Just leave

levi got home and went straight to chloe's room to check on her and he chuckled when he that she was still sleeping , he almost forgot that the girl slept alot . he stared at her for a while then the thought of showering crossed his mind . he should shower before she wakes up and see how stained he was for blood . he then remembered when he cleaned her wounds before calling the doctor . he wasn't going to tell her though , she would just get uncomfortable that he saw her exposed . his thoughts didn't even go far as the only thing he thought of then was to wash the blood off her and call a doctor to take care of her as soon as possible . he treated her with care and he was unaware of it . he hit the showers and when he was done he cooked for her . it was already past midnight and he sure it was now she would wake up and get hungry . it was by this time yesterday that he got angry that she left without his permission , just the thought gave him an headache . he prepared the food and entered her room with it only to see her awake . he wasn't surprised though

"you're awake" he uttered walking towards her bed

"you left " her voice was weak as she managed to sit on her bed with a few yelps

"i thought you'd be hungry" he said and she nodded

" i am " she replied with a small smile . levi placed the food tray on the edge of her bed .

"i'll feed you " he stated and Chloe's eyes which was glued on the food faced him almost instantly

"i can use my hands .... t-they d-d-ont hurt much " she assured picking up the spoon and ready to dig in when levi gently grabbed the spoon away from her hand .

"i didn't ask , let me feed you " chloe saw sparks of guilt in his eyes , why was he guilty? he had nothing to do with the kidnapping .

"why do i feel like you're feeling guilty , this has nothing to do with you Levi " she gave a wan smile and he looked away . he was feeling more guilty now . if only she knew he was the reason she got hurt like this .

"l... know " he lied ... he didn't want to but he had to . he can't just reveal everything to her . he scooped a full spoon of rice and pointed it at her lips . "open" he ordered and she obeyed.

"do you feel bad that i got injured " she suddenly asked and he stilled for some seconds before replying

"i do " she smiled at his response, he was sad she got injured ! he pointed another full spoon at her mouth and she opened and chewed .

"what did they want ?... money? " she asked again and he glanced at her then she pressed her head down .

" right rule number 2 , sorry i forgot .... i'm s-sorry f-for being a burden to you "she uttered and he just kept staring at her . why was she being obedient now that she got beaten up . "thank you levii... thank you very much , i thought i was going to die and i just ----wanna thank you from the bottom -- "she didn't know when tears pooled her eyes . she wiped her tears then faced him , he was still staring at her .

"feed me " she yanked him away from his thoughts , he smiled

"sorry i forgot " he brought the spoon to her lips and she faked a smile

"i noticed "

they were faking smiles at eachother like everything was okay when levi decided to talk first.

"what were you thinking!.... strolling .... alone .... at midnight are you crazy, you could've died "he scolded and she pressed her head down playing with her fingers she had seen this coming . maybe he just wanted her to finish her food .

"i know i know i was stupid " she admitted with her head pressed downwards

" you could've died "he lowered his voice

"but i didn't " she sniffed and he scoffed

"if didn't arrive earlier you could've " he was right so she sobbed more

" it's not my fault levi , i didn't know i would get kidnapped " she covered her eyes with her palms and kept crying

"ofcourse you didn't know , you act before thinking which is really dumb of you . do you know how worried i was "he clenched his jaw

" i'm sorry Levi " she wailed "i'm sorry" she refused to look at him

"look at me " he told with a calm and soft tone and she obeyed and slowly raised her head . her eyes were swollen and her face was light pink . he wiped her tear off with his thumb "come here " he said before hugging her

"it's not your fault" he coaxed "it's okay " she sniffed and held the sides of his shirt.

" i'm sorry "she murmured in the middle of her tears and hiccups "i'm sorry "

"why are you sorry hmmm?" he covered her head with his palm . he waited for her to stop crying which took longer than he had expected and when she eventually stopped he pulled away to stare at her

"pretty girls like you shouldn't cry much " he wiped her tears with his thumb and stared at her wrinkled lips. "hmm?" he struggled to look away . what was he doing wanting to kiss her in this situation

he heaved a deep sigh and removed his hands from her cheeks

"leave Russia" he said and Chloe had to blink a couple times before she could process his words.

"i don't get it " she replied after a short while .

"you have to leave Russia smith " he said with a straight face and she could only stare not getting where he was coming from . what was he saying.

"what are you implying" she was still loss of words

"i think people are after you and they know you're in Russia , they'll probably come back for you ..... you have to leave russia and go back to your family"levi explained . they shared gazed until chloe looked away and scoffed . he must be kidding !. he should have just told her he doesn't want anything to do with her anymore and she should leave . she almost thought he cared for her

"family" she chuckled sadly " i don't even know what that word means " she scoffed again

"smith come on " he held her chin to make her look at him but she didn't and peeled his hand off her chin

"so you're basically saying i'm better off there than i am here , i know i am being a burden to you so i'm fine with it if you tell me to leave " she spoke trying to hold her tears back . levi stared at her in disbelief . what was she saying he didn't want her to leave .

"smith no , you're misun-"

"you think i wanted to come here .... and now i'm in this country ... now that i'm finally here and i'm fine and doing well you tell me to-"

" damn it smith !! , you're not fine ....have you seen your self " levi cut her off trying to calm himself , he was fustrated . why was she always stubborn . can't she just say yes without whining for once

"you seriously don't get it " she exclaimed then faced the cieling to stop the tears that wanted to fall . she pushed him with her weak hands so he wouldn't be close to her anymore .

"you don't get it " she muttered wanting to lie on her bed then levi called her name with such a gelid tone as if as if trying to scold her

"smith!"

"you don't get it levi !!! ever since i was born i was abandoned by my biological father then my mother had to do the same apparently i was a burden to her to . they didn't want me then i grew up in a home that didn't feel like home . they also didn't want me . it was like i was suffocating inside . i was locked inside that stupid villa all my life and then they abandoned me to my face . as if that wasn't enough they also stole my money . where ever i go people dont want me and now you're telling me to go back because i'm a burden to you .

go back to where ? huh? my so called 'family' you should've just let me die then , there's no way i'm going back there . i can move out if you want i'll find another place to stay " she yelled those word with moist and red eyes.

Levi could only stare at her , he knew she wasn't treated well by her family but he didn't know she was abandoned and he wasn't telling her to leave because she was a burden . he was worried that they'd use her as his weakness . now that his father knew about her , she had gotten involved with him and her life was in danger.

"i have no one levi .. no one ! i have nothing ! , i won't even go to college my life is completely , 100% ruined

levi held her shoulders but she didn't look up to face him and just kept crying. he shifted her head so that her eyes would meet his .

"this is just the beginning chloe , just leave , do whatever to let them have you back ... i'm ser-"

" I DON'T FUCKING CARE"she screamed at levi . he was in complete shock . she had never reacted this way before even if she had some anger issues this was the first time she had behaved like this . she was so hellbent about not going back to her family . chloe glared at him aggressively indirectly telling him she was not going anywhere and there was nothing he could do about it
