In His Eyes Chapter Twelve
-

It’s been a month since Dimitri and I broke things off. At first I thought that it would last a day or two or ever weeks, but a month later I realized that it was really over. Chris scolded me about the break up and I just listened. I didn’t understand why everyone was looking at me like I was the bad guy. I admit that it hurt me deeply to hurt Dimitri like that, but I wasn’t going to be part of his pity party anymore.

Dimitri didn’t need someone to hold his hand and walk him through the bad times. He needed someone that would be willing to speak up and put him in his place from time to time. But of course no one understood that and now I was the bad guy in all of this.

Including Dimitri’s brother in law thought I was the worst at first. He had come to my house the day after the fight I had with Dimitri. I didn’t know who he was until he told me himself. I guess I had never actually asked Dimitri to introduce me to his loved ones.

I felt like an ass for that.

Drake had come to my house to talk to me, but I could sense that he wanted to yell at me more than actual conversation.

“I know why you’re here, so let me cut to the chase. Dimitri needed someone to tell him off.”

I could feel his disagreement from across the room. Being blind gave me the advantage of feeling the aura around someone. I could tell when someone was mad, sad, or even remotely turned on. That day at the library, Dimitri had been a mixture of emotions but one I could pin point rapidly was the sadness he felt. It crushed my heart but I had to do what I had to do.

“Dimitri needs someone to love him and be there for him. If that person’s not you then-“

I cut him off, “I love Dimitri. I really do love him; it was like love at first sight, or in my case at first encounter.” I chuckled to myself as I remembered how we met and his first reaction to me being blind.

I heard rustle of clothing and I assumed Drake was taking off his jacket. He was making himself more comfortable, which meant this talk was going to be a long one.

“If you love him, then why did you break things off with him?” His tone was challenging but it didn’t scare me.

I sat back on the couch and sighed, “Dimitri was hurt because of what happened with Nick. I know it happened a while ago, but you better than anyone must know that your brother-in-law can hold grudges better than anyone.”

“That’s true, but still… you should have fought for him.”

“I didn’t know there was a competition to win him over.”

We were quiet and I could tell that he was trying to think of what to say next. Drake seemed like a nice guy, he cared about his family or else he wouldn’t be here practically telling me off. I smiled and leaned forward, placing my cane on the floor next to me.

“Drake, I know Dimitri and trust me that he needed some time alone. His wounds hadn’t healed yet and although I wanted to be the one to heal them, I wasn’t going to put myself in the line of fire. He’s got issues and so do I, so this time apart might help us understand what it is we both want.”

Drake sighed, “He’s the same as his brother. Micah… do you really love him?”

My heart fluttered in my chest at Drake’s question. Did I really love Dimitri? If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be so heart broken at the moment.
