I stand there in the middle of the kitchen crying like a baby.

"Yelle" Christian calls me. His voice a whole lot softer than it was a minute ago.

I rush out of the kitchen and make my way to my room.

"Shit!" I hear Christian curse and he kicks a chair.

I get into my room and go straight to the bathroom. I turn the shower on and step in without taking my clothes off or waiting for the water to get hot.

I take the soaked clothes off as the water gets hotter. I didn't even cover my head to keep my hair dry.

I take the bathing sponge I never used before, because of how hard it is and start scrubbing my body harshly, but it doesn't help cause the dirt I feel on my body is not physical.

How could I have been so stupid to let him touch me?

I should have know better seeing the fact that our first meeting was not normal.

I scrub my body so hard it's deep red and it's burning.

"Stop!" Christian yells pulling the sponge out of my hand forcefully.

I sit down on the floor in the shower and close my eyes. Christian turns the water off and helps me up. He ties a robe around my body and makes me sit down on the chair in the bathroom so he can tie a towel around my hair.

"Yelle... Yelle, look at me. Honey you need to calm down"

"How could I've been so stupid Chris?"

"Calm down Yelle. Look at me"

I try to look at him, but my sight is blurry. I screw my eyes shut and then open them again, but everything's as blurred as it was a few seconds ago.

Christian puts a glass to my mouth and says "drink up honey. It's water"

I drink all of it and close my eyes as I lay my head back.

"You OK?" Asks Christian after a minute or three and I open my eyes.

The blur has been cleared and I can see him clearly now. I nod.

"Wha...what'd he say to you?" I manage to croak out.

"You need to rest" he answers dodging my question.

I want to push him to tell me, but I don't have the energy for it.

He blow dries my hair and gets me some clothes to wear.

He leaves me alone in the bathroom to get dressed. When I'm done I walk into the room and spot him on my bed.

"You alright?" He asks again and I nod.

"Come. You need to rest" he says holding his hand out to me.

I take his hand and lie down next to him.

"My life turned into a big drama something since this school year started. I cried more than I ever did" I say sadly.

"Yeah, that's true. I can't blame you cause a lot has been going on. You'll be fine"

He pulls me closer to him with his arm around me and I lay my head on his chest.

He rubs my head gently and I feel my eyes getting heavier.

"Goodnight babe" he says and places a kiss on my head, before I fall asleep.

***

"Baby. Wake up" a familiar voice says, calling me out of my sleep.

My mom rubs my head lovingly as she calls my name.

"Mom?"

"Yes honey. It's me. Good morning"

"Good morning. What're you doing here?" I croak out. My voice is still thick from the sleep.

"I just came to see you guys before I go to work. Are you alright?" She asks and I turn to look at Chris, hoping he didn't tell her anything. He just shrugs to me.

"Yeah I'm great" I answer.

"Thank God. I had a bad dream about you yesterday, so I kinda got worried" says my mom.

"There's no need to be worried mom. We're both doing fine. Thanks for coming over" I reply.

"Good. You need to get up or else you'll be late for school. You look so tired. Did you even sleep last night?" She asks concerned.

"Yeah I did. Didn't get much tho, but I'm fine"

"Baby you don't really look alright. You need to see a doctor"

"Mom I'm fine. Don't worry about it. It's probably the lack of sleep"

I push the covers off of my body and step out of bed. After I take a few steps towards the closet I felt my head spinning as a sharp pain shoots through my head.

After that everything went black.
