Flames of Trust (Sequel to Counts Daughter/Avengers fan fic)

~~~~~Since Then~~~~~

Alena

Since then I've faked becoming better. I've faked smiles and forced laughs. I tried to heal I really did. I took therapy, I talked it out, and I cried. But truth is you never get over things like being lied to most your life, being a lab rat, becoming a freak, and oh to top it all off attempted rape. Point is you can't forget, and you can never truly get over it. You just have to get past it. Learning to trust is the hardest part though. Al-he was actually my friend before the incident. You see true is a fragile thing you either have it or you don't. There's no in between with that. You may think oh I only trust this person a little but in truth you trust them fully don't lie to yourself. Trust is not something easily regained after its been basically burned before your very eyes. My trust was set aflame and I need it back. I want the flames of trust to burn in my heart once again.

Since then I've been fine actually. I know you must be thinking. "What the heck!!?! This chick has been experimented on and her soul mate says she shouldn't exist and she sin t the least bit traumatised!!" But I don't care I'm free, I have a new family, a new home, and a best friend. All that happened in the lab is the past and I'm ready for my new future. Alena on the to her hand not so much and I can't blame her. The whole situation was a little worse for her. She was younger, it was her father torturing us, and she was assaulted. The only thing that really bothers me is the fact I have no parents. I know I know I'm 20 now but I still want parents. I want someone I can rely on, someone to scare off boyfriends, send me to college, etc., but most of all love me unconditionally. But sucks for me because not many people want to adopt 20 years olds, date me, and I can't go to college. But besides all that I'm as happy as can be and sooooooo unbelievably grateful for my new start.
