Heart Of Obsidian *COMPLETED*

Chapter 37

*MYLES*

"Myles, you're very quiet today?" Mrs. Fischer asked as I stared at the ceiling. My thoughts were of Atticus and how it hurt me seeing him kissing her. The imaged was imprinted inside my head, it was like a knife stabbing me constantly. Atticus and I never officially said we were together but saying I loved him made it official right? I was giving him time to adjust to this lifestyle but I was being shadowed. I love being with him but I didn't like being outcasted in his shadows. I'm not sure what's going to happen with us but I know I will have to face him. He texted me that he landed and he will be at my house tonight.

I agreed but I know if I see him, I'm going to give in to his words, his gaze, his touch, and his kisses. I know I needed him but I don't want him to choose between me or his career. I can't be greedy, he's worked so hard to where he's at. I just can't stop him and long-distance relationships are hard work. I'm not sure if I can do it. I'm still vulnerable and broken, he completes me. I feel more alive and happier but right now, I feel a tear inside my heart. I can't seem to get that image out of my head.

"Myles?" Mrs. Fischer said once more.

"I'm sorry, I have a lot on my mind."

"Care to elaborate? You've been doing so good and now I feel like you're going backward, you can trust me."

I did trust Mrs. Fischer, she's helped me so much, without her patience, I would probably still be stuck in my dark world.

"Long story short, I caught Atticus kissing his ex. I just can't seem to get that image out of my mind. It hurts to think about it, let alone talk about it. I'm just hurt. She's an evil woman."

"Has he told you his side of the story?" She asked as I heard her jot down on her notepad.

"I haven't talked to him yet. I don't know what to say. I feel cheated on."

"There are always two sides to a story. He's helped you so much from what I remember you telling me. Maybe it wasn't him, sometimes people do things to feel good about themselves, and yes I'm talking about his ex," she emphasized ex.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Atticus has helped you come out of a traumatic event, that speaks volume. Maybe the ex knew you were coming and wanted to hurt you. This ex of his is not happy with her life and will do anything to make everyone around her miserable. I suggest that you talk to Atticus and get his version, don't let a good person out of your life, he made a mistake but who doesn't. We aren't perfect, not even me," her words gave me life. I sat up and glanced at her. I faintly smiled at her as I looked at my watch.

"Looks like our time is up," she said with a smirk.

"Thank you, Mrs. Fischer," she smiled as I got up and left the building. I quickly went home and took a shower. I took my medication to calm my anxiety and nerves. I still felt a prick in my heart but I needed to hear his version and what is going to happen with us? I didn't want to lose him but I didn't want to be hidden in our relationship. I laid in bed and closed my eyes, the medication soothed my thoughts as I took a quick nap.

I heard a gentle knock on my door when I jolted up. My room was fully dark. I hadn't opened my curtains when I got home so I couldn't see anything, only the fluorescent blue light of my digital clock, 7:30 pm. "Shit!" I got up and quickly opened the door.

"Sweetie, Atticus is waiting for you in the living room. I'm making dinner so ask him to stay," she smiled as I nodded. I quickly went to my bathroom and washed my face then my mouth. I walked downstairs as I slowly walked into the living room, where he was sitting by himself as he watched television. He looked so damn sexy in his leather jacket. He glanced at me as he jumped up.
