Happily Trapped

11 | Anticipation

"What- how" I try to say but my head still feels too clouded to keep up. 

"You had a really bad fever, and it was trying to kill you, and to make matters worse you wouldn't stop moving it seemed like you were having a night terror, so Aria told me she had to revile the phone I spoke to someone and then went to the kidnapping location and got kidnapped and was brought to this room tied up with a bag over my head they released me and I saw you going crazy in your sleep fever and all so I ran over shoving doctors out of my way and held your hand and just spoke to you. Boom I saved the day oh and I guess all the doctors helped too" he said jokingly in a heroic voice but very low pointing at the sleeping Aria holding my left hand. 

I managed a small smile. I swear he and Aria are so alike. The memory of my mother popped into my mind. 

"Talk to Liam" She had said 

I focus on Liam again who is still looking at me calmly relaxing his head on his hand with his elbow on the bed. His brown kinky hair calmly rested on his face. His green eyes fixed on me. 

"Crimson......Phoenix" I mutter under my breath 

Liam snaps his head, stiffly up straight in his chair looking at me in surprise. His grip on my hand tightens as he watches me. The dream wasn't fake. It can't be possible. 

"H-how do you k-" Liam began. 

There is a soft knock on the door.

"Come on in," Liam said schooling his emotions going back to his cool persona. 

Domenic enters. He looks at me and we make eye contact it is intense and it last for a second before his eyes run over Aria and then make it to Liam.  They both stare for a minute. 

"Get them ready and one of my assistants will come and get you all eventually," Domenic says to Liam in a boss-like way. 

"I'll think about it," Liam says casually. 

Domenic turns and leaves the room slamming the door behind him and waking Aria up with a jump scare. Does that guy not know how to close a door quietly like talk about a character flaw or should I say skill issue, either way, this guy has problems, Aria looks up at me and Liam smiling. She gives one big hug together. 

"Alright, enough of this let's hurry and get ready. We have a lot we need to talk about" Liam says seriously. 

Aria and I nod knowing better than to question Liam. Liam helps me to a door by the balcony when I walk in all I can do is gasp in awe at how amazing this bathroom is. It's about the size of the kitchen and living and then some. There is a glass shower that looks like it's floating off the ground. You can see where we are from under and all around you. There is a tub separate from the shower and the tub is huge it can fit three people in it comfortably. There are triple sinks with double faucets for each one. There are marble floors that you can see your reflection in. The toilet is huge. This bathroom looks like something from a movie. I must have been staring too long because Liam started dragging me inside giving me the "hurry up" look. 

"You can manage the rest alone right or do I have to bathe you as well" he said concern present in his voice. 

"Don't get snappy with me now Lucifer" I said jokingly. 

"Never that Chloe," He says heading to the door and looking at me one last time with concern or maybe it was pity. I'm sure it's a pity. 

"If you need anything I'll be right out here with Aria picking out clothes for us to wear," he said before closing the door. 

I turn around and head for the tub turning the water on. I watch it fill up for a while before slowly looking around the bathroom again. I notice a door in the corner and walk to it. I open it to find towels and washcloths. There is every color you can think of and more you wouldn't think of. I picked a blue towel and rag and held back to the tub. Slowly, I do not want to overdo it. The tub isn't filled even halfway yet, so I head over to the sinks and look inside one of the cabinets to see a first aid advanced kit, toothpaste, floss, extra hand soaps, shampoos, conditioners, razors, and- my eyes zoomed back to the razors. There is a brand-new pack sitting there. I grab it and open the box pulling one out holding it in my hand. It's been too long since I've punished myself and I have a long list of stuff I have done. I put the razor over my wrist.
