Chapter 18
A/N: So, um this is just a Dexy POV. Ok, I'm going to warn you, if you don't want to cry, then I recommend skipping this chapter, even though you shouldn't skip it because it's vital to the story, but I don't want any of my readers to suffer heartbreak, soooo yeah. I'm not even gonna say, "Enjoy the story" this time.
Sophie gasped and Keefe tried to hug her, but Sophie pushed away Keefe and hugged Dex. Dex could hear her ragged breathing and her soft hair on his shoulder as she hugged him.
"How?" she whispered.
Dex took a deep long breath, and whispered, his voice shaky and quiet, so that you could barely hear it. But the room was quiet enough.
"When you were unconscious and getting healed by Elwin, Fitz kinda woke up and we put him in a room and he seemed to forget what he did but, his eyes turned weird and he used telekinesis to slam my mom into the wall until she was bleeding and she died."
His voice cracked as he said the last word and he curled up into a ball. Tears poured out of his eyes and he looked as though the pain was unbearable.
And it was.
Someone touched his shoulder, and he looked up to see Biana staring at him with those beautiful teal eyes.
"I'm sorry."
Dex nodded and whispered, "Thank you."
Biana laid down next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. Biana hugged him harder and they both cried together.
When she let go she whispered in his ear, "Don't worry Dex, your mom's story will be forever remembered. We'll help you get through this."
No one but Dex heard what she said and that comforted him a little bit. At least he had his friends. Especially Biana.
Sophie and Keefe quietly left the room so that Biana and Dex could have some alone time. Together.
Once the door closed, Dex immediately broke out in another series of muffled sobs. Biana rested her head on his shoulder and let him cry for another minute. Then she straightened up and squeezed Dex's hands reassuringly.
It must have helped a little bit because Dex leaned against Biana for support and looked into her glassy eyes. Eyes that were glistening with unshed tears.
She couldn't stand seeing Dex like this.
And Dex couldn't stand seeing her like this either.
But, he couldn't help it.
His face was streaked with watery marks and fat droplets of water still running down his cheeks and neck.
Biana looked away and closed her eyes. Then she turned back and used her hand to dry his tears. But they kept coming.
And coming. And coming. On and on and on.
Dex leaned into Biana's hand as she cupped his cheek.
He mumbled, "I don't know what to do, Biana."
Biana stared into his eyes with an intensity that actually frightened Dex for a moment. Then it faded into... sorrow? Anguish? Distress? Pain?
But she leaned in and said, "Then don't do anything. Sleep. Don't dream. Stay there until it gets better. It will. Kesler, Bex, Lex, and Rex will help you. And I will. So will Sophie. And Keefe. And Linh and Tam. And Wylie. And Marella and Maruca. See? You have a lot of supporters. So go now. Go to sleep, Dex."
Dex obeyed her and laid down on the cold stone floor. But it wasn't colder than the vengeance that burned deep inside his heart. He would avenge Juline's death. And he would do it soon. He would hunt down every siren and kill them all. NO MATTER WHAT.
So when he drifted of into his dreamless sleep world, he felt ok. Because he had a plan. And it was going to work. It had to. Otherwise, he would never be the same.
A/N: Soooo, are you crying now? If you are, I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so SORRY.
