"Oh Anita! I didn't know that's what you were going through" were Dimitri's first words when I finished telling my story. I'm starting to not hate this guy by only a fraction. He's not like Zayn. He's more matured than Zayn. Or he acts more mature than Zayn.

"So tell me your story" I say.

"Oh right but I still can't believe you've never cried"

"I've cried, I just haven't cried in four fucking years"

"Oh! But why's your dad such a jerk?"
"You're one to talk, have you forgotten what you did to me back then?"

He stiffened as I said this and I smirked.
"Anita, please forgive me. But you have to understand I was going through a phase"
Oh believe me I do but I'm not ready to let him see that.
"Why don't you make me understand".
He closes his eyes and inhales deeply.

"When I was little, we had all the good things a child could ever hope for and more. We were and we still are wealthy. Fucking wealthy. But my mum came from a poor background, so she taught us how to be humble.

Even when Nina and I were in kindergarten, we never got carried away with our money, we never mingled with the rich snobby kids, instead we associated more with the less privilege ones. The rich kids always made fun of me but Nina messed them up.

She is more of a tomboy you see, where I am weak she is strong, she's my better half. When I entered the secondary school, I vowed to eradicate bullying but then...my parents died in a car accident"

He paused and looked at me.
"Oh", was all I could manage. I definitely don't feel sorry nor do I know how it feels. He just smiles. I felt something in my chest. My head begins to spin but I manage to still keep a clear view.

Hug him! Hug him!

Something keeps telling me. I leaned in and pulled him closer for a hug. I inhale his minty scent. He hesitates before he finally hugs me. He hugs me so tight as if afraid I'm going to just vanish.

Immediately our body comes in contact, my head stops spinning. That's weird. I thought

I immediately release the hug! This isn't the plan. I mentally scold myself.

" Go on" I say after breaking the hug.

"They died because of me you know. You see Nina and I aren't the regular twins. My mum went into labour for one hour before giving birth to Nina on the 21st of March 11:10pm and went into another labour before giving birth to me on the 22nd ofMarch 12:19am".

"Hold up! So you're saying you were born on the 22nd March 12:19am?" I say, having to interrupt the story.
"Yeah, I know right?"
"Yeah, do you know what this means?"

I ask grinning from ear to ear.
"Yes I do" he says also grinning

"We are birth mates!" I squeal as I jump on his bed.

"What year were you born?" I have to ask again.
"2000 and..."

"Oh come on! You're going to give me a heart attack" I say feigning hurt as I place a hand on my chest. He just giggles

"2003"

I nearly faint. We are birth mates. Even though I was born a minute after him.
"But I'm older than you", he says pouting.
"So? With just one minute? It doesn't count", I counter
"In some clocks it would have been two minutes".
"It could as well be the same in some other clocks"
"You won't just let me have it?"
I vigorously shake my head and we both start laughing.

I shouldn't be laughing with him.

" Go on, I want to know what happened to the carefree Dimitri"

"So, on the 22nd March 2014, my parents went out to go get me a piano like I had insisted. I love music you see. And by then I had all the instruments except a piano. They had already got the piano and were on their way back when a big truck ran into them and they fell over the bridge and into the river. The piano survived but they didn't.

I am still baffled to this day as to how the piano survived

I cursed myself for that and I haven't celebrated a single birthday since then or played an instrument. When we got back from our summer holidays then in high school, I thought I was going to get bullied, so instead of being bullied, I decided to bully. That day you came out of the restroom, I knew who you were.

I knew you were Anita Reeves. The prettiest girl in school. I wanted you, I needed you but you were so closed off. I tried to get your attention but you never paid me or anyone else for that matter any attention. I was pissed with you.

So I did the first thing that came to my fucking mind. Bully you. It was the only way to get your attention and it worked. But I made sure that no one else did. Even Vivian tried to get her revenge back on you for turning her request of joining her clique down.

When I discovered you have gone to college, I had to find out the name of the college and apply. I studied so hard to get into the college so I could just be seeing you but still you wouldn't even stare at me or acknowledge my presence.

I'm in love with you Anita. Heck I've been in love with you ever since first grade. Not just your body or physical attributes, but your charisma, personality and you always seem to have this happy aura that surrounds you. Even though you were lonely, you seemed happy.

And your intelligence was...is an added advantage. So Anita please will you forgive me. I know you can never love me. I'm not asking you to love me back, you have the right to love who ever you want. I might be...heck, I'll be hurt if I see you with another guy but I'll be happy to know you're happy. I..."

"Shh, Dimitri! It is fine but I'm afraid I can not..." I couldn't finish my sentence as he pulls me into a hug.

How did this happen? I'm so dumbfound right now. The bad boy loves me. I can't reciprocate that love. Fuck I don't even know how to love. So he hasn't played an instrument in close to five years! Unbelievable!

I can't just forgive him like that! And love? Ugh! I can't love him! I will destroy him.

"Dimitri?" I call breaking the hug.

