She wouldnt tell him, but he had ways to figure out who took them. "Dont worry i will help Nico find out who took them just to prove to you how dodgey all this is." He folded his arms. There was definatly something missing to this story. Kayla didnt have all the facts.
"If i were him kayla, and pictures of me, questionable ones at that, were thrust into my face, i wouldnt know what to say either. But hey Nico's a flirt so why not throw him to the lions when someone is out to get him." He let the sarcasim overflow with that last sentence. Maddox couldnt believe Kayla.
Maddox listend. Obviously this pained kayla to even think about. But she still didnt give Nico the proper chance, even if she said she did. It was all to much for him to comprehend right now. He hadnt trust Nico until after their duel. Maddox knew how much he loved Kayla, how hard it was for Nico to even talk about kayla to maddox. "I trust him now. I feel it in my bones Kayla. I understand that you were hurt badly. I would have been too. But did you ever consider, and i know that i have said this already, that he has enemies that you dont know about that are out to get him. Did the person that took these pictures know who Nico was?" He could tell Kayla's tears were genuine. He wanted to comfort her, but he knew that he couldnt. He had to stick up for Nico no matter what. Succumbing to her emotions wasnt going to happen.
Maddox looked at kayla bewildered. "Do you seriously not see the dodgey-ness in this story Kayla? I'm sure that if anyone had a problem with me, they would try to get my girlfriend out of the way first. Rip your heart out then go for the kill. Sounds like someone from Durmstrang to me. But you wouldnt know about that place." He glared, "As for anna, I've already said this, but i do believe, shes just a rebound." He folded his arms.
"Damnit Maddox" Kayla snapped in anger. "I understand more than you think. Our families run in very similar circles, so I know very well how they work. I know why we kept our relationship a secret and was completely understanding about it and never once did I complain about it" she was absolutely fuming now for him to dare suggest that she was being selfish. "You have no idea what I'm just about to put myself through to keep Nicholai out of trouble and we're not even together anymore. That's how much I care and love him...still" Kayla gripped the hilt of her wand, she hadn't been this angry in a very long time. Not that she was going to use it but it was like a security blanket for her.
Kayla listened to the rest of what Maddox had to say and she just felt utter despair. "You just don't get it do you" she raged. "The pictures showed that Nico was being more than friendly with these girls. To me flirting with someone is a wink of the eye, a flirtatious smile or perhaps a remark, that I can handle and I did. But what I saw in those photos was way beyond flirting to me. He was sitting so close to them and touching them" she shook her head as more tears rolled down her face. "Maybe you and Nico, think that sort of stuff is innocent but I don't and that seems to be the difference."
She almost laughed when Maddox made the comment about having enemies. Yeah well she knew all about that, god what happened to being just a normal teenager. She had spent almost three months behind bars because she had done something her grandmother had blackmailed her into and in a turn of events she had managed to then put her grandmother In Azkaban for life and swindle her out of her fortune. So not only did she have school to cope with, she also had Rosa's business affairs and every crook and low life in the wizarding world trying to take her down so that they could get a piece of the business. So yeah, she knew all about having enemies and now she had Nicholai's uncle demanding a meeting with her...hence the occulmency lesson's with Professor Carracio.
Kayla was so close to falling apart, the tears were still streaming down her face. "I just don't know what to believe anymore Maddox. He kept telling me that he would end up hurting me, so when I saw the photos it was as though the prediction had come true" she didn't want to talk about it anymore, what she wanted was to lie down on her bed and stay there forever. She opened her mouth to tell Maddox who took the pictures but then closed it again, maybe she should talk to Zeph again. Kayla didn't want to be responsible for Nicholai and Maddox huting him down if he was innocent. But then what if Nicholai was innocent? She groaned softly as everything Maddox, Eva, Nikki and Zeph had said to her, it was all in a jumbled mess and it was making her more confused and more upset by the minute.
"I'm going to talk to the person who took the photos again and if I don't get a satisfactory answer out of them. Then I will tell you who it is. Is thatfair enough Maddox?" Kayla asked him as she wiped her eyes with her hand.
