BOUNDARIES

Chapter 17

This brotherhood, We're done! This time were really through! He ended as he walked through the door slamming as he left leaving a speechless Demitri string at the closed door absorbing the repercussion of his action

A night of pleasure causing him his best friend

His brother.........

This betrayal was all it took to tip him over the edge. Back into oblivion. His new resolve has crumbled and his reason for change was gone. It was no longer his.

Liam was no longer his. It wasn't until this moment that he realized how much of a difference Liam made in his life, both physical and emotionally.

Liam signified hope and gave him a reason to change in order to be a role model for his son. He wanted to not have his past haunting him or his family when they were older.

He literally re-arranged everything in his life to make room, or make it better for Liam, his mini-him, his son

but all that changed with just a single object...A picture from Demitri's past. That picture changed everything. Who knew that a single picture could break someone's heart, tear away every inch of hope they had remaining to be a better person. The attachment luckily didn't grow stronger because he didn't have a chance to meet him, bask in his presence and develop a bond.

The tears that formed and welled in his eyes at Demetri's has now began to flow like rivers from mountains high, combined with the sting of the harsh night's breeze gave him a feeling of numbness and incompletion. He has lost his baby boy

Driving heartbroken, he wanders aimlessly without a sense of direction or cause . He pulls over at the side of the road and jumps the railing bordering the open field. The dandelions and daisies have closed their petals the sunflowers too hanged their heads. This resembled all he was feeling as he looked out at the night mist covering the colossal field filled with sleeping treasures, totally closed off to the outside world.

He walked with his hands tucked in his back pockets, strolling through the empty field without a soul in sight he allowed the tears to flow. He looked far beyond the erect trees and flowers swaying slowly in the wind fully captivated by the rhythm the wind created. He walked in circles trying to wrap his head around the thought, the idea, wondering if this could all be true. Wondering how he could be so blind to all the signs. He lost all track of time as he became lost in his thoughts.

He checked his phone and realized that it was 11:53 and there were 25 missed calls; 13 from Demitri, 8 from Alli and 4 from his mother . He called his mom and let her know that he'd soon be home and that he was at Demitri's

He had no clue where he was and so he got into his car and filed in his address in the navigation system. He wasn't a far way from home. The directions led him to the gas station and showing him a left turn, which would land him on Abbernathy Drive which is where his school is located. From there he knew his way home. While driving he wiped the tears that had formed and composed himself before entering the house, he knew his mom picks up on everything.

That moment he entered his room and closed the door signified the ending of a chapter of his life. The last leg of a part of his painful journey and his return to a dark part of his immediate past.

That night ended giving way as all nights must to a morning of reckoning, not for Jaylan so much but all for Allison

He lay there in bed staring at the blank ceiling wishing, hoping, BEGGING that sleep would come, unfortunately it just wouldn't. Tormented, bothered, all in all uncomfortable and in a state of anguish he was there alone in the darkness, allowing the loneliness and pain to seep in through the cracks of his heart.