"Why do you always have to break the hug?" he says trying to make light of the situation. I just smile before saying,

"But you know you'll kill your talent if you don't play"
"If I haven't
killed it already"
"Just try, you know what? How about you sing to me when I want to go to bed..."

"Stop Anita, just stop. I'm trying to forget the past"

"Are you insane? You can't forget your past. Have you forgotten that your past was once your future, it was once your present". I say slightly raising my voice. I'm already sick and tired of people saying they are trying to forget their past. They just can't.

It's Impossible to forget the past no matter how hard one tries. Just learn to live and grow with the past then your future would be at peace with your past instead of clashing with it

"You can't tell me what and not what to do"

Of course I can't. You're the bad bully and I am just regular Anita.

"Oh really. Well maybe I can't but you're not the only one who has lost your parents you know, I lost mine the day I was born. Do you know how hard it is for me in the house. They tire me out just like Cinderella. They make me work like a maid.

At least when your parents were breathing, they loved you, they cared for you, they protected you. You don't know what it is to be living, yet dead. Ever since I was born, I've not celebrated a damn birthday. Yet every year they celebrate the others.

But here I am. If I don't tell you, you won't know. Everyone in the estate ignores me. I'm like a weed, an unwanted plant that is sucking up the nutrients meant for others. Obviously you won't know this. You still have a creepy but amazing aunt who loves and cares for you and a badass sister who's got your back. Whereas I've got nothing. You're right I probably can't tell you what to do" I say angrily.

Why am I angry? It is not my damn business.

Maybe I am just upset because I thought we'd go on from here become friends, since we've opened up to each other. Silly me for thinking wrong.

"Anita your eyes?" Dimitri's gasps. Ah shit. My eyes are probably fiery blue now.

"Just leave me alone", I say and get up from his bed to put wrestling. I'm already 8mins late.

Becky lynch and Natalya are fighting each other in a submission match. I hope Becky puts Natalya away with the arm bar.

I hear the door open and close but I don't look back. Why will I even let him affect me? It's his choice to forget his past not mine. It seems you're getting soft Anita.

I need to go to the gym tomorrow. It's been long I practiced with a gun. I need to shoot something. Mum doesn't know I train with gun, if she does, the gym will be closed forever.

Going to the gym doesn't make you tough!

Is Dimitri purposely opening and shutting the door just to get my attention? If he is, then I'm just gonna ignore him. Yay! Becky lynch won!

Now it's Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar for the universal championship. I really want Seth to win this. But I don't think he has much chance. He has numerous broken ribs. Thanks to Brock.

Oh no! This is the third suplex Brock has given Seth. Seth has managed to give him just one curb stomp.

Remind me to murder Dimitri after watching this. He just loves getting on my nerves. Now he's dragging something against the floor and it is screeching loudly causing me to have fucking goosebumps.

What the fuck, fuck, fuck! Seth won! Seth freaking Rollins won! With a broken freaking rib!

Now I'm satisfied. I turn of the TV and walk to the bed. As I lay down, I hear the sound of the piano.

Is this what all the ruckus was for? He was bringing in the piano. Just so that he could sing to me?

Hold your peace, don't turn, don't turn, don't... Ah forget it! I turn to look at him. He was smiling. Then he mouthed an 'I'm sorry'
For what? I should be the one apologising. Oh, I don't! So instead, I just smile and nod. He begins to play Ed Sheraan's perfect.

I found the love, for me. Darling just dive right in follow my lead. I found the girl, beautiful and sweet, she shares my dreams I hope that someday I'll share her own. We are still kids but we're so in love, fighting against all odds, I'll not give you up this time, darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own and in your eyes you're hope in mine. Baby! Dancing in the dark, with you between my arms, barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song....
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath you heard it, darling you look perfect...
I have met an angel in person and she looks perfect, I don't deserve you, darling you look perfect tonight

Oh my! He totally mixed up the lines!

I almost fainted after hearing his voice. Though I've got a fabulous voice, it sounds as a frog croaking compared to his own. I only clapped when he was done.

"You've got an awesome voice" I state

"Yours is better" he says unsmiling. I blushed at this as I realize I was singing along.

Note to self; Dimitri is bad for my health.

"Thanks for that Dimitri"

"You're welcome pumpkin"

"Huh? That's a horrible nickname pinecone"

"Look who's talking"

"Just get in here let's sleep" I say patting the bed by my side.

He pulls his shirt and gets in beside me.
"Do you watch Barbie?" He asks

"Which girl doesn't?"

"Nina"

"She's not a girl" we both laugh at that last statement.

"But why did you ask?".

He answers with a Barbie song.

I think I can get used to this. His awesome voice.

Drifting to sleep, he rounds up the song the pulls me closer to him before saying "I love you Anita"

"Sure you do" was all I said before feeling the low rumble in his chest that signifies he must be laughing. I then smile before the darkness envelopes me.

The next sight had me in shock

What is it that possibly put Anita in shock. Could it be another monster or someone she loves but she doesn't want to admit it.

And remember that I love you all even though I don't know most of you personally.😍😍😘😘
