Chapter 109 FIVE MONTHS (7)



" Max knows the truth." Lecia say nervously.

" What ?..."

That\'s not possible.....that shouldn\'t be possible.

" Max knows the truth about the demons.", Lecia added in once again.

I feel like my mind is going to break under all this goddamn pressure, too many unsavory things were happening at once which only added more fuel to the whirlwind raging on inside my mind.

" How ?", I ask taking in a huge breath of ever-present oxygen in an effort to calm myself down.

" Well....Max heard your conversation with Dina and came to me....\'concerned\', it was a small mistake...but he forced us to tell the truth.", Eric says taking over from Lecia.

Shit....

Max heard the conversation between me and mo--Dina ?

That\'s not good....

" About the conversation.....why did you lie to us ?", Lecia asked gently, as if she was talking to a baby.

My mind searched for some kind of lie that would sound plausible, in the end I decided to just go with the truth....well a half-truth if such a thing exists.

" Dina\'s crazy...she claims to be my mother."

Both Eric\'s and Lecia\'s eyes widen hearing me,

" What ?", Eric asked clearly confused.

I stay silent, not wanting to repeat myself.

" Why did you lie about it...?", Lecia asked

Before answering her, I think about Martin and Clara and the reason for their lies.

" I didn\'t want you to feel guilty.", I said staring apologetically at Lecia.

" Oh.", she says in return.

But the change was evident in her eyes, they had softened considerably.

...

I guess guilt-tripping does have it\'s uses, huh ?

Silence descended upon us as I thought about my next course of action which is obviously confronting Max....

Dealing with the \'grandparents\' can come up later....

" Adam.....about the ascaris.....you should be honest with Emilia since it\'s better th-"

" Ok...I will.", I say interrupting Lecia.

Since Max knows.....soon everybody will, that\'s going to be a big change but I\'m nothing but adaptable...so everything\'s going to be fine....yeah....it\'s going to be totally fine....yeah....

" How did Max react after learning the truth and how much does he know ?", I ask plans unfolding in my mind.

" We told him everything we knew....sorry.", Lecia murmured silently.

" It\'s fine.", I say making awkward hand gestures.

" Max said that he needed some time to think...he asked to bring you to the park today.....night.", Eric says casually as if he was talking about the weather.

" What ?!....you\'re telling this to me only now !", I ask surprised.

" He told us to ignore you....so that you wouldn\'t have time to make up a lie and frankly speaking.....I think he\'s right so please.....just come clean.", Eric says a strange emotion playing around his face.

...So that\'s the reason why they\'ve been ignoring me ?

.....

I don\'t want to accept it....but they\'re right.

It\'s time to come clean.

It was the dead of night, yet inside of sleeping in my comfortable bed....I was in a car which was slowly driven by Victor as per my request.

I was in no hurry to reach that stupid park.

I spent a lot of time thinking about how to approach Max.

\'Purrrr\'

Rhys gently purred [?] in my lap as if he had sensed my agitation, I gently pat his head.

" Why\'re you bringing Rhys again ?", Eric asked looking puzzled, he sat beside me.

" We\'re going to the park right ?.....Rhys loves the park."

That\'s a lie.

I brought him because I was nervous and he was sort of like a comfort giving plushie to me.

\' Purrr\'

Rhys purrs yet again...instead of talking.

Anyway.....I wasn\'t exactly looking forward to this interaction but a small part of me strangely felt relieved.

I close my eyes and wait....

~~~~

The usually crowded park was desolate at night, it looked kind of gloomy.

Lecia and Eric walked on either side of me as Rhys ran around around us, since it was night I didn\'t see the need to use a leash on him.

Max sat on a bench and beside him....was Katherine.

Oh no...

I glanced at Lecia who shrugged to show that she didn\'t know what was going on.

" What\'s she doing here ?", Eric asked as we approached the bench.

" I told her the truth."

That was all that Max said.

...

" Why ?", Lecia asked, eyes widening.

" ...because I wanted to talk to someone about all this.", Max said glaring at me.

Katherine didn\'t look angry....but an emotion unknown to me flitted across her face.

This wasn\'t going as I expected but....it\'s going to be fine.

Yeah.....everything is going to be fine.

Silence descended upon us as everybody looked toward me for some sort of excuse or explanation....

" Look....you have every right to be angry, I planned on telling you all everything when the time came but everything became so complicated...it\'s all my fault.", I say apologetically.

Katherine\'s gaze softens as she heard my explanation but Max still didn\'t lose the hardened expression on his face.

Taking a deep breath, he jumps up from the bench and walks closer to me, he stops mere inches away from me.

" Tell me.....why didn\'t you tell \'me\' the truth ?", Max says while staring deep into my eyes.

I don\'t back away from him even though all my instincts were telling me too.

Max wasn\'t asking why I lied to them....he was asking me why I had lied to \'him\' specifically....

" I didn\'t think you would be able to handle it....since you\'ve believed that your parents were killed by demons since....forever."

I can\'t believe it but I think his face hardened even further...

That might not have been the best thing to sa-

\'BAM !\'

" THAT ISN\'T YOUR DECISION TO MAKE !!", Max shouted while I fell on the ground due to the force of his punch....

\'Shit\', I think my nose broke.

Lecia, Eric and Katherine hold back Max from pouncing on me.

Max was shouting all sorts of curses at me, but I didn\'t hear anything he said.

I stared down at the blood on my hand....

Why ?

What the fuck did I do to deserve this ?

This fucker can\'t handle shit, just like I thought....why would he try to pounce on me like a feral animal...

So, I was right....

The pain from his punch added more fuel to my anger, why the fuck are all these little shits punching me for every little thing....do they even know the things I\'ve done to reach where I am now ?

I\'m not a fucking pushover.

I get up dusting my clothes,

" Who the hell do you think you are.....you fucking brat ?"

Black flames slowly appear on different parts of my body as my anger spirals out of control.

Everything.....can just go fuck itself.
