Locked Away

Texts

When you woke up in the morning you and Mokuba went downstairs to eat breakfast. While eating breakfast, you both discussed plans for the day. Since you had school Mokuba would stay at the mansion to make sure the staff stayed downstairs and didn't bother Seto. After your morning class, you'd talk to school staff about your dorm.

Once you and Mokuba, the doorbell rang. Mokuba tells you to let them in while he goes to talk to Seto. You watch as he runs upstairs, and you head towards the door. You open the door and a whole crew of people with cleaning supplies come in.

They looked at you expecting instructions on where to start and felt a bit awkward standing there. Luckily Mokuba quickly came back and met everyone when he reached the bottom of the staircase.

He told them that for today they were only to focus on cleaning downstairs and leave the upstairs alone for today. Once given that instruction the crew took off to start working. A few had questions that Mokuba answered.

Once that was done, you and Mokuba decided to get out of the way. You both sat at the top on the banister overlooking the Foyer.

"Do we have to watch them clean?" You asked.

"Nah, Seto is paranoid they'll get curious and sneak upstairs." He replied.

"Oh. So, we get to just laze about then?" You asked.

"Well, I do. Don't you have class soon?" He asked in return.

You looked at the time on your phone and groaned. "Yeah. I'll be back in an hour or two."

You got up and packed your book bag with the stuff you would need for the day. You changed clothes and gave yourself a look over before finally leaving. Right as you enter the hallway you swear you can see Seto on the other end of the hallway.

It was dark but you think you could make out him beckoning him towards you. Mokuba was on his phone, so he didn't pay you much mind. You walked past him and into the dark hallway. Guess your eyes were better than you thought because Seto was waiting for you in the dark. When you got close enough, he spoke.

"Are you going to be okay going by yourself?" He asked.

You nodded.

"Are you sure?" He asked again.

"Yeah, there will be a lot of people around and the campus has police nearby." You responded.

"If you need help give me a call." He said giving you a piece of paper.

"I will." You replied taking the paper from him.

With that you walked downstairs and into your car. You went to class as usual, hoping no one would ask about the ugly ass bruise on your eye. Luckily it was sunny outside, so you had an excuse to wear sunglasses the whole time outside. Class went on ass normal and soon you were out.

Once out of class you headed straight towards the campus housing office. There is a bit of a line, but you wait it out. You pass the time scrolling on your phone. You noticed several missed messages from Alex. Curiosity got the better of you and you decided to open them.

Some messages were paragraphs long, others were short and blunt. All of them were horrible to read. He would try to apologize and try to blame you for everything. You finally had enough and decided to stop reading them.

You took a few deep breaths while holding back tears. Then you remembered the piece of paper that Seto had given you earlier in the morning. You pulled it out and saw his number on it. You decided to put it into your phone for safer keeping than a piece of paper.

Eventually it was your turn to meet with the housing people. You explained the situation to them about not feeling safe living at your current dorm. You were told they wouldn't be able to move you to another dorm and could only give you a partial refund, but you'd be able to leave the dorm.
