"It wasn't difficult to find them. Two men, one a hacker, the other a fixer. As far as I can tell. Never heard of them before."

I watched Aiden stare at me with disbelief.

"I can explain," I tried, "I-I wanted to tell you."

"Nice work. Names, please."

"Are you planning to hurt them?"

"When has that ever bothered you? I trust the amount is satisfactory."

I felt heavy guilt when I heard what was next.

"Damien Brenks and Aiden Pearce."

"Clara?"

Seconds later, T-bone killed the power. It was dark now. We were being invaded by Default, but too much guilt surrounded me to even care.

"Aiden.."

He grabs my arm tightly almost twisting it.

"You did this?"

"Aiden I-"

But before I could finish, he pushes me away. He pushed me so hard that I fell to the floor. He strides towards me as I try to get up. He reaches for something in his hacket and pulls out a gun. I shook as I curled myself into a ball. I closed my eyes hoping that it would end.

"You did this!"

Next thing I knew, I quickly sat up in bed while breathing heavily. It's just a dream, I thought. It was only a dream. I cover my face with my hands and I couldn't help but feel guilt. Through the past couple of months, I've been having these nightmares. I never told Aiden about them because they involved him either shooting me or leaving me for dead. I know he would never do that, but I still continue to have these nightmares.

I struggle to relax as I shivered a little.

"Clara?"

I jumped as I heard Aiden say my name.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he sat up next to me.

"It's nothing Aiden, just go back to sleep."

"Doesn't seem like nothing to me."

I try to hold my tears in.

"Just leave it Aiden, it's fine," I said more firmly this time.

"Clara, it isn't. Tell me what's wrong."

I couldn't talk about it without crying my eyes out. I just wanted him to forget about it and go to sleep.

"It was just a dream, that's all."

He looked at me for a moment before asking, "Are you having nightmare?"

"Y-Yes," I manage to say before sheading a tear, "But I deserve them."

"No, you don't."

"Yes, I do. It's my fault that your neice died," I said as I was beginning to raise my voice.

"No, it isn't."

"Yes, it is Aiden! Why can't you see that?!"

It hurt so bad inside that I started crying. I hated it and I wanted to stop.

"Clara," he says while placing his hand on my back.

"She would still be alive today if I hadn't gave them information," I said, "If only I wasn't so stupid."

I cryed even harder as he pulls me towards his chest.

"It's okay."

How is it okay? I am responsible for her death.

"How?" I said in between sobs as I looked up at him, "How do you forgive me?"

Aiden was quiet for a moment before saying, "Because I love you Clara."

That just made me want to cry even more. I wrap my arms around his neck and I hug him as tightly as I could. He may have been a dangerous man, but he also had a good heart.

"I love you too."

We sat there embracing each other until I manage to stop crying. I grew a bit sleepy and I managed to fall asleep once more. Rest came easy this time.
