Break Me? No Thanks

Chapter VIII

What now? (Unedited)
Present Day

I leaned, stumbling over my own two feet as I turned back after seeing the distraught man.

My mind went blank as I walked aimlessly. Somehow a half hour later, I ended up at the door to my house.

Why would he not tell me? That's something pretty massive he could've mentioned.

I shook my head to clear the thought as I unlocked the door.

It was eerily silent as I closed the door. Thinking, he would've come home after the argument in the street. But I guess not.

I head into my room and drop my bag onto the floor and I flop onto my bed.

My phone buzzed from inside my pocket but I ignored it.

I groaned into the pillow, not caring that my phone was starting to ring with another incoming call.

I mentally rolled my eyes and reached over to pick it up.

"Hello?"  I mumbled into the phone, annoyed at the unanimous caller.

"Sweetheart. where are you?" The voice sounded panicked.  Like they were generally worried.

"I'm sorry but I don't know who this is. You may have the wrong.."

"I don't have the wrong number.."  he cut me off, "I know it's you Nicole, sweetie."

I scoff before replying to this ignorant caller.

"Well. I don't need to tell you where I am.  Who are you?!"

"wHo aRe yOu?"  He mocked me.

"I'm serious. who are you?"

"I'm sErIoUs." The voice continued.

I groaned and hung up on the bastard.  I swear..

My thoughts got cut off as my phone started ringing again.

"What?" I hissed when I saw it was the same number as the guy who just called me.

"I'm sorry Nicole.  Where are you?"

"I still have no idea who you are.. so I'm not telling you." I basically growled through the phone.

I could hear him sigh softly. "It's Wes."

I rolled my eyes and smushed my face into my pillow again.

"Are you back at home?" his voice was quiet since the phone is away from my ear.

I replied with a simple "mmhm".

"Okay.. do you need anything while I'm still out?" his voice came back to me.

"Maybe some Rolo ice cream, Marshmallow Fluff, Nutella and some chocolate sauce would be good,"  I mumbled softly.

"Okay.... I'll be back soon." his voice stammered before I replied with a little bye and hung up.

*Time skip*

I was startled from the repeated taps coming from my bedroom door.

I must've fallen asleep

I yawned and turned over on my bed, to see Wes holding the door open with his hip.  His hands full of sweets and ice cream. Including the Rolo ice cream I had asked for.

"You weren't answering me. I wanted to make sure you were okay.." he stammered and then tapered off.

I nodded my head, letting out another yawn.  "I think I just fell asleep." I replied sheepishly.

"Nice hair though," he smirked, before leaving.

I stood up and looked in my mirror, and blushed at how bad my hair was.. it became a bird's nest with hair sticking up in every direction and I could tell there were so many knots in it.

I became even redder when I realized how my one eye had become red.

I looked down and tried to find anything in my drawers that could help me.

I found my eye drops and the little container that I was looking for.

I hesitated to pull out the contact, but I knew that if I didn't, someone would ask questions.

I took the contact out, and set it into the solution in the little container, before uncapping the eye drops and squeezing a few into my eye.

"Why.. why was it me?" I groaned at how out of EVERYONE in the world, I had this stupid thing with me. I have no idea how to get rid of it too!

I lie my head down on the pillow and just sigh heavily. A few silent tears fell down my face. It felt like it had only been minutes since I closed my eyes before I hear a knock on the door.

I groan and sniffle a little before flipping onto my side, my back to the door before I hear the shuffling of feet and the knob twist.

"Nicole?"  The voice whispered.  

"What," I mumble into the pillow.

"You okay?" The bed dipped slightly.

"No, leave me alone."

"Really?" He chuckled softly.

"Yup."

"Okay, well when you come out, there is something in the fridge for you."

I hummed an Alright before I snuggled back into the pillow. I opened my eyes since I haven't heard him move from where he was.

I turned over onto my back a little to see whats wrong.

His body is hunched over the edge of the bed.  The shirt taunt over his back muscles, every inhale it tightens and relaxes with his exhale.

I fully turn onto my side and reach my hand over, setting it on his back.

"I'm sorry," I whisper softly.. not knowing what to say.

His sharp inhale was the least I expected.

He turned.. his eyes softened with sadness and his hair tousled from the hands running through it intensely.

"Why are you saying sorry? I'm at fault here." His face contorting into one of confusion.

"I know who you are..." my voice trails off. "And thank you."

His eyes widen and his mouth opening and closing like he was a fish out of water.

"They said you wouldn't remember it... The doctors.. the specialists... What do you remember?"

I look at him.  My eye closed against the pillow before I explain.

"All I remember was being beat up, and some handsome guy with brown eyes and a black SUV come to save me.  There was a lot of pain and I had no idea what had happened.  All I know, is that I've been meaning to Thank and repay the guy.. and now I can.."
