"Ah... Ok! So you don't love her as a sister... Got it!" Lucas said.

  I felt my eyes widdened...

  He must just be very lucky...

  Right...?

  "Come on! You going to stand there or get in?" Lucas pulled my wrist and I felt my butt land on a leather chair.

  I noticed his car was entirely black.

  "You know. What you did back there was amazing." Lucas said as he kept his eyes on the road and started driving.

'I know my second voice is a blessing sometimes... But at the same time it's a curse.'

  '"Thank you! And I know right! I'm so good at these kinds of things"'

  "Thank you! And I know right! I'm so good at these kinds of things" I said grinning as I put on my seat belt.

  "But how did you know I'd stop that punch? From what I've seen you know how to doge." Lucas asked.

  '"I just did. Plus you seem like you care for me too much that you won't stand there and watch me get hit, on top of that I know your not the type of person to stand around and do nothing when violence is going on"'

  "I just did. Plus you seem like you care for me too much that you won't stand there and watch me get hit, on top of that I know your not the type of person to stand around and do nothing when violence is going on." I said knowing that I was sounding cocky.

  "You know I didn't know you had it in you to make smart remarks." Lucas said.

  'No... I don't have it in me to make smart remarks but... At least my second voice does...'

  '"Well guess what! I do! And I'm very proud of it!"'

  "Well guess what! I do! And I'm very proud of it!" I said my nose high in the air.

  "So... If you did it once you can do it again right?" Lucas said.

  'What's Lucas getting at...?'

  '"Duh!"'

  "Duh!" I replied.

  "Great! Because if you can do it again it means that it's a part if you, not someone else. It means that you can actually also do that.if you can do it over and over again it means that you have the ability to make smart remarks too." Lucas said smiling.

  'Did he just code all his words...' I was in awe.

  I realized what he said...

  And a part of me wanted to believe it...

  A part if me wanted to believe that I had the confidence my second voice did...

  That I could stand up for myself like my second voice did...

  "Why did Lena fear you so much?" I asked somewhat changing topics.

  "Like every other girl in this universe, she likes me." Lucas proudly claimed.

  "No only does she like you she also seemed to have a high amount of respect for you since she didn't want you to help her." I said speaking of my analysis.

  "I may have gotten her the role of Penelope by recommending her, so that explains why she respects me." Lucas stated.

  "I see." I replied.

  I felt a buzz in my bag.

  'Did someone message me?' I took out my phone.

  I looked and it wasn't someone messaging me but the news.

  'What gossip is there this time?'

  Breaking news: Jennette reckless driving.

  Headlines: Our Favourite Athanasia romantically involved?

  NewNews: Athanasia our Doll together with ijekiel our prince of gentle charisma.

  'Sigh...' I mentally tried to prepare myself.

  Nothing good comes out of news..

  I clicked on the breaking news first.

  'Bloody shit...' I cursed when I saw a picture of Jennette on the floor with her head slightly bleeding she was consious and sitting up looking around scared, the car beside her ruined.

  "What's going on? I can sense the tension." Lucas asked keeping his eyes on the road.

  'This is why Jennette doesn't drive...'

  "Jennette got into an accident." I said I felt him jam in the breaks making the whole car come to a top with the wheels squeaking.

  'I feel dizzy from that sudden spin....' lucky no cars were around us.

  "Jennette what?" Lucas asked he seemed worried.

  "She ran the car into a lamp post." I said sighing.

  "Aren't you supposed to be concerned...?" Lucas said showing his confusion at my reaction.

  "Yes I'm slightly concerned, but I know she's going to come out of this alive frankly speaking I'm more worried about what father is going to do to m-" my eyes widdened as I put my hands on my mouth.

  "What is your Father going to do to you?" Lucas said anger, concern and suspension laced his voice.

  "Nothing! Absolutely nothing! But for you information I am concerned but I know she won't die plus look at the photo you can see that Kiel is already helping her." I said showing Lucas the photo and pointing to the faint figure that can barely be seen.

  'Good job! Almost messed up our lives Athanasia!' my second voice scolded.

  "Fine I'll drop it." Lucas said.

  'Im going to be in so much trouble later... Not only for coming home late due to visiting Lucas but also not driving the car... I just hope I don't end up there again...' I wanted to sigh and silently let tears fall but I refused to.

  I clicked on the second one 'Headlines: Our Favourite Athanasia romantically involved?'

  I saw a picture of Lucas an inch away from me holding the bags filled with drinks and slipping them from my hand to his with this grin in his face.

  'I can't do anything without consequences can I...?' I know my hand was trembling slightly.

  I can admit I was scared...

  When I go home I'm in deep trouble...

  Father doesn't like me getting close to guys.

  According to him I shouldn't 'bewitch' the poor guy to be with me.

  Saying that I shouldn't burden others...

  "Hey you ok?" Lucas asked now back to driving.

  '"Yeah."'

  "Yeah." My second voice took control knowing me right now is as good as useless.

  I breathed in and out then clicked on the third news.

  NewNews: Athanasia our Doll together with ijekiel our prince of gentle charisma.

  There was the picture if kiel blushing while I looked at him with a polite smile and bags of drinks in my hand.

  Sigh..

  I looked down and smiled.

  'This is my life... Better get used to it...' I smiled bitterly to myself.

  When I got home there are 4 reasons Father is going to bring hell to me.

  1- I am going home late.

  2- I didn't drive the car.

  3- I am found with another guy helping me.

  4- Jennette's crush is blushing at me.

  My life's going to end...

  I just kept smiling as I lifted my head up and rested against the car seat.

  "Athanasia?" Lucas called snapping me out of my trance.

  "You ok? I sense your tension and on top of that you suddenly went silent." Lucas said.

  '"I'm fine."'

  "I'm fine!" I said faking a happy smile.

  "I know your not going to say what's in your mind, but... Just know that if you need help I'm here ok?" Lucas offered.

  "Ok..." I replied weakly and smiled.

  'Drop a text to Felix that your going to be home late, we don't want Amaranth to alert father and make a police report.' my second voice told me and I followed.

  Amaranth isn't at the hospital since if she goes there people will find it suspicious.

  So uncle Felix is probably staying with her at home.

Uncle Felix

Felix can you tell Mara I'll be home late?

Sure why?
Also aren't you going to see Jennette?

  'That's a fast reply...'

I'm not going to see Jennette.
I'm going over to visit on of our neighbors.
Make sure Mara doesn't stay up late waiting for me.

  'Of course I'm not going, if I go Father may get mad enough that I become a punching bag.'

Ok? But you are telling me who this neighborhood is next time.

Yes Uncle Felix.

  "And we're here." Lucas said getting out of his seat.

  'Welp here we are... Let's just enjoy this for now...'

  'Ill deal with the consequences later...' I sighed as I walked out of the car.
