30

He's insane.

He's a maniac.

He needs as much help as possible and I am not sure I can give that help but I don't want to he around him when he finally snaps.

Thankfully, or fortunately, the fact he snapped made me realize that no matter what he acted like, or whatever name I gave him.

Inside was a psychotic bastard that fed off my fear every single time and I would never ever be able to let that go.

It was already getting dark and Pops has returned with not just some wood but also fishes that we could try and eat and was extremely surprised to see the tent all up and done, saying I always waited for him to do it.

Scoff.

So as we sat, me extremely far away from the both of them as they looked up at the stars and drew some constellations while I poles the fire, praying to the heavens that sleep wash over me and I could be in school the next day with them man I love, I hear Pops say "Hey, Princess. What's your horoscope again? I always keep forgetting"

I shrug "I don't know...."

"Scorpio" Adam replies, looking at me "She's Scorpio"

Pops makes a confused face as he says "The Scorpion? Makes sense a little bit though. She always stings everyone"

I groan "Pops" And then face Adam "And you don't know that"

"November 11, 2002" He says with a smile "Scorpio"

Pops nod his head "Very accurate by the way"

"And I know you" He replies "I've lived with you all my life"

"You left when I was six" I reply "So there's no way you can know everything"

He makes a smug look on his face and says "Ask away"

"Favourite food?"

"You barely like eating. You only do it because you don't want your Father feeling bad or worried and also because his food tastes relay nice"

"Why do I call him Pops"

"When you were about three, you had a lisp problem so pronouncing Dad, or papa, or Father was very hard for you so you stuck to Pops"

I gulp in as Pops is quiet too while I ask "Favourite colour"

"Ash or the colour Gray, because it's not really black, and not really white. Just as you are"

"Okay that's just common information, you could ask anyone" I say "But there's one you can't possibly know"

"Shoot"

"Why did I try killing myself?"

He looks aghast at the question and Pops too.

And I know why I asked it.

No one knew it, no one COULD, there were rumours, there were thoughts...

But no one could guess it.

"Adam...."

"Liliana, stop"

This is Pops as he sighs and says "We don't.... I thought we agreed never to talk about this"

Adam isn't looking at me anyway, but possibly through me, if that was possible as Pops continues "And we were just having fun, I don't understand why you would wanna ruin it with something so sad"

"Pops...."

"I need to take a walk" He cuts me off, standing up and dusting some snow off his body "I should be back before you both are asleep, but if you see the need to do so, do not wait up for me" And he is walking away before I can say anything else.

I stare at his retreating figure as I hear Adam say "I don't know why you did that"

I turn to him as I notice that his eyes are now on the fire and the smile gone replaced with something close to... Anger? As his eye colour now being to switch back and forth between his subtle green and glowing red.

"I... In all my lifelines did I tell you?" He says "I did not have a Mother in the 999 ones"

I stay quiet as he continues "For some reason that only God knows, I was always born as an Orphan or to a Father that did not care but this time... I had one"

He carries a stick and begins to poke it at the fire "Her name was... Hinata, she was... Um japanese. A beautiful woman, you know, very... Very beautiful, people say I look like her...." He lets out a small chuckle "And my Father... A ravaging handsome man... He had married her solely for that reason, you know, to produce a very beautiful child, as Mother was not smart or intelligent or anything.... All she had was a good heart and a pure face and people.... People use people like her...."

His face contorts into pain "She... She loved me... She knew that I was not.... Normal. When she realized that I had the ability to.... To join her in her dreams, and I would see what she dreamt... She would hug me and tell me it was a beautiful gift and I could help people not.... Not have nightmares anymore.... And she... She had the most horrible... Dreams.... But she would... Um, she would go to her garden... And water her flowers because you see, that was the only thing she could do  perfectly...."

Then he looks at me, with a small smile "She began growing lilies after you were born and you loved them..." Then he clenched his fists "But people.... Without love they.... She couldn't.... I wasn't enough, you know, I had... You to think about, to worry about. I had finally sees the woman that I had waited and suffered a thousand lives for, next to me and I was... Amazed and she... She didn't tell me that she couldnt...."

His voice was breaking as I say "Adam...."

"She drugged herself too" He continued, shutting his eyes "And... And I was too busy being with you then to have noticed. Now, you do the same thing and question my sanity every single time? My mother died, without telling me she was going through hell so I could love you and be happy and you... And you want to waste that.... Gift.... That...."

His eyes flashes open and they are perfectly red now as he says "You make them go away..... The voices there... They mock me.... They say... They say it's my fault that you don't want me... And my fault that I lost my Mother, that I kill everything I touch but that's not true is it?"

There is obvious pain in his eyes as I stare, feeling my heart break.

I can hear the fortune tellers voice in my head.

He had gone so long with pain and loneliness....

(Or something like that, I, the dear author, have no idea what it is)

And I hear myself say "No. No it's not, that's why I'm your friend, I'd help prove it, okay?"

His eyes now dilate, the green slowly coming back to the surface "You... You won't leave?"

I smile "Cross my heart"

But deep down, I knew I was starting something that would onlu get worse.
