Ethan’s Point of View:
Kion and Leah were firmly asleep on the carpet with a duvet cover over them. They had fallen asleep as we had all been watching The Lion King, something I doubt they would understand anyway but they enjoyed watching the animation. Khayla and I were sitting on the sofa with our original glasses of wine in our hands chatting away about Kion’s mother and Trey.
I found out that Trey was Khayla’s first love. They always say that the first love is the deepest but when you add a child to the equation, it takes it to a whole new level which of course could not be explained.
Kion’s mother was my first true love in the sense that before I had believed I was in love but the way I felt about her meant the others couldn’t have been love. When we had Kion, everything was great, picture perfect. Some people say she changed me but she didn’t. I changed me because I saw the paths that I could walk down more clearly than before. It was easier to pick my child over the streets that had always been good to me. It seemed like Trey hadn’t been on the streets how instead he was always with a girl which damaged Khayla’s heart.
I could see the pain in her eyes and it cut me deeply….
“Are you alright Ethan?”
I had been silent whilst I watched her speak from the beginning telling me everything as though we had known each other for years.
“Yeah yeah I’m fine.”
“Then why are you crying?” I hadn’t even felt any tears drop. I wasn’t one of those guys that show their emotions often but when something touches me and I can relate, I can’t help it so they flowed out.
Khayla reached out her hand as though to brush away my tears. I reached out to touch hers and before I knew it, we were both gazing at each other…
Trey’s Point of View:
“Yes Dami?”
“I just wanted to speak to you alone about the whole Khayla situation and express how sorry I am.”
“Listen Dami, what was done is done. I’m getting over it.”
I got up to walk out because I knew she was going to say something like this. If she didn’t have a boyfriend, we would have proberly ended up in a bed making love by now but instead she is going into some deep ‘heartfelt’ apology that I don’t want or need.
“Trey, I didn’t mean to make you and Khayla break up.”
She may not have meant it but the reality is she did and now look where I am. I could easily go home and pretend I wasn’t lied and betrayed but the reality is that I was. I can’t stand knowing that the one person I love treated me this way. That wasn’t love to me. It was anything but.
Should I go back?
Ethan’s Point of View:
“I’m still in love with Trey.”
“I know you are.”
Khayla had leant in to kiss me and I leant back. I didn’t want to be attached to her like that whilst she was still emotionally with Trey.
“I’m sorry.”
“I know you are.”
“Ethan, say something other than ‘I know you are’.”
“Haha, I’m fine.”
“Good haha.”
Enter the awkward silence. I didn’t know what to say to her. She didn’t know what to say to me. I didn’t want to leave as Kion was asleep in the duvet peacefully and getting him back to sleep wasn’t worth the sacrifice.
“I’m gonna go sleep over there.” I said pointing to the other sofa.
“Alright night Ethan.”
“Night Khayla.”
"I'm sorry."
"About what?"
She smiled at me and left the room so that she could use the bathroom getting ready for bed. As soon as she went in the bathroom , I looked up at the ceiling thinking: Did I do the right thing?
