Sparks | A NeonxReader story

Chapter 43

Neon's P.O.V.:

"Easy you idiot! If I don't stop the bleeding you're going to die!", When I first met him, he had a sword in his chest. 

."Why do I have to be the one to watch him?", I didn't want to be slowed down by him, and having to keep tabs on him all the time would do exactly that.

"My name's Neon, or Tala, whichever you prefer" , He showed me that he was more than meets the eye. Maybe he wasn't so bad.

"You look pretty", I thought that he was lying to me, just stupid empty words. 

"Now we just move, and you're dancing!", He didn't know how to dance, he stepped on me once or twice. His face so close, I could feel his warm breath tickle the skin of my neck.

"They were right there, just for a second I saw them. . .Why? Why would you bring me back?", I didn't know who he was talking about, I realized that I didn't know anything about him at all. 

"If you're going to do everything you can to stop them, then so am I", I realized how much he truly meant to me, he was strong, and someone who I admired. 

"You should use my real name more often", I felt comfort in it, the way he said my name, excited me, it was like electricity.

"Don't you think that after everything we've done we deserve to be selfish? Just for a minute?", I wanted to give in, to tell him that I cared, that he didn't need to feel alone ever again. 

"Tala. . .did you know? . . .", his face, it's haunted me since that day, the look of devastation, like he had just broke apart, the look he had when I answered him.  

". . .yes"

I failed to notice how broken apart you were, that on the inside, there was almost nothing holding you together. A mind that had been deceived to, and lied to. A heart that had been hurt and stabbed and filled with pain. A spirit of fire that had been drowned in the ocean.

 You allowed me to be your support, and I let you fall. 

You entrusted me with your secrets you'd locked away, and I threw them in your face. 

You protected me, and I repaid you by leaving your back exposed to the assault you had taken for me. 

I let you down, y/n, patawad. . .

My eyes opened to a blinding light. The scientist shining an unbearably bright flashlight in my eyes as she analyzed them. I didn't bother fighting it this time, because there was nothing I could do to stop them. 

Kingdom had released false documents about us, and we were shown to the public. Three days ago they attacked us for their selfish wants. They only wanted us for money, they wanted the secret to our power, like it was some marketable product. 

The scientist finished what they were doing, and left. I let my head drop back down, I felt exhausted. It was night, and they wouldn't even let me sleep.

I didn't know what to do, there wasn't anything I could do. They had captured everyone, and the only person left, would never help us. I couldn't blame only myself for that, but it was mostly me. 

"This sucks", Jett said beside me. 

"Tell me about it", Yoru added. 

We were all in the same room, bound to a fancy wall with all sorts of things on it to analyze us, and to make sure we didn't move.
