EPISODE EIGHT

What the hell is that?

She's such a crazy girl.

I shook my head and put down the towel off my body leaving my stark naked, I rubbed the lotion I found on the table on my body, It's cold to touch but soothing on skin, I wished I can have something expensive like this if only wished are horses.

After cladding myself in a small short and one of his big shirts, I sat on the bed timidly, Waiting for him.

Shortly, He entered the room with another tray with him, I sprang up to my feet immediately and stared at him for a while, Admiring him again before walking up to him.

There on the tray are three big covered plates, Containing food, My mouth salivated badly as he dropped it on the table, My eyes not leaving his body for a moment, He's a demon, I'm very sure of it.

I'm gonna ask the lady who came here someday who his boss is.

"Your food is ready"He stated in a cold expression, I nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Thank you, I really appreciate"I rushed my words and he nodded.

I opened the plates one after the other and rubbed my hands nervously before eating, He leaned on the wall, His eyes not leaving me for a moment, This man surely know what he's doing, He's trying to make me uncomfortable so I can jump on him and embarrass myself but I'm not going to do that, I will just tell him that he's making me uncomfortable, Just like what I did earlier.

"You're making me uncomfortable,Your eyes..."I stuttered digging the fork into the drumstick and he sighed.

"I don't know why you feel uncomfortable around me but I don't want you to be scared of me,If I wanted to hurt you,I would have done that the moment I saw you on the floor on the restroom"He explained, Feeling frustrated already.

I dropped the fork and held the bedsheets nervously.

I nodded slowly, Not knowing what to say, I don't know what to say to justify my outbursts, I told him two times already that I don't feel comfortable around him, He should ha*te me of course.

"I'm sorry I talked rudely,I'm not scared of you,Just that..."

"Once you're done eating,I will take you home,You're not to stay here forever"He cut me off calmly before walking towards the stand.

I picked the fork again and continue eating.

After my meal, I picked up my old clothes and hugged fold them carefully, I arranged the bed sheets and turned to me once I'm done with it.

"I'm ready sir,Thanks for your hospitality"I says gently behind him, He pushed his hair back and walked up to me.

He moves closer to me, Until I could feel his cold air hitting my hair.

"What happened?"He asked, almost in a whisper, I could barely hear him.

"Uhmmm...,I don't understand what you're saying"I stuttered and dropped my head to my legs, Trying not to look into his face.

He raised my chin up with his thumb and I got lost staring at his grey orbs, I gawked at him for a while.

"You know what I'm talking about,Don't lie to me,Young lady"He mumbled and I nodded before he let go of my chin.

By breathing itched immediately as I tried to find the right words to describe how I feel.

How do I tell him that I'm a badluck whom everyone doesn't want to have anything to do with?

The girl everyone ha*ted because she committed no sin?

The girl who kil*led her father because of her badluck?

Will he be able to understand that it's better not to say it?

"Breathe,Take few breaths"He ordered, Grabbing my face tenderly, I nodded and closed my eyes, I took a deep breath and I felt my nerves calmed down immediately, His eyes not leaving mine.

"I got tired of everything,It was actually my first day at school,I got handful of ha*ters for no reasons,I got bullied and humiliated,I had to go to the restroom to clear my head but couldn't control my breathing so I slumped"I sobbed, Tears slipped down my face as the words came out in a whisper.

"Have you ever tried standing up for yourself?"

"Yes, Everytime I want to,They will remind me that I belong to that lonely,Numb and quiet shell I've hided myself into ever since the beginning of my life,What do you do when everyone turned their backs at you?,for no reasons?"I sobbed and he sighed.

"I did my best,But nothing seems progressive,I went to therapy sessions, Did part time jobs, Play games,Hang out few times with friends,I did everything I could do,But it didn't work I'm tired"I sobbed and he let go of my face, His expression not changed a bit but he seems more calm.

ENEA POV

Her magenta eyes portrays a lot, She's actually going through some stuffs which is eating her up already, I couldn't think of anything again than to protect this tiny woman in front of me, And keep her away from this fu*cked up world.

"Come here"I groaned spreading my arms out for her.

She stared at me innocently with confusion on her face, I titled my head sideways, She nodded and walked up to me.

I wrapped my hand around my shoulder and she continue sobbing.

"It's okay for you to cry,It's okay for you to rant, it's okay not to be okay,Stop bottling up things to yourself like you're strong,You stopped standing up for yourself because you thought it's meaningless for you to do that since they will continue to bully you, No,it's not meaningless,They will keep coming for you if you don't know how to stand up for yourself,You stopped voicing out your opinions because you assumed that they will trample on you over and over again, Stop being so cruel to yourself young lady...I "

"Sia..."She cut me off calmly as she rested her head on my chest, Sulking like a baby.

"Huh..."I asked in confusion.

"I'm Alessia,Nice to meet you"
