Shattered Mind (Slow Updates)

Chapter 8

Alexis's POV

When I walk up to the house I see Cassy's car and sigh knowing that I wont be able to hear the end of it when I walk inside. I make myself relax and walk inside, immediately getting attacked by someone that I knew was Cassy. She has been staying with Randy in a motel while I was in the hospital which why they aren't back on campus.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You cant just leave especially this late at night! Alexis I love you and hate to see you upset but you cant do that!" I just sigh and force an apologetic smile even though I still felt empty yet content so I thankfully wouldn't blow up on her like I did with Damian who I still need to apologize to.

"Yes I know, I just felt so closed in and I really just needed space and to be away from everyone." I explain and her features soften, she give me a normal hug and she gives me one back. "You shouldn't be saying sorry to me, Damian is feeling like he is failing to take care of you and to help you. You really need to go talk to him." I simply nod and she lets me go, I walk upstairs and go to my room first.

I put my cigarettes and lighter in my lock box and hide it in my closet before heading over to Damian's room. I gently knock on the door before walking in, he was laying on his back with his eyes closed but I could tell that he wasn't sleeping. He opens his eyes and looks at me but says nothing. I sigh sadly and walk over sitting beside him on the bed. "I'm sorry for freaking out like I did, I just needed space away from everything and everything was just so bottled up."

He sighs and pulls me down to his chest, hugging me tightly. "I understand, but your life isn't worthless, don't ever say that again." He whispers in my ear and lightly kisses my lips. I sigh against his lips and kiss him back before kicking off my shoes and cuddling up to him. I felt horrible about what had happened and I really do expect him to drop me at any second.

My hand went to the charm on the necklace Tony gave me but I stay silent, the more I thought about it the more I knew that Damian really would drop me if he knew I was smoking. I sigh to myself, I just felt so emotionally drained. Damian gently rubs my back and holds me close, I soon fell asleep my last conscious thought was how much I felt like an idiot.

...

I wake up to an annoying beeping sound and groan covering my ears not wanting to wake up, I felt way too tired to move but I couldn't stand the sound. But when I open my eyes it stops and I notice Damian stretch a little. it then clicks in my mind that today was Tuesday and we had school. I whine and hit myself in the face with a pillow. I hear a chuckle and the pillow is lifted to show a tired Damian grinning at me.

"I know what you're gonna ask and no we have to go, you already missed enough and if you want to get out of this damn school this year then you have to go." He say and gives me a small peck on my lips. I pout and whine again. "But I'm tired" He chuckles again and gets out of bed. I guess he had taken off his shirt after I fell asleep because he didn't have one on and I couldn't help but stare at him.

Not because he looked really hot, although that is a big reason, but I couldn't help but notice he had no imperfections on his upper body. No scars, no blemishes, he was fit and his tattoos looked amazing. It made me think about how I had many many scars on my body, I realize that Damian had stopped moving and I look away from his tattoos and to his face to see that he was looking at me with a small smirk.

"No go ahead, you can keep looking at this sexy body." he says cockily and I roll my eyes throwing a pillow at him even as my face flushed bright red. I cover my face to hide it but my hands are moved away and he gently grips my chin and lifts my head to look at him. "Don't hide your blush from me, I love making you blush therefore I want to see it." He whispers as his hand gently trails down my neck.
