Chapter 25 Dio’s Journal - Entry 193
Fuck she’s a bitch. I don’t believe a single word Malam said about her not being an addict.
Her behavior continues to be so odd that I don’t know what else could possibly be going on.
The only thing that could explain her behavior is if she’s using.
On top of her odd behavior, she is also a manipulative little bitch.
Even if she’s managed to fool a fucking demon, she’s not fooling me.
I’ll be keeping a closer eye on her from now on.
The plan was that she’d stay behind when we held our record signing.
It was for HER OWN SAFETY and because we couldn’t be distracted by protecting her.
Instead, she went to Reem and begged him to let her go with us.
There were probably tears. I’ve seen her use them to her advantage before.
However she did it, Reem caved. I really need to remember to talk to him about how he handles her.
This giving in is just making things worse for all of us.
We were all distracted by her being there, or at least I know I was. Then, because she didn’t follow orders, she ended up getting trampled by the crowd AGAIN, and I needed to rescue her. It's not like the other guys are physically as capable as I am, so it was a task I reluctantly volunteered for.
To add insult to injury, after we got back to the mansion, Reem and Lent cornered me before I could talk with her and scolded me for how I’d “treated her” when I rescued her. I honestly couldn’t believe they came at me instead of scolding her.
After that, I went out of my way to try to be nice to her, so as to mend things with the other guys.
I even offered to teach her some self-defense.
I’m quite proficient at boxing and thought maybe teaching her some of those skills could help prevent this sort of situation in the future.
I also thought maybe if I got to know her a little, got a little closer to her, I could keep a better eye on her.
It doesn’t matter though, she turned me down. Instead of taking it as the peace offering it was intended to be, she pushed me away and spewed venom about me. She even made it personal.
She is observant, I will give her that. Meanwhile, she has the others wrapped around her little finger, pulling their puppet strings and getting whatever she wants.
I won’t be so easily fooled.
