Shattered Mind (Slow Updates)

Chapter 13

Alexis's POV

As I opened my eyes I felt all of my emotions hit me like a truck, even though I had slept for at least a few hours I felt both the physical and mental wear and tear. I felt arms wrapped around me and immediately knew it was Damian based on his cologne which calmed me almost immediately. I turned my body and looked back, he was fast asleep so I very carefully got out of bed. I knew he would defiantly be exhausted since he always worried a lot when something happened to me.

I glanced over at the clock and saw it was only a few hours later, suddenly my arms started to hurt and I then remembered that I had been clawing at them before Damian brought me out of my thoughts. I sighed and set my head in my hands, I could never control my emotions and it always resulted in someone getting hurt in one way or another. I heard shifting behind me and froze, when he didn't speak I knew he was still asleep. He deserved to have some rest after being worried all day.

I quietly walked over to the window to see who would be here, since whenever something happened usually a few more worried people would appear. I saw a police car and sighed, it had to be Officer Dan and him still being here wouldn't mean good news. I then felt a pang in my chest when I saw Cassy's car, I once again ripped her away from Randy and I was almost sure that at this point Randy had to hate me for constantly taking away his Fiancé.

I saw that Tony was still here too, hopefully his brother is ok being alone. I walk away from the window and make my way downstairs, I could hear conversation but it was out by the front door. I listened a little closer and could tell it was Officer Dan and Romy. He had to be leaving soon or else they would be inside.

I walked away and headed towards the kitchen, out the back widow I saw Cassy and Tony. I kind of just stood in the middle of the kitchen unsure what to do, it felt like if anyone knew if I was awake then all hell would break loose. It sucked that I always dragged so many people down with my problems. No one was able to have any peace and quiet. The back door opened which made me jump and instinctively hide. "At least things are going better with you and your brother." Hearing Cassy's voice made me relax.

Ever since I read that note I'm now terrified that someone is going to break in and come after me, even worse hurting any of the others in the process. I didn't stand but I knew when they walked further into the kitchen they would see me. "Yea its a great cha- Alex are you ok?" Tony knelt down next to me as I nodded. "Yea sorry I just needed to sit." I lied only because I didn't need to worry them with my paranoia. Cassy kneels down next to Tony and rubs my shoulder.

"Where's Damian?" She asks and I look over at the stairs. "He's still sleeping, I didn't want to wake him up because he needs some sleep." They nod and the front door opens and closes making me tense up. I hear a sigh and know its Romy, she walks into the kitchen with Peanut waddling next to her. Right when Peanut see me she runs up and plops next to my legs. Romy opened her mouth to say something but Tony beats her to it. "She just needed to sit and Damian is still sleeping upstairs." That seemed to be what she was going to ask so she nods.

"Well please at least sit in a seat, it worries me to see you on the floor." I nod and Tony and Cassy help me stand and bring me over to a chair. I didn't need the help but I didn't fight it. There was silence as Romy started getting dinner ready, to my own surprise I was the first to break it. "So what's happening now? What did Officer Dan say?" She seemed to hesitate. "Tony can you go wake Damian, it would be easier to tell the both him and Alex at the same time." She says with a sigh, Tony nods and heads upstairs.

I look down and mess with my hands, nervous as to what she's going to say. What if I have to leave? What if they cant do anything about it? Will I live my life in fear again and this time with no recovery? I feel a tear slide down my cheek, Cassy takes my hand and hugs me. "Its not bad I promise, she just wants it to be easier and not have to repeat herself." She whispers, knowing that I had to be thinking the worst.
