Chapter One
Jianna
“How can you do this to me?” I scream to myself, desperately trying to erase the pain.
If someone had told me that I was going to have my heart broken by someone who cared about me the most, I would have called them a liar. I wouldn’t have even been able to look at them and I would have called them an asshole for even speaking that way. I know how I felt, and I knew how I was going to let things happen. I couldn’t believe how cold and cruel someone could be, making me think that maybe something was going to end up happening if I ended up doing something like that.
I had been with Christopher for about two years, planning our future together. I honestly thought that he felt the same way but imagine my surprise when he ended up breaking up with me out of the blue. I had demanded answers, desperate to find something that was going to make me understand what was happening, but he wouldn’t give me anything. He just told me that this was what was best for me, and I needed to just let it go because he’s not going to accept me into his life anymore.
He told me that we would be able to be friends, but I couldn’t be close to him like that. I couldn’t allow him to be a part of my life. I couldn’t open my heart up to him in a way that wasn’t due to love, and I ended up crying my heart out when he was staring at me like I had just grown a second head. I hated him for it because he honestly didn’t seem like he cared how I felt at that moment. He didn’t care if I was going to be alright. He just tossed me away.
So, I disappeared out of his life.
I heard from my parents that he had looked for me and was hurt that I left without saying anything. I don’t know how he had a right to be hurt after what he did to me, but I held my tongue, and I didn’t say a damn word. I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing what’s going through my head right now. I very much care about Christopher but I needed to get away to be happy. I needed to figure out where to go, curious to see what might end up happening.
Running my fingers through my hair, feeling a bit nervous as I keep thinking about what I’m going to do next. I’m finally coming home, a moment that I never thought would be possible. I have been feeling more and more nervous because I know that it’s possible that I’m going to see Christopher again. I told my parents not to let him go but I couldn’t be a hundred percent certain if they were going to listen to me.
Mom kept trying to tell me that Christopher was dealing with a lot and that I should give him a second chance, but I couldn’t allow that to happen. I couldn’t even think about it. I didn’t want to even imagine how he might be feeling or what might be going through his head, but I did know that I wasn’t going to allow him to ruin my life again with his lies. I told my parents this and I hope that they relayed the message, so he won’t be there.
I don’t need it.
I’m standing outside the cabin, wondering how I’m going to go inside. I had run away from this place, thinking that I would be safe elsewhere, but I should have known it wouldn’t be so easy. I know that Christopher might have felt the same way, but I didn’t understand what his problem was. He should have just told me if something was happening. He didn’t need to hurt me like he did.
The minute I open the door though, I am immediately swept into very muscular arms into a broad chest. I immediately recognized the cologne, my body going incredibly tense because I couldn’t believe that he was here. I let him hug me, trying to not be rude but I couldn’t believe that my parents went against my wishes. I want to be pissed at them but I’m sure that Christopher had something to do with this.
He pulls away from me, a gentle smile on his handsome face. He has really filled out and I don’t even know what to say or do. I don’t know what I want, and I don’t know how to trust him. But when I glance behind him, I see someone that I didn’t expect. I don’t recognize this person who is obviously an alien. He is really tall, towering over everyone, with short curly black hair and piercing violet eyes. He has unnaturally golden skin with blue markings, his body covered in scars that were no doubt battle wounds. The way he is looking at me though, it makes me a bit nervous.
Just who is he? Why is he making me feel really weird?
I don’t know but I’m not sure if I want to find out. I look at Christopher and I wish that he would have just never showed up.
“I don’t know why you are here, Christopher.” I grumble, walking away from him, “But you should have known that I wouldn’t want to see you… Not after what you did.”
His expression tightens, “I’m sorry, Jianna, I have a lot to make up for, but I can promise you that I did it for a reason. I’m sorry that it happened this way.”
I don’t care if he is sorry or not, I just need to know what is happening. But how can I ask myself that because I’m not sure.
Chapter Two
Elio
She’s mine, I do not care.
When I was just a young boy, I was left behind by my biological family because I was different. I didn’t have their colors and I was not strong. I was nothing like them. I couldn’t withstand the brutal nature of the planet that we were on. It makes me a bit sick to my stomach to even remember back then when I was starving, awaiting my death because it was honestly the only thing that I could think about. I kept going back and forth in my head about it, trying to decide what to do but I couldn’t be completely certain about that at all. I run my fingers through my hair, knowing what is going to happen in a few minutes.
Christopher is my brother, his parents having found me and took me in. He has always treated me well even though we were not related, and I honestly wasn’t sure how this was going to go. I know that Christopher has been pining for his lover to come back home but I don’t know why he is so bent out of shape about her. It’s pretty obvious that he broke up with her and he didn’t know what to make of it. I kept trying to ask myself what could be done at that moment. I hate how this has happened, asking myself what to do from there.
My heart is racing in my chest for an odd reason as well. I had never met his first love because I had to be sent to a special school for training since I wasn’t human. It was kind of dumb, but I learned how to be a strong warrior and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. It was perfect how I felt about it and I made sure that no one has ever stood in my way. I’m not a perfect person when it comes down to it, but I know that Christopher must really like this woman.
I don’t know much when it comes to relationships. I’d like to think that there is more to it, but I couldn’t be certain about that. I know for a fact that I have never loved anyone, and I don’t think that I ever will. I don’t see the need to be in a relationship with anyone due to the fact of what I have gone through. It has become pretty obvious some things that have happened, but I just don’t know if there is ever going to be anything for me.
Running my fingers through my hair, I glance over at Christopher as he is standing by the door. I know she must be here by the nervous look on his face but the minute the door opens, he swoops her into his arms. I don’t get a good look at her, curious to see what she looks like but I’m a patient man. When he finally let’s go, I get a good look at her, and it is honestly like a punch to the gut.
Oh wow, she is beautiful.
She is much shorter than Christopher so I’m sure she would look very small compared to me. She’s wearing slightly baggy clothing but even I can see that she has curves for days. Her long, curly brown hair falls down to her waist and she has pretty brown eyes. Her features are soft and delicate, looking like she would be perfect carrying my marks on her body. I want to make her mine…
I don’t know why I am feeling the immediate connection, but I just know that I need her. It makes me nervous to think that she might actually want her, but it is pretty obvious to me that she doesn’t feel the same way anymore. I feel really happy about that though because that means no one is going to stand in my way and I’m going to have to make sure that she never goes back to him…
