Blood's Ink [Tim Drake love story]

Chapter 35

•4 days later•

       It's been a few days since Tim went with me to the studio and since then he's been very at ease and back to normal with me. I'm happy whatever was stressing him out is no longer a problem for him. It was around lunchtime so I was heading to the kitchen but as I passed Bruce's study I overheard Bruce and the others talking.

"Has she received any more notes recently?" Bruce questioned

"No, not that I've heard of" Tim answered

"Is she still oblivious to what's happening?" Bruce questioned

"Yes and she doesn't ask any questions." Tim answered

"She's aware she's being stalked and doesn't push for questions... Are you sure she's unaware?" Bruce asked undoubtedly raising a brow to Tim

"Yes, she trusts that I'll tell her at the right time and besides she's a bit dense I don't think she'd be able to figure it out on her own," Tim answered confidently and I felt my blood boil and storm back to my room hunger now long forgotten

- - -

       I've been angrily pacing in my room for the past hour as I mentally prepare the argument Tim and I are about to have. It is going to be very calm and mature and we will discuss our concerns like civilized adults.

       I hear a knock on my door and know it's Tim: I continue to pace back and forth in anger until he walks into my room.

"Dense!" I shout at him who stands there in surprise and confusion

"Hayd-"

"You think I'm too dense to know you've been lying to me since day 1... God, I should've known you were going to lie to me you've lied to me ever since we met." I shout to him angrily

'Well there goes calm and civilized...' My conscience chimes in

"Hayden you know that's not true." Tim said rubbing his temples as if he were tired of this conversation already

'You better saddle up because we are just getting started.' I think angrily in my head as I glare at him

"You knew and you didn't tell me!" I shout at him

"Tell you what, Hayden. I don't know what yo-" Tim shouted back until I interrupted his lying

"You knew Joker was the one leaving the notes; You knew I was adopted. You knew all of it and you kept it from me." I say angrily turning away from him and grab my suitcase from the closest and start putting my things in it

"Hayden, what are you doing?" Tim asked exhaustedly

"What does it look like" I spit out not looking at him as I text Jessica for a ride and give her my location

"Hayden please listen to me-"

"I did listen; I listened to all your lies." I say angrily but could feel tears well up in my eyes

'Dammit he can't see me cry' I think to myself trying to force myself to stop crying

"Hayden please just stop packing I'm sorry. I didn't want to worry you." Tim tried to plead as he turned me around

"No, you just didn't want me in the way." I slam the suitcase shut I hear my phone buzz seeing that Jessica arrived I roll my suitcase out and to the exit

"Hayden where are you going?" Tim called after as he chased me out the door

"Doesn't matter but I'm not staying here, goodbye." I say climbing into Jessica's car and she pulls out of the drive in silence letting me cry in silence

       It felt like someone stomped on my heart and ripped it to shreds. I had a feeling of regret as soon as we exited the gates but knew I couldn't turn back now. I will not stand be tried poorly.

"Do you want me to take you to your parents?" Jessica asked

"I don't know my parents" I mumble

"... Umm what?" Jessica trailed out in confusion giving me a very odd look

"Nothing... I'll tell you when we get to my dorm" I mumble and curl up into a ball in the passenger seat

"Oh-kay" Jessica trailed out turned on the radio to listen to some music
