Feeling's Fade.

Crazy Hair, Swollen Lips, and Smug Smiles.

Chapter 13

Cole nods carefully and the roles over, he begins to drift into sleep while I'm frantically trying to get a hold of what I had just said.

I'm in love with Reece still, after all, he has done, I still can forgive him and move on. Maybe Reece will understand why I need space. Maybe he will forgive me. I have already forgiven him I guess in my mind. I mean we're not together, he doesn't have the same feelings for me and he obviously likes Mia. So I guess, I was wrong and he was right all along. I hate myself right now. How could I possibly be so dumb! I'm sharing a bed with Cole Turner! Cole Freaking Turner! What the hell is wrong with me?

I jump up grabbing the jumper he bought and chucking it over my head, I take some sweat pants, which must e Cole's and I quickly put my legs into each hole. Cole's stirs in his sleep. I silently slip out of the room and make my way to the front door. I quickly run out, slamming the door harder than usual and my legs carry me down the steps, past Cole's motorbike, past the mailbox, and down the pitch-black road in the middle of a forest.

I finally get to the clearing and it leads out onto the main road. What the hell am I thinking? How am I supposed to get back home, when I don't even know where I am! I scream in frustration and follow the road to the right. Maybe I can get a lift? Stupid, stupid, stupid! I spin around, looking for any car heading my way but the road just carries on for miles in the opposite direction. I begin to walk fast to the way we had come.

The black tar stretches in a straight line to the horizon, the forest stopping and lining up along the road. The sky is dark but stars shine as if it's just another day. The large moon is off in the distance, above my head mocking me. I sigh and begin to walk faster. Hopefully, the petrol station isn't far.

About half an hour after a familiar roar came from behind me. Cole. I turn around and see a large death machine heading towards me. An angry, very angry Cole is coming at me. He slows down, skidding his bike in front of me like he had done on my first ride home.

"Paislee? What the hell are you doing?" He yells at me, his voice breaking the silence as if we are the only two people in the world.

"Getting away from you!" I scream back trying to walk past him, but he lunges off his bike and grabs my arm, stopping me in my tracks, I turn rapidly and Cole stares me down. "Get off me!" I try to slip out of his hold but it's no use, his arms flex, gripping tighter. "Cole! You're hurting me." Tears begin to well up in my eyes, as he doesn't let go.

"Paislee, you have no clue where you're going! And if I let go you're just going to run off again!" He growls angrily pulling me towards his motorbike.

"I want to go home. Away from you." I yell, standing my ground, my throat beginning to clamp up at the thought of being away from everyone. No one knows where I am. He could have done something and no one would know. I try to pull from his grasp but he stalks closer, his breath on my nose.

"What has gotten into you? I thought we had a deal?" a scowl comes out of his voice, he rolls his eyes and tried again, pulling me closer to his bike. "Let's go back to the cabin." He grunts and I pull back from him again. The cold beginning to get to me, I want to scream and kick but I know that he is stronger and he can do way much harm to me, so I stay and I gulp down my emotions and wipe my eyes from the tears daring to fall.

"I'm not going back there, Cole. I'm sick of being told what to do, just want to go back to my old life, pretend as if nothing has happened." Something shines in his eyes, but he is unreadable. "Please?"
