Rio blinked at her sudden harshness. "Fiona, I don't know whatyou're scared of, but you're not pushing m and Rash away that easily.
Rio blinked at her sudden harshness. "Fiona, I don't know whatyou're scared of, but you're not pushing m and Rash away that easily.
I'm scared that you'll get cut on my edges and I don't want to hurt anyone else… "I'm not scared! I just don't need help."
"I almost wish I were a telelpath, then maybe I could figure out why you're so scared and help you…" he said regretfully, knowing she was lying to some degree.
"I'm not going to hurt anyone else. I'm not going to let other people's lives come to an end because of me. Not again." Her tone was bitter, like the words themselves were sour in her mouth.
Rio watched her for a moment, "I'm sure whoever it is you hurt, wouldn't want you to keep going like this.."
"I'm not letting anyone else end up like my brother." Her tone was still strong and sour but her eyes were lined with tears. "Not if I can help it. If it means my own isolation, then so be it."
Rio watched her sadly, "I'm sure your brother wouldn't have wanted this…" he said quietly.
"You didn't know him." She snapped. "You don't know what he would've wanted for me." He would trust me to make the right decision…wouldn't he?
"I know that" said Rio..
"And besides, the only way I know you two are safe from the unpredictable mess that is me is if I know you two are as far away as possible so please…just leave me alone…I don't need anyone else getting hurt." She drew back a little, retreating into the hallway.
Rio shook his head. "I'm not going to just leave. I can't.. Not when you're like this…." he said. "I'm not afraid of being hurt. And neither is my twin. So please… let us in…. let us support you… please…"
"I can't. I'm not letting anyone get close to my broken edges because the closer they get, the more likely they are to get cut and I'm not hurting anyone else."
Rio sighed, "I'm not going to just leave you alone." he said. "You won't hurt me that easily.
"I'm just scared…" She wrapped her arms around herself, her gaze dropping to the floor.
Rio took a careful step forward. "What is it that you're afraid of?"
"Everything." Her arms squeezed tighter, like if she held herself tight enough, it'd stop her from coming apart at the seams.
Rio ame up to her, carefully pulling her into a hug.
Her body melted into his touch, desperate for comfort but her mind reeled backward, tugging her out of his grip. "Please…I don't want to hurt you…just leave me alone…"
Rio held onto her gently, "I want to help you. I don't care if I get hurt. I can't just leave you like this."
"But that's the thing, Rio, I do. I care if I hurt you." She pulled out of his grip again. She didn't want to be in his arms for long because then he'd break her resolve and she'd shatter.
Rio frowned when she pulled away. "It hurts more to see you like this…"
"Then leave. If you can see it then it'll hurt less."
"It' hurts more that way…. I can't just leave you when you're hurting."
"I'm always hurting. It's just more noticeable now." She wrapped her arms around herself.
Rio took a hesitant step towards her wanting to wrap her up and never let go. "Please… at least let us be there for you…"
