REVELATIONS

I just stood there. I could only imagine the picture I must have made, my eyes downcast, a rosy hue tainting my cheeks, my mouth probably hanging open in shock. I watched as he turned and left, my gaze following his every movement. From the cascading waterfall of navy hair that fell over his shoulders and tumbled down his back as it was freed from its binding to the gentle sway of his almost feminine hips, I stood transfixed. My eyes followed that movement back and forward until he disappeared through the open door that led back into the house. I suddenly shook my head, 'what they hell is happening to me.'

His words resounded in my head, "It's not everyday that you raise your hand against one of your own." What he said rang true. I knew that I was a jerk, a selfish, heartless cold bastard - apparently - most of the time, and I had never felt anything but indifference. I have never ever cared about what others thought of me. I never had any friends, not real one anyway. I never had anyone befriend me and want nothing but my friendship in return. I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing that I knew; the one thing that I was truly skilled in; the art of pushing people away. I became even more recluse, withdrawn, silent, sullen and whatever else you would like to call it I attempted it and I succeeded. I betrayed them, all of them. And what did they do welcome me back with open arms. Ok so not *all* of them - apparently.

When we were in Russia, I left them and what did Tyson do? The stupid boy came after me. After all I did to push the Bladebreakers away he had to come and ruin it. And I sealed the deal by reaching for his outstretched hand. By accepting his help I had let myself down, my barriers were broken and my walls - all that I had set up to protect myself were in fast need of repairs. So I started up again. I withdrew from the Bladebreakers, I excluded myself from their fun and I thought it was working. Boy, was I wrong, Tyson is one persistent young guy. And what had I done, in an effort to close myself off again, I had pushed away, I had hurt him and he now had the bruises to show for it. I have never felt so ashamed in my entire life than I did when he looked at me with sad smoky eyes just now.

"Tell me what it is that I do not see. What am I blind to?" I had demanded of the smaller boy.

He had sighed a deep sigh and whispered in an almost hoarse voice, "Many, many things I'm afraid. Forget it Kai, forget all of it." And then he had walked away from me.

He left me to stew over his last words and stew is exactly what I did. "What the hell does that mean," I called after him, knowing full well that I would never get an answer since no one had even heard the question bar me. And it was a question that kept repeating itself over and over in my head.

"I'll tell you what it means you prick."

I whirled around to the voice, my heart racing at what I saw.
