Unfortunately for Nathan Reala didn't really care whether he believed her or not. She wasn't about to trust someone who got in her way since she was determined to fulfill her promise she made toward her mother. "[b]Believe what you want."[/b] Reala paused as she walked by Nathan then turned around to continue, [b]"I don't really care whether you trust me or not, because I will never trust you after you disgraced me in front of Meira. You can take your trust and put it where the sun doesn't shine. That's what I think of it. Why should I trust you? Just because you saved me? Hah, you just want me to look weak just like any other male who looks at women only for their looks. I am stronger than you and I am capable of more than you. I don't need you. I can do everything myself without your help."[/b] Reala concluded as she pushed Nathan into a wall away from her and decided to go someplace where he wouldn't disturb her. She was tired of listening to his excuses. She was tired of listening to how he didn't trust her or her aunt. Like she cared what he thought. What he thought wouldn't change the fact that man killed her mother in cold blood. It didn't change the fact her mother probably looked down on her for not seizing the opportunity. [b]"Just stay out of my way from now on. Don't even help me for my sister's sake. You are worthless piece of trash I want nothing to do with. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to something I need to do. Do not follow me."[/b] When she heard him talk about how he was going to fight the man in the martial arts tournament, she turned around and gave him a icy gaze before she just walked away. She decided she would just do what she about to do. Not allowing anyone to stop her nor was she about to listen to anyone for that reason. [b]"Why can't she understand that she's not alone? Why can't she understand that her well-being affects others? She's so damn stubborn when it comes to herself. When it comes to her motives, it's near next to impossible to sway her mind."[/b] Meira complained as she could only watch Reala walk away. She didn't understand why Reala refused to trust those who tried to help her. She wanted to remind Reala she wasn't alone and that she didn't need to face everything on her own. [b]"Nathan, Reala didn't mean anything she said. I know it sounds like she did, but she's just angry and very frustrated. Frustrated that she didn't have the strength to overcome her own weaknesses. She sees being injured as a weakness and she is beating herself up over being too weak to overcome the pain she is served by her own recklessness. Please do not think badly of her, she's a good person by heart. It's just that she's very stubborn when it comes to her own health."[/b]
