Tug of War.

The big reveal

After the Dawn if summer Cole and I were inseparable, we seemed to spend every waking moment together, just enjoying each others presences.

His being there made me feel more alive with each breath. He was electric.

We went to eat at the Italian restaurant every Saturday and he took me out on the boat  almost every other day, when we weren't on the water, we were on the land, he taught me how to ride his bike.

apparently I looked 'hot as fuck' on a bike, but I disagreed seeing as my face was no doubt filled with fear all throughout the learning process.

I got to know him, I got to almost see deeper, but he kept his walls up very high.

i would fall asleep in his arms but wake to His absence, that was what I hated. it was those moments of Coles absence that Kent slipped back into my mind.

We hadn't spoken in about 2 weeks and it was odd not to hear his voice.

It was one of my empty mornings. My mind still a dreamy lull, found it's way to my phone and called him.

the phone dialed once and it was voice. his sweet voice. He sounded bored already, but I was relieved to not hear the drunk moans and sobs.

"Hi" he said unamused it would seem.

I was surprised, I was sort of expecting a more enthusiastic greeting.

"Hi" I replied.

"Something wrong Jewels?" he asked bluntly

"um no, sorry I was just checking on you, that's all." I was taken back by his blunt tones.

"Well I'm not a baby, you don't need to check up on me" he confirmed, annoyed.

"Woah asshole, who's the one that cane over to mine in a drunken, no mortal mess asking me to take him home?" I retorted.

"Jewels, thank you for that, really" his tone changed to a more grateful pitch. "But lets not forget who's fault it was" his tone jumped back to the blunt flat.

"Kent." I groaned "that's not fair."

I waited for a response but we sat in silence.

"Okay, I have to go now" he said casually " but take care okay?" he commented sarcastically and hung up leaving me no time to reply.

I sat there in shock. 'what the fuck?' I thought to myself repeatedly. I had done nothing wrong. I was just thrashed by him. what  an idiot. i was furious, I could feel the knot of anger tie in my stomach. God! he was such an idiot. he should be so much more grateful.

I just couldn't believe his attitude.

It ruined my day and made my day all at once, his resilience made me happy because I knew he was okay, he was strong. But to be honest after the anger passed I was left distraught, I missed his essence, I missed our relationship- if you could call it that.

Cole came in through the window and interrupted me in my thoughts, I would have been alarmed but he became a regular, it did sort of worry me that I was never scared of someone coming into my room.

"Hi loser" he said, I could feel him staring at me.

I was in a day dream and replied without moving much "hi loser" I said in a slightly tired tone.

"You really that tired? I mean we did get some sleep last night" he joked, I knew he waited for me to chuckle or flash him a cheeky smile, but I was thinking. of Kent.

Don't worry, we didn't have sex again, in fact we hadn't had sex since the dawn of summer. we'd just cuddle and watch movies, we'd talk about our philosophical views and then talk about the real meaning of spongebob. I enjoyed our late night talks and cuddles.
