Python

"Your parents weren't so innocent either Kenny!" I shouted as tears welled up my face. "If anything, I don't regret killing them. They were murders."

"Murders? You're taking about murders? You?!" He chuckled bitterly. "Forty eight murders, and that's just this year only, by you. Want me to count every single one from the last ten years ?"

"I don't just go around killing innocent people, you should know that. None of them are innocent." I shaked my head, wiping my cheeks. "Your parents killed innocent children and sold their organs. They killed hundreds of kids, their jobs were just a cover."

"That's not true. My parents weren't murders. My parents saved lives, and you took them away from me. You killed my parents Blue." Tears rolled down and he wiped his eyes instantly. He ran his hands through his hair and looked away from me. He didn't want me to see him cry, just like always.

"All those murders I've committed. They weren't for fun Kenny. They all had one or the other thing in common." I let my tears flow down my cheeks. "They were all abusers, rapists, sex traffickers, all of them victimized innocent people."

"Just like your parents." I continued. "They might have been good parents to you, but they were robbing other parents of experiencing parenthood. Your mother wasn't just a pediatrician, just like how your dad wasn't just a Surgeon. They used their jobs as a cover. They took away the chance for many poor kids to grow up. Sold their organs to the rich... Kenny they weren't as innocent as you think they were."

"And I'm supposed to believe you?" He turned to look at me again. "You of all people? Tell me how can I trust you? You lied to me for months Blue. You watched me have sleepless nights, looking high and low for Python. While all along you knew it was you! You I was looking for! "

"And I'm so sorry for that Kenny. I'm really sorry. I did wanna tell you but I didn't wanna loose you." I sighed heavily looking up, trying to stop my tears from falling. I looked at him and found him wiping his own eyes. "I love you, I genuinely love you and I knew this was gonna break us apart and I just..."

"Well you were right about that." He chuckled coldly. "You made me fall in love with you Blue. I trusted you more than anyone. Was this your plan ? Make me fall in love with you then break me afterwards ?"

"No.. Kenny I love you, my feelings for you are genuine. Yes at first it was about the flash drive but then you unexpectedly became the most important person in my life. You became my source of happiness, I-"

"What flash drive ?" He interrupted me. He narrowed his eyes confusedly. I sighed heavily as I looked out the window. I knew very well that what's about to come next wasn't gonna be nice.
Guess it's time to lay everything on the table.

"I'm not Blue Moreno." I replied. "My real name is Blue Cooper. I wasn't raised by my grandparents. I didn't go to military school, I didn't join the army, there's no grandfather, I didn't grow up in a small town, I didn't.. they were all lies, it was all a cover."

I looked at Kenny's shocked expression. I would prefer it if he showed me anger or hatred, rather than the hurt and broken expression on his face. "So basically everything I knew about you was a lie ?"

I nodded. "I'm Alexander's daughter-the leader of the Goated Gang... I was sent on a mission to retrieve the flash drive you got from the Sixty eight's."

I looked at him waiting for his response but got nothing. He said nothing to me as he looked outside the window. I just needed him say something, shout, scream, just do something.

"For the first few weeks, it was about completing the task. It was about finding the flash drive... But as time went by, it didn't matter to me anymore. It doesn't matter to me anymore."

"I love you, and that's the only thing that matters to me." I concluded with tears rolling down my cheeks. Kenny still didn't even look at me.

He moved from the counter and made his way upstairs. I sighed as I looked at him go up the stairs. At this point I wouldn't be suprised if he wanted nothing to do with me, it would totally be understandable.

I placed my elbows on the counter and sighed as I face palmed myself with both hands. I don't know what to do at this point. I hurt the man I love the most in this world. The most kindest and caring person I've ever came across. The man who showed me nothing but love and affection. Respectful, faithful, patient.

Kenny- the man who understands my thoughts and feelings and is willing to show his own. The guy who is turned into his emotions and is not afraid to show them from time to time. A level-headed guy who can talk things out without letting things escalate. I'm not saying he's perfect, I'm just saying he comes with a long list of amazing qualities that overshadow his shortcomings. And I just lost him- for good..

I lifted my head up and I stood straight when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Kenny walked inside the kitchen and extended his hand to hand me something. I looked at the device in his hand, it was a small, black USB drive. It was the flash drive.

I looked Kenny in his eyes confusedly without taking the drive in his hand.
"You came here for this right ?" He said signalling to the small gadget in his hand. "Here. Take it."

Out of all the things I imagined he'd do after he learnt the truth, giving me the flash drive was never one of them. Shock was an understatement to what I feeling right now. "I told you I don't want it anymore Kenny." I truthfully said. "I don't care about it, or my mission, or the gang. I understand that you would not want anything to with me, I get that. But I want you to know that I'm really sorry for hurting you and lying to you for so long. I fell for you Kenny, I fell for you hard and I just wish we'd met in different circumstances."

"Your flight is in twelve hours." He said as he threw the flash drive on top of the counter and headed towards the front door. He got out and shut the door, leaving me stunned.

He really hates my guts, I literally just poured out my whole heart and he upped and left. Do I blame him? No. Did it hurt? like a bitch.
