Forsaken

Baby hands and a snappy man

Sleep slowly evaporated in my mind as my eyes cracked open slowly, I lazily lifted my hand to wipe the sleep dust from my eyes as I yawned.

Pulling my hand away I almost jumped seeing a close up of Yoda staring at me. He seemed to grow in towards me before shrinking back slowly. Only to grow and shrink again.

How much did I drink?

Looking up, I found myself burrowed into Aaron's chest. It took me a few seconds to work out where he began and I finished as his arms were wrapped around me. Lifting the sheet I saw his shorts, and legs tangled with mine, placing it back down I thought back to last night.

I smirked realising the floor sleeping plan failed. Enjoying his warmth, the frayed ends of my thoughts pulled.

Why was he pushing me away? What have I done? What did he mean when he said to Zak he was doing what he was doing? Or did do?

Feeling hurt from the arguments yesterday and the way he pushed past me when leaving the meeting, I got up out the bed leaving him asleep.

Grabbing some clothes, I took a shower and dressed before leaving the bathroom quietly. Once ready for work, I picked up my phone and headed down into reception waiting for someone to appear for breakfast.

I didn't understand why he was so cold to me. I couldn't work out what I had done?

My mind went to Mark, the feel of his fingers digging into my arms painfully, the way he shook me in a hope the answer he wanted would fall from my
mouth. The crazed look in his eyes as he threatened me.

"Luna." Bacon spoke placing his hand on my shoulder making me jump. "Easy sweetie."

Looking at him I pulled a smile quickly "How can you smile when you've got tears running down your face?" He asked wiping one away.

Confused I wiped my face with my hand and sniffled quickly. "W-what's up? You're awake early."

"Like wise, I thought you'd be sleeping in."

I shook my head, "No rest for the wicked."

My eyes shifted to the door as Maria came in panting. "Morning." She sang coming over glistening with sweat. "Sleep well?"

I nodded "Good thank you. I didn't know what to do, so I'll be hanging around here until we are ready to do whatever." I smiled.

"Okay babe. I just gotta go shower and pull my boys out of bed. Zak pulled Theo in with us last night, there's only so many times I want my hair pulled. Little hands." She beamed wiggling her fingers.

"We'll hang out here then." Bacon smiled over to me.

"Sweet. Where's Aaron?" She frowned looking around.

"Bed."

"Long night, he pulled his head from his ass yet?" She asked.

"He slept on the floor last night to avoid me. He must have got into the bed by dawn. Listen, I'm grateful of the opportunity but if it's going to cause tension..."

"Nonsense. He needs to change his tampon and move on." She waved off.

I sighed looking at my hands "I'll head back once the photos are done. I don't want tension, not when you got Theo here, babies sense that."

Her face gave me a sympathetic look. "Do what's best for you sweetie. I'll go get them all up."

As Maria left, I looked at Bacon "Don't."
