Broken Promise

Chapter 2


I was about to say something, but it seemed that he didn't noticed me, he just passed by. I was full of anger, I couldn't control myself, and so I turned and just yelled.

-Halt! Leon Oswald!

He was somewhat far from me, but I'm sure he heard. He just turned back.

-Yes?

I don't know why, but when I saw him, looking into my eyes...I forgot what I wanted to say. I just said the first thing that came to my mind.

-You are so f*cking arrogant.

When he heard that, he approached.

-What are you saying to me? And WHO ARE YOU?

-Are you deaf or something? By the way I'm Rogue Carroll.

His face changed when he heard my name, he looked confused and lost, and started to move towards me by pure inertia. Or that's what it looked like. I didn't understand what he was trying to do. But, I knew that if I got to get him close, it was for sure that I was going to slap him or something. I wasn't thinking straight anymore.

-Don't come any closer or I'll shoot!

My words seemed to bring him back to reality.

- What are you saying? Are you insane? And well, you don't have a gun.

-Are you sure? - I said as I pulled out a gun and aim it at Leon.

I didn't planned any of this, I just wanted to tell him that he couldn't come here and do as he pleased, and that he must respect Sora and everyone else. But I was acting stupid, something was wrong with me. And it was because of him.

Hanna and Danna appeared from behind a door. They were actually watching the whole thing since the beginning.

-OMG! She actually had a gun!

The two girls came nearer.

-Rogue! Please! Don't do it! - said the girls in unison.

-Oh, come on girls...you are too dramatic...Is a prop gun! What type of person do you think I am?

The girls were about to say something, but I interrupted.

-Never mind, don't answer.

I heard that someone was approaching, it was Mia, and she was running towards us. If Mia saw everything…

-Rogue! What are you doing?!

-Me? Nothing...what are you talking about?

-About that gun...

-Which gun? - I said while throwing away the evidence.

-Rogue...I'm so sorry...but, I'm taking you to the owner.

-Mia! Please! No! He is going to fire me for sure this time! - I felt like I was going to cry.

-I can't do anything, everybody saw what happened.

I looked around, we weren't alone...of course everybody saw it. I couldn't believe how I didn't notice it. It should not have happened, but it was too late.

Mia and I went to Kalos office, Mia got in first. I just wanted to run away and pretend nothing happened. Mia was taking too long there. Actually, in less than 5 min, she came out.

-Rogue, now you go in...

I didn't want to go there; I was going to be fired. I never thought it would end up like that. I walked in, head down...I was so sad. The room felt way too big this time. Kalos looked angry. It was not the first time I saw him angry.

-Miss Carroll, I told you before...a 3rd incident and...

-But I did nothing! I swear! Please don't fire me! PLEASE! I love designing the costumes here...I really enjoy it! Please!

Kalos knew that I had always done an excellent job, but he couldn't stand my reckless behavior.

- Ok, I'm calling Leon Oswald.

-What? Nooo! Don't do that!

-Wait here...I'll come back in a second.

And he left. My eyes started to fill with tears, even though I wasn't someone who broke easily. I was sure that he was telling everything. It was over. Then, I heard the door opening. The owner was back, and Leon was with him. I stopped crying immediately.

-So, Mr. Oswald…Miss Carroll aimed a gun at you?

I was just about to start crying again, when I noticed Leon was staring at me.

-No, she didn't - he said calmed.

-Are you sure? - asked Kalos.

-Yes...I could swear it - he said with poker face.

Kalos looked puzzled. But Leon said I did nothing, so there was nothing to do.

-Ok...Miss Carroll, Mr. Oswald, you can leave.

I was really amazed of what happened, it was necessary to apologize or at least say "Thank you".

- Uhm, Leon...I don't want to say this, but...thank you.

-Yeah...whatever.

-Aren't you suppose to say "you're welcome"?

-No - he said and left.

I was about to get angry again, but well...he saved me from getting fired. I could let it pass.


It was late so I needed to hurry to get into the dorms. I was on my way to the stairs when I saw him. It didn't make me stop or anything, I was on my way. But then, I noticed that he was going to the stairs too. He was behind me...and getting to the same floor as me.

-Are you following me? - I asked him.

-Of course not.

-You are following me! Go away!

-I'm not following you. You are too noisy.

-Then, your room is on the third floor?

-Yes.

-Mine too - I was feeling uneasy, he was going to be on the same floor as me...I would see him often.

I stood in front of the door and I was about to open the door. I noticed him behind me.

- What do you are you doing? - he asked.

- Opening the door of my room...what else?

-Well, Rogue…that's the same room that was assigned to me.

-What? It can't be! There must be some mistake! I have been staying here for more than a year!

-It's not my fault! This key, that is for this room – he said as he showed me the key - ...was given to me this morning by some lady called Sarah.

-SARAH! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
