Snow Patrol- Run

My eyes fluttered open to Eric sleeping soundly beside me. My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes trailed over the position we were both in. He was shirtless, I don't even want to know whatever else he had uncovered, but as I lifted up the cover ever so slightly I noticed I was only in my underwear.

Oh no.

Not again.

I quietly pulled myself out of the bed, staying as silent as I could and moving as swiftly as I could manage without waking him up. Again, I couldn't remember a thing about the night before, I cringed at my self for being so stupid.

Why do I drink?

I tried to ignore the pounding in my head as I made my escape, but it was too overpowering. As I bent over to pull my clothes on that were sprawled out on the floor I almost toppled over, dizziness over took me and I quickly sat down on the bed. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down, I heard Eric shuffle in between the sheets, my body froze without meaning to. I wanted to run, to get out of here. Not only was I disappointed with myself for letting this happen again, I was angry with myself for wanting it to happen again.

Eric is a leader...

I could never be with him like I wanted to.

I am an initiate...

When I thought it was safe to do so I steadily stood up. I pulled my top over my head, bent down and picked up my boots before tiptoeing away. I opened his door and stood in the door way, I took one last glance back at the sleeping Eric. He looked so peaceful, so harmless, sprawled out in his bed, his white sheets made his already tanned skin seem so much more sun kissed.

He looked happy.

I let out a gasp as I turned my head back to the corridor. Alex was stood a few doors down, he was staring at me with wide eyes. He shook his head in disgust before he walked away.

"Alex!" I whisper shouted, my heart pounding in my chest. Oh no.

"Sam?" A sleepy deep voice asked from inside the room. I glanced back at Eric as he sat up on his bed, wiping his face with his large hand. He then blinked a few times as he stared at me.

"Sam, don'-" he began but I cut him off by stepping out into the hall and shutting the door again. I couldn't face it. Then I sprinted off to find Alex. My loud footsteps echoed down the dauntless halls. I slowed down, almost giving up.

"I'm not angry with her, I'm angry with him. He shouldn't take advantage of her like that," I heard Alex's hushed voice, I followed it quietly until I reached the corner where he was talking to someone. I kept out of sight.

"We need to talk to Sam about this, the video in the control room shows Eric carrying her into his room, whether she was asleep or drunk I don't know. We have to ask her what happened before any more assumptions are made." Four explained, it was four. Of course it would be four. Trouble is, I don't remember what happened last night apart from getting on the train. Eric and I went on a train ride, what happened after that is a blur, in fact, it's non existent. Wait, what kind of assumptions?

"I swear, if he touched her in anyway without her consent, I will kill him. She's just a kid! Oh why didn't she listen to my warning?" Alex asked Four.

Oh. That kind of assumption. I had to go back to Eric and ask him what happened, I need to get every detail, so he doesn't get in trouble for something he hasn't done. I turned on my heel and sprinted towards Eric's room, once I was there I just walked straight in. I shut the door behind me, quietly. I couldn't risk knocking on the door when it would be so loud and could wake up other leaders. As I walked in I looked around the room.
