Chapter 7

Chapter 7

    "You kissed her?" Felix angrily cocked his head to the side and began to approach Dexter who remained calm and unintimidated.

    "Yeah, why does it matter to you?" Dexter and Felix stood head to head in a stare down. Dexter was rather large compared to Felix. However, Felix had been in countless fights so his skills were competent.

Felix soon threw his fist in the air and it landed right on Dexter's chin. Infuriated, Dexter tackled Felix knocking him to the ground and gave two swift punches, one on the temple and one on the jaw. Felix then proceeded to kick Dexter off of him. Successfully standing up, both took their fighting stances again. At this point Felix had a busted lip that leaked down his chin and onto the shirt and a bruise near his eye. Dexter wasn't half as bad as Felix, he got off with several bruises and no cuts. 

    "Hey guys!" I attempted to grab their attention. That clearly wasn't working as both of them went at each other.

    "I can't believe you kissed her!" Felix swung his fist jabbing Dexter in the stomach. Dexter grunted, nevertheless it didn't stop him as he went to upper cut Felix. Felix quickly dodged it.

    "Why does it matter? You can't be with her and you know it!" Dexter panted while I walked up to the brawling boys. I grabbed their shirts wrapping them around my fist hoping to pull them apart. When I failed I grabbed onto Felix's arm since he wasn't nearly as strong or as big as Dexter.

    "Exie!" I shouted at the girl still somehow passed out on the couch. "Exie!" I yelled again with Dexter fast approaching Felix. She finally sat up and it took a second for her to process the predicament I'd found myself in. I was sliding on my heels holding Felix back by only a tiny bit. Exie jumped up to help and pushed Dexter to the corner calmly as if it were a boxing match.

    "You shouldn't have kissed her!" Felix yelled from his side of the room toward Dexter and Exie. His face was bright red and his lip remained swollen.

    "Why do you care anyway?" Exie intervened and I immediately gave her a dirty scowl signaling to stay out of it.

    "I don't!" Felix shouted at everyone. "She doesn't matter. She's just some stupid girl," Felix looked at me and shoved me aside. I dropped my arms, the room silenced by his heart shattering words.

    Everything became a blur as tears rapidly fell down my face. My knees became weak and I felt myself start to fall to the floor, but Dexter instantly caught me. I buried my face into his chest soaking his shirt from the tears filled with a broken heart. Dexter's soft hand guided me away from the tragic words that struck at the center of my heart and onto the sofa.

    "I'll just go check on Felix. Hopefully he's just in the bathroom, if not I'll just stay there," Exie awkwardly announced as she left to give Dexter and I space to talk. Talking was the last thing on my mind.

    Pathetic. I was so pathetic and so stupid. I was pathetic for believing in the slightest possibility of sharing anything with Felix. I was pathetic for wailing over someone who wasn't even mine. But more importantly, I was pathetic for falling into the stupid, messed up game known as love.

    "Blaize, will you look at me?" Dexter asked. I wouldn't budge. I shook my head no then buried my face deeper into his shirt. "Please look at me," He pleaded once again. I adjusted my body so he could see my flushed face as he requested. "I love you, Blaize." I cringed at his words. He paused for a moment wiping the tears away. "Stop and just listen to me. Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it. I see your beauty. You are perfect. Although everything has its flaws, all I see is your perfection. I know your hurting from Felix, but please think about giving us a chance. Even if it's not tomorrow, or a month, or a year, I'll wait for you. You need to understand that Felix isn't good for you and he'll never be able to give you what I can." When he was finished talking he softly planted a kiss on top of my forehead.

    I could feel the waterworks beginning to swell and I quickly shut my eyes. Why did I have to complicate things? Why couldn't I just love Dexter? Dexter was so simple, so open, no secrets, so not Felix. No I didn't know Felix's secret. I hadn't the slightest idea of why we could never be, but I wanted to know. Right then and there I had made a decision. I didn't care if I was heartbroken. Perhaps if I had waited I would've chosen differently, but then again maybe not. The heart knows what it wants and I wanted Felix, flaws and all secrets, darkness, and everything that comes with him. I loved Felix and nothing could ever possibly change that. Not the terrifying words Felix had spoken, not the secrets he kept hidden, and certainly not Dexter.
