28📚| Alaina

After that he left. He left me crying on the bed, in pain and just walked through the door. I admit he tried to get me to talk to him but I just couldn't, I was afraid of him in that moment, he didn't seem like the professor I knew, even though I don't think I knew him at all.

That morning I got up and tried to leave as quick as possible, even without showering. I grabbed one of his shirt and a shorts before bolting out of there, I hailed a taxi and gave them the instructions to my home. On the way there I tried to call Alaina again but her phone went straight to voicemail, I was starting to get worried. I wanted to blame the guy we met at the bar but Kyle said Alaina had come with us or did he? I held my head in my hands and pressed the dial button but once again her phone went straight to voicemail.

"Dammit!" I shouted, earning a glance from the Uber driver. "Sorry."

I let out a sigh to try and calm myself down, maybe if I went to school she would be there, hopefully she hasn't been skipping school like I was. The thought to call her father came up in my head but what if I was just being paranoid and everything about RNK comes out because of how suspicious I've been? What if Alaina has found out and is upset with me? I bit my nails and shook my feet to ease the anxiety coursing through my veins, maybe I should speak to Dr. Green.

Yeah that's a great idea. I searched through my contacts and my finger hovered over her number but I decided against it and instead waited to head into school to see her.

I rerouted the driver and paid him extra for the mishap, before pulling up to the university. The school was busy as usual but so was my heart, this school holds so much pain and heartache. From finding out cillian cheated, to witnessing the Rochester night killer to... Professor Norman. It was all pain, but atleast we did have some good times, times I could look back at at smile. Now it seems our illusion was coming to an end, him trying to put a stop to something that was never supposed to happen and me clinging onto him. Alaina was right maybe this was for the best. A single tear slid from my eyes and I used his shirt to wipe it away.

God I looked like a fricking mess. Why didn't I go home and change? What if cillian and his new girlfriend sees me? Would it be obvious that I'm coming from a man's home?

I chewed on my bottom lips and kept my head low to save face. I just needed to hurry is all. Dr. Green's office was just a few feet away and when I twisted the knob and entered I felt like I could breath again. To my surprise but relief she wasn't in here, it gave me time to catch a breath before she saw me, she did have a way of drawing out all the emotions I try to keep at bay. I sighed and looked around the office, it was the same but once my eyes landed on the file cabinet the lewd but intrusive thought came.

Should I do it?

I glanced at the door and then at the clock, it seems she's at lunch then, if it's twelve fifteen? I'll just give myself five minutes to look through, it shouldn't take long. I twisted the lock on the door and rushed over to the file cabinet, of course it was filled with confidential information about students, staff and lecturers but I was only here to see one.

"Norman, Norman, Norman." I sorted through the files in alphabetical order, only searching the files in letter K and N. That's when my finger paused, the name Kyle Aries Norman was written in bold across the folder, I took another quick glance at the door before taking Dr. Green's seat. I opened the file and sucked in a breath before I began reading, at first there was nothing much, just your typical identification and background.

Something did struck me as odd though, he had a hobby of creating props or fake body parts, was that something he should tell the doctor? And how come I've never heard of that? I shrugged it off and nothing out of the ordinary and continued searching.
