Fractured

Chapter 11

I feel someone shaking my shoulder, letting out a groan. "What?" I ask, rubbing my eyes. "Wake up, babe. We're here." Emily whispers to me. "I thought I was your babe." Ajax says as he dramatically places his hand on his chest. I get up muttering "Okay then", not realizing that now I'll be the third wheel.

                                                                           ...

After Ajax showed us the whole house, we decided to go in the hot tub. Of course, I wore the bikini, Rowan can go fuck himself. By just the thought of pissing him off an idea popped in my head, but I'll save that for later.

"Okay so I got another one, what did the fish do when it opened its mouth?" Ajax asks.

"I don't know, talk? You are really bad at making jokes sometimes, Jax." says Emily.

"No, dummy, it blows bubbles." Ajax says.

I start laughing so hard I have to clutch my stomach, I look up to see Emily with a bewildered face and Ajax with a smirk on his face. I continue laughing until Emily asks "Why are you laughing? It wasn't even funny."

"Because I'm hilarious, honestly I should really just become a comedian." Ajax says blinking excessively.

"No, because when a joke is that dumb and terrible you wheeze like a maniac." I say chuckling, that gets Emily to let out a laugh.

"Hey, what's that mark on your neck? He doesn't hurt you does he?" Emily asks, her voice horrified as she presses her hand to her mouth, her face looking pale as snow.

"No, No. Rowan would never. I- it's different okay. I don't know how to explain." I said, my face heating up.

"AH, I get it. They're kinky, leave them alone Emily." says Ajax

"What do you mea- OH. AJAX. What they do in their bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, window is none of our business." she says

"Window?" Ajax and I repeat at the same time with confusion on our faces.

"Oh you get what I mean. Just- whatever enough with the sex talk." she says her face, the color of a tomato as she rubs her arms with hands.

"Wait, my neck can't possibly look that red can it?" I ask.

"Just check on your phone camera or something." Ajax says as he braids her hair.

I open my phone and pull up the camera.

Holy shit-

There's a light pink mark on my neck. But it's very light meaning you'd have to be really close to notice it.

"Told you I was being concerned for a reason. Now you see why I was worried?" Emily says

"Yeah, anyways I'm going to go to my room and get some rest." I say.

They both mumble 'okay'. As I leave I hear splashes and giggles. I turn around for a second to see Ajax try to grab Emily's waist while she's giggling and splashing water at him. I smile as I walk to my room.

I'm drying off myself with the towel debating on if I should take a shower or not when my previous idea pops in my head.

I grab my phone and go on instagram, god this will make him go even more crazy. I take a photo of myself in the mirror showing my whole body just not my face. I mean what?- I was planning to anyway. I took a few more because the first one I took looked weird. I show a few with my face, some with just my face and you know just the basic photos. I decided to stop taking photos and posting and take a shower just cause I feel like I need a hot and cold one to help my back stop being so tense.

Besides you only put shampoo on top of your hair covering your scalp part and conditioner on the bottom parts. I use warm water for when I'm cleaning the shampoo out, hot for my body, and cold for when I'm taking the conditioner out. As I scrub my body I hear a ding come from the sink which means a notification came from my phone.

I peer out from the glass and see a few likes and comments on my posts, I smile to myself.

                                                               ...

I've been in my room for as long as I can remember, since I fell asleep. I'm pretty sure they didn't come for me because I told them not to wake me since I'm tired and stressed about what's been going on with Rowan and me.

"I don't know myself, just if anything else happens, just know we're all here for you to talk to. If he does anything-"

Emma's words ring in my head, and I have the need to tell her what happened. I called her, waiting for her to pick up the phone. One ring, Two rings, Three rings, I'm about to hang up the phone when I hear someone pick up.

"Hello? Malia?" A deep voice says as I hear some shuffling from the other side as well.

"Sorry, I don't care what you're doing or how busy you are in the nicest way possible. But Rowan and I kind of fought again. It was kind of really toxic, I mean I don't know if it was more toxic than that happened at the bar but yeah-" I stop feeling a shudder go through me remembering what happened there.

"So this time I told you how he was supposed to come with me to the fucking cabin, but he decides not to go because of our fight. Wanna know the fight was. He didn't want me to go wearing my bikini nor bathing suit like the fuck. So we started yelling at each other, and then it got hot, messy and toxic. Like hot in you know which way, but messy as in Emily thought he was hitting me with the mark on my neck. But it's fine I posted a picture on instagram that will for sure piss him off. I think we need a two-day break anyway, especially the whole bar thing."

"What?" I hear him ask.

My heart stops.

"Quinton?" I ask
