Orphans

Chapter 5

        I stood up quickly, ready to attack him if he decided to grab me, but he didn't grab me or attack me. He just stood there, smiling like an idiot. 

" What do you want?" I asked him. He shook his head.

" Nothing, just wondering what my soon to be daughter is doing." I felt like throwing up. I wasn't gonna be this murderer's daughter.

" I'm not gonna be your daughter," I growled. He raised his eyebrow.

" Why not?" 
" Because, you killed my family and I won't forgive you for something like that." His look changed, but he wasn't angry at me. He didn't yell.  He shook his head.

" I don't know what you're talking about." I then raised my sleeve on my right arm, showing him my scar that he had given me. 

" You did this to me! When I was running from you! You cut my arm so deep that it left a scar!" I yelled. He still didn't show any emotion. 

" Look... I don't remember what I have done and I don't know you," he said flat out. 

" Leave me the hell alone!" I shouted. I started to run through the rain. I heard him call out my name, but there was no way in hell that I was gonna hang around with him and let him kidnap me. I ran back to my cabin and quickly closed the door. Mary was sitting in her bed and looked at me when I entered. 

" Liliana, what happened? You're soaking wet!" She got out of bed and rushed over to me. 

" I'm okay. Don't worry about me okay. How is Bond?" I regretted yelling at him about his family when it was his business only. Mary looked at me before she answered.

" After you left.... Bond started to cry. He's really upset. Liliana, go and cheer him up." 
" I'm the one that got him to cry!" I shouted. Mary shook her head.

" It doesn't matter. Bond is understanding, talk to him." I shook my head. I couldn't. I wouldn't. I don't like talking to people whom I made upset or disappointed in me.  Mary grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She then glared at me.

" Mary.... I can't." 
" You can and you will. I'll go with you, okay?"  I sighed.
" Okay, let's go." We headed out in the rain and ran to Aaron and Bond's cabin. Mary knocked on the door and seconds later, Aaron opened the door. He was wearing a towel around his waist and his hair was wet. 

" Put on some clothing before you open the door," Mary said. 

" Sorry, I was the closest to the door." He then looked at me and frowned. 

" Why the hell is Liliana here? Bond doesn't want to see her," he growled. Mary then put her hand on his shoulder. There was some water still on his skin. 

" Please Aaron. Let Liliana see him." Aaron sighed and opened the door wider, allowing us to enter. Bond was sitting on his bed reading a book that Rebecca had lent him. He looked up from his book. He smiled at Mary and glared at me. He then stood up and crosssed his arms.

" What the hell do you want?" He growled. 

" Bond, stop it. Liliana wants to say sorry about what she said before. She's understands that it was out of question and she wants to say sorry," Mary explained. Bond laughed darkly.

" Right, since when does Liliana say sorry without anyone doing it for her?" Mary sighed. She then grabbed Aaron's hand and they went to the bathroom. 

" Hey! Wait a mintue! I still need to get dressed!" Aaron shouted. 

" We'll leave you two alone okay.''

" Why am I going with you?!" 
" Shut up and come on!" Mary pulled him into the bathroom and closed the door. Bond and I looked at the bathroom for a second, he then looked at me. 

" Liliana, are you really here to say sorry?" I nodded.

" Did Mary have to force you to come here?" I then averted my gaze to the floor. Bond scoffed. 

" I knew it. You can never do anything by yourself!" 

" What do you mean by that?! I can do stuff by myself!" I shouted. 

" Liliana, you had your family until you were about seven years old! I came here when I was five years old!" 

" Why is that my problem?!" Bond then ignored me and then picked up his book again. I then got pissed and grabbed the book from his hand. 

" Give it back."
" Not until you listen to me!" 
" What is there to listen about! Liliana, you don't understand!" He then grabbed a lock of his hair. He was getting frustrated. I put my hand on his shoulder. He was shaking.

" Bond are you alright?!" He started breathing heavily, he then suddenly started to cough. He fell to the floor coughing while holding his throat. It looked quite painful. 

" Bond!" I quickly went to his nightstand and pulled out his inhaler.  I then handed it to Bond. He grabbed it and inhaled it. He started to breathe normal again. I sighed of relief. 

" Are you okay Bond?" He shakily nodded. He was in shock for now, but he would get better later on. This was the first time I had to help him with his asthma attack. 

" Thank you.... Liliana." 
" I'm sorry. This would have happened if I didn't yell at you." He shook his head. 

" It was my fault mostly. Boys aren't suppose to yell at girls, including the ones that they care about." I hugged his back, calming him down. Bond never deserved to have such a painful life. I never knew much about it, but Hope had told me that Bond had been abandoned by his parents, thinking that he was a mistake. They then left him on the road when he was just born. There wasn't anyone to feed him nor care for him. I, on the other hand, had my parents until I was seven years of age. I was taught everything, while he was taught nothing.  I then started to tear up. I then wrapped my arm around his neck lightly, not making him flinch.

" I'm sorry," I whispered. " I'm sorry." He grabbed my arm lightly. 

" It's okay. It's not your fault." I then heard the bathroom door open. I looked to see Mary and Aaron poking their heads out of the bathroom. Mary then smiled. 

" So, you two made up?" Bond and I both nodded.  Aaron put up a thumbs up.

" Good! Hey, after  dinner do guys want to get some ice cream?"

" Definately!" 

" Yeah! Ice Cream! Ice Cream!" Mary chanted. See what I mean? These are the kinds of fun days that I don't want to end. We may go through hell with each other, but we get through it together. Though, if only I knew what had been coming.
