425-F*ck You All.
“Lazlo!” I groaned, staring at him and not understanding why he wasn’t responding to me.
“Would you at least say something?” I demanded to know, but he turned his face to the other side. At this point, I pretty much knew my fate.
I leaned back with my eyes, searching for answers from someone who wasn’t even communicating with me. The slow and painful fear of getting into trouble was much worse now that I was merely a human.
“Guys! What is going on?” Maynard rushed downstairs with Christina, leaving others upstairs to ask us. The silence gave him an answer. I realized I cannot trust anyone, but at least I need to give it a try. They have played me; why can’t I ask them to help me out of this mess?
“Would you accept me?” I asked, not raising my face but hearing a gasp from Christina.
“How dare you?” Christina grunted, not accepting the fact that I asked Maynard that question.
“You have always wanted a second chance from me. You told me you were sorry for your mistakes in the past. So tell me, would you accept me?” I asked him again, looking directly into his eyes this time. He looked baffled and lost. Lazlo got up from beside me and started chuckling sarcastically.
“Amazing!” he clicked his tongue. I didn’t have time to react to his misery. He cannot leave me in trouble and expects me not to look for help elsewhere.
“Tell me, Maynard!” I demanded again, watching Christina
hold his hand tightly and pull him back a little.
“You said you wanted to be with me. What if I tell you if you say yes tonight, I am all yours?” I hated the fact that I was so miserable that offering my love to him was the only option left. And I wasn’t going to back down from my side of the deal, even if I felt angry and betrayed by him for the rest of my life for what he did a day ago.
“Maynard! Tell me,” I requested, getting on my feet and watching him lower his face and then c*ck his head toward Christina. So he pretty much gave me his answer.
I was chasing after a lost cause. None of these people were going to help me out of this mess. I stepped back from them and watched them one by one, staring back at me-some in anger and some in guilt.
“Did you expect us to stand beside you after what you did to us?” Christina scoffed, making no sense at the moment.
“So! Has the decision been made already?” Corbin walked downstairs, rubbing his palms excitedly.
