window, as though in some sort of trance, completely ignoring my presence here.
     
    “Trey…?”
     
    He doesn’t respond.
     
    “TREY!”
     
    His head shoots round. Now I’ve got his attention.
     
    “Dang, Trey, look at you…”
     
    “What?!”
    His eyes narrow and that same ‘dark’ Trey from the club returned. He had this defiant ‘screw you’ attitude. The tone of his voice was daring me to push his buttons, daring me to provoke him and then deal with whatever beast I’d un-caged. It was like he wanted to have an argument, to fight with me and shout me down.
     
    He was aggressive; there was a hunger deep within him. I suddenly felt like a lamb to the slaughter.
     
    But this was Trey we’re talking about. I could hold my ground with him… I had to.
     
    “You’re a wreck, Trey; a complete mess… look at the state of you!”
     
    “Oh, I’m a mess? Because the last time I checked, Harmony, you weren’t doing too good yourself!”
     
    “Yeah, well at least I didn’t project my troubles on to anyone else, have you even stopped once to think about what you’ve done to Freddy? What you’ve put him through with your vast carelessness? The poor guy’s been worried sick and you don’t even care! You’re a selfish jerk, Trey, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Freddy was your brother, he’d probably have abandoned you along with everyone else!”
     
    I could hear the venom in my voice as I spat the words out at him unrelentingly.
     
    Trey wasn’t the only one with a troubled dark side.
     
    He looks at me, almost in disbelief of what I’d just said. I’d obviously hit a nerve.
     
    It was probably a little harsh but it was true, well except the last bit, I knew Freddy would never leave Trey.
     
         All the same, I’m stunned and a little disgusted at my own callousness. It was a side to me that even Trey hadn’t seen. I think it would be best if I left him alone, I should never have come round in the first place, whatever happened to keeping ‘a safe distance’ from one another? I felt terrible for the things I’d said, and guilty. I wasn’t raised that way.
         I stand up and hastily bolt towards the door; I needed to get out of there as quickly as I could but before I can even turn the door handle, his cold fingers wrap around my wrist, his nails digging in to my veins painfully.
     
    He takes a firm hold on me and shoves me up against the wall, my head banging against it achingly as I collide with it. He’s got me pinned. No escape.
     
         Trey had never once laid a finger on me and all of a sudden I’m struck with such savage brutality. Did he hate me that much?
         It was hard not to tremble a little beneath him; he was so much taller than me, so much stronger…
     
    “Why? Why do you care, Harmony? What has my life got to do with you now, anyway? You gave up the right to care about me when you walked out on me!”
     
    I wanted to remind him that I didn’t walk out on him. Our break up was a mutual agreement. We both decided that we couldn’t follow our dreams and pursue such demanding careers whilst we were together. It might have been instigated more on my part but he told me he understood - he had no right to make me out to be the villain.
     
    But that would only cause another argument. I didn’t want to argue with him anymore, it was exhausting.
     
    He gives me a firm shake, trying to force an answer out of me. I had to tell him the truth. The truth was dangerous but he had to know.
     
    “Because…”
     
    His eyes burn in to me, a tiny flicker of the old Trey reappearing in them.
     
    “…because I love you. I’ve always loved you, I never stopped…”
     
    He releases his grip on me and his hands fall to his sides. He backs off a little but still keeps his closeness with me.
     
    I didn’t know if it was the answer he wanted to hear or not, whether it shocked him or pleased him but it was the truth. I cared about why he was
