"I... I'm not leaving without talking to my parents," Axel started, his voice low, but the calm didn't last.
Panic rose almost immediately. "Besides, you want me to leave and then what? Hide for the rest of my life? Or what exactly do you expect me to do once I go into hiding? I'm supposed to leave this place in what- two weeks? A month? Whatever it is. I want to go to college after I leave here, so what do you mean I should go into hiding?"
His breathing grew uneven as the words rushed out.
"So now I'm supposed to throw my entire future away just because I fell in love with someone? Wait, no, is it even just falling in love with him? Or is it because I was actually given him by the Moon Goddess herself? I… I..."
"Axel..." Ivan called quietly, trying to calm him down, but Grey was already gone, he barely heard him.
