Chapter 4

Levi's POV

The next day Alita didn't show up to class at all. It was pretty lonely without her around. As the day was dragging along I regretted ever saying that I regretted ever being kind to her. I didn't mean it to come out that way. I meant to say that I regretted not being kind to her and that she wasn't like the others. But it all went wrong. Now she hates me and I feel like I'm all alone. At the end of the day I went to Erwin's class and stayed there for a while.

"Erwin I don't even know what do to anymore. I said the complete opposite of what I wanted to tell her. Now she wouldn't even talk to me or see me. I went to drop off her stuff at her house and her parents were completely yelling at me for the first five minutes thinking I was the problem of her." I stated.

"Technically you are her problem. She was ignoring you before because of what you told me yesterday after school. You yelled at her for not having her head in the game. She must've thought you didn't want to speak to her again because of that. She didn't mean any harm to that." Erwin explained.

"It's a bit too late for that explanation you know."

"I know but next time you should learn from this."

"What if that was my only chance? What if she never wants to see or talk to me again?"

"Sooner or later she'll have to come back to school. Until then you just have to be patient. You shouldn't rush things."

"Erwin you're no help you know."

"You came to me. I was about to go home when you chose to visit me and have this conversation with me."

"*getting really irritated* You should at least try to be a little bit more helpful you know."

"Hey I'm trying. Just give her another day and she might loosen back up. She just needs some time to be alone and think things through. Now what else did she say to you yesterday before she ran home?"

"She said, 'You're just like the ones who bullied me in the past. I looked up to you ever since the first day I met you. Now all you did was hurt me like everyone else. I only look up to them. I don't consider anyone my friends. I never did have a friend to begin with. I thought that when I could look up to you, you would at least be kind to me… but I was wrong. Thanks for bringing my old pain back to me.' What could that mean?"

"*thinks* First off she mentioned being bullied. She must've been bullied in the past. It seemed like all she did was look up to people. She never trusted anyone though. Because of that she must've been really hurt in the past and after you yelled at her it brought back some of the pain as well."

"Great now I made her feel bad."

"But the important thing is that she mentioned being kind. It seemed like she was having troubles with that as well. It seemed like all she ever wanted was someone to be kind back to her. She must've tried to be kind to a lot of people but then get rejected and bullied some more."

"Can't you tell me something that won't make me feel worst than I already am?"

"It seems like the only way to make it up to her is by apologizing and being kind to her constantly like she was to you."

"Maybe I should try to see if she would still want to see me or not."

"Just give her another day to herself and she should be fine."

"I'm worried about her. If she was alone in the first place, wouldn't being more alone make her feel even worst?"

"But would you want to ruin your friendship with her?"

"She already said that she only looked up to me. There was never a friendship between the two of us in the first place." So quickly I hurried to Alita's place before her parents came home. Hopefully she would be willing to talk to me today.

Alita's POV

After a while of sleep I heard a knock at the door. Since my parents weren't home yet I had to go see who it was. At the door was Levi. I wanted so badly to slam the door right at his face, but something in me kept me from doing so.

"Alita, will you give me just one second of your time?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and went outside not talking to him just yet.

"Alita, please forgive me. I didn't mean what I said yesterday. It all came out wrong. I'm sorry if I brought back past memories that hurt you. Even if you don't want to ever talk or see me again, just know that I'm sorry." He apologized. After that he started to leave and I felt a little bit better.

"Levi, wait." I called out. Levi paused, then quickly turned back around and looked at me.

"Do you want to come in for some tea?" I asked. Levi then nodded and I allowed him in. Then I made some tea and gave him some. As we sat quietly across from each other, I felt like apologizing to him as well for how I acted in the first place, but I was still a bit scared to even talk to him.

"Um… Alita… why didn't you consider me as a friend or anyone a friend?" he questioned. At that moment I kind of choked on my tea when he asked that.

"…I could never trust anyone because I was constantly bullied… I was afraid to be betrayed by a friend." I replied.

"Alita, next time someone is bullying you come tell me and I'll beat them up."

"But… I don't want to rely on someone to always be there to protect me… I want to be able to fend for myself… but I'm just always scared."

"Alita, it's alright to have someone to protect you. You shouldn't be afraid of that."

"I'm not afraid of that! You're not getting it! I'm afraid of losing someone I dearly care for!" After that I broke into tears as bad memories came back to me. Before I knew it Levi got up, sat next to me, and started to hug me.

"Alita, don't hold in all your pain. I know how painful it can be to tell someone about it. I know. I've been through the same thing too once. Trust me you can tell me anything."

"*sniffles* I don't know…"

"I promise to not tell anyone about it. This will just be between you and me."

"*sniffles once more* It happened in 1st grade. Lizzy and I were best friends… then one day she ended up dying from a car crash… I couldn't forgive myself since I thought I could've saved her… *cries a little more*… After that everyone thought it was also my fault for Lizzy's death. That was when all the bullying also occurred… Then from that day on I was afraid to make friends ever again for that I was afraid to ever go through the same pain of losing someone I really cared for." As I cried some more Levi was holding me and was trying to comfort me through the pain. For the first time ever I had someone there to comfort me through the pain. It felt really nice to have Levi here for me even though I thought he was going to be really angry at me and we did have a little of an argument.

"Alita, are you alright?" Levi asked. I pulled away and wiped away the remaining tears from my eye.

"Yeah… thanks for being here and trying to comfort me… I'm sorry for trying to ignore you…" I thanked.

"You're welcome. Next time Alita when you're troubled again, come to me. I'll help you through it. Will you come to school tomorrow?" he replied.

"Yeah I will."

"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow." Like that he started walking towards the door. Once he was outside I got a phone call from a weird number. When I picked it up, it was the Police. They reported that my parents died from a car crash. Instantly I broke down in tears. Now I was alone. But the Police said that they called my brother to come home to watch me, but it wouldn't be until a few days until he actually arrives. For the moment I was truly alone. I was terrified as well. Soon it started to rain outside and the power to my house went out.

Then I thought about going over to Levi's house, but all the umbrellas were broken. Shortly after thunder roared through the skies and I became scared. So quickly I ran across the street in the pouring rain and started banging on Levi's door. When he opened the door I was already soaking wet and I was terrified.

"Alita, what are you doing here? Hurry, come in before you get sick." He stated. Then he pulled me inside and his mom got me a towel to dry me off while Levi got me some tea.

"Alita, what happened? Why are you here?" he asked again.

"*cries* My parents just died in a car crash… the power at my house wouldn't work… and I was scared… and alone…" I explained. As I started to break down, Levi held onto me and tried his best to get me through the pain.

"Alita… when I lost my dad I didn't know what to do… I felt the same pain as you did… I felt as though I could've done something to prevent it from happening… but no matter what we do or how many times we wish we could redo it all over again, it just won't happen… but know that I'm here to help you through it. I never had someone to help me through it and I still feel horrible about it to this day. But I want to help you so you don't have to go though the same pain as I did." Levi admitted. Afterwards he gently wiped the tears from my eyes and then hugged me some more. Like that I felt a little bit in love, but I was scared. I didn't want to lose him like I did with my parents and Lizzy. Quickly I pushed him away and then turned around. I just didn't want to lose him or anyone else. That was why I didn't consider anyone my friend or wanted to fall in love. All I could do was bring bad luck and death to the one I cared for the most.

Seeing more of Levi's POV... Alita and Levi making up... then a bucket of feels... T^T ... I'm not crying... okay, maybe I am... why did I have to make it this sad? Will I put more or less feels in the next chapter?
