Chapter 14

The next day I woke up and headed right out the door with the book in hand. Just when I stepped outside I ran into Rivaille. Quickly I hid the book behind me before he saw it. Once again he had his gear on and board in hand.

"Alita, you're up early on a Sunday morning. Hey why don't we go to the skate park and hang out there?" Rivaille offered.

"Um… I was planning to go somewhere else today… why don't you go with Levi?" I asked.

"Levi is busy doing other things. Anyways I want to hang out with you. If you like I can join you where ever you go."

"You sure you wouldn't want to be at the skate park?"

"Hey I just want to hang out with you. We don't always have to the skate park you know. We could go to the movies or somewhere else."

"I don't know…"

"Alright then, if you change your mind and you want me to hang out you know where to find me." Like that he got on his board and skated away. I kind of felt bad since I just turned him down for something else. Before I changed my mind I headed towards the mental hospital in search for that crazy old man. When I got to the hospital I felt a bit uneasy for some reason.

"How may I help you?" the lady at the front desk asked.

"Um… I'm looking for a man who goes by the name… *quickly looking at notes*… Kenny Ackerman." I replied.

"Why might you be seeing him today?"

"I want to talk to him about the fairy tale."

"You believe his story too?"

"Not exactly but I do just want to know more about it though. It would really help me with my fiction story writing." I lied. The lady then filled out a visitor's pass and told me his room was five doors down to the right. As I went through the hallway I couldn't help get this weird feeling where something bad is going to happen. Once I reached the door to his room I softly yet nervously knocked on his door. Instantly the door opened and a really tall scary man was now at the door way looking down at me. At first he seemed really angry, but then soon his angry face turned surprised. Then suddenly he pulled me into the room and slammed the door closed behind. Just as I was about to protest, the man sat down in a rocking chair by the window and was peacefully sitting there looking outside.

"What brings you here, Alita Collins?" he questioned. Shockingly I had no idea how he knew my name or what just happened but this was my one chance to find out everything there was to that story.

"Mr. Ackerman I don't know how you know my name or recognize me as me but please tell me the whole story of that fairy tale." I begged. He smiled shortly and afterwards he had a frown on his face.

"Please no need for the formalities. Just call me Kenny. Are you sure you really truly want to know what my 'fairy tale' has to offer?" he replied.

"Please tell me. I want to understand why I'm having these weird flashbacks of things that match up to your fairy tale. And why I found this book with my name in it and pictures of me. I want to know what all this has to do with me." I responded.

"You haven't changed a bit."

"Please get on with the story and how this has to do with me."

"Alright, alright, so impatient like usual… Do you happen to still be with those annoying twins Rivaille and Levi?"

"Y-… how'd you know?"

"It was a lucky guess."

"Please the story!"

"Fine, fine… wait a minute, why do I have to tell you what the story means? I could just let you figure it out yourself."

"Please tell me. I really don't understand this."

"No, I won't tell you. Now leave. You're disturbing me from my peace and quietness." Just when I was about to argue, I gave up. It wasn't worth it. So I left. As I was heading back I was really frustrated since my one and only resource wasn't even helpful. Then when I got home I threw my book on my bed, grabbed my board, and headed to the skate park to hang out with Rivaille. I really needed to do something to get all this stress off me at the moment. So I thought about hanging out with Rivaille and make it up to him. Just as I walked out the door I ran into Levi. That was the second time I ran into someone in one day! For some reason Levi looked a bit… fancy today.

"I'm so sorry, Levi." I apologized.

"No it's alright. You don't need to apologize… What's up? You seem depressed. What happened?" he asked.

"It's nothing. What brings you here?"

"Come on, Alita. I know when something is bothering you. Can't you trust me with it?"

"*sighs* I looked further into the fairy tale that Mr. Pixis was telling us about in history and I didn't get the answer I was looking for."

"So you're all depressed about it?"

"…I guess so…"

"Well if you're not going to be busy now, why don't I take you out to dinner?"

"Take me out to dinner? What about Rivaille? Wouldn't he get worried?"

"Rivaille is busy tonight and I thought if you weren't busy I could take you out for dinner."

"Okay… um… give me a second…" After that I hurried inside, changed my clothes, talked really quick with Artemis, and went back outside.

"Okay, I'm ready now." I said. After that Levi took me a bit far from where we lived to this really nice looking restaurant. Inside was extensively decorated with vibrant colors and pretty much everything looked fit for a King. After few seconds of waiting we were immediately seated in a private room all to ourselves. This kind of felt a bit awkward since this started to feel like a dinner date. Later food started to come one after another and all tasted like heaven. Soon it seemed as though more waiters kept pouring into the room with more and more food. Finally it got to the point where I gave up eating much of the food. After dinner was finished Levi and I walked back home and talked a bit.

"So Alita, did you enjoy the food tonight?" he asked.

"I did. This must've cost you a fortune though. I kind of feel bad that you're for all this." I replied.

"Oh please, it really didn't cost that much, trust me. As long as you enjoyed tonight, I'm happy with that."

"*blushes* Thanks for tonight, that was really great."

"*smiles* By the way are you free tomorrow?"

"… I don't know… things usually happen suddenly and I end up being busy…"

"Please try to keep tomorrow free."

"What else do you have in plan?"

"It's a surprise."

"Please Levi, I don't want you spend a lot of money on me. I'm not that special, really."

"Why would you say that about yourself? You're extremely special to me! You helped me reunite with my twin, you got me to join the football team, won a football game for the team, and here you are saying you're not special at all! You did that all by yourself! So why would you doubt yourself like that?"

"I don't know… sometimes I feel like I'm a burden to everyone… I feel like all the things I did didn't mean anything."

"Alita, you should say that about yourself. You really need to have more confidence in you."

"It just… feels almost impossible…"

"Don't think of it that way then. You really are one special girl. Anyone should fight over for you."

"I feel like I don't even belong here. I just don't fit in." At that moment I felt like crying. I really didn't feel like I fit in with everyone here. I felt completely different. I felt like an outsider. Then suddenly Levi pulled me in close and hugged me tightly.

"Listen, Alita, even if you don't fit in with the others, you're still special to me. Never forget that." Levi declared. Soon I couldn't hold back my tears while my heart started to race. Later Levi stopped hugging me only to wipe away my tears and hugged me right after.

"Please don't cry. I'm here for you. Remember that." Levi added. Afterwards I finally stopped crying but now instead of hugging me he held my hand in his. So my heart was still racing a bit. I started to become a bit nervous. Later Levi gently lifted my chin up and kissed me right on the lips. I wanted to refuse him, but his kiss was just so soothing I couldn't help liking it and wanting more. When he pulled away my heart raced some more.

"I love you, Alita. You're everything to me. If anything were to happen to you I wouldn't know how to forgive myself." Levi announced. Instantly my heart started to race even faster. I felt like everything was slowly disappearing and soon it was only Levi and me up in the clouds. This almost seemed like a fantasy. For some reason I couldn't stop thinking about Rivaille.

"What… what about Rivaille? Wouldn't he get angry at you?" I questioned.

"I already talked this out with Rivaille. He said it was alright for me to love you." He replied. Now I felt really bad since Rivaille wanted to hang out with me earlier today, but I turned him down. After this it must be really hard for him to even be around me if I'm going to be with Levi. My mind was now racing. I started to feel confused. Should I refuse while I still have the chance and go for Rivaille? Or should I stay with Levi?

Now I'm wondering if I should post the next chapter early... or should I leave you in that cliff hanger? I don't know why but I'm being evil once again...

Until next time!~PetraRal7853
