Shain: Chapter 12

It was a good thing I wasn’t a nail chewer. If I was, mine would’ve been gnawed down to the quick. After my uncensored remarks to Daredevil, I’d been feeling lost and afraid. It was mainly due to two things. I was angry with him for making decisions without discussing them with me first, and then I was stunned and afraid after his shocking response to my remarks. He took them the wrong way, which, looking back, I could see why he might have done so, but I hadn’t expected him to ever react the way he did. He shut down and walked away, leaving me unsure. Had he left for good? Were two sentences said in anger enough to destroy us?

I was left with all those worries, plus I was faced with a confused Moose and Carnage when they came to the door. They wanted to know what was wrong with Daredevil and why he’d asked them to come over and talk that evening. My chance to run after him was lost when I stopped to say hello to them and ushered them into my house. Daredevil was gone, and I had no clue where he was or if he was coming back. Thinking now about what the guys said well over an hour ago, I knew they’d done their best to reassure me he would be back and everything would be fine.

The awkward silence stretched out between the three of us until Carnage took control and asked me to explain why they were there. Talk about pressure. Telling them I wanted to go to Tenillo with Daredevil so we were able to give everything to developing our relationship had me tongue-tied. I knew it would be hard for all of us for me to leave, but it was the only way it would work. Long distance wasn’t something I would be able to stand. Until a few minutes ago, I believed Daredevil felt the same. Carnage hadn’t said much when I explained. He seemed to be unsurprised. Moose was vocal about his objections.

“You can’t go. This is your home. Everyone you know is here. Your job is here. This is moving way too fast. You and he need to slow your roll. Let him go home and settle back in, and you do the same, then see if these feelings you have are still there and as strong. If they are, then you can slowly work toward the best course of action.”

“Moose, I love you and the club. You know I do. However, I’ve talked about moving away before. Daredevil and I know what we want, and it’s not to be apart. Spending time apart isn’t suddenly going to make us not want to be together. The thought of him there and me here makes me sick. I don’t want a long-distance, part-time relationship.”

As I explained this to him, my momentary anger lapse when I upset Daredevil evaporated. Everything I was saying, I meant one hundred percent.
