Blaine let go of my hand and reached out towards the bark on the tree where he began to trace out a name, which I soon realised was his mother's name.
"My mom's buried just under this tree," Blaine suddenly said through the silence. "Her name was Blair by the way." He said while he continued to trace out the craved name on the tree.
"After my father killed my mom, I couldn't help but retaliate as all the anger over the years of me not being able to protect myself and my mom, I just simply snapped and I killed him, I didn't even hesitate and went straight for his jugular." Blaine's voice was so cold, and held no emotion as he spoke about the death of his father.
"I couldn't control myself, I ripped him into shreds, and his blood was dripping down the walls and soaking into the carpet but I couldn't bring myself to stop, even throughout his screaming." I reached out for his hand, his eyes were glassy and I could see that his mind was far away from reality.
"Once he was dead, I called my grandfather, he's not my real grandfather but my mom has always seen him as her dad since he came into her life when she was three and from then on he acted like she was his own pup."
I just nodded, I didn't want to interrupt him because it was rare that Blaine would ever share so much information or any at all. So I stayed silent and allowed him to talk without interrupting.
"My grandfather came onto my land and took my mom back to his territory to this tree where he buried her as this was their favourite place, where he would read my mom stories when she was a little girl and also where my mom would tell me stories. This is a place of memories, happy ones whereas my territory is just, just hell. And it's not somewhere I wanted my mom to be buried."
"Even though my grandfather isn't actually blood related to me, I see him as my family, but I simply don't share that with anyone, not even him." I just gripped onto his hand tighter, wanting him to feel comfort.
He looked at me and gave me a small gazed smile before looking into the distance, his thoughts and feelings vulnerable.
I kept my eyes trained on him, just staring straight at him, I felt hurt and sadness for him but I knew he wouldn't want that, he'd hate that.
A few minutes went before Blaine squeezed my hand, capturing my attention.
