7 The talk

Lucy's POV:

I run crying desperately searching for Ashley in the mansion. I hate talking about my past lover because he is someone worth forgetting. He was a druggie and a womanizer.

He was and still is a skilled manipulator of desire. He had sluts gather all around him while we were "dating". He would purposely lie to my face all the time with his fake excuses. He was the king of a man-whore. I suffered severe punishment from him if I disobeyed him.

So I kept disobeying. He treated me like a dog and got 2 nasty scars on my back. It happened when I stole 100 grand and gave it to Ashley to hide it from him. The other scare happened when I refused to be his play toy. That evil man's name was Korey Moore. Ever since I and Ashley escaped that place I worked my ass off to keep us alive.

I was protecting and caring for my little sister but who was taking care of me, no one. My little sister had my back for everything except for shoulders I could lean on and cry when my life got chaotic sometimes. Anyway, I need to make this memory go away.

"Ashley, are you here?"

"Ashley?"

I couldn't find her so I just went back to my room crying my heart out.

Ashley POV:

As soon as Lucy told me to leave I knew things would get out of hand. So I just wandered around the house exploring it in more detail. If something did happen to Lucy I know she would end up crying somewhere in the house if she couldn't find me.

I hope she was alright no matter where she was, cause I couldn't be there to talk to her. It's Seth hurt her I'll kick his ass and that is a promise I will take. Even if he is a vampire, I will still kick his ass.

Seth's POV:

Did I really hurt Lucy's feeling that much? I didn't mean to make her cry. I just wanted to know what happened that's all. I guess I shouldn't have pushed my luck. It only caused harm in the end, wait why do I care about her? I guess I should go and apologize to her. I mean I am a royal asshole.

"Lucy? Where are you? I'm sorry."

As you run around the mansion I finally smell Lucy's scent. I can't really describe her scent but all I know is that it smells like mysterious strawberry. I finally found her in our room or should I say mine.

"Lucy, I'm sorry for what I did. I just wanted to fix the hurt you felt in your heart. You don't have to tell me. I just want you to know that I'm here for you. Please forgive me?"

"I'm not ready to tell you yet Seth."

"I don't expect you too yet. Just lean on me. It's ok to cry and let it out just know, you don't have to keep covering your heart with armor. I'll be your armor if you let me." I said.

Lucy's thoughts:

It was sweet what he said but I don't know if I can let my armor be someone else right now. My feelings are just too raw at the moment.

Back to my life:

"I'm not ready to give someone else my heart yet."

"Ok, I'll be waiting for you, Lucy."

"Well don't because I don't want you to know." Is what I thought and of course, he knew If he was actually listening in at the moment.

lunch passes

After our little talk, I took a nap as soon as he walked through the door. I guess he respects me a little because I needed to sleep. It was really nice. But I'm thankful for that and that was the last thought before I took a nap.
