The Ex- Chapter 9

In which she lets her see her BATCAVE

POV-Amara

************************************

"Hello Alessandra." With less than a sliver of excitement. I don"t even know why I set this meeting up in the first place. To let her see my own personal Batcave? I wasn"t a superhero per se, but I liked keeping this place a secret. Some hero say they don"t let people know to keep them safe, I do it to keep me safe.

She took the seat in front of me in the small square table that was against the window. My chill spot, I thought. I smiled in my head remembering the superhero babble. "I am really happy you called me. I have been meaning to reconcile." I almost wanted to laugh at that.

"Reconcile? Maybe this wasn"t a good idea." I grabbed my purse and was about to leave before her soft hand reached for me. "Wait please let"s just talk about this. Give me a chance." She pleaded I could tell she needed this and wanted to talk to me, but all I saw was the writing in her diary.

I took a deep breath before setting my purse down and taking a seat. " Okay, let"s talk." She let a sigh of relief pass through her lips. She really did want to talk. We haven"t talked since the confrontation without counting me seeing her at Abigail"s.

-------FLASHBACK---------

Anger was boiling inside me. I saw red. At that point I determined what I felt and that was anger and fury. Against my own sister.

I stomped to her room. More like tip toed it was late at night and the last thing I needed was to wake my parents up. I opened the door with so much force that she stumbled into a sitting position upon her soft sheets.

" Amara? What the hell?" Hurt and disbelief was shown in my orbs. I threw the book at her ,the pages ruffled and bent in awkward angles. She stared at me with surprise. How dare she?

"Whats going on? Thats what I would like you to explain to me dear sis?" Understanding and shame washed over her in waves. She looked down and picked the diary up. She held it up to her chest. "How much did you read?" Her shame was evident.

"Enough." My voice broke."How long?" So many questions were floating in my head. How? Why? When? Did they cheat? "I liked him even before you started dating I couldn"t bring myself to tell him and you did instead." I didn"t know this and wish I did. There"s one question I wanted answered and my face morphed into one of horror.

She read it and stomped on my suspicions. "We didn"t cheat I promise."

------------------FLASHBACK OVER--------------------

Snapped out of my memories by the rustling of paper and items. She held the photo to me. I immediately recognised this photo. I was going to senior year and my sister and Lucian were just graduating from high school. Our arms were wrapped behind each others backs happy and smiling.

I looked up to her in a questioning manner confused as to why she would show me this. "I was in love with him. Yet he loved you, and you took him from me." I didn"t know this back then. I put on an emotionless face.

"What do I care. There is nothing stopping you now. We are divorced if you hadn"t found out yet." Her face changed into a frown and visibly flinched at my harsh words.

"Um, yeah about that we-"

The ring of a phone interrupted what she was going to say. I stuffed my hand into my purse again to take out my phone with a frown visible on my features.

"Hello." My voice came from the side and the echo could be heard on the other. "Amara their is an emergency at the office I suggest you come here, now!" I was worried, what emergency?

"Look I got to go, what were you going to say?" I wanted to let her finish her statement before I left it might of been important. " Yeah don"t worry about it, it isn"t important."

With that I dashed out of the cafe. Into my car and roaring the engine to life before pulling away from the parking space and onto the road. I sped of without exceeding the limit of speed and onto my office building.

However that wasn"t what caught my eye. It wasn"t the police or the firemen that caught my eye either. What did was the huge building with debris and fire falling to the ground and shining in sheer glory.

Just like that it crumbled.

At this point I wish superheroes did exist or at least a miracle was underway.

Because right now I need one.
