the dress looked like a tutu. I slipped on some black flats. Then I walked in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth. When I Finnished I Started fixing my hair. As I was brushing it I noticed that the small strip wasn't small anymore. Now my hair was 19% green

"How did this happen? Could it have to do with yesterday?" I didn't think about it long before Banner knocked on the door.

"Holo, are you almost ready?"

"Yeah, be out in a sec !"

I braided the green stripe and tucked it behind my ear. As I exited the room I saw that Banner left the room. I packed my bag and walked out. I walked in the living room. I looked out through the many windows of the tower. Banner called for me. I quickly run to the elevator before it closed on me. Banner pressed the bottom floor.

Outside had a cold breeze. But that didn't prevail me to go back inside. I walked the streets close to Mr.Banner. When we got to the cafe. It was some what quiet. Right when we stepped through the door everyone had eyes on us.

"Umm... Mr.Banner, why are they staring at us?"

"It's nothing, just ignore them."

I looked at the cashier. Her facial expression was off. She looked like she would explode from excitement or something.

"I'll have a black coffee with a banana muffin. And and the lady will have..."

I suggested he wanted me to speak. It took me no time to see something appetizing on the menu.

"C-can I get... C-cinnamon toast, and hot chocolate." I spoke shyly.

"Of course, will that be all?" The cashier started typing up the order.

"No that's all." Banner started talking out his wallet.

"That will be $8.97, sir." He handed the money to her. she counted it then opened the register.

we sat at an open table. some what close to a window. We sat in silence.

"So Holo, how is school going?"

"It's going well. I had a concert a few days back." I smiled.

"Did your father enjoy it?"

I felt a slight pain in my eyes. I remembered how sad I was when he didn't come. The tears I thought were gone started coming back.

"No... He didn't. He was busy at work." I tried to fake a smile.

"Did Steve go?" He casually took a sip from his cup.

"No, he didn't come either." I picked at the half empty plate.

"Isn't that a shame." He shook his head side to side.

"It's not his fault." I tried to pretend everything was okay.

"Holo, how are you and Steve handling out?" I stop playing with the French toast. I just looked at my plate. banner always ask questions he knew the answer to. just trying to get to me. the game we played since I could talk.

"We're getting along just fine." I smile at him. He just stared as if reading me to find why I would lie.

"Holo, are you almost finished!"

"Yeah, I'm done." The waitress came and picked up our plates.

I grabbed my cup and walk side by side with Banner. That's when I didn't feel the weight of my purse on my hip. I left it. I turned around and raced back to the cafe. Seeing it untouched, hanging on the back of the chair. I grabbed it and walked back outside. I walked down the side walk heading towards the tower. as I walked I noticed people behind me stopping. Then people in front stopped as well. All of them looking up at the sky. I looked around looking for what started this commotion. Soon people stop looking at this shy continues walking. As did I when looking became unrewarding. I still had some ways to go. Out of nowhere I was told by my arm.

"Fair maiden, please tell me where the man of iron lives?"

"What! I don't know who that is! let go!" I pulled on my arm struggling to get out of his grip.

"Aghhhh! What is this! Your skin burn as if fire! " Right when he left go I ran as fast as my legs could go.

"Banner! Banner!" I yelled for him.

I'm not far from the tower. I can see the large sign that reads "Stark"

"Holo!"

I found Mr. Banner standing at a street light. I run up to him. Hugging him tightly.

"Come, your father waiting for you."

This time I grabbed his hand. As we made it in to the tower I ran to my room. He headed to my father's office.

I sat on my bed. Rubbing the arm the man touched.

"Lady Holo, didn't Mr.Banner informed you your father wish to speak to you." Mina appeared on my TV.

I left without a fight. as I was heading you through I heard on familiar voice.

"Loki has escaped Asgard prison. And Heimdall has been looking all over the 9 realms.

my body lurched for when I heard Heimdall's name being said. I was now in the room and all eyes are on me.

"She the maiden I met on the street, the one with the burning skin." The man in silly clothing and long blonde hair said.

"Holo? " Steve looked confused.

"You let her go outside!" My father stood up from his chair and slammed his hand on the desk.

"I was with her. Nothing was going to happen." Banner got up from the glass panel he was leaning on.

"There is a whole lot! Like her meeting Thor!"

"It's not my fault she got lost!" Banner had an angry look on his face.

"You lost her! How could you lose her!? You had nothing else to do but keep her under your watch! "

"Umm... Tony. " Steve coughed signal Tony to look at Banner.

I felt warm tears fell. I ran to my room. I sat on my bed with my face buried in a big stuffed bunny. My father soon walked in.

"I'm sorry Holo. " He put his arm around my shoulder.

"Your treating me like your pet."

"No that's not it. "

"You can't keep me here forever. "

"I'm trying to help you."

"Hello me by what? By not letting me have friends, by not letting me walk outside, by not letting me be able to see my mother!" I stood up and stared at my father waiting for an answer.

"Holo you don't know the truth about the real world. "

"Is it really my fault? I never left the tower until you couldn't have me home schooled. Even then I never got to go see beyond this place!"
