H.U.R.T
You're Pathetic

"W-what's that?"

Pax and Darren turned. The two of them immediately stood up, stepping quickly closer to Lexi who was drooping down. His body was trembling, his face was deathly pale, his manic was blurring due to the tears welling up there. He saw what was happening on television. His father and brother were so focused on watching that they didn't realize Lexi was coming in.

"Lexi," Darren reached out to help Lexi stand up.

Lexi looked at him with a wounded look, "You're harassing Oleshia?"

Darren shook his head, "It's not like that."

"Is that why Daddy sent Steven to prison to save Darren?" Now his gaze turned to Pax, his manic implying an overwhelming disappointment.

"Dad, did you really do it to protect your son?"

"No, honey, no. Not like that?"

"It's terrible, Dad. What happened to them. Dean, wa-his face blisters. Vincent, how could he be involved? He's a cop, isn't he? How can they rape and accuse Steven of doing it? H-how can in his teens already act brutally like that. Poor olivia. What are you doing, Darren? You know Olivia and Oleshia are going through this and you're just quiet? Or did you harass them too? Darren, please, say no. Tell me if you're not involved? This is what your crying means over Olivia's grave, I mean, Oleshia's tomb?"

"No. I'm not involved." Darren spoke firmly.

Lexi looks for the lies in her brother's eyes and she finds nothing but honesty. Yeah, Lexi could feel that.

"Trust me," Darren sat before Lexi as he reached out, and Lexi nodded quickly. The girl dropped herself into Darren's arms.

"I know you won't hurt a woman. Yeah, right?"

"I don't hurt women."

Darren rubbed his sister's back, restoring Lexi's composure. He knew his sister's feelings were being depressed and very sensitive, it was important for Darren to keep Lexi believing in him. Inside their bodies were flowing the same blood, Lexi placed great hopes on him. The girl would not be able to accept any other facts if her brother was involved in such an embarrassing act. Lexi could have considered if she deserved the abuse because she had to bear the karma of her brother's actions.

"Then, vidio what do they mean. I also found some pictures of you with Oleshia in your room."

"You infiltrated?"

"I'm just curious. So, do you like Olivia or her sister?"

"Oleshian. He and I are friends. We meet often."

"Friends?"

"Hm."

"Not a lover."

"i like it. Loved it. I express my feelings over and over again. He refused, precisely stalling."

"Why is he buying time?"

"Eitherway. He felt inappropriate. That's what he said. Until prom night, she came to replace Olivia. I certainly recognize him."

Darren did not tell the fact that in the afternoon before the prom night, Olivia was harassed and Steven was beaten to death. That day, he didn't know what was going on. As he escorted Oliv and Steve to the hospital, the two compactly told him to leave while casting fierce, hostile gazes. Darren ignored the expulsion of the two lovebirds, not because he was curious about what happened. But he saw some nurses ignoring them. Darren had a dispute with a doctor to immediately examine Olivia.

She hears that Olivia was being abused. He could immediately guess that Brian and his conco-concocts were the culprits immediately came to Brian's house, asking the prihal. Of course Brian denies the accusation. Both ended in a duel.

"Then?"

Darren awoke from his reflection. He lowered his head, finding Lexi's face waiting for his story enthusiastically.

"Finally not good. When he decided to accept my feelings, his mother called him and said something that made me angry."

"Oh, forget it."

"Darren."

"Lexy."

"Tell me completely!"

"His mother has decided her future. She's going away, a career as a model. Tell him to come home soon. I persuaded him to abandon his intentions. He refused. We struggled for a few minutes in our relationship. He decided to leave and I let him. Not chasing at all. I'm sorry," she said at the end of the sentence.

"Oh my God, you're suffering too." Lexi hugged Darren tightly.

"If I hold him."

"Don't blame yourself. Not everything can be as we expected. Brian and his friends are outrageous. They should be punished. Why is Daddy just quiet? Shouldn't Daddy be able to do it?"

"Not everything can be meddled in, Lexi. In addition to the Darren vidio they made as a weapon to attack us, his mother also did not want to extend this. What can be done when the koban family does not want to prolong the case of his daughter's death."

"But Steven was the victim" he murmured in a sad tone.

Pax and Darren compactly took a deep breath. That statement is uncontested. But, as Lexi said earlier, there are some things that are not in line with expectations even though they have been carefully arranged and planned.

At the same time in a different place was seen Steve and Beth, also watching the live broadcast. The city corners were made a scene instantly.

"It's worth it the action can be smooth like this. He is an expert at taking over the mind. Olivia was really great and terrible. By the way, I heard a ludicrous rumor."

"If what you're saying is about Lexi getting married, it's not laughable, Dude. It's pathetic!" Steve breathed a heavy breath. "This is how love, its pain is endless."

Beth chuckled, "You don't look like a heartbroken man. You're planning something?"

Steve snorted, "What can I plan? What is a broken hearted man like? I should roar? Killing myself?"

"It's not you, man."

Steve drank his drink. Yeah, given what he and Lexi have been through, an end like this is very unfair. It wasn't that hard to get Lexi to escape and disappear, but the risk was also too great.

"Why not kidnap her?"

Steve took out his lighter and took Beth's lighter on the table.

"Make this lighter Lexi" Steve persuaded his lighter and put it in an empty glass. Then Steve picked up Beth's glass, which was filled with water. "Lexi is surrounded by sweet-mouthed friends." He poured water into a glass containing a lighter that was likened to Lexi. "The lies of those closest to him destroyed it. He was insulted, said to be cheap repeatedly. He was almost harassed. He lost his trust. What are you looking at, Beth?"

"The beautician didn't drown at all."

Steve nodded, "Yes, you're right. Lexi's staying put, getting through it all. Keep trying to get up. But let's see what happens." Steve turned on the lighter. "Can't light up. Lexi harbored her pain. Pain that will not heal on its own. All he needs right now is the support of the man he believes can save him." Steve turned on Beth's lighter and divided the fire into its lighter. Both lit. "Harry will support her, heal her."

"You sure?"

"I can only hope."

"What if it turns out that the step he chose was wrong?"

"I'm gonna beat Harry up, kill him."

"Ck! You're pathetic, man."
