A breakthrough
*outside Blue's residence*
Ivan Maverick
Is everything okay ?
Blue Wills
Yes, everything is good. I hope I didn't disturb you, did I ?
Ivan Maverick
You didn't. You just made me a little worried.
Blue Wills
I am sorry about that.
Blue Wills
Please come in.
Ivan Maverick
*nods*
After you
*inside Blue's residence*
Ivan Maverick
So what is it that you wanted to talk about ?
Blue Wills
If I ask you something, would you please not lie ? I just want to know the truth.
Ivan Maverick
I can't make any prior promise, but I would rather keep quiet than to lie to you.
Blue Wills
I know you have strong connections, and you are a powerful man, so you must have known everything that's going on in Evergreen City right now.
Blue Wills
Can you tell me if what you were hinting at yesterday is the truth ?
Ivan Maverick
I guess you have figured out the answer by now since you requested my presence out of the ordinary and just want my confirmation. Or is it that your heart refuses to believe what your brain has already figured out ?
Blue Wills
*stunned*
Can you tell me what's going on there ?
Ivan Maverick
You are about to be cremated, tomorrow.
Blue Wills
*stunned*
What ? What are you saying ?
Ivan Maverick
All thanks to your so-called sister, Daisy. Her mother, Miss Olivia would not have left a single stone unturned if she knew that you were missing, so your so-called sister found a similar unidentified dead body as your substitute. The rest, you can figure it out yourself, right ?
Blue Wills
What about my teachers ?
Ivan Maverick
They had to accept the truth that was presented to them. Do you think they have any other choice ?
Blue Wills
*concerned*
And my friends ? Are they okay ?
Ivan Maverick
Miss Anji was rusticated because she knocked over Daisy. She was beaten into a pulp. And Mr. Winson, he was caught in an argument with a few of your classmates.
Blue Wills
*teary eyed*
Even Avin ?
Ivan Maverick
*nods*
Well to be honest, you have got a few good friends.
Ivan Maverick
*mutters*
Daisy is still halfway there to get what she deserves though. She will pay the price.
Blue Wills
Then why do you think she did that ? She can't do that, right ? Even though I am an year older than her, we basically grew up together, I took her as my own sister, we slept, ate and went to school together and whenever she was scared, I would hold her in my arms.
*looks at Ivan*
She wouldn't do this to me ?
Ivan Maverick
*clenches his fist*
You can't always expect people to always treat you the way you treat them, Miss Blue. There's not always loyalty for loyalty, love for love, its sometimes betrayal that come with it.
Blue Wills
*burst out in tears*
But why ? Even a stranger like you treats me better when we barely know each other, so why ? What did I do to deserve this ?
Ivan Maverick
*rushes to hug Blue but stops*
You did nothing. It's just that fate didn't treat you fairly.
Blue Wills
But why me? Wasn't losing my parents enough ? I never got to feel my mother's warmth, my father left me a few years later, all alone in this world. Wasn't I suffering enough already that I had to go through betrayal and that too by the person I held my closest to ?
Ivan Maverick
Betrayal never comes from outside, Miss.
Blue falls to the ground, clasping her knees with shivering hands curled up like a ball, crying with all the strength she had left after accepting such a harsh truth. No one could imagine how much she was suffering. She was mentally drained from all the past events.
Ivan decided to squat down and hug Blue, the hug that she would get if her family was still alive
Ivan hugs Blue tightly and Blue hugs him back
Ivan sat there holding Blue, a part of his shirt wet from her tears. He held her for as long as he could remember and when she fell asleep in his arms, he held her up, carried her to the bedroom, laid her and covered her with a quilt
Ivan Maverick
I hope you can let it all go and have a fresh start. It won't be easy but this time I will be with you and I will make sure that fate treats you the way you deserve to be treated or even better.
Ivan Maverick
I missed you, angel.
