Apollo's Weakness

Chapter 32- Confused

Kill Bill- SZA

"Thank you so much," she told him, her voice quivering. She cuddled Tammy closer to her, still not believing that this was happening.

"I know how much she meant to you," he held his hands clasped together so he doesn't reach out and pull her into his arms. Fuji's smile had healed every little broken part of him. The way her eyes lit up, made his all of the shadows destroying his soul scurry away. Every little thing about her made him better.

He frowned when her eyes watered and a tear fell down her cheek.

Shit, what the fuck did I do now?

He thought to himself as panic brewed within him. He pushed off of the frame and walked towards her his heart beating frantically in his chest. He was cautious not to do anything idiotic as he bent down so that he was at her level. He watched her closely as she sniffled quietly. He lifted his hand and gently wiped her tears away from her red cheeks.

"Don't cry, butterfly," he murmured, making her bury her head into his chest. The baby just stared at her with confusion. Fuji was careful not to crush her as she leaned against Apollo. The boy felt like he was just resurrected when he inhaled her heavenly scent.

Fuji sniffled, "Why do you have to be so damn sweet?!"

Apollo's brows furrowed, "Are you mad?"

Fuji shook her head, "No, stupid, I-I'm just- I don't know," she cried, pulling her lips between her teeth in frustration.

Apollo cupped her face, kissing the tip of her cute nose, "You can spend the day with Tammy, and I'll pick you up later?" He silently begged her to let him, knowing that she would most likely try to argue with him. He wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. But he had done so much wrong before, he couldn't let himself ever be selfish when it came to her again.

"Okay," her response was quiet but loud enough for Apollo to hear. He stayed in the room for a beat too long before leaving out the door. He walked through the halls, hoping that Fuji would call out his name, but she didn't. He let out a shaky breath before he saw Williams.

"She's a sweet girl, what the fuck is she doing with you?" He looked amused with only made Apollo even more upset. He knew that he didn't deserve her kindness, he didn't deserve her in general but he didn't like to be reminded of it.

Especially after he fucked up big time.

Now he was even more confused, trying to think of ways to prove himself to her again. He was ignoring the fact that she might not ever take him back. He done so much to hurt the precious angel he had no right to gain her forgiveness. If she never did, he would understand but he would never be able to get over her.

She was his only love.

"I don't even know," he sighed, pulling on his jacket.

"What the hell did you do?" Williams asked, suspicion in his voice. He knew the devastated look on his face. He once held the same expression. So he knew how much pain the boy was going through. Though Apollo was almost 22 years old now, to Williams, he would always be his boy.

"I... I fucked up, I let her down so many times," Apollo ran a hand down his face, "I don't know how to fix it," he groaned, leaning his head against the wall, trying not to scream. His fists were curled with anger towards himself. If he had logically thought even one thought through, he might've not been in this nightmarish situation. He would be his angel right now.

"You can't fix it," Williams said, making Apollo's eyes snap up to meet his. "You can't go back in time to take back every little fuck-up but what you can do is do every little thing to gain her trust again and not break it again."
