You trust me right?| Kotlc Story

Trauma

Count down: 4 days left

I'm pretty much a concealer professional at this point, the amount that's under my eyes at the moment is probably something I should be concerned about.

But instead I was ashamed, ashamed of how I couldn't even hold myself together while my friends were struggling. I was ashamed that I had spent all night puking over stupid nightmares. Ashamed that the guilt was breaking me and I didn't even have the guts to admit it. I'm ashamed of everything really, everything that my idiotic self did to screw up everything.

But I plastered a fake smile on my face to help convince sandor I could go to the meeting. He promised to not tell Edaline and Grady about last night. But he still insisted I needed rest. And I may or may not have responded with.
"I'll have plenty of time to rest In like four days!" I saw him cringe and immediately regretted it.

"Sorry! I just need to do everything I can to make things right."

"Make what right? " he asked.

"For all the stuff yesterday."

"Ms foster none of that is your fault at all! In fact if they can't see that maybe they need to reconsider their life choices. Because blaming you is a ridiculous excuse to get the anger and sadness of their chests. Do you understand?"

"Yes." I'm mumbled. Knowing Arguing wouldn't help me get out of here int he slightest. I grabbed his thick goblin arm and pulled him as he grumbled a whole lot of goblin curses.(Probably forgetting that I was a polyglot) I led him to the leap master deciding my head hurt a little to much from the vomiting to teleport .

"Rimeshire!" I yelled out. Usually the meeting would be held here but we didn't want to put everyone back in the room where we found out about Alden. And Everglen was definitely out of the question, so that left Dex's ice castle of a home.

My fake smile immediately shifted to one of pain as I clutched my head. Damn stupid messed up head. I cringed as I remembered the last time I had got headaches from light leaping the black swan had had to do an "ability reset".
"Soph?"Dex's voice asked and I heard footsteps approaching.

"SHOOT" I thought.

"What's wrong? did you hurt your head?"
"No, it's okay it just a slight headache."

"Right because when Sophie gets a slight headache she crumples in pain and clutches her head?" He raised an eyebrow in challenge.

"Saw all that huh?"

"Yep. Seriously what's wrong?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary, just a headache from the light leap. I will talk to Mr forkle later. Don't worry about it Dex."

He sighed. "Sophie you can trust me. I'm your best friend."

"I know Dex, but I really don't think this is worth a second thought, considering the circumstances of the messed up crap going on right now."

"Sophie, listen to me. Your health is worth it. Your worth it." His voice cracked a little.

"Dex I'm fine seriously!" I gestured to my perfectly intact head that was still pounding, but he didn't need to know that.

"Guys! We're starting!" Stina's voice yelled.

"Okay, be right there!" He yelled back. Then he turned back to me giving me a steady glare.

"This conversation isn't over."
I nodded and followed him inside.

He led me through the house and I must have looked pretty confused at the sparkly clean,quiet house.
He chuckled, "the triplets are being watched by livey."
