Hybrid 14.7: Communication is key

I blinked. I recognized the ceiling of our house, but I had a time remembering how I even got here. Besides...I was staring at a huge black fluffy ball that was curled beside me. I blinked my hands fluttering through the fur delicately.

"Yoongi?" I risked.

Slowly, the huge cat stretched as it turned his golden eyes towards me. And at that moment, I felt very...prey like. The panther approached you and you backed away against the headrest.

"You are not going to eat me are you?" You whispered half-joking half serious.

The panther settled on your laps and leaned his head on your chest, tapping its tail impatiently. I blinked.

"Do you want...pets?" I whispered as I began scratching between his ears.

The whole bed began vibrating as the panther purred loudly. You continued for a few minutes until you heard your father approach. He knocked and stepped inside the room. A bit surprised by the scene, he chuckled as the panther yowled unhappily as you were distracted from the petting session.

"I see that he shifted." He smiled "How are you feeling?" Cha asked as he sat beside his daughter as she continued petting him.

"Conflicted." I whispered.

It was the truth. I knew I felt guilty and at the same time I was also angry at Vanessa. I also felt like a child throwing a tantrum when I cried for so long against Jungkook. Who had a very sturdy chest by the way? I blushed thinking about it.

"You're blushing so it can't be that bad. Yoongi, if you would shift to have breakfast with us." My mom called.

"I'll take a quick shower." I whisper "One thing I'm glad is that I didn't dirty Hector's dress. I would have been sad." I whisper as I look at the pink dress that is hung near my closet.

"Hector was pissed last night. All the hybrids and humans were pissed at Vanessa and her father." Cha said "I want to talk about what happened exactly by the way." He looked at me.

"Leave me a day to think." I whispered.

"Take your shower, daughter. Then breakfast and then we'll talk."

As I stepped into the shower, it was steaming hot. I let the water wash off everything. I wanted it to erase the touch of that man on my skin. I felt so repulsed. So dirtied by it. A lurching feeling made me cough and the need to vomit made me step out of the shower in a hurry and empty my stomach in the toilet.

"Fuck." I whispered as my throat was burning.

"Elana? Did you just vomit? Are you alright?" My dad knocked on the door.

"I'm (cough, cough) fine." I sighed "Give me a minute."

I returned under the shower and tried to distract my own mind from going back to the memories I didn't want to remember. I washed myself thoroughly, brushed my teeth twice and dried my hair. I didn't have class today...I stepped inside my closet after verifying my room was empty. Right away a hoodie caught my attention, it smelled so strongly like mint...I put it on and it almost made me a mini dress. I grabbed some shorts and smiled as I inhaled.

"Jimin gave it to me this morning." Yoongi was leaning against the door of my room and I smiled.

"It smells like him." I whispered "I really like it."

Without a warning, Yoongi snapped a picture of me. I widened my eyes and ran to him. But it was too late, I watched the picture being opened by Jimin, being screened. Once. Twice. Being registered into a private file. Being registered inside the gallery.
