Indifference:: Goodnight Metri, Goodmorning Ithic



The next thing I knew, I saw Metri dragging two matresses down the stairs. He pulled them over slowly and then seemed out of breath when he laid them on the ground. You'd think he was strong enough to carry mattresses downstairs if he can make a person shaped hole in the wall… Both times he came down with a mattress, and then again when he brought blankets and pillows, he would scowl at Ithic.


Ithic was still hurt pretty bad; he was barely able to stand up. I was still angrier than ever at Metri, but I was now following the rule Alexander had when I was little. He always told me when I was angry to write down all the things that made you angry, and tear it up in front of the person. It might not have been the best tool to use when I was five, but it worked right now. Everytime Metri can down the stairs, at least a paragraph was added to my list.


Ithic limped from his comfy position on his bed to where I was sitting and writing my anger out. "Ailee…I'm sorry about yesterday. About…Hurting you like that…"


"You didn't, the news did, but that wasn't your fault."


His smile was back. I missed it. "I just didn't want you to find out that way…especially with Cosheen in the room. It would've hurt too much… I don't ever want to see you get hurt like that, or at all."


I yawned and we both laughed. My face flushed a little; I wasn't completely of the undead yet. "I guess even after my little nap earlier, I'm still really sleepy…" The way he looked at me made my face even redder. He touched my cheeks and smiled as I ducked my head to cover them up. My hair fell over my left eye even more.


"Why don't you show your face more?" he asked, tilting my head and making me look at him. He brushed my hair out of my face softly, revealing a scar and a bloody mess of an eye that I'd gotten when I was only six years old. The moment gave me flashbacks, but I quickly shook them away.


Ithic's breath shook as he spoke, "Who…Who did this to you? He asked me. I was ashamed. I didn't want to answer him. I didn't want to tell that secret to anyone…it hurt too much.


But…I trusted Ithic. Trusted him far more than anyone at this moment in time. Everyone I knew broke my trust by keeping this secret from me. "My…mother…" I turned my head quickly, tears beginning to form in the back of my working eye. I was scared to make eye contact, if it could be called that. "With a knife…she just drew it across my face…told me I'd forgive her someday…" That day would never come, I was sure.


"Ailee, I think you look gorgeous. With or without an eye." Suddenly, I was taken over by an urge that had been growing since I'd met Ithic. I look into his bright golden eyes and leaned forward…


And I kissed him.


Less than a second into the kiss, Metri showed up with more bedding. He was sobbing. "Why did you…why didn't I know about this Ailee? I've been your best and only friend for more than five years! I was here for you, when no one wanted anything to do with you! And now you're kissing this… this monster! This thing!"


He tossed the pillow at the Ithic shaped hole in the wall and walked over to me, screaming in my face about how he was always there for me when I needed someone, and how I only met this thing, god, it ticked me off when he said that, and we were already together. I sat through the entire thing silently and when I'd had enough, lifted the angry letter in front of him, and ripped it to shreds, throwing them all around the room.


Ithic looked at me saddened as Metri stopped yelling and unclenched his fists. Metri knew about my ritual of when I get angry, but I'd never used it on him before. He knew I was  serious this time. He looked at a clock hanging on the wall that I hadn't noticed before, then at the floor. "I…guess I'd better go to bed." He quickly turned around and laid down on the mattress next to mine. I knew he wasn't going to sleep, but I said nothing.


Without another word Ithic kissed my cheek and we laid down on our separate beds.


***


I awoke in the basement completely alone. I rolled over and where Metri was sleeping laid two notes. The first note was the anger letter that I had torn to shreds. I couldn't believe he'd taped it all back together. It must've taken him all night to put back together. The second note was from Metri. It read:



"I'm sorry for hurting you…I never should have done that. It was stupid of me… Whatever you want, whoever you want, I'll be right behind. I promise


-Metri
