No Sound Without Silence

Chapter 14

Guys, I won't be able to update for two weeks because we have this trip. So here is a long chapter for you guys before I go. Enjoy!

Kring!

The sound sent hammers pounding her brain furiously. She forced her eyes to open wincing them close again when her head spiked up in pain. The ringing finally stopped and a hum of relief came out of her dry lips.

Kring!

Fucking hell, she thought as pain overwhelmed her senses. Her phone continued to drill her brain, and she knew she just had to get that because it didn't seem like it was going to end soon. But as soon as she saw who was calling, everything suddenly dulled, her heart dropped, her mouth became drier. And somehow she wished she had that hangover instead of this sinking feeling in her chest. Her mind flashed back to the events of last night when he disappeared and never came back. Of course. He was an attractive guy. Of course, women would want to have him, and it was natural for a man to give in to his desires. But not her Killian, well, Captain Hook would. He was the same person, so it made sense that he would want to get under the sheets with someone else. Other than you, a voice inside her spoke.

It hurt so much. It felt like her heart was churning inside her chest, as if someone was gripping her heart tight. She wanted to say she was fine, but she really wasn't. There was really not much to say. The man who came back for her, the man who gave up his own ship was now treating her as if she was nothing, as if she was a stranger.

With a heavy heart, she slipped out of the bed and made herself breakfast, ignoring the ringing phone left on her bedside table.

Oh, he was persistent as ever.

She was in the supermarket near the place she was staying in, strolling down the aisles for anything she needed. But, really, she was just wasting time because she was free the whole morning. And her phone just didn't stop ringing to the point an old lady came up to her, asking her to answer it or to turn it off. She turned her phone to vibrate and it scared the shit out of her how long it vibrated in her pocket and how hot her phone got when she took it out to mute it.

With her thigh ringing with the vibrations, she took her time looking at every section, considering every choice of item. After, she paid for the items she bought, and decided to get herself a cup of coffee. The only place she knew was the coffee shop Killian frequented. Her usual route would bring her to the street of the flower shop she saw Killian in. And seriously? Why does everything seem to be about Killian, Killian, Killian?

She shook her head and found another way to the coffee shop without crossing the flower shop. Before entering, she checked first for any signs of the tall British man. She got out safe from any Jones, and she also got herself a steaming cup of coffee. Walking in silence, she sipped on her coffee, her mind floating along to random things. Her senses increasing as she let her mind wander and just observe her surroundings. To forget everything that happened, for even just one minute.

A kid ran by, followed by another boy pumping his fist into the air with an adorable red face. "Curse you, Jones!"

She froze, the momentum causing the hot coffee to spill out of the cup and onto her hand. She looked down at her burnt hand, registering the pain, but she couldn't feel it quite yet. Not when her mind was replaying the words of the boy.

Curse you, Jones.

Curse you.

Jones.
