One week later.

It's been a week since the attack at Jai's place. I have also been waking up in the middle of the night screaming. I have nightmares of when I killed Clive.

I don't know how Jai and Carter can live with what they did, but it's hard for me.

Jai wraps his arms around me. He pulls me closer to him. "You need to talk to someone about this."

I shake my head. "I don't want to talk to anyone."

Jai looks at the door. "Your brother and sister are worried about you as well. You hardly talk to them."

I wrap my arms around him. "Can you help me make the pain go away?"

Jai pulls away from me. "I'm not going to take advantage of you while your in this state of mind. It will be a huge mistake."

I rise. "I'm going out for a bit." I walk over to the cupboard and I put on a dress. "Don't wait up." I grab my purse and walk out of the house. I walk down the stairs and enter Lusive.

Ethan is standing in the corner with a girl. He looks at me as I take a seat. He has bruises covering his face from what happened last week.

I slam my hand on the bar. "Give me a beer."

The bartender places the drink in front of me.

I slide him the cash. "Thanks,"

He shakes his head. "The boss said you don't need to pay for your drinks."

When did he say that?

"Whatever," I bring the bottle to my lips and I drink.

Ethan walks over to me. "Hey, Chloe. How are you feeling?"

"Fine," I mumble.

"Bullshit! If you were fine you wouldn't be here drinking and trying to numb the way you feel." He climbs onto the stool next to me. "You can talk to me if you want."

I cross my arms. "What am I supposed to tell you?"

He shrugs. "Anything, its better than keeping it bottled up until your about to explode." He touches my arm. "You have a sister that needs you. Sort yourself out before you lose her. You would feel worst if Aleysa died while you were going through whatever your feeling right now."

I take his hand and I lead him to Jai's office. I open the door and walk to Jai's chair. I sit in it. "Do you want to know what I'm feeling?" Ethan nods. "I feel guilty for killing Clive. I know he deserved it for killing my parents, but I didn't realise how it would effect me after I took his life."

He wraps his arms around me. "It's natural to feel the way you do after your first kill. It gets easier the more you do it. I can tell that's not your sort of thing. What I suggest you do is talk to a professional or someone you trust. They will help you with this."

"I don't trust the professionals they would turn me in." I look at the picture of Jai and I. "The person I want to talk to is the one that I share a bed with, but I don't know how he would feel about this topic."
