It's just me and you

Chapter 16- Detention

Y/N's POV

As I stir around trying to get in a comfortable position during my sleep, which is hard seeing as I'm injured all around, I am utterly startled at the feeling of a cold liquid dripping down my stomach. I quickly sit up and realize what a mistake that was because I was unfortunately met with excruciating pain along my ribs. I guess I fell asleep on my couch with an ice pack that I wrapped around my ribs last night. Obviously the ice pack has now turned into water. I glance around my living room and notice light entering through my windows, I guess it's the morning. It's Monday morning, It's been two days since the incident. My weekend is sadly over.

It went by faster than I anticipated probably because I spent the whole time sleeping and laying down. The only times I have gotten up were to either go to the bathroom or change my ice pack. I haven't had the time nor the appetite to eat anything and I feel incredibly weak.

Cameron and Lizzie have both been on my ass this weekend, more than I'd like. They're worried which I completely understand but I've told them a handful of times that I'm fine and they just don't seem to believe me. Cameron even threatened to tell my father but we both know that's a terrible idea. If my father were to find out, the whole world would find out. He would immediately file a lawsuit against the other dude and I just don't want to go to court, certainly not again for any reason.

I slowly get up and the ice packs water seeps through my shirt causing it to drip on the floor. I mentally curse myself and head over to my kitchen throwing away my broken ice pack and grabbing a bottle of Tylenol pills, this headache isn't going away by itself. I grab two and return to my coffee table, downing the pills with some leftover alcohol. Seeing as how I'm already soaking wet, I take off my shirt, leaving me in my bra. I head over to my room throwing my shirt in my laundry along with my pants.

I enter my bathroom turning on my shower so I can take a hot bath and maybe just maybe that'll ease the pain a little bit. As I strip out of my clothes I turn on my phone playing the song Out of time by The Weeknd. I hesitantly enter my shower and the hot water quickly takes me under its arms wrapping me tightly and warmly. I look down and let the water stream over my body and I notice trickles of my dried up blood going down the drain.

After my quite long shower I decided that I wasn't going to wear anything casual to school today. My body hurts too much to wear pants or a shirt so I decided to stick to the basics and wear a pair of my gray sweatpants and my favorite worn out hoodie that's a tad bit too big on me, it's comfortable.

I walk over to my sink leaning over the counter to glance at myself in the mirror. I look tired but most of all I look very injured. There's a huge bruise under my eye and a bunch of little cuts scattered across my face. I hardly recognize myself. I don't want to be this person, I hate this feeling. I'm a senior for for god's sake, I need to grow up and stop getting into childish fights. Alfred nor my father would want this life for me, I need to do better for myself and for them.

I hear a pair of knocks on my door which brings me out of my thoughts. Who could that be? Please don't tell me Scarlett and Aubrey are back to lecture me this early in the morning. I slowly walk over to my door opening it revealing Cameron and Lizzie right beside him. Lizzie quickly hugs me along with Cameron. I immediately wince in pain because of the pressure they're putting on my ribs but I reciprocate the hug regardless.

They both quickly let go and look at me worriedly. Once they take notice of the condition of my face a look of shock and sadness overcomes them. Cameron looks like he's on the verge of tears and Lizzie looks guilty.

I give them a small smile "Guys I'm fine, it's okay." I say trying to reassure their oncoming negative thoughts.

Cameron shakes his "I should've let you stay home like you wanted to, god I'm such an idiot. I should've never let you go to that stupid party." He says angrily at himself.
