The Changing{put on hold}

Chapter 11

Demetri's POV:

Me and Jena walk hand in hand towards Mrs Wes' house. As we come closer and closer I feel excitement coursing through my veins. We reach the door and I knock.

Me and Jena stand there blankly staring at the door until Sky's mom opens up.

"Demetri? Jena?" she asks baffled.

"Hey Mrs Wes" I say cheekily.

"I haven't seen you in so long, especially since Skylar has been running off"

I look at her and quickly remember why I stopped by. "Uh, if it isn't any trouble, I'd like to drop of Jena" I ask, growing more nervous by the second.

Her face registers shock and then joy before she responds. "Yes! Of course!" She shrieks.

"Great" I breathe, smiling wide.

She looks down at Jena and something registers on her face.

"Um, Why dont you step inside dear?" she says, turning to me.

I look at her strangely but dont question it. I slowly walk inside my best friends house.

A house I haven't been in since he died.

I trail behind Mrs Wes and into the kitchen.

I suddenly come face to face with him.

Well not face to face, since he hasn't saw me yet, but pretty damn close.

"Demetri, this is Kody" Mrs Wes introduces sweetly, as if I dont already know the dude.

Kody snaps his head up from playing with Jena and immediately blushes. I look at him, absolutely enraged, and it wipes his cocky look right off.

"Look, Demetri, I'm really sorry bro. I totally didn't mean to do that to Ky" he says, rushing his words.

I look at him, disgusted, at his nickname for her. Ky. That sounds so stupid, but it fits for his stupid personality.

"She forgave me Young, why can't you?" he asks when i say nothing.

I laugh cold heartily at his poor excuse. "I'm not Sky, I can tell a bullshit apology from a true one" I spit out, my voice full of venom.

He looks at me with hurt in his eyes as he heavy sighs.

He points his head down and his brown hair flops into his eyes. He looks up at me and whispers in a small voice "It was true".

I almost break at how genuine he sounds. He actually almost looks like he is going to cry. And now I feel like a total bitch.

I stare into his hazel eyes and try to call up all the strength I have to knock him down again. But I can't. And that scares me.

Sky's mother, clearing her throat, pulls me from my thoughts and leaves me feeling embarrassed.

I push past them and hurry to the bathroom.

In the bathroom I stare at myself in the mirror. In the mirror I see the person my mother says I am.

I do not see the person that Sky thinks I am. I see the person who has bruises everywhere. But I see a brave boy who will take his mothers beatings to protect his sister. And I see the brave boy who will not take the benefits from Sky.

I see me; a broken, brave, boy. I'm not special. But I have people who count on me.

As I stare into the mirror I feel my palms sweat. I run my hands along my face and run a hand through my hair.

When I am presentable enough I study myself. I see a tan boy with hazel eyes. I see a boy who has gotten abused for months now, and has hid it from his best friend all that time.

As I am walking down the stairs, back into the kitchen, I hear noises.  Its a very very loud conversation and I know for a fact that its Kody.

Creeping down the stair case I try and listen for more.

"Why are you even here? Just to make me remember? All that crap that we went through?" I suck in a breath and wonder what she's doing here so early.

"Ky please" Kody whines, confirming my guess.

With that I walk, calmly, down the stairs.

A/N: Its currently 2 am here, but I wanted to update anyways! During this chapter, about halfway through, I got this wild feeling. It was all like: What if Demetri was gay? Like what if? But anyways it was just a thought and even if he was gay in this story, it wouldn't be with Kody. But that's all I have to say:)

I love y'all from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much-Sierra
