Océane's Eyes

~XVI~

The nightmares came again, don't know why neither did I really care. I have no one to tell and I can't even write it down anymore. I check the time on my phone and it reads six forty pm.

Another day well wasted

I finally get out of bed and go to the bathroom to pee. On my way back I hear a slight knock on the door.

"Not in the mood Adrién"

"It's not Adrién. It's Reggie"

"Oh" I thought you weren't talking to me anymore. I walk over to the door and let him in. He takes a seat in my bed and I throw my self face down on it.

My bed is my home now

"Zeke got suspended, indefinitely"

"Oh goodie" I sarcastically reply into my pillow.

"I missed you, we missed you"

I turn to face him and say "don't say 'we' like there is a whole army of people protesting and waiting for my arrival"

He chuckles and replies "well there isn't but Drea and I care way more than an army of angry protesters." The tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and I smile in response, he smiles too.

"What's wrong. Talk to me, that's why I'm here"

"Well since Zeke had already blabbed it all out. Yeah, I got kidnapped, beaten, starved and raped for approximately three days. By two strange elderly men. I was their 'toy'. They are in prison now, I go for therapy or at least I used to before my dad got cancer and now I don't go anymore." I state without looking at him, when I look up to see his reaction he looks like he just saw freaking bigfoot in a bikini.

Then he finally says "oh my, I'm so sorry".

"Yeah. Should have told you sooner though." I face up and look at the ceiling. I feel his weight push the bed down as he lays beside me.
I look at him and he nods his head in a way that signals "come here"

I move closer to him and lay my head on his broad chest. He wraps his arm around my waist, and I feel safe again.

"I also kissed my therapist" I blurt out.

"What?" He replies and I can feel his chest vibrate as he chuckles. "Isn't he old or something."

"Nope. He is my uncle from France, well not really, that would be eww. The one I told you was my uncle when you invited me to the pool party"

"Ohhhhh, he is hot"

"Mmm hmm."

"So are you guys together?" He asks as he plays with my hair, twirling strands around his finger and patting some down.

"Nooo. That would be illegal right?"

"I guess"

There's another wave of silence before I say "thanks for coming. I really needed this"

"Of course. Drea had extra classes so she couldn't make it, I will update get though so you won't have to tell the story again."

"Is she having extra classes or extra classes" I lay emphasis on the second one talking about her and Raquel

"Oh no. They are in a bad position right now, another reason why she couldn't come. She's grieving" he replies and we both laugh.

"They broke up"

"Took a break so to say"

"Hmm, alright"

We hear the door open and both turn to see who it is.
