Sometimes You Fall (Denis Stoff)

Chapter 20

Lexi's POV

I just stood there. I can't believe Denis would do that.

"It's not what it looks like" he said.

"It's exactly what it looks like!" I yelled.

By now I was in tears. Dasha walked out of the room and pushed me.

"He would've fucked me if you didn't come here" she whispered.

I pushed her into the wall, I punched and kicked her. Denis pulled me back. She ran out of the room.

"Don't touch me. Who's fucking side are you on anyway?!" I yelled.

I ran out of the room and out of the hotel. I just kept running. I didn't know where I was. Why would he do this to me? I thought he loved me. I collapsed on some sand. I just laid there and cried.

Denis' POV

I was throwing things across the room and just screaming. I didn't cheat! She came on to me. This is such bullshit. I can't lose Lexi, she's my everything. I run out the door and lock it. I walk out the hotel. Now where do i look for her?

I get my phone out and message her multiple times. I call her but she doesn't pick up. I can't lose her.

Lexi's POV

Why do bad things always happen to me? I've just been laying for about 2 hours. I get up and walk to our hotel. I open the door and it looks atrocious. There's things thrown everywhere and holes in the wall. I go in the bathroom and lock the door. I take off my phone case and get out an old friend.

Triggering

One cut for murdering my parents.
Another cut for Denis.
A third cut for Chad.
And a fourth for my cousins.
I just keep cutting on my wrists and my thighs. No one cares. They never did. I was so stupid to think that there was someone there for me.

'You're better than this' Carter says.

'I deserve it'

'No you don't, Denis wouldn't have cheated on you'

'That's what it looked like'

'Exactly, that's what it looked like, that doesn't mean that's exactly what happened'

'Can you please just leave me alone I don't need this right now'

'You need to hear Denis out!'

"Leave me alone!" I screamed.

Denis' POV

It's 10:00 and I still can't find her. I walked back up to our room and I hear her scream. I run into the bedroom and try to open the door. She locked it.

"Lexi?"

I hear her sniffle.

"Baby, please open the door. I know how it looked but I didn't cheat on you. She came onto me and I pushed her off. I love you and only you. Please let me in"

I hear the door unlock and I open it. She's sitting in the corner with her head buried in her knees. Her wrists and thighs have cuts on them. This is all my fault. I walk over to her and sit next to her. I wrap my arms around her but she pushes me away. I sigh. I grab some makeup pads and grab her writs.

"I'm going to clean them"

She nods and I clean them. I grab another pad and clean her other wrists.

"Can I clean your thighs too?"
She nods and puts her legs down.

While I clean her writs I caress her thigh. She always liked it. I throw the pads in the bin and I look at her.
