H.U.R.T
What If You Eliminate It?

"Go!"

Lexi shouted hysterically, there was no more thing that she could reach to throw at Steve who was unyielding even though his forehead had been injured and bleeding.

"You said you wanted to take me to a place where no one could find me. You liar! I hate it here!!!"

Yeah, well, the reason Lexi's angry with Steve is because the guy took her to his parents' place. Lexi wanted to hide, run to the part of the world where no one would recognize her. He was getting tired of living his life looking perfect and fine, in fact, not what it seemed.

The perfection of life he lived made his friends envious of him. Lexi didn't want that because she realized her life was far from perfect.

As time went on, the envious and satirical stares began to disappear because his friends one by one did start to disappear. Died in a horrible way.

Sometimes he feels the departure of his friends is what he wants. That way he doesn't have to pretend to be good in front of everyone. Look at! He felt himself to be hypocritical. Hey, Lexi, you're a good girl.

The peak of his exhaustion also came when Austin intended to desecrate him. Lexi couldn't figure out why Austin would do that. Is because it turns out Austin also holds a grudge against him because his biological parents used to do the same to both parents. I don't know what possessed Lexi until her mind got there. He even considered what he experienced was bad karma from the stories in the past.

Then his weak side whispered, if he is worthy of all this evil, bear the guilt of his parents. It was just that, as the matter struck him, he found himself not strong enough to endure it all that running and hiding was his choice.

"That's not what you want."

Steve sat on the edge of the bed, in front of Lexi who was looking at him with giddiness. The girl's cheeks were moistened by traces of tears. Her beautiful eyes were puffy from crying too much. Her real hair shows its true form. It grows like a lion's hair because Lexi doesn't have time to straighten it. In the midst of this stifling situation, Steve had all the time admired his girl's hair.

"What do you know about what you want?!"

Steve took a deep breath. Yeah, what does he know about Lexi? There was nothing but the girl's favorite drink. Peach juice.

Even when Olivia sends out horrifying terrors, all she does is keep an eye on her.

Now, the girl is deeply shaken by what she is going through and Steve is willing to bet that Lexi will be further devastated, battered by the fact that she is Steven Percy. Now, how will he convey that fact when Lexi loses faith in everyone.

Lexi was angry, disappointed in Austin. Lexi was afraid to meet her parents. Worried about their views. His parno thought that Pax, Alena and Darren would blame him. Just like people did to him. Lexi's having a crisis of confidence.

"They're gonna accuse me of seducing Austin. They'll also say if I'm a cheap girl who doesn't know herself. They're..."

"Nobody's gonna say you like that."

"No one said, brengseeekk!! Your lover said that I was a cheap net. Oleshia said that in front of you! What the hell are you doing? Just giving a warning with a cynical look. What you're doing won't heal the wounds in my heart. Cheap, badger, destroyer all those words lead to a demonic woman named Luna. The woman who gave birth to me into this mortal world. All those barbaric words confirm if his blood flows in my blood. I don't want to be said like that. But why do they say it like that? Do I look so cheap?"

"You're not like that."

"Your entertainment is useless! You're even one of the people who put me in that position. Your lover's dirty mouth adds to the wound here," Lexi held onto his chest.

"Adding to the list of people who hurt me. No one likes me."

"I'm sorry."

Steve's calm actually makes Lexi's anger flare up. Fishing for his desire to vent all the anger that he has been craving so far.

"Save that sorry word of yours. I don't need that." Voice weakened.

For a moment Lexi fell silent, her heart-wrenching gaze slashing at anyone who saw her. It was like Steve was pulling the girl into his arms, but he knew it would make things worse. Lexi doesn't like the touch of the moment.

"Why would I say that, because Daddy Pax also doubted me." His shoulders were shaking with trembling lips. The anger is still overflowing but Lexi is trying to control it.

"If he doesn't doubt me, he can't possibly send Steve to a very distant place. Daddy saw Luna's shadow inside me. A terrible obsession that could destroy everything. If the man who took care of me from birth doubted me, then why should I blame someone else?"

For a moment he went berserk, for a moment he blamed himself, and a moment later he would go crazy. Lexi's like a girl with an alter ego, but she's not. The girl was just depressed, too harboring everything all this time.

"Then I found out what Daddy was worried about was true. I'm the worst girl. Steve died and all I did in front of his parents was act like a good-natured boy. They don't know if their son's death was caused by me. With my passionate feelings. I'm a hypocrite, aren't I?"

Steve shook his head. That was as much of the burden carried by this girl before him.

"What do I do if it's like this?" Steve was completely lost for words.

"What should? You really want to do it for me?"

"Say if it can calm you down."

"You love me?"

"Of course."

"You're not lying?"

"Did you see my nose lengthen?"

Ignoring the man's ridiculous answer, Lexi again asked, "You're mine?"

"Fully," said Steve firmly and straightforwardly.

"What if you tear the mouths of those who say I'm net and cheesy. You have to eliminate them all. You said you liked me, but I didn't like it when other women tried to take you. Oleshia could have taken you back. I want you to kill him, how? I promise to be a sweet girl to you. If you don't kill him, our relationship won't work. We'll get out of here after you eliminate him."

Steve looked closely at Lexi's face. Is that really what the girl wants?

"You want me to do it?"

Lexi nodded quickly, "I'll trust you completely. You're all I have right now. I don't want anyone else to take you. She has the snatch skills that her sister, Olivia, does. Darren is a traitor, I think he loves me very much, it turns out that he's in a relationship with Olivia behind my back. If they were related, why would he still want my Steve? My stupid steve!"

Steve gulped his saliva. Either he should be happy or upset at this moment. Lexi berates him but also declares ownership of him.

"Darren's in a relationship with Olivia?"

"They hugged, kissed too. I saw the album."

"You're violating other people's privacy, honey."

"I didn't do it intentionally. I was confused as to why she was crying over Olivia's grave like I was crying over Steven's. Then I found the answer in his room."

Steve smiled, Lexi started to calm down by herself. He reached out to caress the girl's hair. However, his hand movements came to a halt upon hearing Lexi's next utterance.

"You're going to eliminate him, right? I dreamt that he would eliminate me for taking you. I don't like you very much, but right now you're the only one I can trust. You're all I have."
