Chapter Six
I force my eyes open from the burn from the bright light. My body is so sore, and I'm so cold.
Where the hell am I?
With squinted eyes, I sit up and look around the bathroom I just woke up in. After rubbing my eyes, all the memories hit me hard.
Axel
Jayden
That stupid ass game. Fuck.
Pulling out my phone, I glance at the clock to notice its 4 AM. Oh my God, how long have I been in here? Did Bailey leave me? How will I even get home?
I stand up and hold myself up on the bathroom sink. My head is pounding on all sides, and my eyes burn from the dried tears.
Turning on cold water, I splash my face and wipe off at the makeup that ran down my cheeks. I look like an absolute mess.
Once my face is make-up free, I stare into my own soul through the mirror.
It was a trigger. I was stupid to think I could live through that and not be traumatized. I'm still me, but I have weaknesses. Jayden created fear in my heart and mind that I'll never escape from.
If I knew better to not self-diagnose myself, I wouldn't, but I have to have some form of PTSD.
PTSD- A disorder that develops after a very stressful, frightening or distressing event, or after a prolonged traumatic experience.
A silent tear drips from my bottom lashes as I remember what happened. The way he yelled the same sentence Jayden has, and how his name flew from his mouth the same way. I can take the anger in his voice, but it was that trigger that hit me too hard.
I'm fine now, but I have to be careful. I can't let that happen again.
After splashing water on my face once more, I turn off the faucet and open the door quietly.
I stop as soon as I walk out and see Bailey and Jamie laying on each other beside the door. Elijah must have covered them up because they have a comforter thrown over their bodies.
These girls are too kind. My heart swells up double at the sight in front of me.
They didn't want to leave me.
Fuck, I've never had that before. Well, not in a good way that is.
I crouch down to wake them up, but a certain voice coming from the living room stops me.
Elijah
Pushing off my knees, I stand back up and silently make my way towards the voices. There is cups and beer bottles thrown around the hallway and I feel guilty about the girls having to sleep there because of me.
