Well, here we go with the next chapter. I actually cried while writing this, so...
Enjoy
I kept my head low as I slowly made my way back to the dorm. My heart began to shatter as I grew closer and closer to the door. I clenched my teeth from the emotional pain I felt, the thought of what was to come making me sick. I couldn't stand the emotional distress I felt, I only wanted to run and hide, that way I wouldn't hurt her. Latias finally backed me into a corner, just the memory of what transpired a few minutes ago, fueling the anger and rage I felt for her.
I scanned my key card, opening the door, feeling the tension in the room. Everyone turned, Luna the first to run up to me. She gripped my shoulders, looking into my eyes, hers filled with worry. I hated her worrying most of all, the pain of seeing her hurt would kill me.
" Solomon, babe, what's wrong?" She asked. Her eyes casted to my hands, the blood stained gloves still strapped on." Oh my Arceus, Solomon, what happened!?" She asked, more worried than I ever seen her. My eyes scanned around the room, everyone who I left, still here, worried just as much as Luna was.
I couldn't tell her the truth, Latias would find out, and turn that damn tape in. I had to do as she says, or have the chance of making my situation worse. I turned back to Luna, her eyes filled with worry, searching for an answer, hoping that everything was alright.
" Luna, I'm fine, but...but, I think..." I clenched my teeth tighter, my fist curling tighter, the sharp nails digging into my skin, piercing them hard enough to draw blood. The tears were staining my eyes at that point, the pain becoming too much to bare.
"' You think,' what?" She asked, leaning closer against my chest, her eyes desperate for the answer. It was too painful to look into them, the love she placed behind them, the hope she showed me so many times, now all replaced with the hurt she was feeling now.
" That we go our separate ways," I said, turning away and shutting my eyes as the tears began to fall. I could feel Luna pull off of me, a slight whimper escape her lips.
" Wha-what. Solo-kun, you don't mean that d-do you?" She asked, the tears imminent in her tone. I didn't turn to her, looking away from her. I wanted to though, I wanted to look her in the face, cup her face in my paws. To tell her everything, to tell her the truth of Latias, to ask her for forgiveness. I wanted to hold her in my embrace, and kiss her again, and love her, yet I stood, not moving, not responding.
I felt as she ran past me, the door slamming shut as the cries disappeared down the hall. I looked back at the others, all with looks of shock on their face. Mei, Kiara, and Zion were the first to snap from their shock, immediately running after Luna. Zion stopped by me, slapping me across the cheek before continuing after the Zoroark. Let me tell you, the slap hurt like none other. The stinging left behind hurt worse, but I did my best to keep my composure and not howl in pain. Don came up to me, placing a hand to my shoulder in what I thought was comfort, but instead, he gripped it tighter before throwing a hook to my cheek, the same Zion slapped. Now I was a tank, but hit the same side over and over and it will break, and that's what happened to me as I fell to the floor.
" I deserved that," I said, gripping my cheek as I stood. Don punched me in the gut, forcing me to hunch over in pain.
" You're damn right you do, what the hell!? You run off still loving Luna, and come back breaking up with her? Hell no, you had fast relationships back on Earth, but nothing like this." (True Sh*t) I held my gut as I looked up at him, his eyes filled with anger and question." What's going on dude, talk!" He said. Don was just as bad to tell as Luna, one word on the situation and officers would be at our door. And despite Don's attempt explain, they had pure evidence of me beating on another man.
" Its nothing, I had self realization, that's all." Don grabbed me by the shirt, pinning me against the wall.
" Bullshit! Solomon, I know you, more than you think. Please, tell me, what the hell is going on?" Don looked at me just as Luna did. His eyes were filled with hurt, looking to me for an answer. I wanted to tell him, the words knocking at the door, ready to explode out, to exploit Latias for the bitch she was. I held my tongue, the intensity it kept held back growing in power, begging to be let out, to expose the truth once and for all. I swallowed the words, the pain that came as they went down.
" Its nothing," I said. Don gripped my shirt tighter but let go, tear streaks falling down his cheeks.
" Fine, I won't pressure you anymore. I'm going after Luna," he said, not showing any eye contact. He ran out the door, slamming it harder than the others. I stood there, looking at the floor, not moving, just...thinking. I felt to much pain, my heart trying to cave in on itself.
