Breaking Them Up (BoyxBoy) (On Hold Forever)

Finding Each Other :::6:::

*Damien’s POV*

　

Smoking. Not a great habit. But neither was obsessing over your ex or spending half your free time kn a graveyard talking to someone who had long since passed on. I inhaled sharply, then dropped the cigarette to the ground and pivoted my heel on it. It was freezing and I couldn’t stall going inside forever.

Yes, I was back. Kyle had been angry last night, and as scary as that’d been, it was an emotion. He could try to conceal and mute all he’d like but it was an emotion just the same. In heaven or hell Karen must be laughing up at my pitifulness, she’d never had much sympathy for my infatuation with guys I couldn’t have. Guys that had more loyalties to her than me.

“Karen, how’d you even die?” So much I didn’t know. My mind ran trhough clichés like sand runs through fingers. A drive by shooting would’ve made the news, as would a car accident. Unless someone had asked the newspaper not to print a story about it, but who would? As far as I knew her parents had little involvment with their now deceased daugher.

I considered barging in when I got to the door, but decided against it. It was only Kyle and Dallas in there, and Kyle would have no problem kicking me out if I pushed his temper to far. So I knocked and waited, the wind nipping at the tips of my ears. I was then surprised to see who opened the door.

“I thought you and your aunt went home?” I raised a curious eyebrow.

Abby stepped out and shut the door behind her. Her face was like that first time she’d come to talk to me-angered and closed. “We’re leaving right now. We’ll be back this weekend, but we do have lives. What I’m more interested in, is what the fuck did you do to Kyle?”

“Umm… what?”

She crossed her arms “Play dumb and I might consider punching you for his sake. I haven’ seen him this upset since he first moved in with Aunt Rose” her face was grim, mine was trying to conceal joy. Upset? He’d been upset?

…. My god I was an awful person. But still.

“What do you mean, upset?”

She seemed to reconsider, knowing Kyle didn’t follow a normal human beings guidelines of upset “Distant. Moody. Brooding. You did something, and you better tell me what or I’m not letting you in. and then, you better apoligize” I looked at her bare feet and arms, and knew she was related to Kyle. Only someone with his blood could step out into the snow that exposed and refuse to shiver by pure power of will.

“I don’t think I did anything though. Someone important to him just died-maybe he’s coming to te-”

“No. He’s upset about Karen, obviously, and nervous about Dallas but this is exactly like when I first meet him. What’d you do? What happned yesterday?”

“Oh, well…” I didn’t want to repeat the selfish things I’d said yesterday “He, umm, kicked me out”

“Okay? Care to say why he kicked you out?”

“I umm… starting talking about the break-up and how hurt I’d been that he hadn’t cared and stuff…” I trailed off mumbling, watching the words sink in. The slap stung my face before I saw her raise her hand. I was knocked a step back by the unexpected force and stood there, blinking and shocked.

“You… You… you asshole!”

“What?! What the fuck was that for?!” I cradle my now injured face.

“I can’t believe you! Do you know Kyle at all you dumbass? Obviously he cared! What’d you expect? He’d cry and tell you how much you hurt him?! You stupid, stupid boy! Kyle would never do that!”
