The Defiance novel

---- Diego's words cracked up a bit. This also hurt him. "People always say that. I've read this many times, I've watched it on the movies and it irritates me. Characters saying it's not their story to tell but hearing this from you and this is the real life we're talking about feels like shit", I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. I sensed Diego moved from beside me. "Here", he handed me the tissue but I shook my head and kept on wiping my tears even though they weren't stopping .

My eyes hurt from all the crying and my body started to get exhausted. "?'m really sorry, A", I didn't know that apologies could thud devastatingly against my ears. I dared to take a glance at Dean. I couldn't lose him. "T can't lose him, Diego" "And you won't. Trust me", he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into him. We stayed like that for minutes not until someone grabbed my arm and hauled me standing. It surprised me that I didn't have any time to react.

I was dragged all the way out of the room. To the hallways where people glanced out way like they were watching some drama show on TV. I almost tripped on the tiled floor because we were walking too fast. "Fuck! Let go!", I pulled my arm but he tugged. Of ---- course it was Seth. His strides were long but he was walking so manly and having the shorter legs, I was almost running to keep up to him and because he was dragging me.

We turned several corners until he kicked the metal door open, yanking me up some stairs and it was hurting my legs. "What the hell are doing!", I tugged even more. Harder but he was way stronger. He finally stopped at the empty fire exit. He faced me wearing a stormy eyes and dark face. I swallowed hard. Took some steps back. "Let's talk", he said. The finality he proposed was calm but I felt afraid of him. He appeared to be a different man. A different person I didn't know of.

His eyes were different , too. And I didn't recognize this version of him. "A-About what?" "About things. Ask away. I'll give you answers" This got me nervous. I licked my lips and his stare shifted from my face to it. His eye balls followed the movement I made with my tongue. Then it traced back to my own. It burned another set of freezing fire. "O-Okay", I breathed deeply, "I want to know- " "But promise me that I will get answers from you, too.

And I will get the chance to explain myself to ---- you", he cut me off. "Explain about what?" "Why I left", my knees wobbled. Why would he want to talk about it now? It was way too late. "No.", I gritted my teeth. "Then I won't answer anything" "Tl ask Dean" "He will not speak about it" "He will" "No, he won't. I tell him what to do and he has no choice but to follow" "What?" "Believe me when I say I will have the answers you want. I will be the only one" We stared at each other.

This Seth was someone who would want to get what he wants. In any way he could. He was blackmailing me. "Why now?", I asked and his jaw moved. He stepped closer but stopped after he took two. He shrugged not answering my question. Dean's figure and state flashed across my mind. "Okay", I said and he smirked triumphantly.
