Ok, this chapter Kevin explains himself... But first - no, I won't spoil it for you. Let's just say someone feels someone towards someone and does something to that someone and later someone gets sad :( ...or you could just read and find out! :)
Julia's P.O.V.
The buzzer went off and we all filed out of the arena. I was quite happy when I saw Kruthika holding hands with a certain green ninja as they walked out together. Amanda was standing off to the side, playing with some wires inside her stomach.
"You ok, Amanda?"
"Yeah, it's just a simple fix. Zane showed me how to deal with malfunctions and stuff."
"Did you have a malfunction?!"
"Nah, just a leg spasm..."
Then Zane came out of the arena and helped her out. Nya and I stood there, waiting for our boyfriends. After a while, Cole carried out a bloody-nosed and unconscious Kevin. My eyes widened.
"What the hell happened?!" I shouted.
Suddenly, Kai came storming out with Jay right behind him. "Just calm down, Kai -"
"I CAN'T FUCKIN CALM DOWN! I TOLD YOU WHAT HE SAID!" Wow... he sounds really pissed. Kai looked like he was gonna punch Jay, then I stepped between them.
"What. THE fuck. Happened." I said slowly. Kai's looked softened for about two seconds when he saw me, then turned and ran from the building. I looked at Jay for answers.
"Umm... apparently Kevin said something to make Kai mad and he... kinda punched Kevin in the face."
"He kinda punched him?! He's freakin unconscious!" Then, it was my turn to run from the room. Somehow, I felt a part of me deep inside that knew Kai wouldn't just attack my boyfriend because he said "something".
It's a good thing I'm faster than Kai, because I caught up with him quickly. He was beating the shit out of a dumpster like a wild animal with... tears in his eyes?
"Kai...?" His head snapped up, and he was ready to run off again when he realized I had him cornered. "C'mon, Kai. Talk to me." He looked at his shoes - now ripped from kicking the dumpster - and refused to talk. I took a couple of steps towards him. "What's wrong?" I said, putting a cautious hand on his shoulder.
Finally, Kai took a deep breath and said, "If-I-tell-you-what-Kevin-just-told-me-back-there-you're-gonna-assume-I'm-trying-to-break-you-guys-up-and-never-talk-to-me-again." It sounded like one long word, but I understood.
Ooooooo. This I gotta hear, came an annoying voice inside my head.
Fuck you, Garmadon. Don't you have anything better to do besides eavesdrop on a random person's life?
... Ah. Sweet silence.
"Kai, I trust you. And if it has anything to do with me, then I have a right to know." He took another deep breath and spilled everything Kevin told him. I could practically see the conversation happening in my mind... Wait a sec. I was seeing it in my mind! Even when Kai stopped mid sentence to see if I was listening, the scene went on in my mind.
"Why does he hate her so much?"
"Who gives a fuck anymore? It pisses him off, that's all that makes me happy."
"What about Julia? Don't you love her for who she is?"
"Who cares about her? I'm just happy to finally get back at the bastard who made my life a living hell."
Then Kai pulled back his fist and BAM! Right in the nose.
"Julia? Are you even listening to me?" Kai asked.
"I don't need to," I whispered. Tears began filling my eyes... No. There must've been a reason for Kevin to say that... right? I cleared my throat. "He... might have had a reason... right? He almost proposed to me... He said he loved me."
Then Kai hugged me. "We'll figure this out. I only got part of the story, so their might've been more to it," he whispered to me. I lost myself in his open arms, and didn't think of anything but the warmth within the fire ninja's arms.
And I didn't question my thoughts this time.
After that little... um, episode, Kai walked me back to the house. Kevin was sitting on the couch with a bandaged nose while watching TV. Kai went to his room, and I sat down next to Kevin.
"Hey, sweetie. I missed you. Where were you?" he asked, and for the first time, I noticed that his concern was only a mask.
I looked him in the eyes and said coldly, "Kai told me what you said."
He masked his fear pretty well, but I still saw it. "And what did I say?"
"You know what you said. And you know that's why he knocked you unconscious."
He still looked confused. "I don't know what you're talking about -"
"Yes you do. Stop lying to me and tell the truth," I snapped.
He sighed. "I guess I have some explaining to do..."
"Oh, you bet your sorry ass you do."
"Ok, I'll start from the beginning." Where else would you start? "Lord Garmadon making me human ruined my life. All I wanted to do was ruin his. That's why I asked you out in the first place. But," he added quickly, seeing me about to protest, "I quickly realized I was in love with you. I only told that to Kai because even thought I'm a human now, there is still an evil inside of me. The evil part of me just wanted to make him angry. But when I'm with you, that all changes. I feel more alive than ever when we're together. I don't want to lose you. That's why I bought the ring. Speaking of which..."
Then he did the unthinkable. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box, while going down on one knee and grabbing my hand. My eyes went wide. "Julia Elizabeth Delucci, will you marry me?"
Ohhhhh no. Shit is goin down fast. Is Kevin lying again? Should Julia trust him? WILL SHE SAY YES?
Kru: THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING MEEEE!
It's ok, Kru. You won't die yet.
Kru: YET?!
Hahaha just messing with ya. Don't forget to review everybodyyyy! :)
