Stupid Town And No Trust
Well this town is a waste of time...there is nobody who will or wants to help us. That ticks me off so much.“Well lookie there little miss hypocrite” says Anger
“Shut up. You have no right to speak to me…you are an insane monster that wanted to kill somebody new.” I shoot back
“Hey are you okay Echo?” I hear Xander ask
“Yeah just arguing with anger...sorry” I reply blushing
“It’s nothing. Why do you blush when I ask you a question about your voices?”
“Um...Well because of what they say...Especially the light emotions...well it’s kinda hard to explain…” I stutter.
“Why? Do they talk about me a lot?” He asks
“Sometimes…” I look around and see a truck sitting on the side of the road. “Do you know how to drive?”
“Um yes...I was taught by the doctors because they knew that I would escape. Actually they wanted to see how far I would get before they caught me…”
I smile and say “good now we can get even further. I hope you don’t get us killed though”
Then I think about what he said…what if this was just to see how far we would get? What happens if we don’t want to go back? What if he is helping them just get me back? I frown as I think about how rude he was at first. What if when I had blacked out he told those guys about how he was just testing his abilities and then looked at me smirking? How will I know?
“Well you can manipulate him dearie. He seems to think you’re adorable and not capable of using him and being a horrible person. I think he has a crush on you Echo.” Insanity whispers
I blush and stop to breathe. I can’t believe you guys think that he could have a crush on me.
“Echo are you okay? Why did you stop? Are you hurt?” Xander asks.
“No no I’m just tired. Don’t worry.” I reply
Great you guys are right...he does have a crush on me...What do I do?
“Don’t worry dearie. You can handle this. Just find somewhere to rest.” Anger says
“Of course we can.” He replies and scoops me up and carries to an abandoned house. I look around and smile.
“Thank you” I say blushing as he puts me down.
“No problem my dear” He replies.
I look around and see a door to a different room. As I walk through it I stop and look around. It doesn’t look so abandoned. It has everything a person could need to survive here and stay. I whip around to see Xander smirking.
“What is this place?” I ask
“It was my safe place when I ran away”
“I see...how do you know that this place is safe if they caught you?”
“Well I got caught because I was stupid and didn’t pay attention to my surroundings.”
“I see…” I don’t know if I can trust him...I want to I want him to trust me too...But I don’t know what to do.
“Do you not trust me?” he asks
“I-I don’t know” I say and look down
“Well then we understand each other. I don’t trust you and vice versa.”
I feel ashamed. I know I should trust him but I can’t. I don’t know how to trust him or anybody else. I hate myself for it yes but I don’t understand why I do.
“I-I want to trust you Xander. But I don’t know how.” I say sadly
He reaches forward and touches my face. “I know. I know and you are beautiful for trying. We can learn to trust each other together.”
I freeze, not sure of what was happening. I look down nodding and say “Can I go to bed? I’m so tired.”
“Yes I’ll carry you to the room you can stay at.” He replies
When he lays me in my bed, I look up at him worried that he would want to stay in my bed with me. “I guess I’ll go make some food for when you awake.” With that he leaves and I am alone once more.
Then I fall into a deep fitful sleep.
