Day - ONE

Differences

Sophie's POV

When I woke up gazing beneath my lashes I saw my legs were wrapped around blanket I straightforwardly headed towards my bathroom in a flicker of second almost stumbling still restraining myself from falling on floor.
I undid the blanket and in a swift I went inside the bathroom.

I removed my T shirt saw my bony and fragile self in the reflection of the mirror , seeing freckles covering my face I did my hair in a messy bun.

I took toothpaste from the shelves and put and applied it on my toothbrush started to brush my teeth rigorously. I was running late for the hospital.

I turned on the shower when cold water droplets touched my skin I began to ease in my form a bit. I wrapped towel around me and heard a crackling sound of furniture behind me. First I thought maybe I am assuming things again. Thud!

Something tumbled down I presumed while I bent down to apply body lotion on my feet. I twisted doorknob in front of me cautiously. If there is a burglar in house I should resent myself from stepping out. He must have been carrying deadly weapons with him which can injure me severely. Maybe he is carrying a knife or loaded gun.

I moved outside tiptoed making sure I made no sound the silence flung over like a graveyard. The voices behind me discontinued. Then I entered my room jumped on my bed and with trembling fingers I slide the side drawers where Alarick usually kept his licensed gun. I held the gun my hands were still twitching because of agitation.

I paced forward slowly. My hold on the gun unyielded. I saw a shadow looming over the curtain which was lingering in front of the room. I dawled forward making sure that even my own footsteps are inaudible to my own ears.

Silence . A dumbstruck silence. I look back and forth. I heard a whisper to my astonishment I heard a reply from the other side. Again a whisper. Thus I concluded that there were two people in that room . Maybe his companion.
I stiffened in my form.

I was standing against the wall outside the room . I was sweating profusely my breathe left my body, I gulped air inside and I was gaining courage to peep inside the room. I wiped off my face with my sweaty hands clenching the gun hard in my hands. I closed my eyes and turned around . I pointed the gun towards the person and then I saw the hidden truth.

A saw blanket toppled over an undraped woman sleeping on the bed in my own apartment. I could see her from the behind her back was visible she was lean and her strawberry blonde hair flung over her back. She had arm around her hugging her own form. I could see a tattoo at side of her thumb ' Faith '.

I lowered my gun and stood on the gate my jaws dropped seeing the sight in front of me. I saw from east to west examining the room. Indeed this was my apartment but one thing I was confident about I did not knew a blonde lean woman with a tattoo. Not even acquainted with someone like her. She was sleeping facing the opposite direction so she could not see my goggled eyes and astounded face and puzzled expressions.

I gazed at her bare back , her blanket which was twisted around her leg. I looked at her pale fingers her tall pyshique. Again recalling back of my mind that last night before getting intoxicated have I brought any friend who accidentally got too much drunk at my house ? I recollected all the memories of last night but couldn't think of anything as such.

If I didn't knew this woman who is sleeping in my own apartment. Alarick must have brought her home. That thought was powerful enough to rock my core. The grip on my gun tightened. That means he slept with this bare arsed woman inside my own apartment. How dare he ? Tears started forming at corner of my eyes. He apparently cheated on me last night.

I heard a voice from the left side where bathroom was situated I heard voice of water dripping down on the floor from shower. I knew there were two people inside my house. I stared at the gate of bathroom. Alarick is inside. Why Alarick ? That was the unanswered questions that echoed louder at back of my mind.

I felt pair of eyes ogling onto me . I was standing at the door weeping silently by putting hand on my mouth to prevent myself from making any sound.

I saw the girl who has green emerald eyes staring back at me , her thin lips curled and she glared at me in confusion. I stared at her and wanted to know why my man ? but I was certain of the fact I object her choice of whom she slept last night. I knew there was someone else who need to acknowledge his deeds and looked at bathroom's door.

She parted her lips to say something. I raised my gun in her direction in reflex I was burning with rage , a pang of jealousy ran over me , I clenched my teeth and fingers drapped much tighter than before around the gun. I titled my head towards right started to sob in front of her.

She was terrified seeing a woman in front of her pointing the gun against her drapped in white towel. In a second she started searching for her clothes while my fingers around  gun did not flinch even a centimeter. It followed the direction she was moving.

Then she ceased what she was doing digged deep in my eyes with hers I was taken back and even stepped back a little. Would I shoot her today ? I didn't knew because I was fuming with anger.

' Argh ! Someone save me.' She squealed so loud that for a moment I thought I was hearing - impaired.

I heard voice of bathroom's gate someone was slamming it loudly from inside in order to escape. I regarded face of girl staring at me.

I ran towards my room in a swift. I ran occasionally turning behind and seeing if I was chased by someone or not. I felt my head heavy and I collapsed in the corridor.
