Bi-stressed

CHAPTER 78

"Like I just told you everything. It was all a misunderstanding. Do you even have any idea about her hallucinations? In the past twenty four hours I've experienced her having them thrice already." I hear Hardin say. He's probably talking to Zac.

"Shut the fuck up Hardin. I'm not here to make conversation with you about her. I know her situation and she's on pills." I hear Zac's voice now.

"Those are just fucking sleeping pills. She discovered that and stopped taking them."

"How do you know?"

"She told me."

"Wow. So you're trying to tell me you know her better than I do?"

"No br-"

"Don't,"

"Fine, Zac all I'm asking you to do is not to fuck up. Gosh it's so hard to explain to you. I care about-"

"Stop it, I don't need your explainations."

"She thinks you left with Gwyneth when Gwyneth wasn't even present out there. It's her hallucinations."

He didn't leave with Gwyneth? But I heard them saying he left with her.  If Gwyneth wasn't "her" then who did he leave with and wait the scenario I saw earlier when he put the shisha pipe to her mouth. I was hallucinating the whole time. Gosh.

"I'm sorry." I say softly, lifting myself up from the bed. They ask me if I'm alright and Hardin tells me to lie-down. I don't, instead I sit up, letting my feet hang down.

"I'm sorry Zac. For everything. I wish these hallucinations never existed."

"Lex, you don't have to be sorry for something involuntary. It's not your fault." Hardin interrupts.

"Lex" makes my heart flutter and i hate that it does.

Zac glares at him and then softens his eyes towards me.

"I'm sorry Lexi. I misunderstood and doubted on you and Hardin. I couldn't help it because when I reached halfway up the staircase, I saw you'll two exiting the bedroom so I thought-

I cringe at the thought and so does Zac.

He then continues,
"I wanted to hammer the shit out of him but the painful sight made me go down and smoke shisha in order to ease the pain. I saw you walk towards me and then Hardin behind you so I purposely put the pipe to Kim's mouth to some how make you jealous. I looked right into your eyes and looked away intentionally, ignoring you so you may experience the hurt I experienced when I saw you and Hardin together. Then when you were seated besides Hardin during the music session, I couldn't bear it. I was losing it and I didn't want to create a scene so I left. Kim accompanied me knowing my state and that it wasn't safe for me to drive home alone. She tried convincing me that there was nothing going on between you'll but my head was playing games with me and I-"

"That's enough. Come here." I pull him close to me and hug him tight. The hug which is supposed to feel right feels different but it's comforting. I longed for this hug, I haven't hugged him in a while. I watch Hardin leave the room. I hate that few hours ago this Lexi was all over in Hardin's arms. It'd obviously be weird for Hardin to watch us in an embrace when earlier I was in his, sobbing my heart away.

"Zac,    Hardin only saved me from Travis and brought me out of that room when you must have seen us."

"Yeah, he told me all of it. The only reason I'm still okay with him is because he saved you from that bastard. I'm really sorry, I should have been with you the whole time."

"I won't say it's okay but let's forget about it now. I hate that you thought that of me though."

"I hate that too. I fuck up, I always do." I see regret and sadness in his eyes.
