Breaking Apathy

Chapter 24: The Veil of Kain

SO hey! It seems that I'm unable to end the book with one chapter *cue gasps and yays, grunts and 'oh no'* lol! I guess I can go on with the romance and such because I'd feel like a failure. So sorry if you're strained by this but I was trying to figure out what i must do :)

I opened my eyes abruptly, having no recollection of the sleep I fell in to. I was on the floor with the blankets tangled around me, simultaneously warming me and choking the circulation to my left arm and right leg. A groan escaped me and I shifted to look around while untangling myself. My room was dark and cold, no beams of light reaching in from the window and no hope of it warming up as I stood without the blankets. Surely I could allow myself to sleep in this time round, especially with the cold possessing this space. Therefore my decision was easy. I picked up my blankets and settled on to my bed, freezing for a bit before relaxing comfortably. Out of curiosity, I reached for my phone and touched the screen for the time. 5:13 glowed back at me. It was surprising but I guess the floor wasn’t that comfortable after all.

My eyes shut and I dwindled in and out of a deep sleep. Seconds later though, a foreign noise attracted me back to consciousness. It was giggling and groans. I re-opened my eyes slightly, yawning while trying to decipher what I could be hearing. Fragments of a dream? Nope. The more I listened the more I could hear shushing noises and Candice moaning. These walls were really paper thin. I sat up and covered my eyes with my palms, sighing with a heavy feeling of sleep on my shoulders. Kain groaned and Candice giggled once more. My stomach turned. I couldn’t sit here and listen to this. It’s majorly disturbing. Tossing the blankets aside, I stood up and headed to Taylors’ room, knocking on his door lightly and hearing a groan in response. I walked in and closed the door behind me, turning  to look at Taylor sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

“We have to wake already?” he mumbled sleepily.

“No. Kain and Candice are screwing and I can hear it clearly. I don’t want nightmares,” I explained walking to his bed before I sat on it and laid down beside him.

Taylor chuckled and shook his head.

“His a lucky mofo. Dude, if you’re going to crash here, at least jump in to the blankets. It’s uncomfortable,” Taylor informed me before turning around and falling asleep once more.

I complied, facing the opposite way and getting in the blankets. In a matter of mere seconds, I had fallen asleep once more. My dreams were so strange.

I woke up again. The light from the window disabled me from opening my eyes wide but I got used to it after a few seconds. The room was empty, Taylor nowhere in sight and in close proximity. Usually he is loud enough to hear so I can safely assume that he is out of the house. Mentally coercing myself to get up, I managed to get my feet off the bed and sit up. The time had escaped me and for once I can agree with the feeling Taylor used to tell me about – sleeping in did feel great.

My hands crawled through my hair and ruffled it, my eyes shifting from object to object on the ground. Taylor was a messy being. I say this because of his clothes that were scattered all over the floor as opposed to the clean room I saw earlier this morning. Inhaling a deep breath and exhaling, I stood to head to my room to change. But something didn’t feel right. I looked down and face palmed groaning in to my hand and muttering some incoherent cuss words. Taylor had removed my boxers in my sleep leaving my bottom half stark naked. However, he wasn’t mentally developed enough to pack away all his clothings so I followed the trail of clothes to his bag and rummaged through it for a decent pair of pants. I slipped them on once I found them and headed out of the room.
