Arc 2.9

Alaric wakes up and sees Tai sleeping still. His arms are around Tai he smiles he could get used to having Tai in his arms. He doesn't know why he feels so connected to Tai but he doesn't want to let go ever. He decided to just order breakfast and have it dropped off. He sits up and couldn't help but stroke his hair. He knows he ain't supposed to but he can't help it. He turns on the tv to see the news.

"Breaking news the uprising actress Sonya arrested! We are here reporting she is currently being put in the police car! Look the bomb squad has arrived! Whatever she did involves bombs could she possibly be a terrorist?" The reporter explains in the news. Alaric smirks the bitch deserves what she had come.

"Upcoming news reports showed that just as she was arrested three bombs went off! It seems there are no casualties! It would seem they were targeted towards the famous businessman Glen Thompson! Luckily Glen Thompson evacuated his workers because of a gas leak! If he did not act fast the explosion would have killed everyone in the building. However, some workers did get hurt from debris. Glen Thompson promised those who got hurt compensation. As it's his fault for not having enough security!" The reporter states quickly as the news came.

"It would seem Glen really wants her to rot in jail forever," Alaric softly says and looks at Tai.

"It's your turn to be protected I wonder if you could stay by my side? I have no idea why I feel like you won't" Alaric continues softly as he strokes Tai's hair.

Sonya looks around her in a panic how did it go wrong! It was supposed to be Tai! Why is she standing in court! They didn't even give her a day to get ready with the lawyer they immediately started the jury! Only three hours after she was arrested she was put in court. She thought this was impossible.

"Tai did it not me! He did everything! He is the bad guy! He envies me that's why" Sonya screams in anger. Everyone turns to Sonya confused.

"Tai would never you just hate him for exposing your disgusting behavior. And help protect his fellow coworkers as shown in this evidence" Glen states as Savannah comes in with her lawyers. They then proceed to show the video of Sonya attacking a stylist. Savannah saving her and then Tai finally who comes to help them.

"I didn't do any of it! It was a set up caused by Tai!" Sonya says in fear she doesn't want to go to jail! How did things come to this? She clearly planted evidence against Tai! How did they find her place?

"There is no reason that Mr. Tai would attack Mr. Glen. All evidence points you to being the culprit of everything" Glen's lawyer states. Sonya frowns and thinks for a reason.

"Tai envies Mr. Glen and hates the rich that's why" Sonya shouts. Tai watching from afar raised an eyebrow and then looks at Alaric with an amused grin.

"Tai is part of the high class. By law, he is my adopted brother even though we don't tell others. Since Tai wanted to raise his career on his own. He actually owns more shares than I but he doesn't want anything to do with it" Glen says in amusement. He said it cause Tai already had a reputation of being a great actor. Also, the film he is filming with Alaric is probably gonna raise his value as an actor.

"Tai is your brother?" Sonya shouts in shock. Everyone in the room is shocked to find that Tai who climbs his way up in the acting industry. Actually had the backing and actually could reach the top easily if he wanted to.

"Of course he is which is why I know he would never be able to hurt me. He is my brother and best friend he would prefer to put himself in harm's way then let myself be hurt" Glen retorts. Everyone looks at Sonya like she is a clown. Why would Tai ever hurt Glen if all Tai wants to do is act? And also wanted nothing to do with his family business. If Glen died he would need to leave what he loves. It's more like Glen will kill Tai for the shares. The trial came to its end and Sonya was declared Guilty.

"You'll be sentenced a lifetime in jail and no chance of parole. For your acts of terrorism and acts of assault," the judge declares. Sonya cries screaming no over and over again.

Tai looks at her being taken away this world was easy as well. He just had to guide some people and it resolved itself so easily. He barely had to raise a finger. This world was relaxing honestly. But he needs to make sure the heroine dies in jail. Well with a bit of suffering for what she had planned.

"Alaric let's go eat something," Tai asks as he turns to Alaric. Alaric nods in agreement and the two head to go eat. The two made it to a restaurant with private rooms.

"Tai do you love anyone?" Alaric asks out of nowhere. Tai looks up in shock and tilts his head to act like he is thinking.

"I don't believe so I don't think I can be capable of love. I am too broken and I will never be fixed" Tai states. He can never fall in love he will only end up hurting! He will go to the next world and his loved one gone. Alaric looks him straight in the eyes. He noticed Tai had fear and hurt when he said those words.

"Tai you aren't broken! There is nothing to be fixed being yourself is enough. Everyone is capable of love even you" Alaric scolds. Tai shakes his head.

"I'm too paranoid, I'm too needy, I'm too depressed no one will be able to handle me. Alaric I prefer to be on my own anyway at least I won't hurt their feeling over me being too paranoid" Tai responds coldly. Alaric grabs his hands.

"I can handle it! If you give me a chance!" Alaric cries out. Tai's eyes widen no he cannot date Alaric! He only felt connected to him for being June but in the next world, he wouldn't be there! He will leave him and he would never want to feel that pain. He can't and he will not go through that pain.

"Alaric I don't want to hurt your feelings! I cannot do that I will only hurt you in the end" Tai answers flustered before running off. Alaric watches as Tai runs off why couldn't Tai just accept him? Why does he insist that he can't? Why can't he accept him?
