Twisted love (Slow updates)

Chapter 15 Patience

I can slightly hear someone screaming my name. I want to open my eyes but can't. They feel so heavy. The only thing I can see in the darkness of my mind is Marcus's lustful face. I've never wanted to see him again but I knew it was inevitable. I just never thought it would be because of Patrick. I always thought it would happen if I was with Evan.

My mind goes blank again and the darkness consumes me.

****

I feel my body less light. My head has a slight headache and my eyes are slowly opening.

"Ally, open your eyes for me angel."

Patrick.

I try to force my eyes open completely but get blinded by the light and shut them quickly.

Patrick's fingers are running through my hair and I try to reopen my eyes. Luckily now my eyes are able to adjust to the light.

I look and see a worried expression on my beautiful Patrick's face.

Marcus! Where is he? I jump up and grab my head as I feel a wave of dizziness hit me.

"Ally. Relax. You fainted." Patrick says while holding my shoulders.

I look up at him and want to scream at the top of my lungs and cry my eyes out.

"Why was he here?" I ask holding back my emotions.

Patrick looks away from me. Why won't he look at me?

"Answer me!" I yell as I feel a tear roll down my cheek.

I push his hands away from me and try to get out of his bed. I stumble and Patrick catches me.

"Sit down Ally." He orders.

"No." I say while a wave of dizziness hits me again.

Patrick lays me back down and sighs. "Ally there are things you don't know."

I throw my arm over my eyes and just want to cry my eyes out. "So tell me then."

"It's too soon." I move my arm and look at Patrick.

"How is it too soon? You don't even know who he is to me. Why can't you talk me?" And finally the sob that I was trying so hard to hide came out and I can't hold back anymore.

"Ally don't cry. Please don't." He says while pulling me to his chest and wrapping his arms around me.

As much as I want to think everything is ok it isn't. There are things he's hiding and I need to know what they are. I just don't understand how he can see me like this and not tell me. I'll still be here when he tells me. It can't be that bad. Maybe if I open up he'll open up too.

"He was the boyfriend I came here for." I say between sobs.

Patrick's body tenses. "He was the one I saw cheating on me."

"I just want to know why he was here Patrick." I say as tears fall freely.

He holds me against his chest rubbing my back. "He works at a nearby Law firm. We're friends."

I feel my body relax but Patrick's is still stiff. I look up at him.

"Please tell me what's bothering you." I lift my head up, nuzzling into his neck. I take in his scent and feel at peace.

"I promise you everything is fine." Patrick whispers against my head.

I'll let it slide, for now. The only reason I'm letting it slide is because I love him. I wish I can tell him those words but I'm scared. He will tell me eventually. I will make sure of it.
