His Bet

Chapter Fifty Three

After a couple of ten minutes we finally came home carefully shutting the main door.

"I'll follow you in the maids room sweetheart." He whispered at me, I nodded in response and get my way to the maids room and silently shut it behind me. I slumped my body on the bed and suddenly felt tired.

"I..I c-cut myself."

Pathetic Ace. I just admit it in front of two people and especially with Brix. I'm not ready to tell him those things. I've already told him part of my night terrors and how the hell started in my life. There is so much more.. So much more I don't want him to know.. Too much for my handling. It'll just bring everything back.. I didn't notice I was already crying when I felt that my cheeks are wet. I silently cried for all the pain I've gone through. Its all too much. Everyday I just pretend that I'm fine and okay, I even let Brix be that close to me and yet I loose it when something triggers. How stupid.

I quickly wipe my tears away and blink my eyes to clear it from being a bit blur as I heard the door shut but I kept my head down low. His footsteps were light as he approach me.

"Drink water baby." I heard him say as he handed me a glass of cold water. I shakily get the glass from him and drank it down, letting the coldness run through my dry throat. He get it from me and put above the table beside the bed. I still don't look at him.. I can't look at him.

"Get some sleep now sweetheart. I know you don't want to talk about it so I'm not pressing you. It will be much easier if you talk, but its okay if you don't want to." He whispered. His tone low, soft and barely audible with concern. I nodded and still refuse to look at him. He didn't say anything after that and let me lay down and tuck me under the sheets.

"Goodnight babe." He kiss me goodnight and settle himself on the couch.

Shutting my puffy eyes and let my tiredness consume me I drift off to sleep.

Brix

Here she goes again shutting me down. I let a frustrated sigh and drop myself on the single couch. Bending my head a bit backwards I stare at the ceiling I felt tired.

"I..I c-cut myself."

My earth suddenly froze for a second when I heard her voice that out. I barely heard that because her voice was smaller than usual but the agony and pain was there. I balled my fist to get something to hold onto. My poor girl, it was all too much that she had try to kill herself.

She was silent the whole ride but she thank me anyway. My heart really swell on that, that made me put my efforts more. It give me the eagerness to help her as much as I can. She's now asleep and I know she's not talking so I just let her sleep. She needs time for herself so I gave this time to her. When she's ready I know she'll talk. I just gotta wait..

I can feel it that this night will be tough. She brought back a part of her past and I know it will trigger. Making sure that my knife's on my pocket I gave her a final glance. Her sleeping form looks so peaceful from this time. It'll be gone for a while.. Shutting my tired eyes I fall asleep.

My asleep form suddenly flinch when I hear faint cries. You know the kind of cry you heard from the horror movies you've watch? Faint cry but it makes you cringe from horror? That's what I'm hearing right now so I opened my eyes and search the room and it landed on a small girl hugging her knees and rocking her body as she cry faintly.

Fuck.

I suddenly felt that cold crawls to my spine because of what I saw. And it completed my horror and worry breakdown when she started to talk..
