The Defiance novel

---- Chapter 29: Good Bye "We need to go back!", I shouted at my brother who was busy sweeping the streets with his driving skill and I gathered he had no intention of going back like I've wanted. I was crying, I felt guilty. "Dean, please, we have to go back", I pleaded but he just continued turning the wheels away from there. "T''m sorry, Alice but like I've said, we can't go back. This is the once in a life time incident where we can leave that place unscathed" "B-But Sev, he's there.

We can't just leave him there" The car was slowing down but nevertheless traced farther and farther from him. My brother took a side glance at me and I knew he was surprised. "you knew?" he asked. I didn't get it at first but as I recalled what he meant, it was when I voiced out Sev's name. They had been under the impression that I certainly knew nothing about the truth, in which they we all wrong. "Yes..." "since when? How did you know?

What else do you know?", Dean was keeping his eyes on the road but he threw annoyed eyes at me. ---- "Does it really matter? And do you really think I was that stupid not to notice what's really happening ?" He shook his head but I was not sure if that was for disappointment or disbelief or maybe a little bit of both. "Why didn't you say anything? Did Sev know?" My heart ached at hearing name.

For all I could understand on what was happening now, he was doing something stupid, he was letting me go. I shook my head as an answer to my brother. He let out a heavy and soundy breath. Then, in a low voice, he cursed. "He told me to take care of you. I should be explaining everything to you now but that could wait. The main point here is we cannot see him anymore" "What?", my own voice almost went out as an air passing from my lips. My mind seemed to deflect the information said.

And when it slowly went down to my consciousness , my tears began to fall carelessly , my hands shook, terrified of the truth on my brother's words. "Why would he do that?" "As I hated to admit it, he really loves you, Alice. He is afraid of you hating him more. He could plan it all out but he suddenly just gave it all up so you can have your freedom back.

I don't know the exact details of the deal between him and his father but all he said is ---- to make sure you two won't cross paths again" There was a big lump on my throat. My head kept telling me that it was all my fault. 1 blamed him last time and I regretted it. I couldn't imagine how he must have felt when I threw all those words at him. I wiped my tears with my hand letting out a soft whimper. "Can't we do anything ? I want to see him again", I sobbed hiding my face on my hands.

The car made a light screeched when it stopped. "We have to do this. And with your current situation , we can't do much now. I hope you understand this, Alice. We have to move into somewhere, too" I looked at my brother, my sight was blurry and I couldn't breathe normally. "I'm sorry", he said, his eyes were full of sympathy for me. "We need to cut all of our connections with them", he shifted on his seat to reach me. He held my head gently on his large hands and guided it to his chest.

"I know you love him" I could hear my heart breaking on his words. I knew on myself how much I've waited for Sev to come back. I've denied it for so long telling myself I already moved on and I forgot about him, I even didn't remember saying words of love to him, there were so many things on my mind now but I do remember
