Summer with swayLA

Part 2 chapter 34

Blake lead me into the kitchen to sit down on a stool but I jumped up onto the counter. He shook his head chuckling a bit.

Blake-"why aren't you asleep?"
Savannah-"couldn't sleep. I don't know"
Blake-"hey, you can tell me if something wrong" he said looking down at me
Savannah-"yeah I know. That's not the problem. I just think I needed a break from everything today and take time to process it, I haven't actually done that yet."
Blake-"yeah that's true. What were your plans then?"
Savannah-"was going to sit outside by the pool."
Blake-"ahh okay. Was that what you were doing that time we found you asleep out there?"
Savannah-"yeah... it's peaceful out there helps me clear my head a bit."
Blake-"want me to come or do you wanna go on your own"
Savannah-"no offence but I think I need to do this on my own"
Blake-"non taken it's understandable. See you in the morning?"
Savannah-"it technically is the morning but yeah see you in the morning" he chuckled before tapping my shoulders and walking off.

I took a deep breath whilst jumping of the counter top and over to the sliding door. I slid it open as quietly as I could, slipping myself out and closing it almost all the way behind me.

I wondered out into the garden going over to the pool first and testing the water. It was cold but wasn't freezing. It's probably because of how humid it still is at night. Another summer in LA by the looks of things. The heat was getting warmer day by day I new summer was only around the corner again.

I dipped my toes in slightly to feel the pool water properly. It made me shudder but I was alright putting my full foot in. It wasn't freezing like I said just a bit more chilly then I would of liked.

I sat slightly splashing the water and thinking back on the day I've had. It was a tough one for sure. So many thoughts whirled around my head on everything today and well the past few months.

I was kidnapped made to do horrible things I can't believe happened. Then I ended up harming myself for months. I finally got back home to my 'family' and then I had to wait for weeks on end before the police finally arrested all of them. I had to go to therapy and i still have to. I have a doctor checking up on me every now and again for my self harming and keeping record on it. Then today. Today I thought he was going to hurt my friends. I didn't care In that moment if he hurt me or even took me again for that matter but I couldn't have him hurting those girls. They didn't deserve that.

I didn't even want Preston to even look, talk or breath in their direction. I knew what he was cable off I knew what he could do. If he even harmed a hair on their heads I wouldn't of forgave myself. It would of been my fault for bringing these horrible people into their lives and then they would of had to go through something so horrible.

I'm so glad that Amelie managed to message the boys. God I don't want to think of what would of happened if she didn't. The girls wouldn't of just let him take me he would of probably hurt then. I shouldn't think about it, it didn't happen hes locked up. That it.

I laid back dragging my feet from out of the pool onto the side. I was sat with my arms leaning me back and drying my feet off slightly before I decided on moving around again.

Their garden wasn't much like a garden not many plants or grass. The pool was definitely the main feature. It had a very small pathway to a tiny block of grass. It wasn't big at all but I liked it. It stood out to me so once I was back on my feet that's where I headed to.

The grass was surrounded with one big hedge the only bit of greenery around this garden. I always liked this spot the most out of the whole garden. I made my way over to it feeling the grass in between the toes before I sat down leaning back until my head was on the grass. My hair fanned out around me I turned and look at my now dark hair. Taking a heavy sigh, it's not that I don't like it it's that it's not what I wanted to do at the time. It looks good now I don't mind it plus it's got lighter over time.

I lay and just rethought things. I stared up at the stars the only things that brought me peace and happiness in my time away and now that's what they were doing again. After a long stressful day they were the thing relaxing me from it all.

I swallowed the growing lump in my throat as I sat up and slowly made my way back into the house. It turned out I had been out their for a good two hours and saw the beginning of the sunrise. I had decided to sneak back into the house but instead of going into my room with the girls I went to bryces room.

I saw the door cracked open a bit and slid myself through it trying to not let any light into the room. I saw his chest rising and falling slowly and I crawled into the bed until I was next to him. He soon draped his hand over my waist murmuring something.

Bryce-"savannah?"
Savannah-"mhm go back to sleep baby" I whispered Shuffling closer to him as he tightened his grip on my waist.

He clung onto me as I let my head rest onto his pillow taking in my surroundings before finally drifting off to sleep.
