After Dark (ON HOLD)

chapter 9

Vixz pov

Walking out the building to my car I shielded her from anyone seeing just for safety reasons as I walked to the car, making it I opened the passager side with my foot; latching my shoe under the handle and pulling.

I set her down into the seat, she stirred a bit.

Must be weak to care..

Closing the door I go to the driver side, getting in and doing the same before starting the car.

Ashley's pov

I jolted at the sound of being slid into a very comfortable bed, only being have awake I look to the person but couldn't with how dark it was and that my eyes never adjusted.

"Sh.. just sleep ash you'll be okay" vixz voice came into my line of hearing softly and close that I felt his breath on my neck, he moved and kissed my forehead before leaving the room.

As he did silence fell upon me, now it's just me and my thoughts. The depression began to cripple and ripple inside of my bones as I laid in the dark.

Flashback

Yelling could be heard from downstairs in the small home where I slept.

I had a major fight with my boyfriend and decided to spend the night at a friend's and her husband's, maybe that wasnt a good idea bcs they were fighting for the 4th time in a row, the same argument about me and how to get me out the situation I was in.

"Maybe If I was there sooner, met her sooner I could have stopped her from this dumbass decision!" Sofia slammed her hands on the counter, she looked tired or maybe crying. Her husband Sam, had been sitting at the dinner table with books and packets or papers.

I ran back up the steps not able to handle the pressure that I felt as a burden. Suddenly thoughts and words ran into my head.

Worthless

Trash

Shut

If you weren't alive the world would be slightly different.

Searching the chores I lifted the last ones plating and grabbed the box of razors I hid years ago here when I lived with Sofia before she was married.

I dug deep till it hurt, after a few minutes I washed my marks and looked in the mirror.

My hair was a washy greyish red, losing its color like my skin and face altogether, my eyes were drained and I had dark circles. I looked like shit like I haven't slept in days.

Shaking my head I opened my eyes to find vixz still in front of me.

"Sh.. just sleep ash you'll be okay" His voice felt like it did before soft and very close.

I think I imagined the entire encounter a few seconds ago but I said nothing as I gripped onto his warm hand. His hand was bigger then mine, long slender fingers and small rings and scars surrounding the webs between. It was very warm too.

"I want you to stay" I whispered closing my eyes again and laying back against the soft pillow of his but I never once let go of his hand.

He didn't move or leave and I took it as he would watch over me, I took this as a way to grip his hand tightly intertwining our fingers regardless of the size difference before I drifted off to sleep again.

"I'm sorry for the things you endure, sleep well gingerbread" those were the last words I heard before falling into a warm and soft cushioned sleep.
