his weakness

K E N Z I E

What I witnessed last night hasn't left my mind since. Nolan's been on my mind 24/7 and it all continues replaying in my head. I've seen him angry many times, almost every single encounter I've had with him but that was just next level. I'm an idiot, I should've known better. I should've left him alone and left but seeing him in that state felt so wrong to leave him in.

Anyone could tell he was having a nightmare and I've never seen anyone have one. It made me feel really bad for him because whatever he was dreaming about seemed fucked up. His body language showed a lot of pain he must've experienced that led to him having a nightmare.

And I can't help but wonder what he was seeing.

Anyway, I thought we were starting to become somewhat civil within our relationship but of course I had to ruin it. Not that I care about where we are but it felt nice being able to have a conversation with him where it's not us bickering constantly.

School starts in 20 minutes and I haven't received any text messages from Nolan, letting me know he's on his way. I guess he's still not over what happened.

It's fine. I brought my car back to the hospital so I can drop myself off to school.

"Hey honey." I turn around to see mom has woken up from her sleep.

"Good morning mom, I've got school soon and I have to leave now but I'll be back here okay?" If I could skip school and be with my mom I would but I can't. She would never let me.

"You don't have to keep coming back here, I'm not going to be here for that long. I'll be out of here by tomorrow."

"But I want to. I'll be back. Bye mom." I kiss her on the forehead and head out of the room.

My phone vibrates in my back pocket and I grab it to see a message from Chase.

Chase: We're going to school together. I'm dropping you off today.

You: I have my car with me, I can drop myself off.

Chase: I wasn't asking, I was telling you. And it's an order from Nolan, I can't say no.

You: K.

Chase: If you're going to be mad at someone, be mad at Nolan not me. You scare me when you're mad. He seems to be the only one who can handle you being mad.

You: I'm not mad at anyone. Hurry up, we're going to be late.

Chase: I'm outside the hospital. Nolan told me where you'd be btw.

You: K.

First thing I see once I exit the hospital is Chase's car right at the front. His car is just as lavish as Nolan's. Of course it's a sport's car but in red, totally suits him.

"What are you waiting for huh? Get in." Chase happily smiles with his teeth with his window down and shouts as I roll my eyes walking towards the car

"So where's Nolan?" That is the first thing I say once I enter the car.

"Home. He'll be at school though, I know you miss him but I promise you will love me more than you could ever love Nolan and his company." He chuckles and starts driving.

"I don't miss him, I was just asking." I defend myself. I don't miss that grumpy piece of shit. I mean I guess I'm a little worried after last night but I don't miss him.

"Yeah yeah, isn't that what they always say?" Chase is very close to getting on my nerves.

"Shut the fuck up."
