Ribbon In The Wind

Ribbon In The Wind [ 4 ]

Chapter Four:

I got to the point that I had cried so much I was merely just numb, I just lied in bed staring at the ceiling not really comprehending anything. I roll to the side and before I realized that I was already on the end of the bed I was plummeting to the floor, I landed with a massive thump, I groaned in pain.

I hear footsteps coming to the door and before I have the chance to yell out leave me alone my door swings open and my mother is standing in the doorway.

“Sweetie, uh I swear she was in here” I listen to my mother state in a confused tone like she was certain I was in here “sorry she must be in the bathroom you can wait in here if you like I’m sure she wont be too long and if she is you can come back down stairs to watch TV” 

I think to myself, whom in the world is she talking to. Someone, chuckles and it comes apparent it is a guy.

“Thank you Mrs. Johnson ill just wait for her in here, im sure she wont be too long.”

I listen to my mother footsteps a they leave and get distant as she get further down the corridor but there is also another pair walking towards my bed. Oh god the person she was talking to is entering my room.

I groan again as I attempt to lift myself off the floor, I hear a sudden gasp and intake of breath. All of a sudden I have a face staring at me from over the bed. Jason is looking down at me.

“Omg Grace what are you doing on the floor? Did you sleep there seriously if I had a bed like this I would never get out of it.”

“Oh you know I just casually attacked the floor”

“With your back?”

“Yeah I’m incredibly talented, NO! I fell of the bed stupid wanna give me a hand to get up or are you just going to stare at my pretty face all day?”

Jason smiles and then laughs at me. “Now that sounds like a good idea” he then places one hand under his chin to support his face as he stares down at me.

I stiffen as I realize what he’s doing and I quickly sit up to stop him from staring at me. I rub the back of my head and then slowly get up and then flop on my bed next to him.

“Bad day huh?”

“More like Bad night, morning and day”

I close my eyes remembering the past events of last night and I shiver from the dream that woke me and kept me up the rest of the night.

“What happened you seemed fine when I dropped you off”

I roll over and bury my head into my pillow. I start to feel Jason’s hands playing with my hand, moving it away from my face. He then places his head next to my ear and whispers.

“C’mon Grace holding it in wont do you any good. Talk to me”

I turn my head to look at him, I didn't realize how close our faces were going to be so when I open my eyes and see the gap is only a few inches I quickly pull away and place my head on the very end of my pillow.

“Jason keeping it in is the best I can do, if I tell you, you will think I’m crazy and you run away screaming and ill then be left alone”

“Grace no matter how hard you try I’m not gonna leave you, you have done nothing to me to make me leave.”

I want to keep him safe I just have the sudden urge to, I can’t let him get hurt and with the guys now in the picture the chances of everything getting bad again is very high. I didn't realize the tears building up in my eyes until one made a surprise escape. Jason quickly wipes it away with his finger. He then pulls me into a hug and he just lies there with me in his arms while I cry, for everything I have lost, Luke, life, love.
