Phoenix's pov
"booosss!" I turned around to see atena running at me at full speed. For a moment I was afraid she was going to knock me over!
"uhh what is it atena?" I asked nervously.
"apollo told me that you and Mr Edgeworth were once lovers"
"wha- apollo!" I glared at him.
"sorry sir. She forced it out of me" he sighed.
"you still love him don't you daddy" trucy said softly.
Their eyes were on me. I couldn't lie to them.
"yes I do but I lost my chance a long time ago" I turned away. Damnit! I hate feeling so weak in front of them.
"hey says who!" athea yelled "it's never to late. Love always prevails!"
"you're too nieve" I sighed "look I hurt him really bad. I can't go back now"
"then swallow your pride and apologise" athea insisted.
"just tell him what Kristoph did to you. I'm sure he'll understand" apollo muttered.
"it wasn't all Kristoph. I screwed up too" I grit my teeth "I don't deserve his forgiveness or his love!"
"boss I can hear your heart screaming out in pain. I can't stand to see you like this" atena said tearfully.
"neither can I" apollo folded his arms.
"daddy" trucy looked up at me sadly.
Their eyes were so concerned. I was hoping to keep these feelings bottled up but I can't hide anything from them. I can't make them worry like this. It's not fair!
"ok" I forced a big smile "I'll talk to him"
