BOUNDARIES

Chapter 8- The Truth Revealed.

Washed, consumed, completely devoured by the shame of his gruesome past,Demitri has wandered to and fro. He walked around his car twice with his hands in his pocket and head down while telling Jay all that happened that night.

Dumbstruck, Jay stood there. Searching for words to say and still undecided on which part of the story to focus on.

The breakdowns?

The fact that he didn't trust him enough to tell him about them?

PIxie.... Holland, in that sexy black dress?

The bathroom counter?

Or Holland's disappearing act?

It was a lot to take in and he had absolutely no idea how to react. He just went with the first thing that came to mind....

"Breakdown??, Holland?? Sexy Dress? Gone?" He asked nonplussed, not sure which one he is more curios about.

"Yes breakdowns" Demitri answered as he made his way to the steps leading to the porch and sat down.

Jaylan soon after joined him.

Demitri began explaining all that had led to him having his breakdowns and the means of treatment that he has undergone. It wasn't easy admitting all this to anyone, especially Jay. He has had this skeleton locked up for years hoping that the bones would just disintegrate and disappear, leaving no trace of his horrid medical history. But, the universe had other plans I guess

Jay got up and looked down at him, seeing the obvious expression of relief written all over his friends face and  a feeling of pity welled up inside his heart, knowing that he could have entertained no other feeling at the moment.....

That's until curiosity peeped its unwanted nose around the corner and slowly emerged, knocking all other thoughts away and taking over

" So tell me something, Pixie?" Jay asked, his curiosity now peaked

Mhmmm, I wonder where that came from?

" Yes, that's what she told me" Demitri replied half laughing as he did so

" So where did she go" he questionned

" That's an answer I do not have my friend" he countered, now reflecting on the events of that night and remembering the feelings he had.

This one feeling, well a question rather was constantly popping up an he thought long and hard on it.

" Earth to Demitri" Jay joked, waving his animatedly  hands in the air as though signalling an air force up above.

" I'm here" Demitri finally spoke, jumping from his memories of that night..

" If you want to know more of the story, that's Holland's to tell" He said as he composed himself and walked to the driver's side of his car.

" So we're good?" D asked, with his hands in his hair, rocking on his heels

" Yea man" Jay replied

He made his way up the steps as he watched the car disappear in the distance. He entered his house and closed the door behind him.........
