What I Didn't Know; 1x1 With Sheaisawesome666

[Trots]

I looked around in the vehicle and raised an eyebrow. "Your car is very nice." I tried to be nice even though he kidnapped me when I was delirious. I looked over to him with an eyebrow raised as he spoke.
"Thanks, princess. Any girl would be lucky to be in a car with me."
"Well, i'm not. Not at all. I was just complementing your CAR not YOU." I crossed my arms and felt the car stop.
"For that, we're turning around."
"You seriously want me to stay?" I looked over to him suspiciously. His cheeks reddened and he shook his head.
"No no! I just think you should learn your lesson." He turned the car around and began to drive back. I sighed and calmed, trying to be chill about the situation.
"Fine. Sure. I'm fine with that." I closed my eyes and opened them again when he turned on the car radio.

"Hey, the driver gets to choose the music," I sighed, slapping her hand away from the dial.
"Well, shouldn't the kidnappee get to choose the music before her captor tortures her to death or locks her in another closet?" Dawn argued with me.
"No. I didn't kidnap you; you came to me willingly. You even fell asleep on me."
"That's because I thought you were someone else!"
"Well, that's not my problem."
"It's my problem when a man with powers won't take me to my own home."
"Fine! If you'll shut up, I'll take you home now." I turned the car around once more, and instead of risking talking to Dawn, I looked up the directions to her house.

[Trots]

"Excuse you? No way I am shutting up. How rude of you to say such things!"
"Alright, we're going back to my house house. That's final."
"Fine!"
"Fine." He looked at me and flicked my forehead with his finger. I glared but kept silent, not wanting to deal with him more than I already am.
"You suck." I groaned. He shrugged and nodded.
"It's true. I do."
"Ew."
"You're the one who took it the wrong way!" He put his hands up in a surrendering motion and I shrieked, grabbing the wheel so he wouldn't crash.

[LilacSky]

"What is wrong with you?" Dawn screamed in my face.
"I had it under control with my magic. It's you that swerved the car by grabbing the wheel; I was steering hands-free."
Dawn glared at me, her cheeks red with anger, embarrassment, and exertion.
"Why do you hate me?" I suddenly asked, taking the wheel back and looking straight ahead. Then I glanced at her with the side of my eye.

[Trots]

"Hate? No. I don't hate you." I shook my head and let go of the wheel. I sat back into my place and looked around. I was too embarrassed to look at him.
"You do hate me. I can tell. Why?"
"Do you remember when we were friends? When we were younger?"
"Yes?"
"That's why."
"What?"
"You know what you did."
"I do?"
"Yes." I groaned and rolled my eyes.

[LilacSky]

"Oh." Suddenly I remembered what I had done. My cheeks burned with humiliation. We had been in the same class at school many years ago. I'd completely forgotten about it until now, but we were the closest of friends, and I was even going to ask her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. I'd bought her an extra-large box of chocolates for Valentine's Day. My family was against candy (which is why I was so thin), so I tried one of the chocolates. What kid wouldn't have? My stomach had soured, but I still brought Dawn the box. As I was handing it to her, I vomited all over her red dress. She hadn't even been grossed out; she'd laughed at me like all the other kids around us. I'd seethed with rage, and then I'd struck her with my magic. That was when I first discovered I had magic. I'd been expelled, and I switched schools. Not that I'd wanted to be near Dawn or the other kids any more. I can't believe me and her had such a deep history of rivalry. I couldn't look her directly in the eye. I felt her eyes on me, but when I turned to look, she was staring out the window. Looks like some things couldn't be helped.
Some people couldn't let go of a grudge.
To my surprise, a tear ran down my cheek. I swiped it away before Dawn could see.

[Trots]

I couldn't. I couldn't believe him. He hurt me that day. More than ever, actually. I had to get 3 surgery's on my heart so I wouldn't die. He almost.. stopped it. He almost killed me. I hate him for that. I always will. My parents became poor trying to save my life, to just after commit suicide because they didn't think i'd live. Once they did, I gained my powers. I'm not sure how, but I felt if they didn't... I wouldn't be where I am today. A hero. I do regret laughing at him that day... it wasn't his fault... I was the bully... it was me. Me. Why do I feel so guilty? He's just a villain that i'll never have to worry about again, right? Well.. that's probably going to change. I looked over to him, barely seeing the tear before he wiped it away. "You okay there?" I raised an eyebrow. He looked at me for a second and shook his head. He felt the tension too. It wasn't a mean tension, though. A tension of guilt.

[LilacSky]

I smiled to hide my true feelings and to ease the tension so thick I couldn't cut it. "I'm fine," I said. "I'm just... sorry. For what I did. It was a huge overreaction. It's not your fault I'm allergic to chocolate. I could have killed you, over you laughing over something literally everyone else around us laughed about. We were friends, and then... I had to ruin everything. I'm sorry."
Dawn looks shocked. I guess she never expected me to apologize. Before she can respond, I say, "Well, we're here." I park the car outside of her house. "You're free to go, my prisoner." I smile grimly, then drop my eyes to my knuckles, white from gripping the steering wheel. She doesn't say anything, and neither do I. I feel like she's going to say something. It's funny how she was so desperate to escape less than an hour ago, and now she's staying in the most awkward silence I've ever endured. Say something, or leave. Please.

[Trots]

His apology made me happy in a way, but I still felt anger running through me. I looked to my small house, and back at him. "Thanks. I accept your apology, also. Just know you aren't off the hook when you go to rob a place. I may say, though, that you know my weakness... get me tired and you win. Sad, I must say. Anyways, I'll see you later. Bye." I opened the door to his car and exited, closing the door behind me. I walked into my home without looking back at him. I needed to call Cody. He wouldn't believe what had just happened. Jeremy's jaw dropped, then he scrambled in his seat to begin to drive off. He didn't expect that. Maybe she trusted him? He felt his body warm up. Stop. He didn't like this feeling that he had as a kid around me. Love. He wanted it gone. He couldn't love me.

[LilacSky]

I laid in my bed. The moon streamed over me from a window above my head. I felt calm, relaxed, at peace, with the stars above me, but I couldn't sleep. Yes, I was relaxed, but I was wide awake. Thinking about Dawn. I had tried to erase that day all those years ago from my memory. I tried to erase her. And it had worked. But then I had started robbing places, and after a couple times she started appearing at my crimes. I hadn't even known it was her. She looked so different than she did, and I didn't even hear her name until a few robberies ago. And even then I thought it was a different Dawn. But it was her all along.
And apparently accepting our past meant accepting my feelings for her.
No. No! She was a hero. I was a villain. We couldn't be together. And not just because heros and villains couldn't be together in books and movies; we had history. And I would become weak if I found myself enjoying her company. In fact, we weren't playing our roles correctly at all. This was not how we were to behave! Why had she not blasted me with her powers after she escaped from the closet? Why had I put her in a closet instead of killing her? Why had I driven her HOME?! No, things had to change. I had to become a better robber. And if she got better at stopping me, then I'd kill her. It was time to let the past go. But in order to do that, you had to face the present.
