Within These Walls

Chapter 8

    I woke up with Alice next to me in bed. I freaked out for a minute. I shook her slightly. She turned and tossed and opened her eyes. She smiled at me. "Did you and I...?" She nodded. "Oh..."

"So, um, I think I'll go take a shower . If you want anything to eat, there's probably breakfast downstairs already. So...yeah," I said. It was very awkward. I left her alone and walked into the bathroom. I checked myself in the mirror. I had dark hickeys all over my neck and chest. I turned around. On my back, I had nail scratches in all directions. Some with a little blood crusted around the edges.

  I was in the middle of having a conversation with myself when I felt arms wrap around my torso. I flinched at the touch. I turned around. "Alice!" I gasped. "Did you think I would leave you alone that easily?" She asked.

        I shrugged.

  "You know Kayden... I really had fun last night," she purred. I cleared my throat. "O-oh? Really?" I asked. She nodded and kissed my neck. I put my hands on her hips. I kissed her forcefully. I don't know why I was doing this. Maybe I wanted to escape reality and this was my way of doing so. Maybe I wanted to fill the void inside me.

     I picked her up and pinned her against the shower door. Her legs around my waist. The hot water falling on our skin, making steam rise up.

I was just about done when out of the corner of my eye, I saw blonde hair leaving in a rush. Had Alice really left the door open? Had Jessica really seen all of that?

  Alice left without being seen. I had a hoodie on and shorts with black Nikes. I made my way down the stairs. I realised that everyone was looking at me. No, not looking, glaring. Apart from Jessica, who laid on the couch staring off into space. A single tear ran down her cheek.

  Thomas ran to comfort her. I leaned against the stairway, watching. I narrowed my eyes. Hayden shook his head at me. I shrugged it off. Trenton then ran to her and sat down on the other side of her. I inhaled sharply.

  I started back upstairs and changed into ripped black skinny  jeans and a black beater. I ran back downstairs, took one last look at them, flipped both Thomas and Trenton out, then slammed the door shut. I took out a cig, took a puff then walked to my Lamborghini. I needed to get away.

Ooooooo, I wonder where Kayden is going. Please keep reading and give me feedback.