I took a shower, trying to wash the guilt away, but it still lingered, never giving me a moment to think. I stepped out, towel around my waist, looking into the mirror at myself. The pain just looking at myself. I was disgusting, a monster, a spawn of the distortion world itself. I punched the mirror, it immediately shattering upon contact. I felt the trickle of my own blood, dripping rapidly down through my skin, the pain nothing to me now. I clenched my fist, letting out a roar that was long overdue. The volume of it made the glass shatter more, the room rumbling at the vibrations itself. Tears flowed from my eyes as I continued, all my pain trying to be let out, but it wasn't enough.
I couldn't remember when I stopped, or how long I did do it, but all I could remember was falling asleep that night, tears still falling from my eyes.
-XOXOXOXOX-
Days passed, and each grew worst than the one before. Luna stopped coming to class, and Mei nor Kiara would speak to me. Don barely spoke to me, but only out of disgust and hate. Zion only apologized for slapping me before she too went silent.
It was time for Latias's class again, and the hatred I felt for it grew as I entered the room. As soon as I walked pain hit me as I saw Luna, Don, and Zion, on the green side. I didn't understand, why here, why now?
" Solo-san," I heard a voice from behind me. I prepared myself, turning around to see the downfall of my life. The girl who made me hurt someone I cared deeply for. My...girlfriend, ouch, it hurt just thinking it.
" Hey Latias," I said halfheartedly. The spunky teacher wrapped her arms around my neck, forcing me into an embrace. She leaned into my ear, making it look as nothing.
" Did you do it?" She whispered. I cringed at the hiss in her voice.
" You tell me," I answered back. I could feel as she looked around, gasping as she must have seen Luna's position.
" Ah, poor baby, you okay?" She asked sarcastically. I puffed in irritation, pulling her back to look her in the eye.
" You know damn well I was, when I was with her," I answered, my anger getting to me again. Latias carried an innocent look in her eyes, placing her hands against my chest.
" Well let me help you feel better." With that she placed her lips against mine, I only looked in shock as she did it, staring at her closed ones. I could only stand there as Arceus knows who watched. After about a minute she broke the kiss, looking at me with half lidded eyes." You're still the best," she said softly. I glared at her, making her lose her smile in a mere second before taking my seat on the red side. Everyone looked at me as I did so, answering my quick question.
Latias made her way to the middle of the battle grounds, a sly grin on her face." Alright class, today is hand-to-hand combat, apparently a teacher was randomly attacked a few days ago, and they want you to be prepared in that situation." Latias turned to me, that same grin she held that night, adorned her face again. She winked at me, making me want to snap her fucking neck. I wanted to, but kept my body under control, pushing, no...forcing my gentle side forward. I clenched my teeth in anger at her, despite the attempt to calm down, the legendary hybrid only blowing a kiss up towards me.
" Our first matchup is...ooh, Solomon versus Luna." My eyes widened as I shot up towards the girl I use to call lover. Her eyes carried no emotion as she walked down. I sighed, the pain filling me as I made my way down. Latias stood between both of us, that same hideous grin, mocking me, tormenting my days." First to disable your opponent is the victor." Latias walked over to me, leaning against my shoulder as she reached up, kissing my cheek.
" Good luck, hun," she whispered in my ear. I only sighed, looking at her with a soft gaze. It finally happened, I was broken an too hurt to argue. I turned to Luna, expecting to see her hurt filled eyes, but i was wrong. Her eyes were filled with a sudden hate, a sudden fill of anger and betrayal. Latias walked off to the ref podium, leaving me and Luna alone on the battle grounds.
" You and her?!" She said between clenched teeth." You left me for Latias, our teacher!?" She yelled, loud enough for all to hear. I only looked at her with the same soft eyes I gave Latias, the ones that said," I'm done." Luna took a step closer, fists clenched in a tight grip." Answer me!" She shouted.
" Begin," Latias announced. Luna was quick to move, clawing at my face, forcing me to lean back, the claw a few inches from my face. She continued the moment, launching a roundhouse kick. I grabbed the leg, pushing her back, as I jumped back a few yards.
