Youngest

Chapter 17

Shays POV

The rest of the day passed by pretty fast, after troian and sash came back to set she stuck to my side like glue. After every take I felt her hand slide into mine or her arm snake around my waist. It was strange, despite spending the entire week with me she still hadn't told me what had happened. I don't want to push her but I can't help her if I don't know what's wrong.

We wrapped at 6pm and the two of us gathered our things before making the way back to my car. Again her hand was firmly in mine until she had to let go to get in but sure enough as soon as our seat belts were buckled she had hold of my hand again.

I can't say I minded, she is very special to me and if that gives her comfort then that's absolutely fine by me. The drive home was average, small talk was made. We spoke about what we wanted for dinner, we decided to order in a pizza, within 20 minutes we'd arrived at my house. I parked the car, letting go of sasha's hand to get out and open the house. Once again I felt an arm slide around my waist once the door was open. I smiled slightly pulling her into a hug drawing circles on her back.
'I'm so proud of you baby'  I whispered to her. She tilted her head to look up at me as I smiled.
'Come on let's order the pizza' I said moving my arm to around her shoulder before calling dominos.

After ordering the pizza we made our way upstairs to get changed into more comfy clothes. Sasha had her own room at my house but she'd stayed in mine since she came out of hospital. Her body was still covered in bruises and scars, majority of which were caused in the incident however some were self inflicted. I knew I needed to speak to her I just wasn't sure how to bring it up. I'd tried once before and she completely shut down. I think I just need to wait for her to come to me. I don't want to push it.

After changing into sweats and a tank top we made our way back downstairs. I turned to her handing her the tv remote and she put on the next episode of scream. We'd been watching it every night since she got out of the hospital, it had become routine. I went and got us each a glass of red wine before answering the door to the pizza guy.

We sat and ate watching the episode, a small comment here and there but mostly silent. As the credits rolled I looked over at sasha who's eyes were now shut and her head laid on my lap. I stroked her hair gently before slowly lifting her head to wake her. 'Let's get you to bed sash' I whispered. We made our way up the stairs and crawled into bed. She curled up into my side taking hold of a piece of my shirt in her hand before slowly drifting off to sleep. 'Goodnight babygirl' I said before allowing sleep to overtake me.
