final
I set myself up which didn't take too long and I still had a few hours before I had to leave for work. It was further away but I really didn't mind. I spent my time just thinking about what had gone over the last few months and tried putting together the pieces but it was a hopeless situation. After an hour of that I started getting ready for work. As soon as I got dressed there was a knock at the door.
I was surprised when I saw Marius standing there. I invited him in the started to put my make-up on. I really wasn't in the mood to talk to Marius and he could read my mind anyway so I acted like he wasn't there at all. It was a lot easier that way and I didn't care about what he had to say. He was probably here defending Falcon again and to take the blame like how he did when I was used as bait
.
"I'm sorry Selene, for Falcon's actions and taking them out on you. I don't know what's been going on with him recently." Before he could finish I cut him off.
"I thought that you could read mind's Marius so shouldn't you know."
"He learnt a long time ago how to block his thoughts from others. I tried talking to him after I found out what happened. I know it didn't take that long but that's because I've made sure to keep myself connected to your thoughts to keep you safe."
"Well that's a bit creepy." I said and Marius just laughed.
"I did it for Falcon, he asked me to but I don't know what has changed. There was a time where he cared about you but recently he's done everything to go against his original actions. You can still leave if you wish, I will help you with that but you should at least have a peaceful conversation with him. I will be there to keep his temper under control but you both need to talk this out instead of leaving it how it is."
"You do realise that it would be easier if we did though. I finish my last 2 weeks then get the hell out of here. I'm grateful for your concern but what's done is done and nothing can be done to change that. I'm sorry Marius but it's for the best." Those words stung even me, I cared and loved Falcon but he had hurt me in so many ways. I wasn't going to give him the chance to do it again.
"I understand but just know that if you need me just call out and I'll come running. I promise. Let's put that to the side, I'm here to take you to work and will be till your final night." He smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.
My heart was heavy with guilt and remorse for the next 2 weeks. I still hadn't spoken to Falcon but what could I say. So I did what I had to and that was finish my last 2 weeks and save up. Everything was going well until the final night. I was called in to Falcon's office and he ranted and raved at me over absolutely nothing.
"I am still so angry with you Selene for getting on that stage. Did you think that would get you attention? Did you think that I would all of a sudden come running to you? You are a naïve little girl and I don't know why I even bothered with you. I thought that you were different but I guess I was wrong." He stopped to take a breath then kept going. "I'm happy that you are leaving at least I wouldn't have to keep saving your ass. You've caused me a lot of trouble and a lot of money."
Halfway through his bitch fit I spoke up. "Why the fuck are you so angry for? I don't get what the fuck changed in you Falcon but I'm leaving because it's what you wanted and like I said I got on that stage to help your business out. It had nothing to do with trying to get your attention and I don't know what I have done wrong, so could you please at least tell me that. Soon I'll be leaving and I'll be out of your life for good and the only person you should be angry with is yourself. You are yelling at me when I have no idea what I've done wrong. So you can fuck off, let me finish my last night in peace then I'll be gone for good. I promise you that."
He seemed taken aback by this but I didn't care. He had caused this and he didn't care in the first place. I stormed out of his office and slammed the door behind me before he could say anything. I was so angry that I went out for a smoke. I went out on my own because I really didn't want anyone asking questions but I knew the bouncer was looking out for me so I felt safe enough.
After I had finished my smoke, I went back inside and got back to work. While doing my rounds with the customer's drinks when one of them decided to grab my ass and hard to which hurt a little and is against the rules. And because I was still fuming with Falcon, I slapped his hand away and then realised my mistake. I quickly tried to apologise but it was too late for that.
Next thing I knew he had grabbed me by the throat, slammed me against the wall, cracking a couple of my ribs and he was trying to kill me. He punched me straight up in to the ribs a few times, cracking a few more ribs. I couldn't breathe and it got to the point where I couldn't move. Could see Marius coming over but before he got there I had been thrown across the room hitting a pillar hard.
This time I was sure that I was going to die. I was struggling get my breath back and I kept slipping in and out of consciousness. I could hear yelling and screaming but Falcon hadn't come to get me did he really not care any more that he would leave me to die. I wanted to know what had changed in him but I knew that I would never get the chance to find out.
In the distance I knew that Marius was fighting of the vampire who attacked me. He was going all out and people were screaming. I wanted him to stop defending me. I wanted all of this to be a bad dream. I had become such a nuisance for Marius and Falcon and I guess that's why Falcon now hates me. I had caused so much trouble that I wish I would hurry up and die.
Just before I completely faded in to the darkness of the world, one of the dancers came up and bent down, whispering in my ear, "now you know how it feels to be cast aside. I told Falcon that you and Marius were doing it behind his back and he believed me. Now you will die alone." She laughed then walked off. I couldn't believe what she had told me and then finally, my world went black.
I started coming in and out of consciousness until I was finally aware of what was going on. I was sure that I was going to die but here I was lying on Falcon's couch in his office listening to the two of them argue. I wanted to get up and tell them both to cut it out. After what that dancer had told me I knew why Falcon was angry at me and had shut Marius out. I was furious with him for not talking to us but in a way I also understood.
"So what, you're just going to let her die, someone that you actually love, because some whore told you a rumour. I thought you were smarter than that Falcon but I guess I was wrong." The anger was clear in Marius' voice. "Why didn't you talk to us, or at least me? Selene has been kicking herself not knowing what's been going on with you and you just shut her out, and then yelled at her for doing you a favour."
"So you didn't sleep with her behind my back?" Falcon asked slightly confused.
I heard this smack then Marius yelling again. "The only time I slept with her was with you. You are such an idiot. You don't deserve her at all and the one time that she needed you, what did you do Falcon?"
Falcon stood there dumbfounded until Marius yelled at him again. "What did you do Falcon, while Selene was getting attacked?"
He finally answered, though his answer was barely audible, "I just stood here and watched."
"That's right you stood here and watched. You are unbelievable. So what's the next move, we leave her the way that she is and let her die a slow and painful death. Within 3 days her bones will give out, within 5 her lungs will collapse and within 7 days her heart will stop beating and she will be dead. Is that what you want?"
"No of course not but you can't expect me to give her the life that we live. It's not a fair choice."
"Then kill her now and put her out of her misery. It's what she wants anyway. So those are your options. Make the right choice for once in your life little bro."
