She saw the confusion in his tired eyes. Lyssa held a hand out to him and helped him up. Whenever they stood close together, they were always eye to eye.
Tala pulled Lyssa close to him. There was no response from her. Tala smirked. "You're so cold, Lyssa." he said.
Lyssa pushed him away and didn't meet his eyes as he looked at her face.
"Lyssa…why is…Kai…in our room?"
"I just though…" Lyssa broke off and then recounted all the events from the night before.
Tala listened, his face impassive. He listened until the last word was spoken before saying, "But why did you bring him here? You could've just dumped him off at his grandfather's mansion and be done with him."
Lyssa shook her head. "I still have some unfinished business with him." She smirked back at Tala. "By the way, why weren't you in bed last night?"
"I was on a walk. I…I had some stuff on my mind and I…I just had to go and think by myself."
Lyssa put a hand on Tala's arm and said, "Why can't you trust me as before? You know you can confide in me."
Tala pushed her dark brown hair from in front of her green eyes. He truly smiled at Lyssa, a smile he'd only ever given to her and Kai.
But was Kai still worthy of their friendship?
Supposed Betrayal
Whenever I think of you,
I can feel the pain
You left with me.
The touch of your hands,
The smile on your face,
They remain,
All too clear,
In my memory.
If I could just let it go,
To let it all fade away…
Would I be happy?
Glad to be rid
Of the pain you gave me?
When I see you now,
With her in your arms,
My heart burns with anger
And rage.
Worse than that of those who hurt me,
You have hurt me most of all.
I never want to see your face
Again.
You,
Whom I trusted.
You,
Who took her away from me.
Give me your body
And soul.
I will take
Her heart,
And love her
Like you never could.
I know that seems a bit out of whack, but it hints at Tala's feelings towards Kai. Sorry it's such a short chapter! And thanks to those who're reviewing! TTFN!
