Love and Lies
Chapter 4:
“Alexander? What are you doing here?” I asked stunned. I hadn’t seen him since the wedding.
“Well, umm, I heard you were leaving and I wanted to say goodbye.”
“Oh. Well, bye. If Damien sees that you’re here, he’s gonna flip.” Right on cue, Damien walked over to the door.
“What the fuck are you doing here? You fucked with my sister enough!” Damien screamed at Alexander, pushing past me.
“Damien! Stop! Stop!” I cried when Damien charged over to Alexander. I knew this wasn’t going to end well.
“What in the hell-?” My dad didn’t get to finish his sentence. Damien started hitting Alexander as hard as he could. My dad ran over to him and tried to break up the fight, but it was no use. Damien wasn’t going to let up. My mom came over, hearing all the shouting.
“What is happening?” She asked horrified. Just then, my dad was able to pull Damien off of Alexander. His nose was bleeding and he had various cuts all over his body. Damien had a few scratches; it was almost like Alexander didn’t even put up a fight. Damien then brushed himself off and walked up the steps and into the house, pushing past me.
“Damien, wait,” I cried running after him. He just beat the hell out of my ex boyfriend, if he thought he was getting away from me that easily, he was sorely mistaken. I ran up to his room and there he was, sitting on his bed trying to wipe the blood from his scratches. I sat on his bed and took the towel he was using on his hands and pulled him into the bathroom. Once there, I grabbed the first aid kid and started to work.
We sat there in silence for a few minutes while I was cleaning up his hands. Finally he looked at me and said, “Look, I’m sorry. I just couldn’t control myself. Everything I felt at the party came roaring back and it was like it had just happened. It was like I saw him in that closet again with that girl and I just flipped.”
“I know what you mean,” I said looking down at his hands,” It seems like it happened just yesterday. I mean of all things to do to me, he cheats. After he promised me he would wait. And then I find out he has slept with multiple girls our whole relationship and had one other girlfriend.” That’s when the tears came down. “I was so hurt. I still am. It hurts to think about it. He was my world. Damien, he broke my heart,” I say with tears pouring down my face. My brother then gets up and pulls me into a bear hug while whispering, “I got you. Everything will be okay. I’m here for you Els. No matter how far you go away, I will always be with you.”
“Well, umm, I heard you were leaving and I wanted to say goodbye.”
“Oh. Well, bye. If Damien sees that you’re here, he’s gonna flip.” Right on cue, Damien walked over to the door.
