"What?"

"Rose. How much did she tell you about me?"

Terra sobered, looking away from X as she blinked slowly. "You ran off after Zucco... that's all I know."

"My dad?"

"She told."

There was another pause, this one was longer. Alex was tensing up beside her, she could feel him straining to think on what to do; knowing he hated to have to carry on a thought process. He was lazy like that. "I'm nothing like him." He said boldly into the air, trying to make some sort of statement, and making it perfectly clear.

Terra frowned softly, reaching up and grabbing one his hands in her own and letting it set up above their heads. "I know." She lied gently. But she could see the resemblance, the impulsive decision making, the disorderly way of life, the disregard for most other people, but she wouldn't tell him that, because she had a feeling he already knew. Terra knew the pain of being a sort of symbol for someone else, she knew that bearing family marks could be hard, she understood, and she also understood the comfort in lying to ones self so let him do so. Ignorance truly was bliss.

I'm SOOO sorry this chapter is taking so long. It's over 8k words so far though, and I haven't even added in all the scenes I need... it's turning out to be so long, and as obviously stated above, going to in tune so much important information... its causing such a headache.

So at least heres a preview, if nothing else xD
