AN: haha its been so long since I last continued this that I don't even have the first 7 chapters, or any of this fic on this computer… its all still on my old one XD well I thought I should probably finish it, or at least update so here's the 8th chapter lets see what you think
..
…
…Claude's POV…
"Don't' dwell on it…"
That's what Kai told me but how can I not dwell on it? Didn't he also dwell on Brooklyn's decision or did he just say such a thing for my sake? I sigh and roll round in the bed until I can comfortably look out the window at the blue sky of a new day; the rains have stopped. The bright blue skies sadly do nothing to lift my spirit only making me wish for the storm clouds once more; a miserable rainy day to fit my mood. I get up for lack of anything better to do and peer out the bedroom door and at the rest of the apartment; it doesn't seem like Kai's home yet.
I walk slowly and purposelessly over to the window before leaning against the frame and looking out over the rest of the buildings towards the thin stretch of ocean on the horizon; did Kai really lead me all that way. I never realized it was this far, from here to the beach… before all… before all of this the four of us used to meet up and go down to the beach; a double date is what Matilda always called it. We all used to do lots of things like that, I usually suggested them and the others just seemed happy to go along with it besides Kai who never seemed to want to go anywhere unless it was on one of these double dates.
I wipe away the tears that threaten to flow freely before opening the window and allowing the breeze the flow into the room as I try to relax and forget. It's useless, I can't forget even though its clear that there will never be anything I can do to go back or to change how things have turned out; I cant stop feeling the pain. I hold my hand outside the window and look up, approaching from behind the apartment building are rain clouds.
"I've brought your thing's; its been decided that you can live here now if that's what you want,"
I quickly look over my shoulder to see Kai standing in the doorway leaning on the frame; at his feet are the two bags I had used to move into my other apartment…I nod my thanks not sure if I could make out the words; this was just another reminder that it was all over.
"There's a towel for you in the bathroom, now shower and get changed," Kai told me in a blunt and to the point manner and I watched him turn and walk out into the other room before hurrying to do what he said; I don't now why but it seemed to take my mind off of everything even if it was only for a brief moment.
…Kai's POV…
I sat down on the couch momentarily listening to the sound of the shower starting up before looking out the window; Brooklyn's words echoing around my head. I found myself smirking, Brooklyn spoke the truth; that was the only explanation I could come up with because deep down I know that it is true. When I look back now its more obvious making me wonder why I reacted how I did in the first place when for weeks there was no emotional love between us; we just were. I know that now for a fact, on both our parts we knew we were just together because we had always been together; we were both looking for a way out. It's just taken me longer to realize it though it explains why I was never really angry with Brooklyn; by hooking up with Miguel he had freed me.
Though what about Claude? I know what all this means to me, like Miguel had become Brooklyn's new interest all those weeks ago, deep down Claude had become my own which added an explanation as to why Brooklyn and I would only ever 'go out' on a double date with those two. I know why I so easily agreed to watch over him and have him move in with me but unlike Miguel, Claude didn't decide to end things to be with me. That's one of the main differences with mine and Brooklyn's situation; he won't be a rebound.
