Running Out Of Time

Chocolate

Amelia-Rose

I felt pain pulsing through my veins, every inch of my body aced, my eyes strained to open. The light caused a flash of pain to whip through my head, I hiss and my hands fly to my temples. I heard shuffling and a hand was gently placed on my forehead. 

"Shh, you're okay, just lay down and sleep princess." I instantly relaxed at the voice. I felt my eyes getting heavy. The person got up to leave but I quickly grabbed their hand before it left my head.

"Don't leave." I whispered in a hoarse voice. I barely heard myself. But luckily they did.

"Never princess" He whispered in my ear, then laid down next to me and wrapped his strong arms around my waist pulling me close. I felt safe and whole. Then I fell back to sleep.

When I woke up I was alone, I felt an ace in my heart, why didn't he stay? I felt like crap, my hole body was acing and sore, I could feel a harsh headache coming on, when I full open my eyes I saw I was in my room, I had been changed into the top that J had left for me. I felt a little warm inside at the thought. How had I got home and changed though? What happened after I passed out? Where's my car?

All this thinking hurt my brain, I groaned and looked over at my clock 11 am, next to my clock was a glass of water, a couple of tablets and a note. I quickly took the pills and downed the water. I picked up the note and read the messy writing.

Princess,

Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up, I will be one day though, I promise.

Anyway, you had a car crash, you shouldn't text and drive princess, you could have been killed, then what I do without you, you had me so worried! I saw the crash and came and got you I brought you home and cleaned you up. The pills and water is to subside the pain.

Go and take a bath and relax, don't move too much.

See you soon- J xx

I don't even know what to think. He cares abut me so much and I don't even know his name... That's it I'm going to find out who this guy is- as soon as I eat and have a bath. I slowly stand up and walk to the bathroom, when I'm inside the lights are dim and I see the bath full with water and a layer of bubbles, candles light all around and the amazing smell of roses and jasmine. I take a step toward the bath but stop when I feel something under my feet, I look down and see rose petals laid out leading to the bath. He must have done this before I woke up, wow, I've never been treated like this before. I blush at how sweet the gesture is.

I strip and get into the bath, it's the perfect temperature. Instantly my muscles relax from the oils. I sigh and close my eyes. Only then I realize there is light music playing. "This is perfect" I whisper to myself. 

"You're perfect" someone whispers in my ear, I jump and my eyes snap open, I look to my left but there's no one there. My heart speeds up but no one is in the room, maybe I just imaged it.

When I get out of the bathroom a large mans top had been slayed out and a slick pair of pajama shorts, I put it on without a second thought. I could smell the amazing aftershave. I sigh with happiness. I dried my hair letting it fall into natural waves. 

I slumped down the stairs and heard voices. Who's hear? Wait what day is it! I run into the leaving room and see my brothers' and Chase, I run up to them and hugged them as hard as possible.

"I missed you guys so much" I whispered to them.

"Awh we missed you too." Reece hugged me back tightly. When they pulled away, their faces changed to concern and anger. I suddenly got worried, oh no what's happened.

"Amelia-Rose what happened to your face." I furrowed my eyebrows, my face?

"Geez I know I'm ugly, you don't have to point it out!" I joked putting my hands up in surrender. 

They all shook their heads, looking angrier. 

"No Mia! What happened to your face!" Chase demanded.

"What do you mean?" My hands flew to my face, I hissed in pain. I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My left eye was swollen and blue and purple and I had a cut running though my eyebrow to my nose. I also had a busted lip, I gaped. In the mirror I noticed the three boys behind me at the door with expecting looks.

"I got in a car accident yesterday." I sheepishly admitted.

"You did what!" Kyle shouted. "You're never driving again." He carried on.

My mouth hung open. 

"How could you be so stupid Amelia!" Reece shouted at me. 

"All we do is try and protect you, you can't even look after your self!" Reece carried on

"Our lives revolve around keeping you safe and alive, but what's the point all you do is get in 'accidents', you try to kill yourself I swear!" Reece shouted

"You're so selfish!" Kyle shouts agreeing with Reece. 

"Why do we even bother!" Reece shouts. I start crying. Realization hits their faces' at what they just said. They open their mouths but I don't give then a chance. 

"You're right" I mumble and push past them, I storm up to my room, I hear them shout my name. I slam the door and lock it, I turn around and lean against it, I slowly slide down and put my head in my knees and sob uncontrollably. 

After a while I stopped crying, my brothers had been knocking not stop, apologizing and begging me to let them in, they eventually gave up, but I knew they were outside the door still. I looked at the time 2am.. I crawled into my bed and grabbed my phone.

J: Don't look down princess, your crown will fall. X 

I felt my heart ace. I smile through my tears.
