Tangled in Tension.

Chapter 14.

Another hour passed. Both Violet and I had gotten showered and changed, and now, we were walking towards Sophies dorm.

"You okay?" Violet asked, nudging me with her elbow slightly as we were walking.

I nodded my head as i turned to look at her, worry in her eyes.

"Yea-"

"Clem, Vi." A feminine voice called out from behind us which i recognised as Brodys.

Both of us stopped and glanced over our shoulders, seeing Marlon and Brody walking towards us. They looked worried, with small frowns on their faces.

"Hey guys." I said, putting on a small smile as they got closer.

"Are you okay?" Marlon asked before Brody could, shoving his hands into his pockets. I think he just wanted to hide his bruised hands, so i didn't feel bad.

I nodded my head. "Im fine."

"You don't always have to be fine." Brody frowned as both of them were now stood infront of us.

"I am." I mumbled. "Im just getting over it."

"We're always here if you need us. You know that." Marlon smiled reassuringly, nodding his head slightly.

"You've told me many times before." I said, a weak smile tugging on my lips.

"And we'll keep telling you." Brody added with determination in her voice.

"You guys heading to Sophies?" Violet asked.

"Yeah, everyones there i think. Except us." Marlon murmured.

We started to walk after that, talking until we made it to Sophies. Marlon didn't even stop at the door to knock, he just pushed his way in while we followed. He was right too. Everyone was there, spread out around the room. Cassy, Skylar and Sophie were sat on Sophies bed sat up against the wall, while Louis was sat on the desk and Jax was sat on the desk chair, his feet kicked up on the desk. All heads turned as Marlon opened the door which made me feel alot tenser. They all looked worried and down, they had 100% been talking about it. Topic of the day and that.

"Hey guys." Marlon murmured, seemed to be a bit put off by the fact the room was filled with silence.

"Hey." Louis murmured quietly, staring at me and not Marlon.

"How are you doing Clem?" Jax asked straight away, his eyes filled with worry and guilt. I knew he felt guilty for not doing something earlier.

"Im fine." I sighed quietly, making my way over to the bed opposite Sophies. "Nothing really happened anyway, it doesn't matter."

"It does." Sophie said quickly and softly as Violet took a seat beside me, looking at me with worry. "Even if nothing did happen because Jax and Cassy walked in."

"Yeah i don't mean to sound like a prick or anything bringing it up but.. who knows what he would've done if we hadn't have walked in." Jax said quietly, not wanting to remind me of it but wanting to make a point as Cassy nodded in agreement.

"Jax is right." Cassy added.

"Have any of you spoke to him?" Violet asked as she carefully and subtly moved her knee slightly, brushing it against mine and keeping it there, giving me some sense of comfort in this shit show of a situation. Even if it was a small gesture.

"He rang me this morning." Skylar said, shifting around uncomfortably.

I watched as Marlon raised his eyebrows slightly. "And?"

"I answered and acted like i didn't know anything 'cause i wanted to know what he'd say. He said how he wasn't going to do anything to you, he was just drunk, and that you all made it out to be so much worse-"
