I had been awake for hours. Lying in bed staring at the ceiling. I kept playing last night over in my head. How did he know where I lived? How long had he been in town?
Had he been watching me?
My head hurt and I felt sick to my stomach. Last night proved I didn’t know him at all. He set out to hurt me and that’s exactly what he did. I was exhausted. Physically and mentally drained and I had no intention of leaving this room today.
Everything was a mess. My life was a rollercoaster and the only good thing I had going for me was Jake. Why couldn’t it be simpler? Why did all of this have to happen?
Everything happens for a reason but why?
Why did my gran have to leave?
Why did Lana open her mouth and say the things she did?
Was it me? Was I the problem?
Grabbing my phone from the nightstand I unlocked it. No messages, no missed calls, nothing. After scrolling through Facebook and checking some apps I put it on do not disturb and shoved it under my pillow.
I didn’t want to deal today.
I wanted to sleep and forget last night ever happened.
But I couldn’t.
I couldn’t switch off.
Nobody was telling me anything. But to be fair I hadn’t asked. All I knew was Tommy was taken to hospital and he wasn’t dead. Which was a relief on my part. I don’t know what I would have done if he was.
There was a knock on the door before he entered. He smiled at me. “Want me to run you a bath?”.
I shook my head.
“What about coming down for something to eat?”.
Again, I shook my head.
“Can’t stay cooped up in here all day”. He sat on the end of the bed.
“I know”. He was right. I was cooped up in here and for what? I had to stop the pity party in my head and give myself a shake. I had nothing to feel bad about. He intruded our home with the intention of hurting me.
“I’m fine”. I decided I wasn’t going to talk about it anymore. I didn’t want to think about it. “But I am hungry”.
.
Have I ever mentioned that Jake was a feeder.
I swear he loved to watch me eat.
“Are you feeding the pack?”. I grinned.
Just then there was a knock on the front door before it open. It was our friends. All of them.
I blushed when my eyes landed on jack.
“I thought you’d want them here”. He scratched the back of his head. “If you don’t, I can make them leave”.
“Hey”. Alanna yelled. “We can hear you”.
