Damion's POV:
Four days left til the Winter Formal. Four days left til the anniversary of Gwynevere's parent's death.
I dont which one I am more afraid for Gwynnie to deal with.
The last time that we went to a dance, the entire school found our that she had been hiding the death of her parent's, she got a bowl of punch spilled on her, and I almost punched a girl square in the jaw for the first time in my life. But, on the bright side of that situation, she had her first dance with me while I sang to her. I actually sang to her, and I dont sing to anyone but maman and Sophie. It might have been raining and she might have ruined my suit with punch, but I dont think I would take that night back for anything in the world. Not after all that I have seen from her.
But I am still scared for the fact that that is also the day of her parent's death. I hadnt failed to notice that the two things were on the same day, and that is why I had been reluctant to ask her to go. I didnt want her to think that she had to go to a school dance instead of going to see her parents, but she had thrown that idea out the window, telling me that she would love to go with me.
And I had believed her up until three days ago when she had that little breakdown in the middle of the hallway. I was so scared. I was scared that she was reverting back to her old ways and that I wasnt going to be able to help her. She thought that I was angry at her. She thought that I was going to hurt her. I know that she was thinking back to that memory that I have been trying to erase from her memory for months. I have been trying to show her that that isnt who I am. That it was a moment of weakness that I will forever regret. But I also have a feeling that I wasnt the only person swimming around her memory.
He was there too. They all were there. Playing games with her mind. Replaying that night over and over for her like a stuck record. Making her relive the worst day of her life. I am honestly surprised that she mas managed to stay sane for as long as she had. I know that I wouldnt be able to function if something happened to maman.
I just hope that I am not watching her sanity starting to slowly slip.
We are currently at school, and I am standing outside of her physics class, waiting for the bell to ring. Since her little breakdown, I dont even go to class anymore. I usually sit outside of Gwyn's classes, making sure that nothing happens to her. If she has another episode, I want to make sure that I am there to calm her down because no one else will do it. Alex, Michael, and I are the only people that Gwyn has in this school and I want to make sure that she is okay.
I know that you care deeply for this girl, but you are throwing away your entire school career on her. That's what my mom has been saying for the past week. She understands what I am doing and why I am doing it, but she doesnt want me to throw away the rest of my life. She knows that I am the ONLY thing that Gwyn has left, but that stop her from going straight into maman mode every time she gets a call from the school saying that I have skipped all my classes.
I just plan on moving back to Kentucky to take over the mechanic business with Alex and Michael anyway. No need for a high school diploma.
Dont listen to her, Damian. You know how she gets. Just make sure that this is really what you want and who you want, and dont go fucking it up like you usually do. Thats what my sister would say to me if she were here. She was always the voice of reason when it came to fights between me and maman.
