Between Love And Blood Chapter 14
After the entire incident it was a while before I even thought about leaving the Rosebush on any other excursions again. Unless it was something important I tried to find an away out of it.
Something strange was happening to me. Next to the chores and other duties I'd usually have to perform Justin and I were spending far more time together than we ever had been before. Either he'd show up to assist in some of my jobs while for others he'd invite me to visit him as he was guarding the post at the entrance. Each time I discreetly tried to work information out of Justin without him knowing pieces I knew Jenner would find any form useful.
Each time Justin and I spent out waking hours together an emotion stirred inside me. One I didn't yet recognize. It felt similar to the feelings I had for my own brother, but different. I didn't know what these range of emotions were and yet…I was strangle satisfied. Becoming more content with the situation. Unfortunately all of this just made me far more guilt ridden about the deception I was putting him through. The thoughts kept traveling back to my mind and with every instance they did I couldn't help but be reminded of what his reaction might be if he ever discovered the truth.
We'd been dear friends for a very long time. It turned into such a strong and powerful friendship out of all this. The answer is unclear as was the place fate would lead once this path came to an abrupt halt. I can only hope Justin's own destiny would turn out much better than my own. I may already have obtained a picture of my own fortune, but Justin's stays steady uncertain.
