The Eyes Have Me

Chapter 5

An hour later, we arrive at the movie theater where we buy the tickets for the movie 'Dog' starring Channing Tatum. Mylo and Callie buy themselves snacks and drinks while Axel and I just buy a drink each.

Heading into the theater, i suddenly stop in my movements when I fucking swear I see Abel walking over to a row of seats with a man around his age.

"Arrow, what is the matter?" Callie worriedly asks when she realizes I am not with them.

"I swear I am looking at my brother, but it isn't possible since he is a Blue," I stammer with wide eyes as I focus on my friends.

"Where? Point him out," Mylo gently demands as he looks around like he knows what Abel looks like even thought he does not.

Focusing on the man again, I point him out to the three of them; "Him."

They look over at him as Axel says; "Go talk to him."

Taking a split second to decide, I hand my drink cup to Mylo quickly before speed walking over to the man while dodging other people.

Stopping in the man's right side, I study his profile as I say; "Hey!"

The man turns his face toward me, and our eyes widen in shock at the sight of each other, and we both say; "Oh, fuck!"

We are starring intently at each other, and I am starring intently into my brother's Red eyes.

"Arrow, is that really you?" he asks with a thick voice, and I swear his eyes are glossy with tears as are mine.

Silently nodding as I know I can't speak around the lump in my throat. He surges to his feet to engulf me in a tight, bone crushing hug.

"How the hell?" I brokenly ask into his necks as we cling to each other tightly.

"My eyes turned Red a couple of days ago, a late in life change," he mumbles against my shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask, hurt leaking through my voice as I quickly blink back tears.

"I left home in a rush, and I was waiting for the next time we spoke," he replies as we pull apart.

"Are you here with anyone," I ask, glancing at the man next to his seat.

"I am here with Kade," Abel answers, gesturing with his head toward the guy who is sitting next to him.

"Why don't you guys join me and my friends?" I eagerly ask them.

Abel looks down at his friend, who nods in agreement, and he stands for them to follow me over to my friends. My friends have found seats near where I left them. Sitting down next to Axel, Abel on my free side, and Kade on his free side. I don't get a chance to introduce everyone until the end of the movie since the previews started within seconds of us sitting down.

Once we are out of the building? I introduce everyone; "Abel, these are my friends Callie, Mylo, and Axel. Guys, this is my brother Abel, and his friend Kade."

They kindly greet each other before Callie bluntly asks Abel; "I thought your eyes were Blue?"

"I was until a couple of days ago, I am a late changer," Abel replies, not fazed by Callie's bluntness.

"Rare, but not unheard of," Axel comments with a nod.

"Do you guys want to join us for dinner?" Mylo kindly offers ti Abel and Kade.

Kade and Abel look at each other for a few seconds before Kade nods in agreement to Abel before Abel verbally agrees to the offer. They follow us in Abel's vehicle to the restaurant where we get a table big enough for the six of us.

"Will you be moving to where I live?" I hopefully ask Abel after we order our food.

"Actually, I will because Kade and I were talking about moving to a new town yesterday," Abel grins at me.

Dancing in my seat with the goofiest grin on my lips; "Awesome, when?"

Everyone at our table lightly laugh as Abel answers; "Within the month is the plan. We just need to figure out where we are moving, and figure a few other things out."

The rest of dinner, I feel lighter, and I can't wipe the smile off my face which I don't want to either.

"Did you leave mum and dad a note when you left home?" I softly ask Abel as we stand in the parking lot at our vehicles before we leave for our homes.

"Yeah, I left them a note, too," Abel admits with a frown.

We are silent for a few minutes before we tightly hug each other before separating to head home. The entire ride home, I remain silent as I take in everything from tonight. Thankfully my friends leave me alone during the car ride, I can see Axel from the corner of my eye glancing at me occasionally as if he is making sure I am okay.

When we arrive home, Callie turns in her seat up front with Mylo to look at me intently; "How is Abel and Kade going to know where we live for them to move to our town?"

"I told Abel where we live while you were in the bathroom before we went to the parking lot," I tell her with a smirk.

She nods as she grins back at me; "I am so happy for you, Arrow. I am sure it had been hard not having someone from your old life here with you."

I nod once with a slightly unfocused expression; "Yeah, it has been difficult, but you guys and Mr Brown have made it easier."

"Now you will have Abel here with you along with us, too," Mylo grins broadly, and I grin broadly at him.

"You guys are the best, you know this, right?" I comment, my voice leaking with raw emotion.

Leaving the vehicle in a rush to avoid any further display of emotion, I rush inside the Inn. A horrible move, I know, but it is what it is.
