I woke up. Why do I keep seeing them in my dreams? Why can't they stay away? Ugh. Breathe in. Breathe out.
I sat up or at least tried to. I looked down and saw Charles snuggling into my chest. "Hey, time to get up." He groaned snuggling more into my chest. "Charlie, my boobs are not your pillow. Move." I said, grumpily. He heard me and got off. "My bad." He said, scratching the back of his neck. I looked at him and sighed, "I'm hungry." He smiled at me and said, "Let's go eat." I nodded.
The door slammed open. A woman ran inside and locked the door behind her. I glanced at her. What the fuck? "Open the door! Get out Chloe!! Let's talk it out!" Damien banged on the door angrily. Chloe, huh. Who is she?
"No, leave me alone." Chloe shouted while crying. Charles got up from the bed. He was furious. How the fuck does she get away from Damien? How dare she barge into my Raven's room?
Chloe turned around and froze. I looked at her, concerned and confused. "What are you doing in my room? No wait. Why is Damien after you?" I asked, looking at her.
"I-I. You have to help me. He.." Chloe said, running up to Raven. I moved back. I don't know her. Why is she...afraid? What did Damien do?
Charles pulled Chloe away from Raven. "Back off." He said, glaring at her. Raven got off the bed and sighed. "Give me the keys to this door!" Damien shouted an order, snapping his fingers to his bodyguards.
Raven balled up her fists. Is she an intruder? Did she steal from Damien? "Alright, can you help me? He is insane. He won't let me go." Chloe said, moving away from Charles. Well, that kind of sounds like Damien.
"I-." I began to say but the door swung open. Damien swiftly walked inside and pulled Chloe to his side. I frowned. Hmmm...
"Damien. Who is she?" I said, with a serious face. "She was supposed to wait. You were gonna meet her at breakfast, but she ran off." Damien said, glaring at Chloe. He looked at me and pleaded with his eyes.
I shook my head. I looked at Chloe. She was fighting against Damien. I gritted my teeth. "Chloe, does not seem to like you." I wanted to say but didn't. Who knows how Damien will react? He won't hit me but who knows who'll suffer because of me.
"We're gonna go get ready for breakfast. You guys should too. We'll see you at breakfast okay." Damien said, smiling at me and nodding to Charles. Charles nodded back. I stood still. I don't know what to say. All I could do was stare at her as she screamed and hit him on his back.
"Okay, Raven. Right, we'll see each other, at breakfast. Right." Damien repeated himself. Why is she ignoring me? Is she mad at me? Damien thought, holding onto Chloe.
"Right, see you soon." I said, waving him off. He nodded and left with Chloe. "Raven, I'm gonna go get dressed. See you at breakfast." Charles said, kissing me on my forehead. I nodded. He left and closed the door. And why the fuck is Charles so unaffected by this? I mean, Damien is his brother.
I sat on my bed. If she is what I think she is, and Damien is doing what I think he's doing... What the fuck? What the actual fuck? This fucking...demented..giant asshole. Ugh. He should know better.
I can't even skip breakfast. For fuck's sake. Damien has this rule that we all have to eat together and if she's even invited to this then it's a big deal. Causal it is. Sweats and a t shirt. A hoodie to top it off. I put my shoes on and exited my room.
I walked downstairs and immediately wanted to run off. I can sense the awkwardness and uncomfortable atmosphere.
I went to the kitchen. Fuck going to the dining room. I'll wait here. I walked in and guess who, Damien. I immediately turned around. "Raven, come here." Kai said, smiling when he noticed me. Dammit Kai.
