Second chance reunion

Chapter 5 - Dekota

The first day of school went by without much drama besides miss queen bee telling me to leave her man alone. I just laughed and walked away, if he was ‘her man’ she really needed to do a better job. After school Blain ran up to me in the parking lot and asked if I wanted to hang out with him, I was hesitant at first bust soon decided it wasn’t to bad. So we both got in our cars and I followed him down to the lake. It was a beautiful spot I could see myself just going to to relax and have some peace.

We hung up there for a few hours getting to know each other. Turns out we have quite a bit in common surprisingly, after a while I followed him back home. This became a daily occurrence for when he didn’t have a late training session. For six month we went to the lake mostly everyday even some weekends, he then asked me to be his girlfriend and we were together for 3 years.

Just before his 21st birthday he started acting a bit strangely but I could never get an answer out of him as to why. He didn’t come around as much and was starting to reject my calls. I spoke to his mum and sister but neither had any clue about what was going on either. Everyone had seen a change but no one had an answer for why.

One night I went over whilst I knew he was home just to speak to him and find out if I could get anything out of him. I went over and knocked on the door his mum answered “hey Dekota, he’s up stairs, go on up” I gave her a small smile “thanks Leslie”. Once I got up to his room and opened the door he was just laying on his bed, he looked up a bit surprised “hey babe, what are you doing over here”. I took a good look at him “just wanted to know why you hadn’t replied to my messages or some to see me lately, I know you job is pretty full on but common Blain” my hand on my hip I kinda sassed at him. He looked like a dear caught in headlights and rushed out “I’m sorry, I’ve just had so much going on lately and everything’s just piling up onto of each other. I didn’t mean to not reply” he actually looked sorry, I wasn’t sure what to think. He ended up scooting over on his bed and pat it “come lay down we’ll watch a movie or something. Spend some times together”. I breather a big sigh, I obviously wasn’t getting the answers I wanted at all “fine l, but you have to tell me what going on at some point you know” he looked down at his hands “I know but it’s nothing to worry about right now”.

We sat watching the movie for a while before he leaned over to kiss me, I’ve never been kissed to passionately before. Then one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together .. twice. Soon after he had fallen asleep but I couldn’t bring myself to sleep. I looked over at him sleeping peacefully and swiping some of his hair out of his face. I heard something vibrate and thought it was my phone but it wasn’t when I checked, when I looked over to the other side of the bed I saw Blains phone light up multiple times face down. Curiosity got the best of me so I decided to check it, there were 5 messages all from Gabbie. I didn’t even know he still had her number. With my heart pounding and my throat closing in I opened his phone and read the text. The whole message threat had been deleted bar the top message from Blain reading “can’t talk Dekota is here, I’ll speak later” that was a few hours ago when I got here. She messaged him 5 times in the last 2 minutes “you have to tell her or I’m going to” “don’t you think she deserves to know what you’ve done behind her back or are you just going to keep stringing her along” “common Blain I know she’s not there anymore, reply already” “This isn’t fair to me, you told me you would tell her and you’d be there for me to support me and be with me” my heart was breaking with every message but it was the last one that did it and I left like I couldn’t breath “you have to tell her about the baby !”. In a span of 2 minutes my whole world had come crashing down.

I quickly and silently got dressed and bolted out of his room, lucky no one was awake and I got out of the house unnoticed. I got back to my house and ran up the stairs and cried myself to sleep with my broken heart. The next morning it was a weekend so I didn’t have work and my parents were home, I told them I felt sick and didn’t want anyone to visit and not to allow anyone in no matter who.

I had been ignoring Blains calls and not opening his text messages to the point I turned my phone off. At some stage of me wallowing in self pity my mum knocked on the door “Dekote hunny, Blains at the door and really wants to see you. I told him you were sick but he seems to really need to see you and won’t go” I sighed feeling bad but I couldn’t face him. Not like this “please tell him to go. I don’t want to see anyone”. I heard her sigh on and murmer something to some one on the other side of the door, I’d imagine it was Blain.

After sitting there for what left like ever I decided I was going to do something for myself. I had kept in touch with my best friend from Sydney and messaged her if she had a spare room and wanted some company for a while. She said yes and was so excited, so I booked the next flight out the following day whilst messaging my boss and sort of explaining my situation, luckily she’s a lovely lady and let me have the time off. I packed 2 suitcases and when I went down for dinner with my parents I had told them everything that happened and laid it all out. “I’m so sorry hunny! I can’t believe he would do something like that to you” my mum was crying whilst hugging me. My dad looked like he was about to go over there and murder Blain “dad it’s alright please don’t do anything. This will now give me a chance to find myself again. To know who I am. I’ll be back before you know it” he looked at me “I know Dekota, your a strong girl. One of the strongest I’ve met. Just remember to call every chance you get. I love you” he hugged me and kissed me on the forehead. I went up to bed and in the morning when I woke up I got up early so I wouldn’t have a chance of seeing anyone next door, packed my stuff, got in my car and left. If only I knew what was in store for me then.
