Chapter 81 - THE TWINS

She felt so much pain as she cried that she was hurt. It was not about the injuries on her feet or about the pain that she felt when Jasmine told her that she was a burden, it was beyond those or maybe it was the few hurtful things that accumulated in her heart and sent her emotions haywire.

"It hurts… it really hurts…" Lise cried, she wailed in pain and couldn't control herself. She was trembling and had difficulty breathing, while Sol sat next to her and tried to console her. "I feel so much hurt…" she said between her sobs.

On the other hand, Sol hugged her even tighter, trying to keep her together, she was broken and he wanted to pick all the pieces that pained her, yet it was not enough. He was afraid that she would break even further.

"I know it hurts… I know and I am sorry…" Sol said. His voice was very gentle, but there were a lot of emotions that he felt for Lise now. He wanted to do a thousand things to make her feel just a bit better. He was willing to do anything for her, as long as she could be a little bit happier, but none of that could stop her from feeling the pain.

Sol loved her more than anything and he just realized it now, when her pain became his as well.

"Let me heal you… please let me stay by your side and fix this…" Sol whispered to her and a lot of things that he thought he could offer to her. "I love you Lise… I love you…"

Yet, the words only made Lise even more hysterical, since she knew how broken she was while Sol deserved better. She couldn't control herself, as she was having a mental breakdown now.

However, one thing was for sure, if all of this craziness didn't happen and they were only a normal childhood friend, his feelings would have been mutual…

But now, Lise couldn't say what she felt.

=================== 

"It will hurt a little bit," Sol told Lise when he was about to clean up her bleeding feet with alcohol before he could bandage it. He lifted his head and stared at Lise, but she didn't even flinch when he started to clean her feet.

She looked like she was dying inside.

Not only that, Lise didn't even give any reaction when Sol applied ointment to her wounds before he bandaged them, even though he himself would at least grimace at the pain, since they didn't look like light injuries.

Sol wanted to take her to the hospital, but Lise simply refused it. She didn't want to go to the hospital. She didn't want to go anywhere out of this room, except if Sol wanted to take her away, far, far away from all of this and left everything behind.

But, Sol couldn't do that just yet. He would love to do it, but he couldn't do that for now, he had to make sure that the organization wouldn't chase them down for doing so.

Running away from Gael McKeltar was one thing, but he knew the capability of his own family and the other members of the organization when they wanted to make someone as their priority. It would only be a matter of time before they could be caught.

Therefore, he wanted to prepare everything first before he could take Lise away. He had to make sure that no one would follow them.

"Do you want to eat something?" Sol asked Lise when he was done with her feet and laid her back on the bed. She just gazed at the night sky through the window.

"No," she replied.

"Okay." Sol understood.

He thought Lise needed some time for herself, therefore he was about to go out of the room when Lise spoke softly with her back facing him.

"Can you stay?" Her voice was almost like a whisper and Sol nearly missed it. "I don't want to be alone."

"Sure…" Sol agreed. "I will just take a broom to clean up the shards and I will stay with you."

"Thank you."

==================== 

July couldn't come to see Knox often because of her position as the daughter of Archie Williams, who was none other than the leader of the organization, though it was very clear that she didn't choose the same path that her other siblings took and caused her to be disowned by her own father, but it didn't erase the fact that she was still a Williams.

It was very rare for July to go home because she didn't want to meet her father, though she had been disowned, but she was still welcomed whenever she wanted to come, it was only her father who didn't want to admit her as his daughter anymore.

"What are you doing here?"

The first person that July saw as soon as she stepped into Williams' residence was her twin sister and she cursed her luck for it.

"Why? This is my house too," she said lightly, as she entered the house.

"Are you playing dumb? Father no longer sees you as his child, don't make me laugh."

"I don't see you laugh," July said snidely, she tossed her long hair from her shoulder and arrogantly asked about Sol. "Where is my brother?"

Jasmine raised an eyebrow when she heard that. "Why? Do you want to take him and his girlfriend out of this house? Sure, do it please, the girl only makes my eyes sore."

"Then close your eyes, there is no one who wants to admire the way you see people." July cursed the very fact that they were twins, since she couldn't brag that she was more beautiful than her or attack her physically. It was childish, she knew, but she was sure Jasmine would have done that if she didn't have the same reasons as hers.