" That's not it at all, I yelled back. Luna moved faster than I ever saw, the anger and hurt in her eyes, pushing her on. I ducked a punch, sidestepping a jab, blocking a kick. I didn't want to hurt her, but she didn't feel the same as her attacks became stronger.
" Then why? Why leave me, and barely even two weeks later, I see you kissing her, tell me!" I back flipped to the left, jumping to my right as I moved behind her.
" Its none of your concern," I answered back. Bad choice of words, because Luna charged at me faster than before, elbowing me in the chest. The wind flew out of me, the ground meeting me harder than ever. She jumped in the air, spinning as she rose her foot. My eyes widened, my time to react slim as I rolled backwards to my feet, before quickly tossing Latias my jacket and tackling Luna. She squirmed under my grip, but I kept her down with an iron grip.
" I'm sorry Luna, its just...complicated," I said, feeling the tears come again. I could see the tears in her eyes too, the pain being too much for both of us.
" Why is it so complicated. I'm...or I was your girlfriend, we should've talked it out." I looked at her with a pain filled look, the pain in my heart to much to bare.
" Luna, its not that simple, its..."
" Solomon is the victor!" I heard Latias shout in glee, interrupting me. She tackled me to the ground, planting her lips to mine, still uncaring to whom saw. I saw out the corner of my eye as Luna stood up, looking at me one last time before running off. I laid there, wishing I told her, but I didn't, the fear keeping me from telling her.
' Luna'
-XOXOXOXOX-
Don shoved me against the wall, his rage reaching its highest degree. His grip was tight and his eyes gave a look that says'" lie again and you're dead."
" Dude, you better answer me now! What the hell is going on between you and Latias?!" I kept my mouth shut, looking away from him best I could, but there was no avoiding those eyes.
" Its something we're doing together," I answered. Don shoved me harder into the wall.
" Solomon, answer me truthfully, or I'll go to Latias herself," he said. My eyes widening at the mention of Latias. If Don went to her she might think i told, dammit, another corner. Either tell Don, or tell Latias and have the tape turned in. It wasn't a contest. I hung my head, as I signed in defeat.
" Fine, you win," I conceded. Don released me, crossing his arms, leaning his weight onto his left leg. I took a deep breath before I began to explain everything, all since the beginning incident in the infirmary. Don listened carefully, his eyes going wide at the very beginning, getting a little wider as i explained more.
I told him all the hurt, the anguish, the pain, the remorse I felt as I broke up with Luna. I couldn't tell her, explaining to Don why, the evidence, the lies, all the way up to today.
A sudden thump caught my attention, the sound right outside our door. I shot towards it, opening it to see Luna turn the corner, down the hall. I shot a look towards Don, who smiled for the first time weeks.
" Go," was all he said before I shot down the hall after the one I loved. I jumped steps one flight at a time, charging at the dorm doors. I swiveled my head, seeing Luna run towards the administrative dorms. I used my speed, easily catching her, tackling her to the ground, holding her hands down as I sat between her legs.
" Luna, don't do this," I asked. She squirmed, the anger behind it making it hard to control.
" Let me go, that bitch is going to get what she deserves!" She said. She kicked me in the gut, knocking me away before she tried to roll over and get up again. I tackled her again, holding her down as she tried to crawl. I flipped her over, this time standing on my knees above her hips.
" That's why I didn't tell you, I knew you'd be too rash. That's what Latias wants, an excuse to turn that tape in." She stopped struggling, turning to look at me with hope in her eyes.
" You mean, you don't love her?" She asked. Her emeralds carried hope again, the pain in my heart finally subsiding, the anguish disappearing.
" You're the only girl I love," I said, smiling softly. Luna smiled before we connected lips in such a passionate kiss. We held it, me pulling Luna into a tight embrace, holding her tight as she wrapped her arms around my back, doing the same. I broke the kiss, telling her something I wanted to for the past weeks.
" I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I said, the tears falling again." I love you," I whispered to her. Her smile was bright as she began to cry to, kissing me again, breaking to return the words.
" I love you too," she said. I smiled at her, it disappearing as I turned to the administrative building.
" Now there's just one problem left."
