I waas taken aback with his words.H-He killed someone?I could see the tears forming in his eyes.I got him by hand and slowly led him to the bed.I sat down and he placed his head on my lap.I stroked his hair as he shed tears before my own eyes."It was the night I blew up.A couple hours before that I was in my father's office."

-That Night-

"You asked for me dad?"He nodded."Follow me."He lead me to the basement.I heard a woman crying and screaming.When I got there there was a woman around her early 40s.Tied down to a chair.Strugling to get out.She was covered in bruises and blood.I was horrified."Kill her.You clearly don't have it in you when it come to that girl.Maybe you won't be a total disappointment if you manage to do this simple task."He wanted me to kill her.Use me as his weapon."What did she do that you want her dead dad?"He looked at me with flames covering him."Are you questioning me?"I sighed."I'm not questioning you.I just want to know what she did."He turned back to the woman.

"She betrayed me.That should be enough."I backed away.He was acting like a fricking lunatic!"I'm not gonna kill her dad.I-I'm not a murderer.I'm not going to hurt her.I think your guys did her enough damage as it is."But as I backed away he put this emotional pressure on me.Telling me I am a disgrace and a disappointment to this family.Telling me that I have to prove myself to him.And I just snapped.I killed her.Then I faught with my father about him forcing this on me.I burned down the house and went away to blow up.

-Back To Present Time-

"So I killed her.I killed someone."I leaned down to my lap to kiss him."You're not a disappointment.You are not a disgrace.My fahter on the other hand..."We both chuckled."This was supposed to be for me to forgive you but I am confused.Should I forgive you after you keep something this important from me?"He nodded."I'm kidding.I love you.I don't care if you killed someone.I care how it affects you."He took the hand I had on his cheek and hugged it.He hugged my hand and fell asleep.He's so adorable and he has such a good heart.His family is a fool if they think they deserved better than him because they couldn't have have a son more perfect than him.If Remi was alive I would've wanted him to be like Ralph.Minus the jerk act and bullying.

We eventually both fell asleep.Following morning I texted Dexter and sent him my location.Not even twn minutes after he was at the door with his pyjamas 7 am in the morning."Did you run here?"He nodded."You do have a car.Remember?"I looked like a wreck myself.Wrinkled pyjamas.Messed up messy bun.I've been crying because of what happened to Ralph.I can't help it.I can't see him upset.It hurts.We both needed a hug.So we hugged."You want to go to the gym then we can head to the range."I nodded."We haven't done that in ages."He chuckled."Last time we did this was the summer before you went to Italy.So around one and a half years."

"That's long for me if it isn't for you."We were talking when Ralph came down looking worse than me."I-I'll see you later Dex."He left and I got to Ralph.The minute I touched his arm for support he fell on the ground on his knees and started crying on my chest.I kissed the top of his head.Catching his scent at the same time."I killed her Rose!"I sighed and talked calmly."I know.I know you did.""Aren't you a bit scared?!Why isn't it making you go away?!Forget the whole legend stuff."I sighed as I got his face between my hands to make him look me in the eye."I love you.And I was im the exact spot that you are not so long ago remember?I don't want to leave.I want you."We hugged then got up."I have an idea.Me and Dex are going to head to the gym.It might be a good way to release all that built up rage against your father."

We both had breakfast and then went to our rooms to change.I found a gym outfit I didn't know I had.

I got a hoodie and went down.I was just in time.Dex was at the door."I didn't know your fiancé was coming."I turned to Ralph then back at Dex."We're not-You're-We're not engaged."He sighed."One can hope.Let's go."Boys sat at the front and I was thrown to the backseat.Geez.Anyways.We came to the gym and our instructor was there."Dash.""Rosalind Monroe."We shook hands then he shook hands with Dexter and Ralph."It's been almost two years you maniac."I nodded."Test me?"I dropped my bag and took my hoodie off."Let's give it a go."And within seconds I had him on the floor.Face glued to the ground.Almost breaking his arm."Good."I let him go and stood up."Let's see you Mr.Bay."I got Dexter's bag and his jacket.

Dexter lost unlike me."I didn't know you knew how to fight."I sighed."After Remi my therapist said that I shoulder it out by doing a sport.I chose this and he backed me up on it.He felt guilty that he didn't save Remi along with me.He was a kid too.And he just thought about his best friend."Then Dexter walked up to us."I hate Dash."I chuckled."You always hated him.""He goes easy on you!Not on me!"I rolled my eyes.We started to work out.We busted the music to our ears.We had lunch afterwards at the gym's cafeteria.

"You guys were both good today.You too..."He still didn't introduced himself."So you two are together?"Ralph nodded."So how is Sheryl?"He chuckled and took a picture out of his wallet."There she is.You know...you and your wife has done good with her.She's going to break hearts."He snatched the picture."No dating until she is 50!"I chuckled."Geez.Relax papa Dash.She's lucky to have you.Besides...I'll see you when she grows up."He rolled his eyes."I suddenly lost my appetite."He got up and left."Why don't you like Dash?""I don't like anyone.You know that."I sighed."I do know that."We were done with our lunches and we headed out to the car."Where are we going now?"

"Gun range."
