Chapter~43

IRIS

I didn't know when I started crying. My heart ached a lot at the thought of almost losing Finn. The state I saw him in was maddening and it took me a lot of courage to be able to stand before him. I didn't want to be scared of him even though my legs were shaking.

How did he get there? He was such a nice guy but yet, he had so much to take care of him. He could easily lose his life. It was a scary thing and I couldn't help but ponder on it.

I didn't go back to school. I just went back to my apartment and sat down on the floor, resting my back on the bed frame.

Why was the moon goddess mean to good people? Why does evil thrive but good struggle? Why can't she just take the life of those who threaten others?

I lay down on the floor and shut my eyes. I just wanted all the pains to just vanish.

I felt my body being lifted up and placed on a soft surface. I moaned when I felt his touch pulling my hair away from my face.

I opened my eyes to meet Finn's eyes staring at me.
