Lecture Of Goodbyes #5

Alex awakes to see a man talking about him, and the dangers alysiah Put herself in. Alex then lends a shoulder for Alysia letting her relieve some stress

“D****t, how’d you possibly screw up that badly!? You had ONE job, and you come back with some random person, Alysia it could have killed you to transport three  people in that state, Are you even listening!” A man spoke harshly, He had green hair and green daggers hanging from his side.

“I expect more from you two, I really do. When he awakes we’re sending him home. End Of STORY!” he knocked a glass on his way out of the room. After hearing the conversation, I knew something happened. I opened my eyes. Seeing the girls sitting on the corner of a bed, Alysia fell back landing on her back moaning

“Why, Why did you think he’s a spy?” Alysia grunted again.

Liveanvi just stared at the floor, “Why else would the demons show up.”  She exclaimed with the doubt creeping up her throat she knew she had been wronged, but her pride wouldn’t give up. They looked at me and noticed I was up. So I decided I’d do the one thing they’d least expected, I winked. Alysia broke down laughing, and liveanvi sighed leaving the room. Alysia knew why, and she laid back down sighing.

“Alex… I’m sorry I wasn’t as serious as I should have been, If we just left and kept moving like we were supposed to it would have never happened. I just wanted you to know. I didn’t want this to happen, Damnit I’m 15 and I’m out here fighting demons, I just want to go home…”

This was a whole different side then I’ve seen from her. I didn’t know what to say or how to say it. I just wanted to say something. Before I even had the chance to respond, I did something that has been recurring in the past few days. I said it before I realized.  

“Alysia, I care about you, I’ve barely known you and you’re all I can think about, I think I realize how you feel. The cheery girl I first met, that was you trying to be a kid. Hell I’m still a kid, I understand. The desire to go home and live a normal life is tempting, but that’s not an option for me. I’m drawn here, there is something I have to do. For the courage to do it, does not come from me. Yet comes from watching a woman, that’s more brave then I could ever be. She fights her problems head on, and still has the fight in her to make others happy. You’re amazing, you make mistakes but who doesn’t. In short I’m glad you’re here. It makes it… easier for me.” I felt as if saying that could fix the world's problems, I knew it wouldn’t but It felt amazing nonetheless. She started at me, As if to tell me that I’m stupid, but she always is full of surprises, She cried. The person I thought was fearless, and brave cried, just started crying. She walked to me, grabbing me in her arms, and hugged me. Leaning into my shoulders she cried. The stress of years of work, and a responsibility to great to carry alone. She let it out. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder, not knowing how much more I can do.

“Why, why me? I don’t want this responsibility, I don’t want people weighing on me, telling me how important I am. I want to go home, and be normal. What I’d pay to go to school. Instead I’m here, getting lectured. I’m the least qualified person for this, so why me?” She said in intervals as she continued to cry. After a few minutes, she fell asleep, Lying down next to Alex who started at the ceiling wondering the exact same thing. Why him?
