Chapter 204 - She Snapped - II
She walked out of the room slamming the door behind her and had her chest puffed out. She felt powerful and empowered!
She almost reached the stairs before a certain pull came and she was not against the wall.
??She hissed in pain as he glared down at her.
"You think you can talk to me like that?" He ground slightly and added in felt herself your pick up.
She gulped.
"You might be my life source because I met you, Adeline, but do not underestimate my power. There are so many things that I can do to hurt you without physically bullying you." He warned as he glared at her.
"What more?" She whispered because at the closeness the had it was obvious that he could hear her. "How much more hurt do I have to go through before everyone would understand that I can break?"
"I just want the world to understand Xavier, that I cannot bend every time. There is going to be a time before I am going to snap and break into two halves." She whispered and sniffed at the end. "Please."
He stared down at her. Her tearful eyes were enough for him to soften his heart but the 7 months that they had spent a part had been enough for him to harden.
The seven months that I had to spend apart from his made enough to crack his heart into two but before long it had turned into stone. His beast knew that he could not meet her so they both accepted the reality and now did not want to. . .feel the pain again.
"Go," he pushed himself off the wall and stepped back, maintaining a good distance in between, "Go Adeline."
Her bottom lip trembled at the word she just heard from him. She did not want to go! She did not want that. "No . ." She whispered but he shook his head.
" Go," he said again, "I do not want to be something that I cannot be held responsible for."
She did not understand what that meant. But looking at him once more she looked away and started walking down the stairs. Her heart seems to get heavier at every step she took away from him but she did not turn around for him. If she turned around once, Adaline knew that she wouldn't be able to turn back.
It hurt. So much.
She found Elizabeth waiting for her at the stairs two floors below where this class was supposed to be. Instead of asking out what was wrong Elizabeth grabbed her hand and took her somewhere else. It was a broom closet.
"Cry baby," Beth pulled Adeline close, "broom closets are usually soundproof so try as much as you want."
Adeline's lip trembled and she was on the verge of crying but then it all stop. Her expressions cleared away and she wiped her tears.
"How long am I going to try for Elizabeth?" She sniffed and looked at her friend, "I am so tired of just crying and being able to do nothing."
Elizabeth stayed at her place with the expression mixed with sympathy and pretty. Frankly speaking she did not know how to react to Adeline because she could not place herself in a situation like that.
"What do you want me to do? Why don't you start with that." She offered instead. "They must be something that you can think of. As a new beginning?"
Adeline looked away but there was not much to look at. She started at the door as she thought about it.
She could cut her hair to a really short height and start anew or she could dye her hair. She could always start a new work out run that would take her nowhere.
What could she do?
But she came to the exact same spot where she had been earlier. She wanted to do something about that and maybe it was finally time to give it a go.
If Jenna was one of the first feminists in this world then Adaline as her granddaughter had to step up her game too.
"Can we go back home?"
Elizabeth frowned, "For what? Within reason we can."
Adiline grinned sneakily at her friend before taking her skirt and clearing it in half. "Oops. Got to go."
******
"I must say," Jenna walked into her room as She watched Adaline scroll through her closet, "I knew that you would understand what I meant in the morning but this was not what I had in mind about what you would do."
Adeline grinned at her as she glanced. "Times change." She offered and Jenna tilted her head before giving her a weird and outrageous look.
"A really? Times change?" She repeated as outraged by what Adeline had provided as an explanation. "Young lady, that is no explanation for coming home in between school hours and trying to change your clothes into—that! No!" She growled at the choice of clothing.
Adeline had chosen an address that showed off her generous breasts and hugged her snugly at the waist. It also ended up in her mid-thighs.
"What in the world is that? Never mind how much does discovers he would freeze in this way they're wearing that!" Jenna pointed to the offensive piece of clothing. "What would your aunt say?"
Adeline pouted as she shook her head. "Ohh, you don't want to know."
"Well, honestly," Tessa leaned over the frame of the door as she made everyone aware of her presence, "I would say you could go higher Adeline but it's the comfort level for everyone."
Jenna guest and looked back and forth at the two. " What?" She spat. "Young woman, that is no way for us to behave. Many things can be done without having the attention of a boy like that!"
Tessa closed the door and jumped on the bed. Adeline joined her aunt on the bed and looked at Jenna.
"Go on," they said, "Tell us what you have."
