Kimberly's POV

My cellphone rang!

I pulled my blankets closer to my body and then turned to face the other side. It was the fourteenth time already, and it was becoming pretty frustrating. It was three am for crying out loud. I felt myself relax when it finally stopped ringing. I sighed and then shut my eyes.

Finally,Some peace and quiet.

Which was all I had had for the past fifteen days.

I drew in a deep breath and then sat up slowly. I pulled off the blanket and then reached for the light switch. I had no idea why I turned it on but I suddenly felt the urge to. I made for the bathroom. I caught a glimpse of my reflection when I walked past the mirror and I felt my feet come to a halt. I took a few steps back and then stopped in front of the mirror. I cringed back at my own reflection and then ran my hand through my tangled mess of a hair.

Oh,Kim

What has happened to you?

I starred at the mirror for a short moment,trying to get used to the sight of the huge eye bags beneath my eyes, my reddened nose and ears and my unsightly hair. Even when mum was alive,not once had I looked as haggard as I did right now.

Mum.....

I shook my head and then exhaled. I was done crying. It was time to move on. I turned around and then let my eyes examine my environment,from the dead flowers in the vase,to my mess of a bed and then the tissue paper beside the bed. I drew in a deep breath and then moved towards the bed. I ran my hands towards the sheets and then bit down on my lower lip. I stood straight once more and then moved towards the balcony. I reached for the handle and then pulled it open slowly. I shut my eyes and then inhaled,taking in the fresh air that came right at me. I exhaled and then took a few steps further into the balcony. I let my eyes wander further towards the swimming pool and I don't know how long I stood there staring at it but I suddenly missed the feel of water on my skin.

I sniffed and then frowned.

God,I needed a shower.

I frowned and then halted. My body stiffened completely and my breath quickened..

Someone was watching me....

Going against every single urge in body to turn and run away,I whirled around breath and I suddenly regretted I did. Resentment washed over me and I felt a slight pull in my chest as soon as my eyes met his. Those eyes that had once made my heart beat faster now made me angry as hell.
