"Are you okay?" I said moving towards Xavier as soon as Andreé was out of sight.
"Yeah I'm fine, that bastard got good punches though" he said touching his face.
"I'm so sorry he hasn't been this violent since–it doesn't matter, he wouldn't have done that. Here let me help you" I said helping him get up.
"My mom's a nurse so I know how to stitch that cut on your forehead let's go" I said.
"I have my own personal nurse, I might have to get hurt more often to get this type of attention" he said chuckling.
"Don't get use to it, I'm only doing this because it's my fault you're like this in the first place" I said
"Don't worry about it cupcake" he said squeezing my hand for reassurance.
••••••••••••••
After I stitched him up and spent the rest of the day with Xavier, I left him in his room so he could rest, I went to check on Andreé, because no matter how stupid he is, I still care about him.
I went to his room to see him laying upside down on his bed with all lights off
"Miche is that you?" His voice echoed through the room.
"Who else would it be your big idiot" I said angrily.
"I know that what I did was stupid—" he began.
"No. What you did was wrong. He did nothing wrong. At least when you beat the shit out of Erick he deserved it for being an asshole. But you promised me that you would never fight anyone ever again. You almost killed him that day did you forget that part? He was in a comma for two weeks and you're lucky he woke up and decided not to press charges" I said angrily
"He was on top of you, forcing himself on you, if I wouldn't have broken that lock, he would've raped you and God knows what else. He deserved what he got that day. He didn't press charges because there were too many witnesses at the party who saw what happened and you threatened to file a report for sexual harassment if he did.Don't try to justify his actions" he said angrily, I could feel him close to me now.
"I am NOT justifying what he did. You don't know what I had to go through. Feeling weak and helpless. I'm lucky that unlike many other girls around the world, I was saved. You saved me that day, but understand that you almost killed another human being that day, and it would've made you just as horrible as he was. You are just like everybody else. We are all flawed, no one is perfect. Don't it take upon yourself to bring justice to a world full of corruption, because one day you'll wake up and won't recognize the person you see. So don't change who you are in a quest for trying to change the world, because then the world would loose one of the very few wonderful men that are left in this world." I said fiercely staring at the darkness in front of me.
"You're my favorite feminist in the world" he said quietly while hugging me tightly.
"I'm the only feminist you know. You can't protect me forever, and you have to learn to be okay with being friends. I was in love with you once, we both were, but I love you today, I'm not in love with you anymore. What we had was beautiful, and I loved you so much, but I have to be honest with you, it's not gonna happen. You have to move on and date someone who wants to be with you just as much you do, who loves you just as much, and is willing to go that extra mile for you. But I am not that person and you Dreé, deserve so much more" I said grabbing his hand squeezing it.
"I know, I guess I just needed to hear it coming from you" He said kissing my forehead softly.
"I'm sorry things couldn't work out between us" I said sadly.
"Me too. We would've been one hell of a couple" he said hugging me tightly.
"I love you" I said
"I love you too M." He said softly.

We stayed holding each other in darkness for what seem like an eternity, neither of us letting go, but when we did, it was as if we were silently agreeing to let each other's souls wander freely to the world.
