Who Are You?

#10

The next day wasn't to eventful, I was in bed all day because of my leg, but Dimitri is always by my side. He is always checking on me, even though he has the same cut, his wasn't as bad. He was constantly up and about getting things trying to comfort me. ¨You do know that you shouldn't be up either, right?¨ I inquired.

¨Yes, but you need to be taken care of. You can't get up by yourself. So I will help with anything you need.¨ He replied.

¨Ok, I do need one more thing. You promise to do this one thing for me?¨

¨Yes. What is it?¨ He questioned.

¨Get some sleep. Now, you promised, so you have to do it. You are of no use if you're tired.¨

¨But-¨ He started, but I interrupted.

¨No, no but's. Go get some sleep now, if I need anything I will holler for Lizzie¨ I said with finality in my tone. He knew he didn't have room to argue, so he nodded his head. Before he left, he put his hands on either side of my shoulders.

When he looked at me, he had some emotions in his eyes that I couldn't tell what they were. ¨No, you will holler for me. I want to help, this is our problem not hers. If you need anything, anything at all, you holler for me. Okay?¨

¨Okay.¨ I said. He leaned down and kissed my forehead, leaving a trail of sparks. When he finally pulled away, he took the sparks and the warmth with him. ¨Wait. Um, will you, uh stay with me.¨ I stuttered, then quickly added. ¨I'm scared to be alone.¨ He nodded his head.

¨Of course. And, don't ever be shy about asking me to stay with you.¨ He stated as he quickly to off his shirt and pants so he's only in his boxers, and climbed under the covers. I was only in a sports bra and short shorts, but when our skin touched I felt like my skin was caught on fire. I turned my back to him and began to drift off, when all of sudden he spins me around and pulls me into a bone crushing hug. I hugged him back and my head started to spin from the pleasure and safeness I felt in his arms. Instead of his arms loosening so I could go to sleep on my side of the bed, his arms got tighter and I laid my head on his chest.

I listened to his heart beat and when I was sure he was asleep I gently removed his arms from around my waist and got up to go to the bathroom. I stood in front of the full length mirror and examined my petite body. My brown hair that slowly faded to blonde, and my hazel eyes. I honestly don't see anything special, so why would Dimitri want to take care of me. Why would he even let me stay here. Maybe, it was because of Lizzie, because he liked her. Well, whatever, as long as I get to kill my parent's killer. I stayed there looking at my reflection in disgust and thought about my parents. Why my family? I always asked myself this. I could have been a sister, a good child, responsible, loving, but now, I'm not. I have shielded my heart from ever being able to love again, from ever being broken again. I've made it to where I couldn't get hurt anymore. To where no one could take anything else I loved away. There was only one more person that could be taken away from me and it would hurt. That would be my sister, Lizzie.

I went back into the room and noticed Dimitri was gone. I started to panic, thinking he got hurt again, so I went to search the house. I've searched every room in the house and can't find him anywhere. I went to ask Lizzie if she had seen him go down stairs, but when I walked in, it was like being punched in the stomach repeatedly, then having my heart ripped out. I lied to myself again. I do care about Dimitri, as more than a friend to, but after this, I never want to see either of them again. Dimitri was on top of Lizzie, kissing her like his life depended on it. I gasped and tears started streaming down my face. They broke apart and Dimitri looked as if he'd been slapped. I broke out of my trance and ran out of the room. Defeat and hurt washed across me. ¨Lindsay, please let me explain.¨ Dimitri hollered as I tumbled down the stairs. I literally fell down the stairs, turns out my leg can't hold that much pressure yet.

I got to the bottom and started running out the door. ¨Lindsay, please wait. It's not what you think.¨ He pleaded.

¨Oh, its not. It looked like you were about to fuck my best friend. It hurt's when she can't tell me who she likes. Maybe she should have and I wouldn't be so hurt. No one trusts me enough to tell me anything. Well, guess what you can go fuck yourself. I'm going to find who killed my parents on my own. You work yours out another way, because I'm not helping. I'll be back to pick up my stuff tomorrow.¨ I began to walk off when he started talking. ¨What do you mean no one trusts you. I trust you. Lizzie trusts you. You just have to trust yourself. You know how? Tell me how you feel right now, tell me what you think. Because I didn't kiss her and I sure as hell wasn't going to screw her. Tell me what you're thinking.¨

¨That's a bad choice right there Dimitri. Do you want to know how I feel? Ok then, I feel betrayed by Lizzie because I told her how I felt about you and what'd she do? She turned around and stabbed me in the back. Then, I thought I could trust you, but you go and kiss my 'best friend'.¨ I say using quotes at the end.

¨Wait. How you feel about me? How do you feel about me?¨ He asked.

¨Seriously, that's the only thing you got out of that? Well, you do the math moron, but I'm leaving and I'm not coming back.¨ I ran into the apartment to get my stuff. I was in my room packing when Lizzie came in. ¨Get the fuck out you lying whore.¨ I screamed.

¨Lindsay I'm sorry I know how you felt about him, but I feel that way about him to.¨

¨Then why didn't you tell me instead of lying to me and stabbing me in the back?¨

¨I'm so sorry.¨ She said.

¨Get out.¨ I blurted.

¨What?¨

¨Get out.¨ I seethed. When she didn't move I threw the glass vase on the bed side table at her. She ran out of the room and the vase shattered on the wall. Just then Dimitri came in. His eyes were dark. Dark with what anger? No, anything but anger, it was lust. He stalked towards me and grabbed my waist and pulled me to him. He then cupped my face in his hands and crashed our lips together. I hesitated at first, but then kissed back. He pushed me back on the bed and the kiss became more and more heated. This is amazing. I thought to myself.

Okay, sorry it's short, I didn't have enough time to make it longer. Please comment and vote. Bad things are soon to come.
