Chapter 5: Explanations

I woke up with my face smothered into one of my pillows. I looked over at the alarm clock on my nightstand. Eleven-forty. Almost noon. That medicine really knocked me out. I don't think I even dreamed anymore after they gave it to me. I flung the blankets off, freeing my legs and climbed out of bed. I went to my dresser opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a pair of sweatpants. I opened the top drawer I pulled out some long fuzzy socks and slipped them and my pants on. I walked into the bathroom and flicked on the light. After quickly brushing my teeth i grabbed a clip and tossed my hair up in it. After I was feeling more awake I made my way down the stairs. I could hear the quiet conversations coming from the kitchen. I walked through the hall leading to the kitchen.

"What are we going to do? She's not going to be safe here for long. They're keeping eyes on us. They'll notice if we never let her leave." Ellvie sounded so sad. Quietly I leaned in the doorway to see them. Ryley held one of Ellvie's delicate hands in both of his running his thumb over her knuckles.

"It'll be okay love. We'll work this out. We will tell her what we can. Call Tobi and have him come over to help with this. He's gonna be around much more and he needs to be here for this." He seemed so calm and collected. The boards under my feet suddenly creaked with my shift in positions and they looked up at me.

"What do you need to talk to me about?" I meant to sound strong but it came out a bit squeaky. Ellvie smiled softly and held her free hand out to me. I stepped in and accepted her hand. She pulled me into a hug kissed my forehead and whispered softly to me.

"Everything's going to be fine love. I promise. We will tell you everything we can as soon as Tobi arrives. While we wait for him I want you to eat some breakfast then go get changed." I nodded as Ryley makes soothing circles on my back. "Okay eat love. We'll go get ahold of Tobi." They stood up as I went over to the pantry looking for something to eat. I watched the head upstairs to their room and then I grabbed a pack of brown sugar poptarts and poured myself a small glass of milk. Then took the stairs quickly back up to my room. I placed the poptarts in the drawer of my nightstand not really feeling up to eating an I quickly down the cup of milk. I run over to my dresser and pull out a bra, underwear and some knee high socks from the top drawer. I also find a grey long sleeve Hensley shirt and a pair of dark jeans. I lay them out over the chair by the vanity and turn on the lights in the bathroom. As I'm about to start the shower water I turn back to the bathtub and quickly changed my mind. I need to try an relax some and I think a bath is just what I need. I start the water running hot and plug up the tub. Then I go to the small cabinet containing the bath soaps and and extracts. I pull a few that catch my eye and read each one as I pour a bit in. The first is a dark green bottle. The labels all look handwritten. This one for stress relief and relaxation. The next clear and open mind, so that maybe with whatever I'm told later, I'll be more accepting this bottle was a light blue almost white. And the last I have out is light purple and for focus and healing. The smells fill the bathroom. Each scent so intoxicating.

I strip down and climb in one foot at a time getting used to the temperature. All the pain in my body slowly shrinks down to needle points as I get my entire body submerged. Steam floats around my head clearing my mind of all the fog from the drugs I took last night. I take deep slow and deliberate breaths letting these potions do they're trick as my eyes slide shut I let my mind drift off and wander.

"Try and remember what happened last night." I murmur softly to myself. I see flashes of different colors and sense memories so I push myself harder. Remember." I'm pulled in. I see the accident. I can see him calling my name as I run from the house into my car. I see the terrifying man standing above me a sneer of his face as he shoves a rod through my chest. I'm gasping for air as I see him laughing to the sky about how it's all over now. I don't understand why all this happened to me. What did I do wrong. I still don't really know anything about who I am though god I wish I did. Was I a bad person? Was I some goody two shoes or someone who just didn't give a crap?
