Chapter Twenty-Five

Eden

As soon as I’m alone with the creepy God, things start to go south. Panic swells within me. I know I need to be strong, but that doesn’t feel as easy as it sounds. Cupid, where the hell are you? If this isn’t the kind of situation where I need you, what the hell is?

“Sit down, Eden.” He motions to a chair.

I move towards it, apparently of my own accord. I try to stop moving and find out I can’t. He’s commanding me. I’m forced to obey. I sit and he moves another chair to sit across from me. Our knees don’t quite touch, but he feels too close. My skin crawls at the thought of what’s coming.

“If you’re expecting your guide to come and tell you how to get out of this, you’ll be sorely disappointed. Cupid avoids Gods at all costs. As long as you’re in the same damn room as me, you’re on your own.”

Make me feel worse, why don’t you?

“I don’t need him,” I say it like I mean it, but under the surface I’m freaking the hell out.

“I just love bravado. The feisty ones always break the hardest. I’m going to shatter you, Eden. Snap your spirit into a million pieces.”

I take a breath before I slide forward enough to let our knees touch. I focus to force the light into him. My head starts to pound. The pain is so harsh I gasp.

“Trying to get into my heart won’t work. I have nothing but darkness inside. You’ll only cause yourself more hurt.” He leans forward and puts his hand over mine. “But go ahead and try.”

I don’t know if he’s trying to psych me out but I’ll take any chance I can grab onto. I entwine my fingers in his and lock gazes. I grimace through the pain soaring through my head. I feel like I might pass out by the time my light is too bright between us to keep my eyes open. I close them and it feels like falling. Like the ground just fell out from under me.

It’s so dark and I feel like my entire body is throbbing in agony. What have I done? I don’t know. I only know I can’t undo this. I’m stuck, trapped. I struggle to open my eyes. When I finally do it’s as if my other senses follow the vision.

I see a kitchen floor under little hands. It’s dirty and there’s noise from some kind of machinery nearby. A woman walks in and grabs me by the ankle. No, wait, not me. Him. This is his past. A memory. I’m in his head. She yanks him out from under the table to start screaming at him. I can barely hear a word of what she’s saying. I just know it’s loud and it hurts and I don’t know why she can’t just be like other moms. She smacks him and he starts to cry.

And then it’s over. I’m pushed out, back through the darkness and into my seat across from the creep I’m holding hands with.
