The Bet (D.T.)

Chapter 8:

Anabelle's pov.

When I got home from the party all I did was take my clothes off and got into the shower and scrabbed every part of my body feeling dirty, even though Ethan saved me that jerk still touched me and tried to abuse me. I kept scrabbing and scrabbing till I could no more, I looked at my body burning  red and the marks of the sponge all over it. I decided to get out of bed and I put my PJ's on and went to bed.

I laid there without blinking still repeating the moment in my head, that traumatic moment. And my head still kept thinking what would have happened if Ethan hadn't come through. Lost in my thoughts, repeating scenarios of what happened, suddenly I felt the sunlight in my face. I looked at my phone 7:30 am. Fuck, its Saturday and I didn't sleep.

I tried to call asleep but the more I tried the more I failed at it. When I heard a knock on my door.

" ana? Are you awake honey?" My mom told me without opening the dood. Waiting for a response.

" yeah I'm awake..." I said looking at the clock again. 8:30 am. How the fuck an hour has passed?

" oh okay honey well I'm heading out to work do you need something?"

" no I'm fine. See you later."

" okay!! Bye call me if anything happens."

She left and a I laid there not moving an inch for the last 3 hours. When I heard my phone beep, a text message.

" hey ana!!! Wanna hang out today?" Katherine texted me. Apperently she left earlier than me and did not know of the incidents of yesterday night.

" not feeling like it talk to youbkater not feeling well." I texted back as I put my phone down and went back to my original pose.

When I heard a knock on the front door.

Knock

Knock

Knock

I went downstairs to see who it was, since it was almost 12:00 pm. I was wearing some shorts for pjs and I sports bra. I forgot what I was wearing and without caring I opened the door. To my surprise in front of me was a tall guy, black hair, chocolate eyes, and a beautiful smile.

" hey...I'm can we talk?" Grayson dolan asked me. Then he looked me up and down, trying to act kind of shy but we all knew he was smirking and checking me out.

" um... Yeah sure come on in. And I'm sorry for my clothes I just got out of bed and didn't expect any visit."

" oh its fine dont worry I came unexpected. Can I sit?"

" sure sure. Um let me grab a hoodie don't move." I went upstairs and grabbed the first hoodie I saw and put it on.

" I'm back! Well how did you know I lived here?"

" I got my contacts. And did my research."

" ok? So what are you doing here?"

" I wanted to know how you felt? About last night?"

"Um... I'm fine really I'm just a little overwhelmed about it. Do we have to talk about this?"

" No no I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I mean Ethan is still a little but shaken about it."

" I just... Im still processing everything you know?" I said as a tear was about to fall off. He came up to me and hugged me. I was surprised by his actions but I was not in the position of thinking in anybody or anything else.

" in here for you, you know."

" yeah thanks... But I'm okay."

" you don't break do you?."

" I do its just that I well prefer being strong and try not to break a lot."

" well..." He said caressing my cheek. "Call me if you need anything" he handed me a piece of paper with his number on it. Then he kissed my cheek and walked away.

Grayson's pov.

After I got out of Anabelle's house I went home. I have to admit that right now I'm one step ahead of Ethan. He took a point yesterday but not today. This one was mine. The bet is still on and I intend on wining this.

" in ahead of you big bro."

" why? What are you talking about?"

" the bet I'm ahead I was just at Anabelle's house and I got you back."
