Miles and miles away.

*Des's point of view*

Everyone in the room was in shock from what I had just said and in all honesty; I was too. This man had raped, beaten me, and taken away all my free will, I wanted to vomit at the sight of him and just kill him on spot but seeing him shaking, beaten, and afraid turned on some kind of emotion in me. My forgiveness. This man had hurt me so much but my past with him, he's saved me from myself when I had no one else. One side of me screamed at me to hate him and just slit his throat right then and there but the other side of me looked back to the good memories I had with him, all the fun times, the laughs, squidgy. I wanted to hate him and forgive him at the same time. Most wouldn't have even saved him from Mike and just watch him pound Austin's face in and maybe even laugh at the sight and just bask in the bloody sight and pleasure of seeing him hurt. But that's not me, that's not me. I can't be that kind of person to enjoy someone else's pain,(well unless it's Juliet's cause that bitch can burn in fucking hell for all I fucking care).
"What?! You can't forgive him!" Mike screeched, "And even if, you can't forgive someone that fucking quick for what this sick fuck has done!"
I sighed and shook my head. I looked down at Austin, "I can do what I want." Then up at Mike, "I can forgive him, it's my choice and not yours. You may never forgive him for what he's done to me but I have. I'm sorry you don't like it but it's what I've decided on. You can either accept it or shut up about it."
Mike just gave me this disappointed look, he had tears forming. He shook his head at me then walked out.
Everyone, except Vic, gave me a look like Mike then walked out. i gave one last look to Austin then was carried back to my room to have my arm fixed and my I.V put back in.
Vic stayed by my bed side. He laughed a little,"Of course you're the person that would forgive someone for this kind of shit. You're crazy little sister you know that right?" He smiled and kissed my forehead. I know he wasn't okay with my decision but he didn't want to seem upset and upset me.
I smiled and sighed, "I know I'm crazy but it's just what I want to do. But how Mike and everyone else looked at me," I started tearing up, my voice was cracking as well, "They all think I'm stupid for forgiving him and are really disappointed. Especially Mike. They're all upset with me and I'm pretty sure they all hate me now."
Vic sighed and held me to him on the bed. "Hey, hey, hey. None of them hate you. Mike especially doesn't hate you. He loves you baby doll. Just why did you decide to forgive him."
"I did it because I don't like to hate. Everyone else can hate him for it but I can't. Just not me. What he did was awful, yes but it's not in my nature to hate I want to but I can't bring myself to but I can't."
He just chuckled and shook his head, "Of course that comes from you. Anyway you need to call Andy to tell him you're okay." He pulled out his phone and called Andy then held it to my head.
I took hold of the phone and listened to the ringing.

Hey Vic. Is Des awake?

"Hey babe."

Oh my god baby! You're awake! Are you okay? How hurt are you?

He sounded relieved and worried at the same time and he spoke so quickly. It took me a second to take it in and respond, "I-I'm fine, Andy. Are you okay?"

I'm fine. I was just so worried about you. I've booked a flight to Florida and Me and the kids'll be there Thursday. I promise.

I smiled, "I'm so glad to here that. "

I'm so excited to see you again and for you to meet the girls. I love you so much.

"I love you too baby." We talked for hours, Vic was knocked out next to me. It was nice to talk to him for that long without being interrupted.
