Fine

Chapter 5

"Ash! Ash wake up!" I opened my eyes and groaned. My head hurt like hell. I was still in the shower. I looked and saw Emmitt. I watched him drape a towel over me. I could barely move. I felt so sick, like I had the flu but ten times worse. I slowly got up, struggling to keep the towel in place.

"Go lay in my bed." Emmitt said. I did as told and shuffled over to it. It took forever but I finally made it.

"I did some research. You're gonna be sick for the next couple days. I texted your mom and told her you're gonna be staying here for a bit. If you went home like this it would be obvious to her." I nodded and groaned. Emmitt brought a pair of boxers over to me. He put them around my ankles and pulled them up to my knees.

"Yeah, you can do the rest." Emmitt said awkwardly turning around. I flung the towel off of me, it was making me hot, and pulled the boxers up around my waist. I groaned to tell Emmitt I was done. He turned around and gave me a sympathetic look.

"This sucks." I said but my words came out slurred.

"Shh, just rest." I listened to him and before I knew it I was asleep again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm finally better now. The whole time I was sick I stayed at Emmitt's. It was a terrible three days. I felt the bed shift and saw Emmitt had sat down right next to me.

"So you know how you said you woke up in a bed?" He asked.

"Yeah?" Where was he going with this?

"Well, do you remember what the guy looked like?"

"Grey eyes." Emmitt's mouthed opened into the shape of an 'O'.

There was silence then my phone buzzed. I looked and saw it was a text from Austin. 'Mom said it's time to come home'

"I have to go, my mom said so. Thanks for everything." I said getting up. He smiled and said goodbye. I walked out of his house and down the street to my own. I couldn't find my key so I had to ring the doorbell. When it finally opened I couldn't believe my eyes.

Staring back at me were a pair of grey eyes.

"Oh my god!" Grey Eyes said laughing. Austin came up behind him, confusion all over his face.

"We know each other." Grey Eyes said.

"I don't even know your name!" I exclaimed. I really wanted to find out his name.

"It's Spencer." Austin said. It fits him. Spencer laughed as I pushed past him to get inside my own house. I walked straight up to my room trying to ignore the fact that a rapist was in my living room. I went to my bed and layed down trying to relax. I was rudely interrupted by the sound of my door opening. I looked up and saw no other than Spencer. He closed the door behind him and walked over to me. He had a strange smile on his face. The kind that said "I know something you don't!". He sat down next to me and grabbed me face hard. His smile vanished and was replaced with seriousness.

"I'm not afraid to hurt you if you don't listen to me." He said, his voice full of venom. He took his hand sharply across my face and left.

I was shaking and tears were threatening to spill. I hadn't been this scared since I was about 5. I didn't know what to do. Thoughts were rushing through my mind.

Was he serious? What would he do? What does he want me to do? Why is Austin with him? Are they friends? Will he come back? What will Austin tell him about me? Do I tell Austin what happened?

I was scared, hopeless, and helpless.

I heard a flush and watched as Spencer walked by. I prayed he wouldn't stop but of course he did. He stood in the doorway, just staring at me. I tried to read his face for any emotion but there were none.

"Why are you here?" I asked. He smiled.

"Me and your brother have known each other for a long time." He said walking away. I thought about it and I remembered him mentioning a Spencer before.

I couldn't believe it was the same person. Austin made his sound so nice and incredible to be around. Who knew he was actually a huge dick.

I got up and walked out of my room. I strategically placed myself on the steps, out of sight from Austin and Spencer. I wanted to know what they were doing together.

"His boyfriend died." I heard Austin's voice. My heart stopped. Why had he told him that?

"He's gay?" I heard Spencer ask.

"Bi, actually." Damn straight. I'm not gay and it offends me when people say I am.

"Oh ok. When did he start?" Start what?!

"I don't know. I think he's been doing it for awhile. It scares me. He's such a nice kid, why wouldn't people like him?" Oh god. Are they seriously talking about this?! That's personal!

"I don't know. He seems cool."

"He is. I wish I could help him but as much as I try he never listens. He doesn't realize he's basically on the edge. He does drugs and drinks all the time and I'm worried one day he'll come home and do something stupid, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah." I got up. I couldn't listen anymore. How could Austin do that? I trusted him and instead he went and blabbed all my secrets to a rapist. I walked back to my room and layed on my bed. Before I knew it I was asleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up with a need to pee. I got up and ran to the bathroom, I couldn't hold it for much longer. I went inside, light off, and peed. It was calming. To be surrounded only by the darkness, my thoughts, and the sound of my piss hitting the water.

When I walked out I noticed someone else in the hallway. I recognized the body as Madi. She was walking slowly down the steps.

"Madi?" I said quietly. She jumped and turned around. I noticed she was practically naked. Her clothes were so revealing I felt like a pervert just looking at her.

"What the hell are you wearing?" I said. She looked nervous.

"I'm just going to see my friends." She said trying to keep quiet.

"You're thirteen! Put on some clothes."

"Whatever." She walked back to her room. Whether or not she changed, I don't know because after that I went back to bed and fell asleep again.
